If you’re thinking about picking up any of the AoS Christmas Battleforces for 2021 here’s how much they are worth!
There are four Aos Christmas Battleforces this year and some are better values than others.
New Age of Sigmar Christmas Battleforces Value for 2021
Last year we also saw four boxes for AoS, with the prices ranging from $200-210. Each box had pretty decent value even though the price tag was a little higher than in years past.
Luckily GW said there will be savings in the boxes:
Not only do they save you money compared to picking up the constituent units separately, but each Battleforce will provide the perfect start – or significant reinforcements – to any collection.
Now, let’s get into the value and pricing for the new Ages of Sigmar Chrismas Battleforces!
Soulblight Gravelords: Revenant Legion $210
First up are the vampires of the Soulblight Gravelords, who lead a dolorous horde of brainless thralls in a bumper box that contains 66 miniatures. Hordes of Deadwalker Zombies are particularly useful for pinning down enemy forces while the Vengorian Lord and their Blood Knights swoop in for the jugular.
All of the models in this box were part of their recently updated line, which means even if you are a vet, most of these might be brand new painting challenges you haven’t had before.
The Revenant Legion is a party in a box with 66 models including a bestial Vengorian Lord, five barded Blood Knights, 20 Deathrattle Skeleton warriors and, count ‘em, 40 Deadwalker Zombies.
Battleforce Value:
- Vengorian Lord: $60
- 5x Blood Knights: $60
- 20x Deathrattle Skeletons: $60
- 40x Deadwalker Zombies: $110
Total MSRP: $290
Total Value: $80
Hedonites of Slaanesh: Sybarite Blade-Carnival $210
Add a little more finesse to your slaughter with the Sybarite Blade-Carnival, which collects a cavalcade of elite Slaanesh Mortals in one place. When these peerless warriors aren’t preening, they’re a surgical strike force comprising 30 miniatures – perfect for tearing reality in two and summoning gaggles of Daemonettes.
Nothing feels worse than getting a box with some old un-updated models in it, luckily just like a bunch of the other battleforces, this one doesn’t!
Led by a Shardspeaker, this box also nets you three Slaangor Fiendbloods, ten Blissbarb archers – plus a lowly homunculus – and five Exalted Seekers which can be built as either Slickblades or Blissbarbs. Then there are ten elite warriors you can build as Mymirdesh Painbringers or frenzied Symbraesh Twinsouls.
Battleforce Value:
- Shardspeaker: $30
- 3X Slaangor Fiendbloods: $50
- 10x Blissbarb archers: $50
- Slickblade Seekers: $65
- Mymirdesh Painbringers: $60
- Symbaresh Twinsouls: $60
Total MSRP: $305
Total Value: $95
Lumineth Realm-lords: Vanari Shining Host $210
From one group of self-involved egotists to another, it’s the pointy-helmed Aelves of Hysh. This insufferably well-oiled Vanari Shining Host focuses on the Tyrionic half of the Realm-lords’ martial forces, bringing 23 models of archers, spearmen, and cavalry to bear with gleaming precision.
If you like High Elves, look no further than the Lumineth Realm-Lords, as they are essentially the spiritual evolution of what we all think of when we hear “High Elves”.

With Vanari Auralan Wardens, Bladelords, Dawnriders, and a Starshard Ballista, all led by a Vanari Bannerblade and a Lord Regent, this is the perfect Tyrionic hammer for newly arrived Realm-lords.
Battleforce Value:
- Vanari Auralan Wardens: $60
- Bladelords: $60
- Dawnriders $60
- Starshard Ballista $50
- Bannerblade $35
- Lord Regent $55
Total MSRP: $320
Total Value: $110
Ossiarch Bonereapers: Mortisan Tithe-Echelon $210
Finally, the Ossiarch Bonereapers are back to collect the Bone Tithe on time, because they really want to make sure Nagash has a good Christmas. This immovable legion of 27 models consists of a core of Mortek Guard, backed up by a Mortek Crawler, and a range of grim bone constructs and heroes ready and willing to forcefully acquire each and every tibia and fibia on the docket.
Those dusting off their knucklebone abacuses ready for the tithe in the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia will be able to pre-order this Battleforce on Saturday. Everywhere else will need to wait a little longer for this set to arrive – but it’s on its way.
As the final battleforce box, the Bonereapers are a more elite variant to the standard skeletons we see inside the Soulblight Gravelords box.
Commanded by a Mortisan Boneshaper and a Soulreaper, these immortal debt collectors include 20 Mortek Guard and three Necropolis Stalkers – or three Immortis Guard, if you prefer. A Gothizzar Harvester refashions errant bones into new constructs for the army, while the Mortek Crawler hurls the gift of caskets of screaming souls at besieged enemies.
Battleforce Value:
- Boneshaper: $30
- Soulreaper: $30
- Mortek Guard: $60
- Necropolis Stalkers: $50
- Gothizzar Harvester: $50
- Mortek Crawler: $80
Total MSRP: $300
Total Value: $90
Overall, these are all decent values and they did a pretty good job of keeping the total MSRP all very similar. While Lumineth has the most value in terms of dollars, it’s not by an insane amount. Whether you play the armies already or not they come with a decent chunk of units to get somebody started off on the right foot or add to your forces.
It looks like each one of these boxes allows the player to get started on a battalion.
