Here’s the lineup and contents of the new Warhammer 40k Battleforces that are up for pre-order now. Click here to see all the values for each and how they stack up to the last six years’ worth of battleforces.
Battleforce: Adeptus Mechanicus – Elimination Maniple (Delayed In AUS & NZ) Retail Price: $210
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
Belisarius Cawl has packed himself up in a battleforce that’s full of surprises. And by surprises, we mean horrible guns and killer robots from humanity’s past. This box comprises 20 miniatures, including the Archmagos Dominus himself and more than enough death-dealing cyborgs.
Led by the top tech wizard around, this is a great pickup for new players or anyone who has yet to get Cawl.
Battleforce: Imperial Knights – Chainbreaker Lance (Delayed In AUS & NZ) Retail Price: $210
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This clutch of Knights is a perfectly sized army project – it’s just a handful of miniatures, after all… The Chainbreaker Lance contains four Armiger-class knights led by Canis Rex, a legendary steed piloted by the equally epic Sir Hekhtur. For those of a less Freeblade persuasion, Canis Rex can also be constructed as any Questoris-class Knight.
The Knights box is a little more flexible and a pretty good buy, as the models are generic enough to want multiples.
Battleforce: Thousand Sons – Court of The Crimson King Retail Price: $210
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Magnus the Red
– 3x Exalted Sorcerers
– 20x Rubric Marines
All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
The first Chaos box has a good assortment of Thousand Sons models, and it’s even led by Magnus! That means it’s fantastic for new players but maybe a little harder to justify for someone who already owns Magnus.
Battleforce: Death Guard – Council of The Death Lord Retail Price: $210
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle
– 5x Blightlord Terminators
– 14x Plague Marines
All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
Like the T Sons, the Death Guard have their Primarch with them! Which is great for new players but might be a negative for anyone who already started getting models.
Battleforce: Adepta Sororitas – Sanctorum Guard Retail Price: $210
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Morvenn Vahl, Abbess Sanctorum of the Adepta Sororitas
– 6x Paragon Warsuits
– 5x Celestian Sacresants
– 10x Battle Sisters, accompanied by 1x Incensor Cherub, which can alternatively be built as Dominions or Celestians
All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
The Sisters follow suit with one of their leaders, but with more great models behind her, this might be a good pick-up for new and returning collectors of the faction.
Battleforce: Adeptus Custodes – Watchers of The Gate Retail Price: $210
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Captain-General Trajann Valoris
– 3x Vertus Praetors, one of which can be built as a Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike
– 3x Allarus Custodians, one of which can be built as a Vexilus Praetor in Allarus Terminator Armour and another as a Shield-Captain in Allarus Terminator Armour
– 15x Custodian Guards, which include components to build some as Shield-Captains and Vexilus Praetors
All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
Custodes look like a great box with quite a few models and only Trajan as the potential dupe purchase for existing players.
Battleforce: Imperial Fists – Bastion Strike Force Retail Price: $210
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Tor Garadon
– 3x Aggressors
– 15x Heavy Intercessors
– 2x Imperial Fists Primaris Upgrades frames
All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
Imperial fists don’t have a big top dog like the other factions, but this box will still be a great starting point for new players.
Battleforce: Raven Guard – Ravenstrike Battle Force Retail Price: $210
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Kayvaan Shrike
– 1x Librarian in Phobos Armour
– 2x Invictor Tactical Warsuits
– 3x Eliminators
– 10x Reivers
All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
Ravenguard is just like the Imperial Fists, great for new players and not any big named models.
Adeptus Mechanicus – Technoarcheologist Retail Price: $33.50
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This multipart plastic kit builds one Technoarcheologist, a specialist Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Armed with a powerful eradication pistol and clad in hooded robes, this bionic sage is festooned with the tools, pouches, and sensors of their profession – including a disruptive omni-scrambler and the sparking servo-arc claw affixed to their backpack.
The kit comprises five plastic push-fit components, and is supplied with 1x Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly
As a new HQ this great to finally see a separate release. One support piece can add many different play options to a list!
Escher Cutters Retail Price: $47
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This multipart plastic kit builds four Escher Cutters, lightning-fast jetbikes that can be added to any Escher gang. These ferocious flying machines boast a powerful front turbine with exposed engine cylinders, providing thrust for their sleek, bladed chassis. Each Cutter has a deadly gas trap launcher installed on its undercarriage, and sports a pair of mounted weapons on either side of the jetbike – you can choose between twin-linked grenade launchers, twin-linked heavy stubbers, or twin-linked plasma guns. The kit includes a choice of two different head designs and four interchangeable hairstyles, to give each of your Escher riders their own distinct appearance.
This set consists of 124 plastic components, and is supplied with 4x Citadel 60x35mm Oval Bases, each with a ball top flying stem. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
These new Jet bikes are sweet, so Escher players rejoice they can keep up with the Goliaths now!
Escher Tactics Cards Retail Price: $16.50 & Ash Wastes Dice Retail Price: $18
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
There are two sets of Escher Tactics Cards coming out – one for vehicles, and another for your battles in the underhive. Both contain 18 Escher-specific cards and eight blank cards to keep track of your gangers and vehicles. The Escher Vehicle Tactics Cards contain new cards to use in the ash wastes, while the Escher Gang Tactics set is a reprint of a previous set, and the eight Escher-themed dice are coloured in stylish purple with luxurious golden ink. You get three regular D6s, three Necromunda injury dice, an ammo die, and a scatter die.
