Don’t miss the latest value and pricing breakdown in the new Warhammer the Old World Orcs & Goblins Army Battalion Box!
These Battalion boxes look like they will be the Vanguard or Combat Patrol equivalent for Warhammer The Old World. Made to get you a decent starting force without dishing out a ton of cash!
Now that both the Bretonnians and Tomb Kings have their own Core box sets, it appears Games Workshop will release the rest of the factions with Battalion boxes with no rules inside.
Orcs & Goblins Army Battalion Box Value is Pretty Shocking
Let’s look at the estimated pricing for the Orcs & Goblins Army Battalion Box and how much you could save! Remember, though, this is based on recent releases (taking comparisons from the Horus Heresy Age of Darkness box as the ‘Age of Sigmar’ equivalent and Vanguard boxes from AoS). So, as always, nothing is confirmed until GW says it is…
The Orc and Goblin Tribes are launching with a massive battalion box alongside an Arcane Journal. The former contains 73 plastic miniatures – two Orc Boar Chariots, 31 Orc Boyz (including a champion, a musician, and a standard bearer), and 40 Goblins with command upgrades of their own.
Each of these classic kits has options aplenty – there are lots of different heads and shield patterns, while the Orcs can have hand weapons or spears to go with their shields, and the Goblins can be armed with shortbows or spears and shields.

Orcs & Goblins Army Battalion Box Description
The Orcs & Goblins are a ravaging horde of Green that smash through the cities of the Old World! They might not be very organized, but when a giant mob of Greenskins comes charging at you, they bring the battle.
On the tabletop, they are super fun to play with a bunch of models, interesting units, and a wide variety of options. If you want to have fun games, you really can’t go wrong with them.
Orc Boyz
The Orc Boyz make up the backbone of most Orc armies; they are large, mean, and strong. They don’t have the highest damage output out there, but their sheer size and mass will carry them through most battles.
On the tabletop, you want to bring a lot of them and throw in a couple of characters to buff them up.
Goblins
Goblins are the smaller cousins of Orcs, but they make up for their lack of size with numbers! Their stats might look meager, but that doesn’t matter. Where ten fall in battle, another 20 will take their place.
Just be ready for them to fall in battle quickly, but that’s okay; what else is a goblin supposed to do?
Orc Chariots
When you need to smash through enemy lines, you bring in the Orc Chariots! They are powered by huge boars, while the riders sport an array of spears and weapons.
They move quite fast and cause impact hits, which can swing combats in your favor quite quickly.
Orc & Goblin Battalion Army Box Comparisons
Below, you can see how similarly priced items sell and how much value they have. $170 is a hard price to gauge, so we’ll pick a few different boxes to examine.
| Box Set Name | Price | Qty of Minis | Value |
| Tomb Kings Starter Set | $290 | 92 | $200 |
| Bretonnians Starter | $255 | 76 | $160 |
| Cities of Sigmar Spearhead Box | $140 | 17 | $95 |
| Custodes Combat Patrol | $160 | 14 | $60 |
| Orcs & Goblins Battalion Box | $170 | 73 | $60 |
Well, as you can see, the values and number of models versus pricing are quite varied across game systems. That even seems to make Old World look like the better value overall between Warhammer 40k and AoS.
Orcs & Goblins Box Set Contents
- 31 Orc Boyz: $70/£47.50/€62.50 (the normal box comes with 40 models, but only 20 with this loadout)
- 40 Goblins: $80/£47.50/€62.50 (40 goblins come in a single box)
- Orc Boar Chariots: $80/£47.50/€62.50 ($50 each. They could sell these as one box, but they used to sell separately)
Total MSRP $230/£142.50/€187.50
Total savings versus $170/£100/€130 box price: $60/£42.50/€57.50
Is It Worth It & Review
If you need a bunch of infantry, then this is totally worth it! If you have a bunch of the older models, this is a lot of what those armies already had. However, the Orks & Goblins army box should always be great for someone new to the game. Even at the $170 price, this will save you a decent amount of cash.
Remember, while the Orcs & Goblins Army Battalion Box may not be for everyone, it is certainly a great starting point for those looking to build a new Warhammer The Old World army or expand their existing forces.
