2022 40k Christmas Battleforces: Value Breakdown

Thanks to Warhammer Community, we know there will be a whopping eight 40k Christmas Battleforces in 2022 (and now we also know the pricing). That is huge, as starting in 2016, there were only eight battleforces altogether for both AoS and Warhammer 40k total!

Somehow, it’s happened again – Christmas is nearly here. It’s time for the greatest gift possible – Yuletide cheer and festive spirit. Or even better, massive Battleforce boxes full of Warhammer 40,000 goodies.

Are the 2022 Warhammer 40k Christmas Battleforces Worth it?

Overall, they all have about the same value with a spread of about 20 bucks (which is about $20 higher than in 2021). Either way, whatever battleforce you pick, they will all have decent value inside. So that point, it just really just comes down to if you “need” the minis.

Some Battleforce boxes are more focused on a certain aspect of an army, while others are more varied. If you look at the Adeptus Custodes box, almost all the value comes from the Custodian Guard, so if you really want a lot of troops, it’s a good buy.

However, the boxes for Chaos are pretty decent, but a huge value comes in the way of the big characters, so if you already have them, it doesn’t have too much other value.

Regardless, they are all decent buys considering they kept the same $210 price as last year.
