I haven't been getting Battles for a while but I think this is the first time they've had single-content booster boxes. If they keep it up like this I wouldn't expect any large or huge figures.
But it looks like the next one, Armies of the Dead, is either going to have a release similar to the old way, or somehow deal with putting any of the four large figures in these small boxes.

But the next one, Wrath of the Wild, seems like it fits the Fearsome Forces release method:

I only got the Legendary Adventures one a while back, and I splurged and got a whole Case. I have enough elves and goblins and orcs and gnomes to build warbands out of them, which is great. But I've also got 4 dragon turtles. So I'm hesitant to get a case again.
With Fearsome Forces (there was a price change at the last couple weeks I ducked) I only got a Brick, which was a small box like the size of a small pizza box, with 24 smaller boxes in it. I managed to get at least one of each of the figures. I have to admit I was wondering if it was sort of planned, like will every brick have one of everything? It got close because the standout of the crew, the Omox, didn't seem there and was hiding in my last box.
Anyways the final tally was:
2 Nagaji Soldier
1 Iruxi Scout
1 Nosferatu Overlord
1 Skeletal Mage
1 Serpentfolk Venom Caller
1 Zombie Shambler
1 Skeletal Champion
1 Kasa Obake
1 Lifeleecher Brawler
2 Kholo Sergeant
2 Kholo Cultist
2 Orc Brute
1 Jorogumo
1 Hobgoblin Soldier
2 Iruxi Defender
2 Serpentfolk Granitescale
1 Harpy Skeleton
1 Omox
Which is pretty good. I have some kholo minis so these can now be the "elites" of their warband, the orc brutes don't look much different than the same orc brutes in Legendary Adventures. But the Lifeleecher brawler will round him out. I've never done Serpentfolk/Iruxi/Nagaji stuff but have always wanted to. And I have a ton of skeletons so the champion and mage will round them out nicely, with the harpy skeleton acting perhaps as a scout.
The quality seems a bit better than Legendary. The bases are clear (the type of mini is engraved on the bottom). Some are bent and some of the paintjobs are dull (orcs and skeletons and xhola don't have much style) but there isn't a lot of the overlap in painting I saw in Legendary, mostly in the faces.
A while back I got the Battles Goblins Legendary Cuts, and I am kind of hoping for more like that. Like right now if I wanted to have my players come across an iruxi, serpentfolk, or nagaji encounter, I wouldn't have minis enough to represent a challenge. Parties, warbands, packs, whatever, a lot the folks my players PCs kill are usually found in groups of some sort. So it's nice to be able to get support for showing that off. Hopefully we'll be able to get a big group of something next.
