Are they going to be worth the money? Let’s look at the new 40k Christmas Battleforces confirmed values and see how much you will save!
There are six Warhammer 40k Christmas Battleforces this year, ranging from $200-$210, an increase from last year but we’ll talk more on that in a minute. Some are much better values than others, so let’s see how much you will save!
40k Christmas Battleforces: Values & Pricing
The highest savings from last year came from the Tyranid Battleforce with the Drukhari Box just behind. They were are all fairly popular armies in 40k and came with a decent chunk of units to get somebody started off on the right foot. Each one of these boxes allowed players to make a Patrol Detachment at the very least. However, some are closer to filling out Battalions (like the Blood Angels Box) than others.
You can find out more about the value breakdowns from last year in our article from 2019 here with all the prices. Now let’s dive into the new boxes!

Total Value: $109
This is kind of an assortment of units but does save you some pretty decent cash, and most of these older units look to be sold out online now as well.
