Warhammer 40,000 – Battleforce: Chaos Space Marines Warband

PREORDER ONLY

RELEASE DATE JULY 11TH

Ten Legionaries, twenty Cultists, a Venomcrawler, two Obliterators, and a Lord Discordant on a Helstalker round out this one. The Lord Discordant helps the box stand out with a clear centerpiece instead of a generic CSM start, and the Venomcrawler makes it perfect for anyone leaning into the daemon-engine side of the army.

Honestly, the cultist squad is a huge deal if you are going to play the whole box. Twenty bodies is the difference between a hobby project and an actual screening unit on the table, and the Obliterators give the box a real heavy-weapons answer.

Chaos Space Marines Warband Battleforce Hobby Tips

Build the Venomcrawler in three subassemblies: the body, the legs, and the gun head, before anything touches primer. The Lord Discordant rider should come off the Helstalker for paint access, and pinning the rider before gluing saves an evening of fixing alignment. Finally, use a red-brown contrast over a black undercoat to push the Cultists through painting in a single sitting.
