Here’s the latest on the new Warhammer The Old World game, including all the models, release dates, and rumors so far!
Warhammer The Old World is a tabletop miniature wargame that takes place in a fantasy world full of magic, and epic battles. Best of all the game is set in a medieval world that is inspired by the events and characters of the Warhammer Fantasy Battles game.
Warhammer The Old World Models, New Releases, & Rumors
In this article, we will discuss what’s new in the game, including the return of Dwarfs, Orcs, Forge World miniatures, new resculpts, base sizes, and more. We will also take a look at the Forces of Fantasy and Ravening Hordes rulebooks, which cover the model and unit rules for all nine factions in the game.
Here is the compiled list of all the confirmed and previewed (but not released) new models available for Warhammer The Old World with links to where you can buy yours!
Warhammer The Old World Base Sizes Guide
Dwarfs Return to The Old World With a New King & Old Favs
Tons of miniatures are returning to Warhammer the Old World for the Dwarfs, along with a new king, a Slayer Lord, and Bugman!
It looks like GW is taking aim at the Dwarven Mountain Holds next, with tons of models returning to square base form! Not only is Bugman returning, but Goblin Hewers, artillery, Slayers, infantry, and so much more. If you need an army that won’t be broken by those pesky Greenskins, this is the force for you.
The moment the Orc and Goblin Tribes start causing trouble, their age-old opponents, the Dwarfen Mountain Holds, appear with weapons in hand, a thirst for ale, and a strong desire for revenge.
To start, there will be a ton of returning models, including the Warriors, cannons, artillery, and more!
They mention the Warrior box set will still have a ton of options and let you kit them out with almost any option they can take.
Dwarven Mountain Holds Battalion Box
The tale begins with a heavily packed Battalion Box. The Dwarf variation of the box contains 66 miniatures, comprising 32 Dwarf Warriors, 32 Dwarf Quarrellers (which can also be constructed as Thunderers), and two Gyrocopters (which can be developed as Gyrobombers).
It is a remarkable base for any Dwarfs army, and it marks only the start. Just like the rest of the armies for Warhammer the Old World, there will be plenty of re-releases, but a few new models as well!
New Forge World Dwarfs
First, you can carry your leader around on a giant shield once again! This time, though, the model is a little bit bigger, and they say he will take up the space of 4 models. You can also make him on foot with this kit, but who doesn’t want to be carried on a shield?
Two other new miniatures will also be coming in resin. One of them is the Dwarf Thane with Handgun, who is shown in a striking pose on an Oathstone.
This stance provides him with immunity to psychological effects, and his opponents are obligated to accept any challenges he issues.
The second miniature is Ungrim Ironfist, whose appearance may be recognized by some. Both miniatures are crafted from the excellent quality resin that Forge World is renowned for.
With the reveal of new characters and models during the AdeptiCon 2024 preview, players can look forward to expanding their Dwarfs armies with new options for Warhammer the Old World
Warhammer: The Old World Rules & References
Warhammer: The Old World Rulebook $70 CA$85 €55 £42.50
Click on these links to order yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Element Games (UK) | eBay | or | Games Workshop’s Store
The rulebook will also be available separately. This weighty 352-page tome features over 70 pages of background on the World of Legend, plus Core and Advanced rules for the game, an explanation of the Winds of Magic and rules for casting spells, a gallery of armies painted by the ’Eavy Metal studio, and rules for building armies and setting up your battlefields. It will also be released as a digital ePub version for easy access to rules on the go.
A huge rulebook is a requirement when it is for an entire game/world reboot! This thing is massive and will surely be full of great lore and art. Oh, and, of course, the rules to play. Fortunately, you get the Warhammer The Old World Rulebook in both the army box sets at launch. For those who just want the rules, it will be sold separately as well.
Forces of Fantasy $50 CA$60 €40 £30, and Ravening Hordes $50 CA$60 €40 £30
Click on these links to order yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Element Games (UK) | eBay | or | Games Workshop’s Store
Rules for all nine factions in the game will be available at launch, in one of two tomes covering the forces of Good and Evil – Forces of Fantasy and Ravening Hordes respectively.
