Battleforce: Chaos Space Marines Warband Values & Pricing
The Chaos Space Marines Warband Battleforce is full of daemon engines, corrupted firepower, Cultist bodies for the objective grind, and a Lord Discordant rolling in like he already owns the galaxy, because honestly, he’s probably made plans for it.
Between the Lord Discordant, two Obliterators, Venomcrawler, 20 Chaos Cultists, and 10 Legionaries, this box feels like GW remembered Chaos Space Marines work best when they bring enough corrupted machinery and expendable followers to make the Corpse-Emperor’s paperwork burst into flames.

Is This Chaos Space Marines Box Worth It?
You’re getting a decent pile of value here, with around $84 in savings, though this isn’t quite some fresh new offering dragged screaming out of the Eye of Terror.
This is still a solid Chaos Space Marines starter force: Cultists to flood objectives, Legionaries to do the actual traitor marine work, Obliterators to bring warped-up firepower, a Venomcrawler for daemon engine pressure, and a Lord Discordant to make the whole thing feel appropriately loud.
So, whether you’re starting a new undivided Chaos Space Marines army or just want more Cultists and daemon engines for the Long War, this box has real value, but it’s also only one kit different from the recent Christmas CSM Battleforce, so players who grabbed that one may not feel quite as tempted.
How Many Points Is This?
We would guess the Battleforce Chaos Space Marines Warband points are somewhere around 700.
What to Buy Next?
If you want this Chaos Space Marines Warband Battleforce to feel like a proper dark crusade instead of one angry daemon engine convention with some Cultists holding the coats, start with another box of Legionaries or Chosen so you’ve got more reliable bodies for trading, objectives, and doing actual traitor marine work.
After that, a Rhino or two gives your infantry some much-needed mobility, because walking across the table while loyalists point every gun in the sector at you is very dramatic but usually a terrible plan.
Finally, add a Forgefiend, Havocs, or more daemon engine support, depending on your preferred flavor of battlefield heresy, so the Obliterators and Venomcrawler aren’t carrying the whole Long War themselves.
Final Thoughts From Us on the Battleforce: Chaos Space Marines Warband
At the end of the day, the Chaos Space Marines Warband Battleforce is a decent buy for anyone who needs everything in the box; the lineup is pretty decent with: daemon engines, warped-up firepower, and enough expendable Cultists to take objectives.
Just keep the big caveat in mind: this box is only one kit different from Christmas Chaos Battleforce, so it may not hit quite as hard if you already grabbed that one. If you’re starting fresh or missed the previous box, though, this is still a solid launch pad for a new Chaos Space Marines army and an easy way to reinforce an existing warband without buying everything separately.
