Four upcoming Age of Sigmar Christmas Battleforces have been revealed by GW! Check out everything coming to the mortal realms soon!
Today on Warhammer Community, they revealed everything that will be coming in the Age of Sigmar boxes. If you’ve been looking to start a new army or bolster your forces, these could be the way to go! There are only four of them, but if one of them is your army, they could be really good value. Before we get into the new content, let’s look at what we know.
Age of Sigmar Christmas Battleforces Confirmed!
Last year we actually got an early heads up that new Battleforces were coming in a wave of holiday release rumors. There ended up being 11 Holiday Battleforces (4 Aos, 6 40k, and 1 AT) that ranged from $170 to $200, and they were released on December 7th, 2019.
The highest savings came from the Tyranid Battleforce with the Drukhari Box just behind. Overall, these 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 their value breakdowns in our article from 2019 here with all the prices.
Disciples of Tzeentch Battleforce – Fatesworn Host
If these come in at the same price as last year, this box could be a really good value. Let’s look at everything inside:
- 20 Kairic Acolytes
- 10 Tzaangors
- 3 Tzaangor Enlightened
- 1 Gaunt Summoner
- Lord of Change
Kharadron Overlords Battleforce – Barak-Nar Skyfleet
While you don’t get a ton of minis in this one, each is fairly pricey, so still should be decent value. Let’s look at everything inside:
- Brokk Grungsson, Lord-Magnate of Barak-Nar
- 1 Arkanaut Frigate
- 6 Skywardens/Endrinriggers
- 2 Grundstok Gunhaulers
Ogor Mawtribes Battleforce – Meatgrinder Warglutt
This box really has a lot of Ogors in it and some fun big units as well. Here’s everything inside:
- Ogor Mawtribes Tyrant
- 12 Ogor Gluttons
- 4 Ironguts
- 4 Leadbelchers
- 1 Ironblaster
- 1 Mancrusher
Gloomspite Gitz Battleforce – Fungal Loonhorde
Who doesn’t love some crazed Gobbos tearing across the battlefield on Squigs! Let’s look at what you get in this box:
- Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig
- 6 Rockgut Troggoths
- 1 Dankhold Troggoth
- 14 Squig Hoppers/Boingrot Bounderz
That does it for the AoS side of things! We’ll have to wait and see for pricing, but these are usually a pretty decent buy! Also, if you want one of these, just make sure to grab them quickly as stuff has been selling out fast lately!
Are you excited about these releases? Will you be starting a new army with any of them?
