A hefty load of brand new Warhammer Battleforces have been previewed for the holidays, and it’s time to break down the savings with these new boxes.
We saw confirmed previews earlier in the year for wave one of Games Workshop’s holiday bundles that will be coming to their stores and hobby shops alike. Get ready for the holidays and throw a few of these boxes on your list!
Now we’re seeing what looks to be some great Battleforce bundles for the holidays that will be headed our way for Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, and hobby enthusiasts alike!
Christmas is right around the corner and if you were looking to play a new army, one of these Battleforces might be the perfect start.

These nine new battleforces were spotted on multiple Facebook Groups over the weekend, and appear to be from GW’s Asian Market.
Don’t forget in addition to these nine, the Death Guard Battleforce takes the new bundle count up ten so far!
Battleforce Value & Breakdown
We’ll list the contents we can see in each box and have the base price of each unit out to the side. That way we can compare how much you’ll actually be saving.
Keep in mind that we are assuming that the Battleforces will keep the same price for the past two years, so these boxes should look to be about $170 on the shelf. We also tried our best to make out each unit in the pictures as well, but there may be some errors where we could not make out the exact model count for a particular unit.

Obviously, some boxes have way more value potential than others so some of these boxes MAY cost more than $170 but we don’t know for sure.
