GW: Battleforce Boxen für 40k und AoS

Mit insgesamt zehn Battleforce Boxen geht Games Workshop dieses Jahr in die Wintersaison, sechs Boxen führen uns in die vom Krieg zerüttete Zukunft von Warhammer 40.000 und vier führen in die Reiche der Sterblichen von Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Warhammer 40,000 Battleforces – Six Awesome Boxed Sets to Kickstart Your Winter Season

The festive season always brings some extra-special goodies in the form of annual Warhammer 40,000 army  boxes. These amazing boxed sets are packed to the brim with miniatures, and make a brilliant way to start a new project or reinforce your favourite faction.

And it’s that time of year again.

Defenders of the Ancestors

The Leagues of Votann place the defence of their Ancestor Cores as the highest priority, and nothing but their biggest guns will do when enemies come knocking. A rock-hard core of 10 Einhyr Hearthguard are led by an Einhyr Champion as they bundle into a heavily-armed Hekaton Land Fortress, backed up by the wisdom of a Grimnyr living ancestor while a Sagitaur ATV provides mobile fire support.

Beast Snagga Stampede

As snow begins to fall and friends gather to exchange gifts, who better to loot an enticing bounty of presents than the Beast Snaggas? These green-hued big game hunters are ready to scrap, led by legendary everything-killer Mozrog Skragbad – who can be built as a standard Beastboss on Squigosaur, if you prefer – at the head of three Squighog Boyz and a Nob on Smasha Squig. They’re joined by a Painboss medic and a mob of 10 Beast Snagga Boyz, who mount up in a psyker-strapped Kill Rig – which can alternatively be built as a Hunta Rig and a psychic Wurrboy on foot – to keep up with the cavalry for a jolly old winter punch-up.

Cadian Defence Force

Guardsmen with lasguns, big rumbling tanks… is there any more an Astra Militarum fan could want? The Cadian Defence Force is a classic assemblage of humanity’s might, pairing 20 Cadian Shock Troops and a five-model Cadian Command Squad with two mighty Rogal Dorn battle tanks, presenting an immovable wall of firepower. It’s enough to make the most ambitious Black Crusader think twice.

Space Marines Spearhead Force

The fastest fighters amongst the new Space Marine releases have wasted no time in forming a Spearhead Force. This boxed set is bursting with 15 of the new Jump Pack Intercessors, led by a Captain with Jump Pack. Such speed needs exceptionally mobile fire support to back it up, so the box also includes a squad of three Outriders and an Invader ATV to add firepower to their overwhelming assault.

Onslaught Swarm

Bury your foes in a relentless tide of claws with the Onslaught Swarm, one of the most terrifying assemblages of Tyranid monstrosities ever stuffed into a box. A massive Norn Emissary joins up with a Winged Hive Tyrant – which can also be built as a ground bound Hive Tyrant or Swarmlord – to lead a tide of 20 leaping, scything Hormagaunts and 10 ravening Genestealers, with a pair of Ripper Swarms to boot.

Exalted of the Red Angel

Da Red Gobbo will soon be packing up his squig-sleigh to fly across the sky bringing presents to all, and what better gift could you ask for than a mountain of skulls and eviscerated corpses? Angron, Daemon Primarch of Khorne, is getting into spirit of things by packing up his most devoted warriors – 10 Khorne Berzerkers and six Exalted Eightbound, who can alternatively be built as Eightbound – for a worldwide stampede of bloodsoaked mayhem. Don’t forget to leave out the milk and biscuits!

Make sure to hang up an extra-large stocking this year so the Red Gobbo knows just how many of these incredible boxes to stuff down your chimney. They are a great way to add more units to your existing force, and make for quality gifts the Warhammer fan in your life will never forget.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar Battleforces – Four Incredible Boxed Sets for the Festive Season

Once again, it is time to reveal the big army boxes for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. A yearly tradition, these hefty boxes are a fantastic way of kicking off a new collection or adding to your pile of potential.

Let’s waste no time in checking out the contents of these four brilliant boxes.

Primordial Starhost

Unleash a landside of lizards with the Primordial Starhost. Led by a Slann Starmaster who ensures that these cold-blooded servants enact the Great Plan, this force is a mix of hard-hitting units and nimble skinks, with a block of 10 Saurus Warriors flanked by three Kroxigor – who can also be built as Kroxigor Warspawned – and three Aggradon Lancers. They’re supported by the Hunters of Huanchi, a warband of chameleon skinks that pepper foes with poison darts and send terrawings to claw and peck.

Praetorian Spearhead

The Ossiarch Bonereapers are a legion of relentless soul-constructs, charged with collecting the Tithe of Bones for their lord Nagash. The Praetorian Spearhead falls under the command of Arch-Kavalos Zandtos – or a standard Liege-Kavalos, if you’d rather build him that way – whose hatred of the living inspires those around him. He is supported by five Kavalos Deathriders, 20 Mortek Guard, a lumbering Gothizzar Harvester, and four Morghast Archai – who can alternatively be built as Morghast Harbingers.

Warhorde of Eternus

Archaon rules the endless legions of the Slaves to Darkness with a helwrought metal fist, but Be’lakor has long been working to undermine him. Eternus, Blade of the First Prince, is his prime mortal agent, leading three Ogroid Theridons, five Chaos Knights, five Chaos Chosen and 10 Chaos Warriors. But there’s a twist – build Eternus as a Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount and you’ve got a force loyal to Archaon. Or have you? We’ve lost track of who works for who.

Vengorian Court

Few creatures in the Mortal Realms feed with such gory abandon as the monstrous Vengorian Lords. These bestial vampires may have discarded their noble facade, but they are still capable commanders who can control entire legions of the undead. The Vengorian Court contains a contingent of five Blood Knights, 20 Deathrattle Skeletons, 10 Dire Wolves, and three Fell Bats, and a Vengorian Lord – who can also be built as the legendarily fearsome Lauka Vai, Mother of Nightmares.
