Here’s the pricing and value breakdown for all seven of the new AoS Christmas 2022 Battleforces box sets from Games Workshop! If you want this box just go buy the annihilators and Stormdrake and something actually good with the leftover cash, instead. Sylvaneth function updateFadeIn(e){myx=parseFloat(getOpacity(e));if (bahShambles == 1){cancelFade++;if (cancelFade == 1){} else {if (myx <.9){if (cancelFade > 35){myx+=.02;showElement(e);setOpacity(e,myx);}setTimeout(function(){updateFadeIn(e);},25);} else {setOpacity(e,1);}}}} As for their potency, when you consider that the generic set of Grand Strategies in the new GHB are significantly more challenging to complete, these become quite compelling GS choices if you’ve built an army with say 5-6 heroes of 1 clan + Masterclan. There’s a ton of abilities in this book to help you keep your heroes alive, and that synergises well with what’s on offer here. Battle Tactics Or the Clans Moulder – with Prized Creations, you’ll be able to make your favourite Hell Pit Abomination even deadlier.

Now we end the list with the low point of the christmas battleforces. The Stromdrakes and Annihilators are both tempting, but there are much better options in the Stormcast range than the other models on this list. Despite the savings I’d give this one a miss, buy the decent units separately and spend the remaining money on more competitive models. 0;curtop-=scr.scrollTopTwo Behemoths that aren’t characters, first lets look at the much beloved but never seen Doomwheel. People love this model but it’s never been good on the table, it’s rules didn’t change, that 4D6″ of movement can be a real rough one. The damage just doesn’t really hash out, and it went up 20 points? I’m sorry folks who hoped to see this improved, it’s just not there yet. Thunderstrike Armour is the number-one fashion choice amongst the ranks of the Stormcast Eternals right now. This Battleforce contains 26 miniatures, all clad in dashing metal suits, including two mighty Stormdrake Guard on their draconith steeds.* Battleforce: Sylvaneth – Revenant Wargrove This set comes with 26 miniatures, including a vicious Wandering Werewolf to add extra danger to your games, as well as seven double-sided dungeon tiles, a trove of useful counters and tokens, and a Death Match rulebook wrapped up in a special copy of Spike! magazine. Spike! Presents: 2022 Almanac! Like the command traits, there are 3 artefacts for each clan, which is a lot so let’s just go through the hits. First, Masterclan with their Gnawshard can stab an enemy unit and deal 1 mortal at the end of every turn for the rest of the game. Get in a stab early and do incremental damage over time after running away.

White Dwarf issues 320 and 321 get added to the Warhammer Vault this week – perfect reading with a hot beverage. There’s a bit of a mix in here, whilst you get some great units like the Screaming Bell and Stormfiends. The Clanrats and Plague Monks are multitudinous, but they are also ancient kits! The sprues don’t even have part-number on. that’s how old they are. Christmas is coming. We’ve already seen this year’s new Warhammer 40,000 Battleforces, and it’s time to see what’s inside the Warhammer Age of Sigmar sets. Whichever Grand Alliance you’re a fan of, there’s a box for you. Daughters of Khaine: Khainite Slaughter-Coven Finally, it’s not Christmas without the golden-clad warriors of the God-King! Start your own Dawnbringer Crusade with a Knight-Relictor , three heavily armed Annihilators , 10 Vanquishers , and 10 Vigilors armed with stormcaller bows. Finally, there’s a pair of swift and deadly Stormdrake Guards (one of which can alternately be built as a Knight-Draconis ). Despite the name, this actually is more useful when your leader gets caught out in front. You essentially gain Look Out, Sir! in melee, taking -1 to hit in melee when you’re within 3″ of a friendly unit with 3 or more models. Scurry Away

To see just four battle tactics here and for all of them to be hyper specific is a little odd in light of the generic options in GHB 2022 becoming more challenging, but this is perhaps an indicator of a trend going forward. Skaven – Plague Monks Overall, Skaven in Warhammer Age of Sigmar are a complex force to play, with many moving parts and variables to consider, such as keeping your unit sizes up, and your troops alive long enough to get into battle and do some damage. The releases, like every release, will go live at 10:00 am on the Saturday at both GW.com and your favourite online retailers.

One wise word of warning to you would be woodlands warriors, don’t let the eye-popping value cause you to miss the forest for the trees. Treelords seem to be in literally every box for Sylvaneth and it is difficult to imagine anyone needing more than seven kits in a lifetime. This box uses two of your kits and without the value they provide it becomes more of an average box. This is the third box released just this year with at least a treelord in it and GW shows no signs of stopping. Drycha is out of favor competitively but is a wonderful centerpiece model. Tree-Revenants/Spite-Revenants both have roles in the current book and are nice models, if difficult to put together for first-time hobbyists. Dryads are old kits that make one ask where sculpting ends and moldlines begin. if(location.protocol==="https:"){t=t.replace("http:","https:");} else {t=t.replace("https:","http:");} It;s not like this would make GW more money, these boxes will sell out no matter how they do it. Warhammer AoS 2022 Battleforce Boxes – Price & Savings Kavzar was a rare thing in the world of Warhammer: it was a near-utopia. Man and dwarf lived in harmony for many years until they decided to raise a colossal temple of thanks to their gods. Unfortunately, their ambition outstripped their abilities, leaving the structure’s giant spire unfinished. One day, a stranger appeared and promised to finish the temple in a single night – with one condition: that he be allowed to hang a horned bell from the top. The citizens of Kavzar agreed and went to sleep for the night. The next day, to their amazement, the temple was complete. The stranger, however, was nowhere to be seen.

This Daughters of Khaine battleforce is literally a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a bit of everything going on, which is either a good think of bad thing depending on what you’re looking for. The value of this one is going to be in the eye of the beholder. Planning a DoK specialist army? probably not for you. Prefer a generalist force? This could well be the foundation you’re after.

That’s Nothing to sniff at! it’s a solid saving. Clan Eshin has the Night Runners and Gutter Runners. Night runners are pretty garbage, worse save, 2D6″ alpha deployment when Gutter Runners have a deep strike from a terrain feature. The only thing saving Night Runners is they’re 10 models instead of 5. Take Night Runners to hold a point while Gutter Runners can actually take a few things out with their throwing stars.
