The end of the year means chunky Battleforces are back. These bundles are perfect for tipping a Spearhead into a real army.
Moreover, they make killer expansions for veterans who want fresh tools. Consequently, every box here brings a clear theme and playstyle. Let’s break down each one so you know exactly what you are getting.
Skryre Warpswarm
The Skaven are riding the Vermindoom wave and Clans Skryre are all about unsafe science. An Arch-Warlock takes charge while 20 Stormvermin guard the gizmos and bully objectives. Additionally, the kit leans hard into warped firepower: a Ratling Warpblaster for close shredding, three Warplock Jezzails for hero sniping, five Acolyte Globadiers for toxic board control, and a Warpspark Weapon Battery that can be set as Warpvolt Scourgers, Ratling Guns, or Warpfire Throwers. On the table you play keep away, trade screens with Stormvermin, then pivot to spike damage with whichever battery profile punishes your opponent most.
Lances of the Crimson Keep
Prince Vhordrai storms out from the phantasmal Crimson Keep on his Revenant Draconith, which already screams centerpiece. Furthermore, he brings 10 Blood Knights who excel at trading up on the charge and sticking around. Three Fell Bats trail the column to harass, chase stragglers, and threaten backline pieces. The lore hook matters in play: you want decisive charges, then a disengage to avoid getting ground down. Consequently, this box is speed, punch, and classic vampire cavalry swagger in one hit.
Dankhold Rampage
Troggs are back and they are bigger, slimier, and meaner. Trugg the Troggoth King anchors the pile with percussion powered buffs from the leystone on his back. Moreover, a Dankhold Troggboss joins six Rockgut Troggoths to throw rocks and fists with equal enthusiasm, while three Fellwater Troggoths vomit debuffs that soften targets before the smash. The Troggboss can alternatively be built as a plain Dankhold Troggoth if you want to keep Trugg as the sole boss. Consequently, this force rewards patient positioning, then overwhelming mid board brawls when the Bad Moon smiles.
Outcast Spitegrove
Drycha Hamadreth leads the Sylvaneth who were too spiteful for polite groves. She is supported by a Spirit of Durthu that can alternatively build as a Treelord or Treelord Ancient for list flexibility. Additionally, 15 Spite-Revenants bring the howl and chip pressure, while 20 Dryads flood lanes and hold cover. The Spite-Revenants can instead be built as Tree-Revenants if you prefer utility over raw menace. Therefore, you play denial in your woods, spike with alpha stings from Drycha or Durthu, and grind with bodies that are deceptively hard to shift.
These Battleforces bundle the contents at a better price than buying separately, and they are slated for pre orders later in the year. Moreover, each one is an easy bridge from Spearhead to matched play sized lists. In short, pick the flavor that fits your playstyle, plan your builds, and clear hobby time now, because all four boxes want to hit the table fast.
