Found a thread here regarding foundation paint, I gather base coating is just another term for an undercoat? Unless I'm completely off track... Sorry, I'm new to this >.<

EDIT: No I am wrong, just found this

Base coating is usually the base colour you put on before highlights, shading and whatnot, but after the undercoat.

Nothing, as far as I can tell. The ones in the main section are just a box of Space Marines that have been taken out of the box, and the ones in the 'on the sprue' section are from, as you said, the Battleforce boxes. Yes, in the end the models are 100% identical, but they come from different sources and, for whatever reason, Dice Bucket have chosen to both display and price them differently.

I know you said Dice Bucket removes the boxes anyway but it does state that these came from a bigger set though.
I don't know, I might just be overlooking things thinking that there is a catch to it, but it looks as if by buying that you're saving $3-4 for the exact same product.

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's more them reassuring you that despite the fact that there's no box everything that was in the box originally does get shipped, and not just the sprue.
