Necron Battleforce Up For Pre-Order!
February 20, 2012 by dracs
Calling all budding Necron players, now is your chance to take that first step towards fielding an army of these undying warriors with Games Workshop's Necron Battleforce set!
This battleforce set is now available for advance order and contains:
- 20 Necron Warriors
-5 Immortals (which can alternatively be built as 5 Deathmarks)
- 5 Canoptek Scarab Swarms
- 1 Ghost Ark (which can alternatively be built as a Doomsday Ark)
Do any of you think you might take this chance to start a Necron army?

With the cost of everything in GW going up it’s becoming clearer that your getting smaller battle force’s but it will most likely save you some cash if you go with this. The only Battle forces I liked back in the day was the Eldar box and the Imperial Guard box (they came with so much , even a Leman Russ Tank but not these days) Just looked up the price of the Necron boxes each by themselves and this battle force is a bargain. A box of Necron warriors is only 12 models and it comes up to $42… Read more »
The Battleforces, Battalions, Starter Kits for GW are always pretty good value for money. More so than others in some cases, and in others they don’t give you much of the essentials. But its certainly something that you can give a nod to GW for.

I think the Battle Forces and Battalions whilst not representing real value for money, are much closer to a reasonable retail price than the individual price tags. They defo were outstanding prior to the last 2 or 3 arbitrary price hikes.
At one point with the last Space Ork Battle force it was ridiculously good value for money. Not too sure on it now though. Certainly helped me start my Ork Waaaaaagh! (Along with Black Reach of course lol)

two of these a command barge and an elite squad and Im good to go Gw got one right.
Why no Annihilation Barges? Was wondering on people’s feelings towards them.
Command Barge can do more cool stuff.
Like hit enemies when you fly over them. 🙂
Over all its surely not bad box althought its kinda small.
id say its 1 of the better if not best battleforces as id use all the minis in it.
i might pick this up at release to boost this lot as i ordered total wargamer army deal this weekend http://www.totalwargamer.co.uk/necron-army-deal.html as it was on offer
Yeah the thing with battleforces is that usually they include stuff that isn’t very useful in the game. Here though everything truly is useful. Not sure if I’ll get one as I don’t need the warriors having played last edition…but I do need an ark and immortals so might get one for those and the extra scarabs.
Looks like a good deal all around, value and model wise. My one little niggle is…no HQ? So… you couldn’t even play a game out of the box? I haven’t checked, but have GW stopped supplying even a weak HQ with their battleforces?
You don’t get a HQ choice in the Battle Force boxes, or indeed any of the Battalion ones either. Basically you buy one of these then you get a finecast blister and go from there.
Essentially the saving you make on the regiments/squads goes into buying your general.

When have they ever supplied a HQ in their battleforces? Unless you’re thinking of he megaforces they sometimes release when an army’s new.
tau have one (battlesuit), but unless your willing to convert a model from the others that’s the only one.
i like this battleforce. add a command barge and your off to a good start.
