Maybe you’ve seen these already on one forum or another, but like every christmas GW comes around with some Megaforces. Think of a Battleforce but with more models and a bigger discount. This year they release one for Space Marines (surprise), but also for High Elves, Skaven and… Dark Eldar. These come in with a bucketload of models at 130 pounds. The Dark Eldar Megaforce contains a Ravager, a Raider, a Venom, 9 Reaver Jetbikes, 5 Scourges, 10 Warriors and 20 Wyches which make a RRP of 204 pounds if you buy them on their own – a whopping 37% discount! The other Megaforces are of similar value. And most of them contain a really good mix of units with lots of recently released kits – e.g. the Skaven one has a Screaming Bell, the High Elves one 20 White Lions and the Space Marine one a Land Raider Redeemer and Venerable Dreadnought.
At this price point, I can no longer resist starting Dark Eldar. I wanted to paint all the models I currently have before moving on to new stuff, but this deal is too good to miss out. Especially when you get another 20% discount on top of that over at our friends from Wayland Games – check them out here. These are only available in limited quantities, so preorder them while you can.
I've ordered the Space Marine Megaforce. There is a really good saving when you compare buying the models individually.
I can't wait to start painting it up.
Sweet, cant wait to see your take on these guys/gals. By far the most fun I have had in recent memory for 40k both painting and playing this army 🙂 (too bad I already finished my army…this boxed set is sick).
GW no longer releases battleforces that contain new kits so that the battleforces don't cannibalize the sales of the single kits. They just release a battleforce in Wave 1 when it contains only old models, otherwise we have to wait for Wave 2. This is why we won't see a Necron Megaforce this year and have to wait for a new Necron Battleforce as well.
I was honestly suprised to not see a Necron one, what with all the hype around them right now and whatnot. I just wish they had a few more choices as well as to the armies getting these, as two doesn't seem enough to me. I must has moar!
I totally share your feelings. I will be also joining you on this 😉
Cant wait for Christmas 🙂
