Well, it’s that time of year, yep Gamesworkshop has released their Christmas Battleforces. This year futures the normal mixture of Space marines, Necrons, Astra Militarum, Chaos Space Marines, Tau, and Tyranids. Doubtless, there will be saving involved, but how much?
As of this moment, there has been no price release on any of the Battleforce boxsets but in 2019 they ranged from £100 - £120 so bear this in mind as we break down the contents of these boxsets.
