Seven faction-themed Battleforces arrive November 14, 2026

Games Workshop's annual Holiday Battleforces are back, and the 2026 lineup brings seven army-starting boxes to Warhammer 40,000. Each one bundles iconic units, and every single box is available while stocks last.

Pre-orders open Saturday, November 14, 2026. Release date is Friday, November 27, 2026. These sell out fast — join the waitlist below to get an alert the moment they go live.

This year's 40K Battleforce lineup spans seven factions, from the Imperium's finest to the forces of Chaos and the xenos menace. Each box is themed around a specific playstyle — close-quarters melee, mechanized assault, psychic horrors, or rapid vehicle rushes — and includes enough units to field a solid core army or reinforce an existing collection.

SPACE MARINES

Indomitus Task Force

A well-rounded Space Marines Battleforce built for flexibility. You can engage at range with Intercessors or push forward with Assault Intercessors and Terminators, all backed by a Redemptor Dreadnought and led by a Captain in Terminator Armour and Chaplain.

Contents: Captain in Terminator Armour, Chaplain, Redemptor Dreadnought, 5 Terminators, 5 Assault Intercessors, 10 Intercessors.

SPACE WOLVES

Champions of Fenris

Logan Grimnar himself leads this warband, joined by his personal champion Arjac Rockfist and a full retinue of Wolf Guard Terminators. This is a box for players who want their sagas written in close combat.

Contents: Logan Grimnar, Arjac Rockfist, 15 Wolf Guard Terminators.

BLOOD ANGELS

Angelus Assault Force

Commander Dante leads an assault force built around descending into the heart of enemy lines and wreaking havoc. A Death Company Brutalis Dreadnought, Sanguinary Guard, and Death Company Marines with Jump Packs make this a devastating melee-focused force.

Contents: Commander Dante, Blood Angels Chaplain with Jump Pack, Death Company Brutalis Dreadnought, 3 Sanguinary Guard, 5 Death Company Marines with Jump Packs, Blood Angels Upgrade Frame.

CHAOS KNIGHTS

Helhunt Lance

A towering Knight Ruinator (which can alternatively be built as a Knight Abominant, Knight Rampager, or Knight Desecrator) leads a retinue of four War Dog Stalkers. Destruction, desecration, and total devastation — in a box.

Contents: Knight Ruinator (build options: Knight Abominant, Knight Rampager, Knight Desecrator), 4 War Dog Stalkers (build options: War Dog Brigands, War Dog Karnivores).

CHAOS SPACE MARINES

Cult of Destruction

Iron Warriors and Daemon Engine enthusiasts, this one's for you. A hulking Defiler backed by Obliterators, Havocs, and a Warpsmith brings the kind of firepower that scours battlefields clean.

Contents: Warpsmith, Defiler, Venomcrawler, 2 Obliterators, 5 Havocs, 3 Mutilators.

ORKS

Armoured Blitzmob

Vehicular mayhem. A Warboss in Mega Armour and three Meganobz loaded into a Gunwagon, backed by a Deff Dread and a mob of Ork Boyz. This is a battering ram in a box.

Contents: Warboss in Mega Armour, Battlewagon (build option: Gunwagon), Deff Dread, 3 Meganobz, 10 Ork Boyz.

NECRONS

Disciples of the Nekrosor

Nekrosor Ammentar and a looming C'tan Shard of the Nightbringer lead a force focused on spreading madness and death. Ophydian Destroyers, a Canoptek Doomstalker, Necron Warriors, and Canoptek Scarab Swarms round out the box.

Contents: C'tan Shard of the Nightbringer, Nekrosor Ammentar, 3 Ophydian Destroyers, Canoptek Doomstalker, 10 Necron Warriors, 3 Canoptek Scarab Swarms.
