Christmas box wishlisting

[macradam_hue]

As a retail manager, my head has already pretty much got to Christmas - and today it got me day dreaming about what the Christmas battleforce box might bring us this year. We all know there WILL be a marine box - so what do we think? Seems like they still want to shift Phobos units so similar to last years? Or is there a chance we may see some newer units? Any wild guesses/speculation?

Wild guess: no Christmas boxes. Supply chain issues will make them impossible to ship.

I reckon we may get a few but no where near the amount we had a few years ago. Maybe around 4-5 for 40k.

This is the likely reality

[Dark Shepherd]

Theyve known about supply chain issues for a while and these wouldve been planned for a while. Everyone in UK knows to order early too

 

They know to ship them early and theres no card or rules getting printed in China.

 

Maybe less of a range but theyll still do them IMO

The Christmas boxes were extremely limited last year. They almost seemed pointless. I'm not sure it will be any better this year. The SM box sold out in a couple of hours IIRC.

 

Edit: As this thread is about wish listing and my negativity isn't adding to anything.

 

I want to see:

 

Chaplain on bike

Primaris Lieutenant

10 assault Marines

3 eliminators

1 stormspeeder

You have far too much faith in humanity. I have completed all my Xmas shopping, and I guarantee the UK news will be all about Xmas ruined in December, hyping up the carnage.

[WrathOfTheLion]

A Dark Angel Deathwing or Ravenwing (or both?) box would be really cool. Been SW, BA recently.

[Guest Triszin]

If there are boxes.

 

Gravis

3x heavy int

1x hammer fall

2x aggressors

1x heavy int he

[Cleon]

Personally as long as it has no intercessors and an iIvictor or Impulsor/gladiator I'll probably give it a look.

 

I don't see any of the newest stuff (Heavy ints, Bladeguard, Eliminators), but maybe the Outriders as that adds a lot of 'saving' to the box.

[Mandragola]

Stuff I don't already have so:

 

Heavy intercessors, maybe with their captain as the boss  

Gladiator

Storm Speeder

Reivers with a KT-style upgrade sprue featuring actual weapons.

You might be being generous with December :)

[General Strike]

I want gravis, we will get phobos again.

[Tokugawa]

I'd rather talking about "what you don't want to see in the battleforce box". GW won't miss this good chance to insert some kits which expensive and don't sell well.

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

I’d like a pure gravis box

Gravis capatain

HIs

Aggressors or inceptors

Repulsor

[Halandaar]

Want: Gravis Force with Captain, Heavy Intercessors, Aggressors or Inceptors, Eradicators and a Repulsor

 

Will Get: Same old Phobos units yet again.

[Malakithe]

Hey now infiltrators have a role right?....right?

[Blindhamster]

Infiltrators and Incursors are both good, but they have been in so many bundles that people tend to already have plenty

[WrathOfTheLion]

If they do a DA/BA/SW one, it'd be cool if it had the new upgrade sprue, like the BT upgrade sprue. They did something similar with IF a couple years back.

Anyone got a list of the previous few years boxes?

[Tokugawa]

Anyone got a list of the previous few years boxes?

Bols have some articles discuss these. Search keyword "battleforce".

[Dark Shepherd]

Cheers

 

2018

Primaris

Fists (heavy shooty primaris)

Necrons

Death Guard

Ad Mech

Craftworlds

 

2017 Orka, GSC, Tau, Guard

 

Following the pattern then 6

 

1-2 Marines

1 Chaos (1k sons or generic?)

1 Imperial (Sisters?)

2-3 Xenos with 1 some form of Space Aelf

 

My guess is Craftworlds, Orks, maybe Tau

Maybe a 2nd imperial ie AdMech instead of 2md marines

Was hoping for a reveal of the Christmas Battleforces today but no such luck. Normally we start to see them about now don’t we? First weeks of November? Usually in a photo of an in-store leaflet.
