skeletoro Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 So I had seen rumours we'd get a new strike/battleforce released after the codex. Have we heard anything more about that recently?

Toasterfree Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 they said that every 6 months will be a different box like sanctus reach. doubt we see something else like that for the wolves. on top of that they dont have anything listed for the orks that i saw on a quick blow through Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294940-so-what-happened-to-the-rumoured-strike-force/#findComment-3773238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Wasn't there specific mention of Ragnar and his GC in the Sanctus Reach little brochure thing? Seems to hint at another Wolves release sooner rather then later to capitalize on the hype train Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294940-so-what-happened-to-the-rumoured-strike-force/#findComment-3773248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
viddar Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 GK are on the next WD cover, not sure when a strike force would be released. Wouldn't shock me if its closer to the holidays.

marvmoogy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 When the DA's got the new dex, the Battleforce was taken off sale and re-released a month or two after the dex came out. Bear in mind though, this was in the days of monthly White Dwarf and monthly releases. I think the Eldar battleforce was the same story if memory serves (did GW chance the Dire Avengers sprues...?) So, if that logic carries through, we'll be due a new battleforce box. HOWEVER!! I'm not sure what would actually change from it... The old box got 20 wolves a drop pod and 5 scouts...which is a pretty good balanced force.... But what about costs? For the interests of a fair comparison, I have worked this out using GW RRP prices. DARK ANGLES Battleforce = £70 Cost of 2x Ravenwing bike squads, attackbike and a land speeder = £86. This DOES NOT include the upgrade frame which is included in the box... BLOOD ANGELS Battleforce = £70 Cost of tactical squad, assault squad, rhino, death company squad = £88.50 SPACE WOLVES Battleforce = £65 (if memory serves - it isn't on the website any more) Cost of 2x wolf packs, scout squad and a drop pod = £84 So, the average separate retail cost of a battle force = £86.16 using these 3 examples. And, using these three examples....the most expensive retail priced unit included is the Ravenwing bike squad at £25.5. So, using this as a guide, we can assume that, if they do release a new battleforce, then: The retail value will be circa £85. It won't include any units that cost more than circa £25. The force will roughly add up to about 400 points (i didn't include this in my analysis as I don't have codex's to hand). Now for a caveat. Whilst the above adds up using GW's traditional marketing and sales strategies, with huge amount of changes we have seen in the last 6-10 months (bigger box sets, more frequent 'specials', more frequent releases etc), we could just see an army box (like the ultramarines 1st company box) or we could see nothing. Time to read the rumour mills!
