Don’t miss all the new values on the six Warhammer 40k holiday Battleforces that Games Workshop previewed for the Christmas sales season.
If you were wanting to give your army a boost or start off on the right foot with a brand new force, these 40k Battleforces are probably the way to go.
Looking at the Battleforces previewed from Warhammer Community, we actually got an early heads up that these were coming in the recent wave of holiday release rumors. We’ll be using the prices on the product sheet we saw earlier which have since been basically confirmed with these latest previews.
Rumors of Battleforces December Product Pricing
Coming from @wagamingdave, it looks like some sort of pricing has been revealed for what’s ahead. The battleforces look to have been confirmed on this list. However, the pricing is a different story although $185 is around the price of last year’s battleforce wave.
Look for them to be released on December 7th, 2019.
Blood Angels Crimson Spear Strike Force $185
- 10-man Primaris Intercessors $60
- 5-man Death Company $35
- Sanguinary Guard $40
- Baal Predator $60
- Chaplain With Jump Pack $33
- Terminator Captain $33
This box is coming with quite a few squads. But with 8th edition rules, the Sanguinary Ancient is a separate character from the normal Sanguinary Guard unit. You’re actually getting three characters and a single 4-man squad of Sanguinary Guard now (if you build them that way).
Total MSRP: $261
Total Savings $76
Tyranids Bioswarm $185
- Carnifex Brood $90
- Hive Tyrant $60
- 12-man Termagant Brood $35

- Havoc Squad $55
- Chaos Rhino $40
- Terminator Lord $30
Total MSRP: $245
Total Value: $75
Assuming these prices of Battleforces were correct, we’ve seen a corresponding scale of savings for price. The highest savings came from the Tyranid Battleforce with the Drukhari Box just behind. Overall, these are all fairly popular armies in 40k and come with a decent chunk of units to get somebody started off on the right foot. Each one of these boxes allows the player to make a Patrol Detachment at the very least. However, some are closer to filling out Battalions (like the Blood Angels Box) than others.
With these values covered, which box will you be picking up? Will you be starting a new faction or just adding on to your already-existing collection?
