The rest of the First Founding chapters get the Holiday Battleforce treatment with these sets – headed your way in early 2023.

We all saw the 2022 40K Battleforces announced in late November. But some Space Marine players were lamenting that only the Raven Guard and the Imperial Fists got the special treatment. GW, ever wanting to limit heresy, had decided to help keep spirits up amongst the Loyalists with the following kits just announced for the Iron Hands, Salamanders, White Scars, and Ultramarines.   They include all the normal goodies like decal sheets, and will ship out next month. Here’s the details via Warhammer-Community.

Iron Hands Battleforce

  • Iron Father Feirros
  • Primaris Techmarine
  • 10 Intercessors
  • 2 Redemptor Dreadnoughts

“Both Characters can make battlefield repairs on the Dreadnoughts, with Feirros restoring 3 wounds every turn, so it’ll take some serious firepower to bring them down. Just add a few Gladiator tanks and you’ll prove that the flesh is weak and the machine is strong.”

Salamanders Battleforce

  • Adrax Agatone
  • 20 Intercessors
  • 3 Eradicators
  • 3 Aggressors

“The Warforged Strike Force is as Salamanders as they come, and provides you with all the sturdy CORE Infantry you need to make good use of the chapter’s new secondary objective. Salamanders look striking on the battlefield and are an excellent opportunity to practise your flame details, which are sure to stand out in the next Armies on Parade award show. A Bladeguard Veteran bodyguard for Adrax and an Impulsor to ride in won’t go amiss, either if you’re looking to expand your force.”

White Scars Battleforce

  • Kor’sarro Khan
  • Primaris Chapain on Bike
  • 6 Primaris Outriders
  • 2 Invader ATVs

“Except Kor’sarro Khan – who’s taken a break from the saddle to get a keener eye over the battlefield. With the bulk of your fast-movers seen to, a few squads of Assault Intercessors and a couple of Stormhawk Interceptors are all you need to round out a characterful White Scars army.”

Ultramarines Battleforce

  • Marneus Calgar w 2 Victrix Guard
  • Chief Librarian Tigurius
  • 10 Intercessors
  • 10 Hellblasters
  • 3 Bladeguard Veterans

“With every base covered, you can take this starting force in any direction you desire. Double down on the plasma barrage with some Primaris Inceptors, then bring the might of Roboute Guilliman, the Avenging Son, onto the battlefield. “
