The Space Marines are getting 4 new Battleforces. Let’s take a look at each and see what you’re getting in terms of points.

If you’ve been eyeing the 4 new Space Marine Battleforces you might be wondering what they come out it points-wise. We’re here to help. We’ve got the new point values and we’re not afraid to use them! For simplicity sake, we’re going to go with the baselines for these boxes — no wargear options included. With that caveat established let’s get started!

Iron Hands – March of Iron Strike Force

Iron Father Feirros — 130
Primaris Techmarine — 70
2x Redemptor Dreadnought — 185 each, 370 total
10x Primaris Intercessors — 180

Point Total: 750

 

Salamanders – Warforged Strike Force

 

Adrax Agatone — 120
Primaris Aggressors — 90
Primaris Eradicators — 135
20x Primaris Intercessors — 360

Point Total: 705

 

Ultramarines – Scions of Macragge

Marneus Calgar with 2x Victrix Honour Guard — 160 + 55 = 215
Chief Librarian Tigurius — 120
Bladeguard Veterans — 105
10x Primaris Intercessors  — 180
10x Primaris Hellblasters — 300

Point Total: 920

White Scars – Storm of Chogoris

Kor’sarro Khan — 100
Primaris Chaplain on Bike — 115
2x Invader ATV — 140
6x Outriders — 210

Total: 565

Well there you have it! We ranked these boxes and it’s nice to see that just based on points our rankings were spot on. The Ultramarines clocked in with a point-dense 920 points while the White Scars landed with a relatively anemic 565. Considering each of these boxes costs the same you can see where your value would be there.

That said, if you already had those character each box drops a bit in value (points-wise). If you’re looking at starting any of these Space Marine factions up they really good launching points. They each capture the core of their respective flavor of Space Marine and get your theme pointed in the right direction.

We still gotta give this one to the Ultramarines Box. You really do get a pair of strong characters and can compete in every phase. Plus it’s the best bang for your buck.
