How often do battleforces get released?

[adreusbjorn]

Im trying to look at the history of battleforce releases and it seems they dont release them for all armies at once and pick a few a year to get the treatment. seeing the bioswarm from last year im guessing we wont be getting one this year? (before 2021)

Probably not. But they’re usually a Christmas thing I think from memory?

We got one around chrismas. There where also apocalypse once.

Hey didnt want to create a new thread, but im planning on sticking to combat patrol/incursion, i have
1 flyrant
1tfex
1tervigon conversion
1broodlord
1 neurothrope/3zoanthrope (the neuro is a zoan so i figure if i want 2 neros i can run two zoans not doing tournaments)
1lictor
6 raveners (3scytal/3grasping talons)
3 warriors
12 horma gaunts
12 termagaunts
8 genestealers
9 ripper swarms

i was planning on getting one or two boxes if there is a battle box released this christmas, would 2 be overkill for 1000 points (i dont plan to field everything at once but that way i can enough for a 30 squad of gaunts or split 2 squads of up to 18) plus gargoyles look cool. thoughts and opinions, if i do get 2 is there anything i should sell thats overkill. im looking at the savings im not crazy about buying troops and if its as good as the bio swarm, well that is a really enticing box.

(the other things im looking to add in the far future are more warriors hive guard and exocrine unless theres no battlebox)

It depends on what is in this hypothetical battle box. Where you're really hurting is gaunts/stealers and tank busting units. If the possible new battle box was similar to the current start collecting box (stealers, broodlord, trygon) than two of them wouldn't be a bad purchase.

i was talking about the bio swarm box XD gargorles, stealers, gaunts, tyrant and carnifex x2 oh my

[yoritomo]

Like I said, it depends on what’s in the box. Two of the boxes you listed would give you 900 points in carnifex and tyrants alone. So two of those boxes would be overkill for a 1,000 point game.
