t’s that time of year again when Warhammer fans rejoice—Battleforces are back, and they’re packing enough miniatures to make your hobby knife quiver. Whether you’re a seasoned painter or a newbie looking to dive into the plastic crack addiction, these sets bring insane value and jaw-dropping armies to the table. Let’s break it down, box by glorious box, with a bit of gamer flair.
A Commemorative Snack-Sized Miniature
- Provisionally Prepared: Ever wondered what happens when Ratling snipers prioritize sausage over survival? This hilarious seasonal mini gives us a sniper team mid-meal with a side of incoming doom. It’s equal parts deadly and comedic, making it a collector’s must-have. Pro tip: snag it early—it’s bound to disappear faster than, well, a sausage at a Ratling’s picnic.
Warhammer 40,000 Battleforces
- Adepta Sororitas: Penitent Crusade Host
Calling all fans of the Emperor’s holy wrath! This box has everything you need to purge heretics in style: Penitent Engines (mechanized war-guilt in action), Sisters Repentia with chainswords of redemption, and Arco-Flagellants bringing raw, unhinged melee mayhem. Plus, two Rhinos let you scream “Drive me closer; I want to hit them with my sword!” Perfect for those who love a narrative-heavy, sin-cleansing playstyle.
- Imperial Knights: Valourstrike Lance
Got a taste for stompy death machines? This set is basically a royal cavalry charge—if cavalry were towering mechs armed to the teeth. The Knight Paladin/Errant is the centerpiece, while the Armigers offer customization galore. Whether you prefer autocannons or massive chain-cleavers, this box screams rule of cool. Also, 647 decals. Yep, 647 ways to personalize your knightly legacy.
- Necrons: Hypercrypt Legion
If you like ancient, indestructible robots backed by godlike energy, the Hypercrypt Legion is calling your name. Featuring the Void Dragon (who just casually bends reality), an Overlord, and an army of Praetorians and Warriors, this force embodies relentless efficiency. Play them if you enjoy watching your enemies futilely attempt to scratch your paint job while you erase them.
- T’au Empire: Retaliation Cadre
Battlesuits for days. This set is pure T’au at its best: high-tech armor, sleek designs, and a ton of firepower. With a Commander, Riptide, Ghostkeel, and Broadside (all with accompanying drones), this is a mech-lover’s dream. It’s fast, shooty, and perfect for spreading the Greater Good one burst cannon at a time.
- Dark Angels: Inner Circle Task Force
If you’re a fan of gothic drama and secrets (who isn’t?), the Dark Angels’ Inner Circle is your jam. This elite force features Deathwing Knights, a Chaplain in Terminator armor, and loyal Watchers in the Dark. Play them to defend the honor of the First Legion—or just because you like stomping around in indomitable Terminator armor.
Age of Sigmar Battleforces
- Ironjawz: Wrekkamob
Subtlety is for suckers. Ironjawz bring raw brutality to the Mortal Realms with a horde of Weirdbrute Wrekkaz, 20 Ardboyz, and a colossal Tuskboss on Maw-grunta. If you love the idea of smashing enemies into pulp and yelling “WAAAGH!” at the top of your lungs, this box is for you.
- Flesh-Eater Courts: Charnelgrand Jury
Think cannibals, but classy. This “jury” of deluded monsters includes a terrifying leader, Grand Justice Gormayne, and a mix of Knights, Crypt Horrors, and Cryptguard. They see themselves as noble defenders of their realm—until the blood-soaked frenzy kicks in. Perfect for fans of creepy gothic themes with a dash of horror.
- Cities of Sigmar: Founding Foray
Marching out to reclaim lost lands for Sigmar, this gritty expedition mixes Freeguild infantry, a massive Ogor war-machine, and an Ironweld Great Cannon for fiery backup. It’s all about tactical grit and old-school gunpowder glory. This box is great if you love underdogs with big dreams (and even bigger cannons).
- Maggotkin of Nurgle: Shudderblight Cyst
Get your hands dirty—literally. This set oozes Nurgle’s trademark mix of disease, rot, and cheerful despair. With a Harbinger of Decay leading Putrid Blightkings and Pusgoyle Blightlords, you’ll spread Grandfather Nurgle’s “gifts” across the battlefield. Ideal for fans who like their armies grotesque and resilient.
