All six of these battleforces are coming this December, so stay tuned to Warhammer Community for more details.

Battleforce a good starting point for Death Guard? Is the new Battleforce a good starting point for Death Guard?

Decorate your hearth with bolter, melta, and flamer, for this box has ‘em all and more. Along with a Sister Dogmata and a squad each of Battle Sisters and Celestian Sacresants, this force also includes two giant tanks that will definitely add a little spice to your holiday carnage.

Chaos Space Marines – Decimation Warband

The Knights box is a little more flexible and a pretty good buy, as the models are generic enough to want multiples. Battleforce: Thousand Sons – Court of The Crimson King Likewise, there is no longer an official Death Guard model. Instead, he does give you the opportunity to build an unique unit from the same bin of parts as the Chaos Lord. You’ll need to find something suitable cool for the force stave or axe. They’re traditional and you don’t want to minus to hit from a fist. Lord of War The main problem of terminators box is the same. They have one of each special weapon. So, think about plasma and melta details in advance. Sure, you can give bolters to them all, but in this codex you have a lot of anti-infantry tools, but few anti-tank solution. So, if you expect a lot of tough units, be sure to take enough meltas. If you are taking plasmas, it will be a good idea to give Blight launcher to one of the terminators – the purpose of this gun is the same, but it costs less. Don’t expect these guys to be good in close combat. They have nothing to do against good fighters. And also, now we can’t move them with Warptime after deepstrike. So, use them as plasma/melta drop. It would be nice to keep them alive longer, since they cost almost 300 points and you will regret in case of their early death. The definitive Lord of the Death Guard, Typhus comes with a variety of powers highlighting his power and lore. As the Herald of Nurgle, he may find his way into any Plague Company. However, only with the Harbingers will he carry a contagion. With his Vector of Disease adding 3 inches to their range you’ll want him to have that contagion. Likewise, the Master of the Dead Who Walk aura adds to the effectiveness of Poxwalkers and combines effectively with The Wrathful Dead company stratagem.

New 40k Christmas Battleforces Pre-Orders Revealed - Spikey Bits

Gotrek Gurnisson is so tough he survived the death of an entire world. Does that make him the best Slayer, or the worst? Regardless of your position on this, The Gotrek Gurnisson Collection rounds up all of Darius Hinks’ stories of Gotrek in the Mortal Realms in one lavish release, presented in a very fancy slipcase. There’s even a bonus, never-before-seen story included – The Crown of Karak-Khazar – making it a must for every Gotrek superfan. 12 Tales of Christmas eShorts Subscription The only currently available model, you’ll find the Malignant Plaguecaster in the Chosen of Mortarion set. Armed with a bolt pistol and corrupted staff, he’s much better in a fight than shooting. But you weren’t taking him for the shooting phase.Close combat loadout is an interesting choice since maces deal 3 damage and flails are perfect crowd killers. The problem is that it’s still quite expensive and wielded by single wound models. Half of them won’t even reach close combat. If you are playing against shooting army – don’t even think about it. But if your enemy doesn’t mind to fight hand to hand, you may add here your Plague Surgeon, Tallyman to grant re-rolls and a Plaguecaster to increase toughness, strength and a chance to wound the enemy. Such old school death star can destroy a lot of units. If it manages to come to close combat. The main thing – take 7 plague marines. You critically need 2 guys with maces, 2 with flails, and a sergeant. So, the other 2 can be sacrificed with no regret. There’s no use to take 10, since you need space for the characters. Unfortunately, there’s only one mace and flail in the set, so’ you’ll have to find extra ones somewhere else. Including a whole carnival of weird and wonderful technological enhancements, this immensely customisable box can be built in so many different ways that it would be almost impossible to list them all. Including some trusty Skitarii infantry led by a Tech-Priest Manipulus, there are four units with two build options each – Sicarians, Serberys cavalry, Ptreraxii jump infantry, and a choice of either an Ironstrider Ballistarius or a Sydonian Dragoon. The possibilities are endless. Ravenguard is just like the Imperial Fists, great for new players and not any big named models. Adeptus Mechanicus – Technoarcheologist For just a morsel of Gotrek action from the World-that-Was, Orcslayer by Nathan Long provides just that. After 20 years of exploring strange new lands, Gotrek and Felix return to the Old World, and an ancient path leads the pair to a dwarf prince who wants to reclaim his kingdom from hordes of Greenskins.
