Battleforces are limited-edition boxed sets released annually by Games Workshop. They bundle together multiple units for a specific faction at a discounted price, making them ideal for new players starting an army or veterans seeking efficient reinforcements. The 2022 Battleforces include popular factions from across the Mortal Realms.

The 2022 release featured Battleforces for several factions, including Stormcast Eternals, Sylvaneth, Nighthaunt, Maggotkin of Nurgle, Orruk Warclans, and Daughters of Khaine. Each box is tailored to the faction's theme and battlefield role, offering both elite units and core troops.

While a single Battleforce box won’t typically hit full 2000-point army size, it gives you a very solid starting foundation. Most players will only need to add a few units to round out a competitive or narrative-ready force, making it one of the best ways to begin Age of Sigmar.
