santa kharn

Games Workshop gave us a preview of next week’s pre-orders, and it’s time to breakdown the savings you’ll be getting with these new Battleforce boxes.

Games Workshop gave us a big teaser on what’s due to come out next week. Now looks like it’s going to be the perfect time to expand your army, or start a new one, with these Battleforce boxes.

Let’s take a look at what they had to say, how much they’re going to cost you, and what you can expect to save overall.

For Warhammer 40,000, there are battleforces for the Orks, Genestealer Cults, Astra Militarum and T’au Empire. Each of these armies is known for its high model-count, and these battleforces make collecting them that much simpler; if you’re new to the army, each set contains a full force you can use in your games of Warhammer 40,000, while if you’re an existing player, the battleforces give you a range of handy units while saving you some money.
