Hey,

This is basically a thread where you post ideas to improve or create a new Battleforce or Battalion.

I'll start.

Deathwing Battleforce

1 Box of Terminators
1 Box of Assault Terminators
1 Venerable Dreadnought
A few Deathwing accessory sprues (Don't exist, but it could happen)

Cost? I'd say £65.00.

How do you create one? The merchandise must =£60-£70 (Or whatever it is where you live) when £20-£30 are took away from the total sum of the plastic kits.

If I were to change anything it'd be to make them playable. Y'know, an HQ and two troop choices at the very least. Try to keep the points level say around 4-500? It would make them more expensive about 125-140?

Capt or Libby and tac marines/rhino and mix up the Elite/FA/HS for different color marines

CCS, and vets, chimeras, a vendetta and LRBT (or manticore idk the points for them)

Warrior Prime and hormagants and termagaunts Fex gargolyes/Ravenors?

Warboss or Big Mek and boyz and boyz and boyz...

Necron Lord troops, barge/ark etcetc

Don't play sphess elfes so some HQ, troop and transport with eldar war walkers and Dark Eldar those beast unit deals...

But yeah opening statement of playable and about the same points level kinda like AoBR. I know being able to play right out was what got my friend and I to split the box and give it a go.

Hahahaha.

I'm in hysterics /sarcasm

In all seriousness none of them are very good.

I would create a system where people can make there own.

Fine. I'll make one now...

E.G you dont want damn scouts, crappy trucks, silly fire warriors, smelly ass possessed, and janky ass guardians

So you put together one on the online store that is under 200 bucks and you get a 20% discount.

Maybe you make them use one troop at least

BA price- £75
Space marine commander x1
Space marine asualt squad x2
Death company x1
rhino/razorback x1

Empire
10 GreatSwords
20 State Troops
10 Hand Gunner/Crossbowmen
1 Cannon/Mortar

100$ (swapped knights for great swords)

Chaos:
2 rhinos
10 zerkers
10 csm
1 lord in a box

Normal battleforce price

Blood Angels:
2 razor backs
10 assault marines
chaplain
apothecary

Normal battleforce price again


My thinking is that they should give you a basic army that is playable and somewhat in the style of the army in question.

3 Warlocks
Dire avengers (5)
Guardians (10)
1 Vyper Jetbike
1 Wave Serpent

About $100-$110

DA battleforce:

2 x Dark Angels Chapter Upgrade Frame

Space Marine Commander

Space Marine Razorback

Space Marine Terminator Squad

(A good start to any DA army)

Or:

Dark Angels Chapter Upgrade Frame

Belial Master of the Deathwing (no model at the moment)

Space Marine Rhino

Space Marine Terminator Close Combat Squad

(A good rounded 500 point force)

Both come to about £80, so £60-£65 sounds fair.

I have a problem.

Why bother with Rhinos/Razorbacks?

And neither of them are actually legal.

20 Orks
10 Grots & Slaver
5 Nobz
Warboss
Trukk

Chaos Marine:
1 Terminator Lord
20 Marines inc parts to make 2 champions, 2 heavy weapon troopers.
5 Havocs
about £65-£70, I cant get the gw prices due to them wanting me to enable cookies.

Empire:
21 State troops (extra can be used to make a lord or hero choice)
20 free company
10 Handgunners/Crossbowmen
1 Cannon/Mortar
about £70

Or

1 Mounted Lord
20 Knights
5 Pistoliers/outriders
£70

I may be interested if they made these!

IG:
1 CCS

2 Infantry squad boxes

1 HWS

1 Leman Russ battle tank.

All of those are things IG players need by the truckload, and I believe that's what the old battleforces had. I know if they still had that I'd buy them by the truckload

This would be realesed about a week after hell freezes over.

Inquisition battleforce

1x Inquisitor Coteaz (Either that, or a random inquisitor if we don't care about this being out-of-the box playable)
1x Techmarine
2x Servitors
1x sprue of cadian IG (warriors)
1x sprue of Bretonian men-at-arms (crusaders)
1x sprue of Empire Free company (DCA)

How about a strike force battleforce, something along the lines of

1 Stormraven
5 Termie/Paladins
1 Dreadnought

Because I am.not looking an OP battleforce. Its designed as a blooster pack not an army in itself.

Sisters of Battle Batallion box!

Ha ha...you wish.

Though were they not crazy expensive models, I think it'd be something like:

15 Sisters with bolters
2 flamers
2 meltas
1 multi-melta/heavy bolter
1 immolator
