The new Warhammer 40,000 Christmas Battleforce boxes have finally been revealed. Included in this great discount box sets are the Space Marines, to nobody’s surprise. The poster boys of the franchise have their own fair share of combat patrols but this new battleforce box set really takes the take. But then again, is it actually worth it? Let’s find out and break down the box contents of the Iron Halo Strike Force box set of the Space Marines.
The Space Marine Iron Halo Strike Force box contains a total of 18 miniatures:
The box contains elite Space Marines unit and is perfect as a starting force. Compliment this with a Starter Box set and you’re all set. The two Dreadnoughts provide excellent firepower on the field and the may also take quite some time to paint. However, the Hellblasters may be a duplicate model for most but still a welcome addition. You can also check out the available Space Marines combat patrol for more unique models to add to your growing army.
The Space Marine 2025 Christmas Battleforce costs around $240.00 or £150.00 if we base it on previous releases. Due to rising costs in the past, Games Workshop has been regularly increasing the prices on their kits. While more expensive compared to the past years, there is still no denying that the Battleforce box sets are a great way to get a lot of models for less.

Definitely. Using the prices above and knowing the likely price of the battleforce box, we can calculate the savings. Buying the battleforce grants you a whopping 33.52% discount if in USD or 32.28% if in GBP. The total price of the Space Marines box, if units inside are bought separately, would amount to $361.00 or £221.50.

In the past few years, Battleforce boxes were released on December. We can say the same this time. This may vary though depending on your region. If you’re in the UK, expect an earlier or on time release date. For US, it depends on your nearest hobby store and you country’s Gamesworkshop distribution. Here in the Philippines, the release has been quite on time recently with the boxes ready for release on December or early January.
