The bonereaper one is pretty much all stuff I was planning to get to finish my army anyway, depending on the cost it'll be a no-brainer for me.

Wolfspear's 2k
Harlequins 2k
Chaos Knights 2k
Spiderfangs 2k
Ossiarch Bonereapers 1k

With them not being in the gift guide, I was worried these battleforces were going to be direct only bundles with a token discount like on warhammer day. Glad to see they're dedicated releases like before.

It's very possible they were left out because GW themselves weren't sure if they could deploy them in time

Torn on the Vampire one.

Whilst an appealing set of models, it feels a wee bit patchy and not especially focussed.

The Slaanesh and Lumineth are quite appealling. Which is odd because last year I couldn't stand the sight of them!

Casual gaming, mostly solo-coop these days.

Going to be honest, surprised there is so much new stuff in the AoS ones.

I was expecting more recycling of WFB stuff.

Not impressed by the Vanguard box, but didn't expect to be after Combat Patrols.

Since they're not out by now I'm guessing 40k an hour after AoS to give us time to digest

I'm sure there will be another article in an hour or two.

The initial copy for the social media blast was:
We couldn't let the 41st Millennium have all the fun! Check out these awesome Battleforces that are coming for Warhammer Age of Sigmar.


I think someone made an "oops" though and put the AoS ones up first and they're just rolling with it.

I'm convinced that if the Slaangors weren't mono-pose there'd be 6 of them in that box.

It's tempting, but yeah, not enough to get me to buy in.

I am not interested in any of the AOS battleforces. Dang. I was hoping for ghouls and/or Lizardmen to snag some WHFB toys.

Was tempted to start a Vampire army, but the price of skeletons and zombies really are a bit much for what they are in my opinion and make bundles look a bit underwhelming. Lumineth looks very tempting though

Literally all the Ghoul plastics are in their Start Collecting, the only thing their battleforce could be is two Start Collectings taped together

Marginally higher than last year's would be my guess.

Hmm they didn't mention LotR in the initial news, maybe this indicates that specialist games / paint are also a possibility.

That is simply the best big box bundle I have ever purchased, glad to see it's back!

Is that the first LoTR mini board game? I quite like it.

And I really like the scenery bundle, here's hoping for a Necromunda one....

The Rohan stuff is a Ray Dranfield kit, so they're sure to be great.
