The (almost confirmed) rumour is that a BA battleforce is being released with the Dread and Stormraven, containing 1 Death Company, 1 Tactical Squad, 1 Assault Squad and a Rhino. My regional contact at GW (I'm the manager of a small LGS) have promised full details on the 19th regarding the new BA release wave.

Sweet. Please find out when the preorders are going up as well.

Hmm.. DC and RAS would be good. While Tactical squad is not that necessary IMHO. But If the models in the Battleforce all have BA markings (like the current DC) I'm definitely buying it.

 

Well GW does have arule that there must be 1 useless unit in a battleforce... so the tac squad kinda makes sense.

 

not htat you can't turn them into assault squads easy enough...

 

and i'd actualy field it as is, i like my tach squads:)

 

(no it won't all have BA spacific stuff, it's the same tac and assault squads that you can buy now)

Confirmed contents of the battleforce is:

 

- 1 standard Tactical Squad (no fancy upgrade or extra sprues)

- 1 standard Death Company kit

- 1 standard Assault Squad (no fancy upgrade or extra sprues)

- 1 Rhino (no fancy upgrade or extra sprues)

 

Price is standard battleforce price. The Stormraven will share a price code with the Imperial Guard Valkyrie, and the Furioso will share a price code with the plastic Venerable Dreadnought, should give you a rough estimate on what to budget.

 

Pre-orders are available from January 25th, official street release is February 5th.

 

Hope this helps :)

:)  I just don't need it then. A shame. I thought we'll get the box like SW did.

Yeah, I saw the contents in the Blood Angel sample army just now. Right at the bottom it says

 

Two Blood Angels Battleforces form the basis of this army, providing two full Tactical Squads and their Rhino transports, ten Assault Marines and a large squad of the Death Company

 

:D True, it doesnt say anything else but im not so sure to expect any more, The Space Wolves get 26 models, 1 drop pod (Rhino...) 10 grey hunters, 10 blood claws and 5 scouts. Okay, we might get 10 death company (doubtful...) or something else to take the place of 5 blood claws but it wont be anything similar to a Dreadnought or StormRaven. CSM's get 28 models and a rhino so...

It is already in the pre-order.

 

And it's bloody expensive! :wallbash:

Brits do save £22.50 (unless my maths is really bad) over buying each squad seperately so it's not too bad. But yes I miss the days when battleforces were £40 -.-

Only in UK and US one can save £

In Australia for example it's $165 or about £104!!

Maelstrom have listed it as £15.75, seems a bargain to me! :P

 

Sanity has returned, very quickly, and the regular price in place. Shame as I had one in my basket.

 

edit ii: strange that the euro price of 80€ is the same as the regular SM BF (SpaceMarine BattleForce), where as in sterling there's been an increase. Poor form me thinks. I feel first time buyers are still better off buying the SM BF, and adding the Death Company set. At full retail, £71.75, this is only £11.75 over the new Angel's BF.
