Save Big With GW’s 2018 Battleforce Bundle Breakdowns

A ton of brand new Warhammer Battleforces are coming next week for 40k and AoS. Let’s break down the savings again on these amazing deals.

We saw confirmed previews earlier in the year for wave one of Games Workshop’s holiday bundles that will be coming to their stores and hobby shops alike. Get ready for the holidays and throw a few of these boxes on your list!

Ten great Battleforce bundles are coming for the holidays (11 if you include the Adeptus Titanicus Battlegroup) that will be headed our way for Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, and hobby enthusiasts alike!

AT Battlegroup

GW says you’ll save buying a pair of Warhounds with the value included in this set. Pricing estimates would put this at around $170 for the battleforce per their description. Add in a rules set for $60 and you have yourself a nice little force of Titans.

Also, the new Wrath & Glory box seems to also be a potential winner for hobby dollars, but the release date is currently unknown.

Battleforce Value & Breakdown

Keep in mind that the Battleforces will keep the same price for the past two years, so these boxes are $170 off the shelf.  We also tried our best to make out each unit in the pictures as well, but there may be some errors where we could not make out the exact model count for a particular unit.

It also looks like the Imperial Fists will be getting an upgrade sprue in their new Battleforce as well according to GW themselves:

Christmas is right around the corner and if you were looking to play a new army, one of these Battleforces might be the perfect start.

Obviously, some boxes have way more value potential than others, but they are all winners in our book. Perhaps some will stand out more than others once the changes from Chapter Approved are fully digested by eager players.
