Battleforce boxes are back after their successes since 2020. These are a fantastic way to get into a new army or even add to an existing one, but what’s inside them and what is the saving?
Well Warhammer Community have announced that they are coming back for 2025!
(If you’re looking for the 2025 – Warhammer 40k – it is here!)
Prices in 2024 were around £150 each so with the October price rise, I expect these to be £160 each (update! £155 each). In the meantime I thought our readers would like to know the value of the toys… so see below against each box:
| Battleforce Boxset | Cost | RRP |
| Skaven – Skryre Warpswarm | £231.00 | £160.00 (Est) |
| Soulblight Gravelords – Lances of the Crimson Keep | £245.00 | £160.00 (Est) |
| Gloomspite Gitz – Dankhold Rampage | £229.50 | £160.00 (Est) |
| Slyvaneth – Outcast Spitegrove | £231.50 | £160.00 (Est) |
There’s good consistent value in each box, with Vordhai pusing the Soulblight Gravelords to the top of the pack. In fact Age of Sigmar is consistently better value than the 40k Battleforces based on RRP.
There’s a lot of big characters in here (except the Skaven), suggesting the boxes are aimed more at the ‘new army’ crowd… that said the Skaven one looks like a great expansion for Skaventide released last year.
It is a surprise to see no Stormcast here either, given they were in the box in 2024, but they have done one box per Grand Alliance so I guess that’s fair!
These are best ordered from your FLGS especially if they can get them in, and make a few pounds, dollars, euros from them in the expensive Christmas period.
