Dark Eldar - Includes about 25 Wyches. 10 Kabalite Warriors. 9 Reavers. 5 Scouges. 2 Raiders and a Venom.

Space Marines - Don't remember everything in it. There's a drop pod, dreadnought. meh. it's Mehreens. Make up of the set is better than last years.

Skaven - 40 Stormvermin. 40 Clanrats. 20 Plague monks. Bell. Warp lightning cannon. Rat Ogres.

1 other fantasy megaforce. High Elves?

Too many Wyches for me to care about the Dark Eldar Megaforce. And too many Reavers at that... Any chance Orks will get one?

Also, how much will these cost? Double the price of a battleforce? I remember a Marine and an Ork MFs for about 100€ on a discount online retailer...

Thanks for the heads up!

I thought they had stopped doing megaforces. When was the last one?

I remember someone screaming about how sure they are about GW stop making any bundle deals beside battle forces hmmm.... i seem to recall making a bet too... if i can only find it and collect myself a megaforce as present xD

They stopped doing them as regular box sets, but they still do them around the holidays sometimes.

Whats the prices?

The Marine one last year was $250 (I think). The Orc (Fantasy) one was around that price.

The DE one priced out is 9 Reavers (~105), 10 Kabalite Warriors ($29), 5 Scourges ($25), 2 Raiders ($66), 1 Venom ($30), 25 Wyches (~$70) = ~$325 of stuff.

I'm going with $250(Spectacular deal) or $275(pretty good deal).

Last Christmas there was a Marine one and a Fantasy Orc one.

They stopped doing Megaforces as a regular item. They still intend to do them as Christmas Splash items along with things like Strongpoint, Imperial Sector and the Fortified Manor.

Megapaint Set goes on sale on the 29th. Stores should be receiving them this week.

Curious ratio of Wyches to Warriors. I would've thought 20:20 would have been easier, even from just a sprue perspective.

I would've thought Hellions would be included as well (maybe in place of the second Raider, or rather than a full 9 Reavers).

Surprised there isnt going to be a TK/Ogre one

Cool though, they do save quite a bit usually

Oooh... might be a good way to start my second (DE) army. I like this rumor a lot!

I'm kinda surprised that they aren't making one for the Necrons? Seems like a no-brainer.

They want to sell lots of little boxes first... no discounts on new stuff; after all, they haven't made their mint yet

I'd like to see Ogres on the WHFB megaforces. Then again their sprues aren't exactly efficient in that they take up a whole lot of space for what they have on your regular bulls/ironguts/lead.

I am however vary interested in that skaven box, that's a lot of storm vermin and clanrats for that price (that's $276AUD for those 80 alone). Though I don't know why they tagged on the rat ogres rather than some night runners or even just a few sling upgrade sets for slaves. Something I don't know...useful

You've got enough armies as it is!

It's interesting that the usual stalwarts for the second Megaforce (Orks) have been replaced by DE. GW are really riding the Dark Kin wave.

Strange board hiccup causing double posts! That's unpossible!!!

The Dark Eldar megaforce intrigues me greatly.

Combined with the box of Dark Eldar Kabalite Warriors I bought at the launch...that'd be a kinda nice force I think.

Hrmh. Got to consider this.

Im not sure if thats alot of savings, the weird number contents were added to throw calculations off.

$275 for Megaforce or for $10 more you get:

3 raiders $99
30 Kabalite warriors $87
30 wyches $87
9 Reaver Jet bikes $104.25............................. $377.25

Basically for $10 more, the original battle force would have netted you $52.25

In other words, to "trade" for the 1 Venom and 5 Scourges, you just lost $42.25 savings.

Says the man with the Macharius division

I just look at an ogre army and sigh at how they never release enough of any one unit to make a complete force. It's just a taste of everything but nothing solid and you'll probably end up leaving either the ironguts or leadbelchers out if you're running a bull deathstar or end up substituting them for mournfang cavalry. It's just sad really. The Lizardmen box however is perfect for a small force: skinks, saurus and templeguard. The cold ones are unnecessary but I'll never turn my nose up at free models.

I don't 'need' more marines.... but....


A Tyranid one would be nice.

Depending on what armies come out, I might pick one of these up.

Specifically, a Vampire Count or Orc one (Newer Orc one, I hope)

It's not a Division, it's a Regiment, and only three of the tanks in it are Macharius'. The rest are all various types of Baneblade hull.

But stop changing the subject!

Plus we've found other uses for Cold Ones.

When was the last one?

The last large bundle deals were the Orc Brigade and Empire Brigade two years ago as of this December.

1 kabalite warrior = $2.191
1 wytch = $2.191
1 raider = $24.88
1 reaver = $8.73

These are the discount worth of units inside a Battle Force. If we use that to factor the mega army then we get:

9 Reavers = $78.57
10 Kaba Warrior = $21.91
25 Wych = $54.75
2 Raiders = $49.76

Total so far = $205 Battleforce price worth.

Vemon = $30
Scourge = $25

Grand Total $260.

Not only are you not saving, you are paying $15 to get privilege of having a Venom and Scourge in this combo.


I think i just blue balled everyone's boner on this "discount, but yay i just saved you guys money" GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP

Ugh.. Do not need any more Minis....

How did you find out about this? They're not on the GW website.

That's kind've a trend y'know? Everything except the big paint set has appeared here before it's appeared on the GW website.

At the GW in Glasgow there was an Ork Megaforce left over for quite awhile along with some Empire Forces, while I had no intrest in these sets I may be quite interested in the Dark Eldar Megaforce despite the fact that's a lot of Wyches.

What used to be my local GW had a Tyranid Battleforce (from the 4th Ed Codex) sitting in their store for a few years. Got it for a discount, and my friend even bartered down the price!

They never downgraded the price, I'm sure I saw someone buying it and that Chaos space marine Spearhead that I wanted but alas the price was to high.
