\"Space<\/p>\n

The other day I was ordering some new additions to my Space Marine army and was trying to figure out if I wanted to order another BattleForce or not. They’re definitely a great deal, but how much of a deal? I decided to crunch some numbers. Most importantly, what are the savings per unit via buying in a Battleforce versus separately? Turns out they’re actually fairly substantial. Purchased separately, the total force would come out to about $131 dollars. Going the wholesale route cuts the cost of a Rhino down to about $20, as shown here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Unit<\/strong><\/td>\nList $<\/strong><\/td>\n% Battleforce<\/strong><\/td>\nBattleforce $<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Assault Squad<\/td>\n26.5<\/td>\n20.15<\/td>\n18.14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tactical Squad<\/td>\n35<\/td>\n26.62<\/td>\n23.95<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Combat Squad<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n15.21<\/td>\n13.69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Scout Squad<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n15.21<\/td>\n13.69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Rhino<\/td>\n30<\/td>\n22.81<\/td>\n20.53<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Total<\/td>\n131.5<\/td>\n100<\/td>\n90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

So, if that’s a good deal, how good of a deal is it per unit if you have a discount on the Battleforce? The following table relates prices under 30% and 20% discounts to the original price. Notably, at a relatively rare 30% discount, the Battleforce cuts the price of each unit to just over better than half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Definitely tempting, but for the record in the end I did not order another box. I wanted another Rhino but can make do without, and couldn’t justify the shelve space of another Battleforce box given how many incomplete minis I already have laying around…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
