The iconic Battle for Macragge box set returns as Games Workshop is bringing it back for their Christmas MTO new release offering!
Games Workshop has announced the re-release of the iconic Battle for Macragge box set as part of their Made to Order offering for Christmas. The set contains 35 plastic miniatures, including Space Marines, Genestealers, Spore Mines, and Termagants, as well as 17 pieces of terrain. The Made to Order release will be available for purchase from December 25th until January 2nd and may take up to 180 days to ship.
GW Brings Back The 40k Battle For Macragge Box Set One Last Time
Here are all the details from the Warhammer Community. This is a Made to Order release (MTO), so it has a unique release schedule. You have until the 2nd of January to claim a copy, and then it’ll take up to 180 days to get to you after that.
One minute it’s December 1st, and the very idea of Christmas seems like a distant dream… then you close your eyes, and it’s Christmas Eve. Nevertheless, tomorrow is Christmas Day, and next week is New Year’s Eve – which means no new pre-orders on the Warhammer webstore.
But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to look forward to! We’ve got online treats coming up every day for the next week – and a very special Made to Order that goes up on the big day tomorrow.
Battle for Macragge Boxset MTO Pre-Order from Christmas until January 2nd
Wrap yourself in a cosy blanket of nostalgia with this special Christmas Day Made to Order release, which recreates the classic Battle for Macragge from the boxed set that launched the fourth edition of Warhammer 40,000 – straight out of 2004. This set contains 35 plastic miniatures: the Imperial Pilot Lieutenant Varras, 10 Space Marines, six Genestalers, eight Spore Mines, and 10 Termagants. There are also 17 pieces of terrain – six objective markers, the wreckage of a crashed Imperial Lander, and six infestation nodes.
In retrospect, 2004 sure does seem a long time ago, but plenty of us can remember it clearly! Some of us even played with these minis when they came out! It’s always wild to see something like this come back and remind us how far the hobby has come.
This set will be available to order from 10am local time on Monday the 25th of December until 8am GMT on Tuesday the 2nd of January 2024. As a Made To Order product, this may take up to 180 days to ship.
This box was originally $50 in 2004, which is wild to picture now, so we assume there will be a significant increase this go around. The question is, by how much? Double? Triple?
Well, now we know. This post has been updated with the Battle for Macragge pricing. You can order yours for a cool $150 starting on Christmas Day direct from Games Workshop here.
It also came with a mini rulebook, but we doubt we’ll get one of those this time. 4th Edition Warhammer 40k is just a memory of a different game now for some.
