Games Workshop confirms new holiday battleforce bundles, now come see how much you can save on either a new 40k or Age of Sigmar army!

First lets checkout the confirmations from GW about the new Battleforces:

The cold chill of winter rolls in across the Mortal Realms (apart from the Realm of Fire – it’s still pretty hot there) and with it, 4 new Battleforce sets.

Bigger even than our Start Collecting boxes, each is an ideal way to begin a new army and all make great Christmas gifts.

They will be on sale soon.
For other gift ideas this Christmas, check out our Boxed Games, including the multiplayer cooperative Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower, and the far less cooperative but equally enjoyable Blood Bowl.

What We Know:

It looks like GW is making a return to the old Battleforce offerings of the early 2000’s which retailed for around the same price of today’s start collecting sets ($90).

  • The New Battleforces Will Release on the 16th of December, just in time for the holidays!
  • There will be 8 total, four Age of Sigmar, and four Warhammer 40k
  • The 40k ones will consist of Two Astartes factions, (Space Wolves and Deathwatch), Ad Mech and Tau.
  • Age of Sigmar has the Stormcasts, Slyvaneth, Ironjaws, and Bloodbound.

Overall this seems like another indicator that times are a changing at Games Workshop in 2016, and I for one am ready to welcome our new Hobby Overlords in 2017!
