Best prices on Christmas Battleforce boxes!

It’s that time of year again – snow is threatening to fall, you still can’t be bothered to wrap all the presents you’ve bought, and Da Red Gobo is on the lookout for more teef! 🦷 To take your mind off things a little retail therapy might be in order, and Games Workshop are about to release their shiny new Battleforce boxes!

You don’t want to spend all your Christmas money before you’ve even got it, though, so whether you’re looking for Adeptus Custodes jet bikes or a tidal wave of Squigs, let’s take a look at a few places where you can pick these new boxes up just a little bit cheaper.

This list draws on the slightly larger discount retailers list to try and provide you with the very best prices for your area.
The Battleforces for Age of Sigmar are slated for a pre-order beginning on Saturday the 26th of November, with the regular sale date being the 3rd of December (UK – other regions may vary)
The Warhammer 40k boxes are currently expected to start their pre-order around the 3rd of December (UK – other regions may vary)
The expected price for all boxes is £130 / €160.00 / $210 / $350AUD

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

🇪🇺 Europe

Hobbyists in Europe have something of a mixed deal. Some countries have stores that offer up to 25% discounts, while some struggle to get better prices than 10-15% off. You also have GW’s exchange rates to contend with: local prices can often be 10-15% more expensive than the direct GBP – Euro conversion rate would suggest! It is for this reason that I’m including a UK-based store in the EU list, as with currency conversion it may work out cheaper to buy from abroad! I would recommend looking at Wayland Games before any stores offering a 20% discount, and in the case of those that offer 25% I would compare the difference when postage is included. For those countries not listed (due to not having stores that offer at least 20% off) I would go straight to Wayland. Should they run out of stock check my retailers list for local alternatives.

🇺🇸 United States

Unfortunately those in the US get a pretty raw deal. Stores are legally only allowed to advertise a discount of up to 15%, and so it’s difficult to find truly competitive pricing. Some stores may quietly offer memberships that grant additional discounts, or have different prices for local regulars, but these can’t be shared online. I also unfortunately only have a small number of US stores on my retailers list, so if you know of any that I could add please do get in touch!

pawl has been an on/off hobbyist since the late nineties but still possesses significantly more enthusiasm for the hobby as a whole than skill with a brush, and so is always on the hunt for fast, easy and lazy techniques that give good results. Despite this he sometimes still attempts to paint Space Marine helmet lenses, and occasionally even manages to stay within the lines!
