About this deal

Also, it’s interesting to note that Necrons in 2020 and Orks in 2021 were actually probably the newest released factions to grab a box (even though it had been months since their new codex dropped at that point). In the meantime, check out the new Da Red Gobbo t-shirts and hoodie , so you’re ready for the Christmas revolushun! Obviously, they’re meant to go on fans’ Christmas lists – so we can guess they’ll be available soon. The Gloomspite Gitz get a Battleforce – they got one in 2020 too, so it seems someone at GW is a Gitz player – and so do the Kruleboyz. However at 930 points and nearly one third savings, it’s a lot of new sculpts and generally really good fun, so I love it.

This Battleforce contains 26 miniatures, all clad in dashing metal suits, including two mightyStormdrake Guard on their draconith steeds. The reason for this is the aforementioned familiarity in the design of the models – that source of such ire for some – and those models included in this box (a Lord-Celestant on Dracoth, a Lord-Relictor, three Prosecutors, three Retributors, and 10 Liberators, including two Liberator-Primes) take full advantage of this, as we shall see. This warband was first available in Warcry: Heart of Ghur and comprises 10 miniatures, including Ruinators, Demolishers – one of whom is armed with the deadly Flamehurler – and Shatterers. We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and exchanges, advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels and cookies, in addition to technology offered by third parties such as Facebook pixel's custom audience feature. I play against a very good DoK player regularly and he has won various games because of every units in this box.You’ll also find quests for both warbands and two campaign arcs, including one for four to six players. Once they are conquered, hammers in hands and glowering out from beneath their helmets, the Prosecutors await. You get two gnarloaks, a watchtower made out of a megadroth skull, rope bridges, a range of obstacles, and a double-sided gaming board. From the spectres of Death to the guardians of Life, the Revenant Wargrove box includes a whole army of very angry Christmas trees. The Stromdrakes and Annihilators are both tempting, but there are much better options in the Stormcast range than the other models on this list.

This stalwart band of warriors are capable of taking on much larger forces, each of them more than a match for several times their number in lesser soldiers. With Heroes, an elite Battleline, and both mobile and heavy support, this Battleforce boxed set is an ideal way to start a full Stormcast Eternals army, or add to an existing collection with models clad in Thunderstrike armour. The good news is the Battletome is so massive you’ll be able to build pretty much whatever army you want. We mainly cover Warhammer 40k, Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Warmachine, Hordes, X-Wing, Infinity, Horus Heresy, and Star Wars Armada.With the recent Slaves to Darkness army set, there’s a hefty stack of Chaos Chosen and Ogroid Theridons to be painted, so this week’s Citadel Colour Masterclass is here to help with a tutorial for their dark metal armour. As a Nighthaunt player myself I personally don’t need anything in this box because I have everything here already — but if I was looking to start a new army this battleforce would certainly have me on my way and I’d be excited about it. For A ge of Sigmar, there are new factions up for grabs this year, as Nighthaunt and Sylvaneth are actually fairly new for 2022. When it comes to painting, there is nothing better to start with than a Liberator: easy shapes, few colours, familiar textures, and just enough details on the shields and shoulderpads to begin honing those finer painting skills.

All other items such as books, cards, tokens, boards, maps, etc are always brand new in mint condition. You can take one look at this box and know exactly what you’re supposed to do and that involves SQUIGS. And yet this model-to-model similarity, whilst frustrating for middling or advanced painters looking to further develop their skills, is a quietly brilliant feature of the Stormcast Eternals, and one that is so excellently realised in the Thunderstrike Brotherhood box. The fundamental design – that Liberator in his gold armour – forms the basis for every other model in the Stormcast Eternal range. So expect more on these very soon, and get ready to save those hobby dollars for what is normally the first week of December release date!So a lot depends on the RRP of each Battleforce but there’s likely to be some good deals in there – especially if it’s your army or you’re looking for something new to play with in 2023. We and our partners use data for Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development. The Great Horned Rat has smiled on his followers this holiday season, with a box that’s not only the second best for savings, but its a really solid start to a Skaven army (or strong choice to expand an existing force). However, after seeing your point and cost rundown of each, I may also use this as an excuse to launch into Gloomspite Gitz! Learn more about the Horns of Hashut and the Rotmire Creed with this 64-page warband tome containing all the background information and rules for both warbands – and for the Gnarlwood itself.

Does anyone else have a random selection of one-off minis from factions that you’ve been tempted to do? It’s on the lower end of the savings in the AoS battleforce breakdown, and clocks in at the lowest total points value as well. With the Dryads and Revenants as your battleline you just need to spend your savings on some Kurnoth units and you’ll round out a solid army. These are a fantastic way to get into a new army or even add to an existing one, but whats inside them and how many points of miniatures do you get? If you’ve already started writing your Christmas list, make sure you let your friends, family, and patron Chaos deity know which of these boxes you’d like to see under the tree on the big day.

Another cool set with a big feature piece model giving a nice selection of different models from the Nighthaunt range. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
