The Warhammer Christmas Battleforces have been announced for both 40k and Age of Sigmar. Is the value good or are we just getting a box of excess stock.
We are going to base the information on the price of last year’s boxes, and by the looks of it, they’ll cost around the same this year. We’ll price everything in USD and Pounds Sterling to make things a little easier to track. We’ve had a few changes and clarifications around the Knights box specifically, but otherwise, these are as Games Workshop showed them off.
For more Warhammer news both 40k and AoS, check out our dedicated Warhammer section.
Warhammer Christmas Battleforces 2024
Update: Official corrections from GW on the Knights
“ In earlier version of this article stated that the Knight Questoris in this kit could be built as one of six variants and included Sir Hektur. We can confirm that the Knight Questoris can only be built as a Knight Paladin or a Knight Errant.”

All points are based on data from 8/10/24.
Adepta Sororitas
Cost of kits – £215/$350
Saving – £75/$120
Discount – 35%
Points in the box – 680
Points per pound/dollar – 3
Notes – Non-meta set, two Rhino tanks seems a missed chance
Necrons
Cost of kits – £208/$340
Saving – £70/$110
Discount – 33%
Points in the box – 720
Points per pound/dollar – 3
Notes – Overlap with combat patrol. Older Necron players probably don’t want Warriors
T’au Empire
Cost of kits -£210/$335
Saving -£70/ $105
Discount -33%
Points in the box – 500
Points per pound/dollar – 2.2
Notes – Cool box for people who maybe like T’au but don’t play. For those that do, it might be lacking in models and highlights the cost of T’au
Dark Angels
Cost of kits – £230/$375
Saving -£90/$145
Discount – 40%
Points in the box – 1025
Points per pound/dollar – 4.5
Notes – The standout of the collection. Some of the newest models of any of the boxes, a meta squad of models easily going to be one of the fastest selling models.
Imperial Knights
Cost of kits – £225/$370
Saving – £85/$140
Discount -38%
Points in the box – Shy of 1000 due to box limits mentioned below
Points per pound/dollar – 4
Notes – This box is not as good as first revealed. Sadly, you cannot make the Armigers as either variant or the Questoris as any variant. You can only build the Errant and Paladin, there are no extra weapon options, no Thunderstrike Gauntlet, and no Knight Pilot Mini.
Age of Sigmar Christmas Battleforces
AoS full breakdown coming soon.

When will we see the Christmas Battleforces?
We will likely get them in November as the rest of the GW release cycle slows down and GW look to get that sweet Q4 profits up.
