Looking for a Warhammer 40,000 ‘new edition, new army’ project? We’ve got you covered with four new battleforce boxes.
Astra Militarum Platoon
Artillery, armour, and infantry are the key pillars upon which the Astra Militarum is formed, and this new combined arms battleforce gives you all-stars from all three. Led by a Cadian Command Squad and a Commissar, this platoon consists of 10 Cadian Shock Troops, two Field Ordnance batteries, a Basilisk, and a powerful Rogal Dorn battle tank, along with five transfer sheets so you can add the final touches to your units.
Tyranid Swarm
Descend on a vulnerable galaxy and consume every last mote of biomass with the Tyranid Swarm, a balanced collection of workhorse units that form a perfect core for your Tyranid army. You get a stealthy contingent consisting of a Lictor and three Von Ryan’s Leapers, 10 Hormagaunts and 10 Termagants to form the bulk of your forces, and three elite Tyranid Warriors led by a Hive Tyrant (who can alternatively be built as the Swarmlord or a Hive Tyrant with Wings) to spearhead your swarm.
Chaos Space Marines Warband
If you don’t feel like consuming the galaxy, why not let it burn? The Chaos Space Marines Warband is a great way to begin your own dark crusade against the Corpse-Emperor, driven by the warp-infused strength of a Lord Discordant, two Obliterators, and a Venomcrawler. Objectives are secured by a mob of 20 Chaos Cultists and 10 Legionaries, who can alternatively be run as two squads of 10 Cultists and five Legionaries respectively.
Necron Host
Emerge from hidden tombs and banish the living from worlds that are rightfully yours with a powerful Necron Host – driven forward by the will of a Catacomb Command Barge. Annihilate your foes with the power of a Canoptek Doomstalker, three Ophydian Destroyers, and five Flayed Ones, while 20 soulless Necron Warriors and six skittering Scarab Swarms spread across the battlefield to enforce your new domain.
Each of the battleforce boxes is an excellent starting point for a new army project,* and saves you money compared to buying all of the contents separately. They will be available for pre-order soon, so make sure you download the new Chaos, Imperial, and xenos faction packs so you’re ready to conquer the galaxy in the new edition.
* Or as a way to add reinforcements to existing armies.
