Seven new Warhammer 40k battleforce boxes are here for 2025, including Tyranids, Chaos Marines, T’au, and Space Marines. Don’t miss the 40k Christmas Boxes lineup.
Updated October 10th, 2025, by Rob Baer with new Battleforce box contents after the GW reveal.
It’s that magical time of year when the Games Workshop’s big 40k Christmas boxes and, to a lesser degree, a few for Age of Sigmar are revealed!
If history is anything to go by, these new battleforce boxes for 40k are loaded with value. So, what’s lurking under the hobby tree this year?
Let’s break down the latest on the new 2025 Warhammer 40k battleforce boxes!
Warhammer 40k Christmas Boxes 2025
GW revealed there are seven new Christmas boxes for Warhammer 40k: Tyranids, Chaos, Space Marines, Tau, Astra Militarum- Death Korps of Krieg, Leagues of Votann, and Emperor’s Children.
The Christmas boxes release date is still TBD, but it will probably be on Black Friday, November 28th, 2025, like last year. Similarly, we estimate the new 40k battleforces retail price at $240 CAD$290 €190.00 £157.50.
Tyranid Battleforce: Christmas 2025
The Tyranid Christmas box is going to be big. Literally, we’re getting a monster-heavy swarm set that leans into the faction’s love of bio-engineered nightmares.
Tyranids 40k Battleforce Contents:
- 1x Screamer-Killer
- 1x Haruspex
- 1x Tyrannofex
- 1x Maleceptor
- 1x Neurotyrant
- Savings vs retail price $121
Chaos Space Marines Battleforce
Nothing says 40k Christmas boxes like heresy, and the Chaos Space Marine battleforce is a brutal stocking stuffer. Obliterators are back on the menu, joined by a Venomcrawler, Havoc Squad, Rhino, and Legionnaires.
Chaos Space Marine Christmas Box Contents:
- Lord Discordant
- Chaos Rhino
- Venomcrawler
- 2x Obliterators
- 10x Legionnaires
- 5x Havocs
- Savings vs retail price $114
T’au Empire Battleforce
The Tau Christmas box for 2025 is themed around Commander Farsight, similar to the Retaliation Cadre one from years past.
With his shiny new model making waves a couple of years ago, it only makes sense to spotlight the renegade hero in a Christmas battleforce, especially considering it seems Tau gets one most years (but not 2023).
Tau Christmas Box Battleforce Contents:
- 1x Commander Farsight
- 1x XV88 Broadside Battlesuit
- 3x VX8 Crisis Battlesuit Team
- 1x XV104 Riptide Battlesuit
- 8x Drones (these are not extras, just the drones you get in the kits above)
- Savings vs retail price $105
Space Marines Battleforce: 40k Christmas Boxes 2025
Space Marines are receiving a lot of attention as the year comes to a close. Originally, there was talk of a Terminator-themed box, but that ended up being the Crux Terminatus battleforce, and not this new Space Marine Christmas box.
Either way, the Space Marines will be getting two Battleforces back-to-back from the looks of it.
Space Marines Battleforce Contents:
- 1x Captain
- 5x Company Heroes Squad
- 5x Sternguard Veterans
- 5x Hellblasters
- 1x Ballistus Dreadnought
- 1x Redemptor Dreadnought
- 1x Set of new Space Marine heads (from the new upgrade sprue)
- Savings vs retail price $156
2024’s Dark Angels Inner Circle Task Force was the hot box. Will it be the Space Marines Christmas box again this year, taking the #1 spot?
Emperor’s Children Battleforce
This was one of the 40k Christmas boxes that had a lot of speculation behind it.
Sure, an Emperor’s Children Christmas box was perhaps a little ambitious, but the Emperor’s Children Battleforce is real and will feature Fulgrim, Flawless Blades, and Noise Marines.
While the box doesn’t have a lot of minis inside, each squad packs a serious punch, and you get a Primarch, which is always awesome.
Emperor’s Children Battleforce Contents:
- 1x Fulgrim Transfigured
- 6x Flawless Blades
- 6x Noise Marines
- Savings vs retail price $124
Leagues of Votann Battleforce: Christmas 2025
The Leagues of Votann Christmas box focuses on the Cthonian side of things with Earthshakers, Beserks, and an Iron Master! It doesn’t have a ton of the new minis, but a few are included.
These 40k Christmas boxes are pretty different from any bundles they have had before, which is nice for players who have been grinding their collection since the initial Votann launch.
Leagues of Votann Battleforce Contents:
- 10x Cthonian Beserks
- 1x Brôkhyr Iron-master (5 models in total with attendants)
- 2x Cthonian Earthshakers
- 1x Kapricus Defender/Carrier
- 3x Brôkhyr Thunderkyn
- Savings vs retail price $129
Astra Militarum Death Korps of Krieg Battleforce
The Death Korps of Krieg Christmas box is here! If you’ve been wanting a lot of infantry with a few artillery pieces thrown in, this is the box to grab.
Death Korps of Krieg Battleforce Contents:
- 1x Lord Commissar
- 5x Death Korps of Krieg Command Squad
- 20x Death Korps of Krieg Infantry
- 5x Death Korps of Krieg Combat Engineers
- 2x Death Korps of Krieg Artillery Teams
- Savings vs retail price $92
Final Thoughts From Us: 40k Christmas Boxes Pre-Orders
Most of the rumors were true, and now we’re looking at a solid lineup of 40k Christmas boxes for Tyranids, Chaos Space Marines, T’au, Space Marines, Leagues of Votann, Emperor’s Children, and Death Korps of Krieg.
That’s a mix of swarm armies, power armor classics, and alien tech all wrapped up in the usual shiny packaging (but no Knights Battleforces this time around) for just a little bit more than your normal Combat Patrol.
Just remember, these Christmas Boxes are almost always heavily allocated. If you see a Christmas Battleforce you like, get ready to buy quickly!
Besides that, it’s a win-win as new 40k players get easy access to cohesive forces, and veteran collectors get extra kits without the usual price sting.