Forces of Fantasy is a 192-page book available in hardback and ePub formats covering five factions: the Dwarfen Mountain Holds, the Empire of Man, the Kingdom of Bretonnia, the Wood Elf Realms, and the High Elf Realms.
Each army gets an introduction, a gallery of miniatures, a grand army composition list, a complete set of unit profiles (so you’ll have no need for a separate army book to play), special rules, magic items, and unique spells.
Ravening Hordes contains all your Evil factions – it’s a 160-page hardback book or ePub containing similar material for the Orc and Goblin Tribes, the Warriors of Chaos, the Beastmen Brayherds, and the Tomb Kings of Khemri.
You’ll need the main Warhammer: The Old World rulebook to use either book.
This time around, what is essentially the Grand Alliances are grouped into two rulebooks. From the looks of it, you’ll need one of these depending on if you are more “good” or “evil” inclined. Some of you may remember Ravening Hordes. It was the stop-gap set of points and rules GW would publish at the launch of new editions of Warhammer Fantasy as well.
Warhammer The Old World launch looks slightly different, though. While it has new compilation versions of the army books, they are also putting out something a bit new…
Arcane Journals: $27 CA$32 €22 £16
Click on these links to order yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Element Games (UK) | eBay | or | Games Workshop’s Store
In addition to these hefty hardback books, there are the Arcane Journals – softback books for each faction that expand it all out with history, heraldry, maps, special characters (including a certain undead emperor), magic items, spells, a historical scenario, and thematic Armies of Infamy which let you select armies of very different compositions.
For instance, Arcane Journal: Kingdoms of Bretonnia has rules for armies of Bretonnian Exiles and Errantry Crusades, while Arcane Journal: Tomb Kings of Khemri provides the Nehekharan Royal Host and the Mortuary Cults. It is important to know that you don’t require an Arcane Journal to play your chosen faction – all the units and army rules are contained in Ravening Hordes or Forces of Fantasy – but they do provide a trove of extra options and extra depth for discerning generals.
The Arcane Journals for the Kingdom of Bretonnia and Tomb Kings of Khemri will arrive at launch alongside their army releases, with those for other factions following in the future.
On top of the Core rulebook and Army List books, each faction will have this sort of expansion book. These also don’t come with the Warhammer The Old World launch army boxes. However, you still get the massive core rulebook.
Now, it appears that purchasing your army’s fluff and lore will cost extra. But those books will also contain the rules for their Army lists, which is nice. You may want to pick up the Grand Alliance book (Forces of Fantasy or Ravening Hordes) and these faction-specific Arcane Journals to get everything for your faction.
Warhammer: The Old World Dice Set $42 €34 £26, Lore of Magic Reference Cards Common Magic Items Reference Cards $38 CA$48 €31.50 £24 (each) Card Sleeves $18 CA$24 €14.50 £12
If you want to keep your dice in-theme for the World of Legend, but don’t command Bretonnians or Tomb Kings, the Warhammer: The Old World Dice Set is for you. Crafted with a pearlescent blue swirl and gold ink, they have the iconic hammer Ghal-Maraz in place of the six on the 18 D6s. The set also includes a scatter dice and an artillery dice.
The two Warhammer: The Old World Reference Card packs give you an easy way to keep track of your common magic items – usable by any army in the game – and spell lores as you play. The Common Magic Items set includes 56 cards, and the Lores of Magic set has 56 cards covering eight lores of magic. You can also protect your cards with a set of 50 sleeves featuring the Warhammer: The Old World logo on the backs.
Warhammer The Old World MTO Models
Here are the details for all the Tomb Kings and Bretonnia MTO miniatures, such as Bretonnian Lord on Pegasus, Bretonnian Lords & Battle Standard Bearer on Warhorses, Bretonnian Paladins on Foot, Damsels of the Lady, Tomb Kings, and Liche Priests and Battle Standard Bearers.
Bretonnian Lord on Pegasus
Lead your Pegasus Knights in the manner they deserve with this mighty Bretonnian Lord coming in hot. This imperious character was first released as a hero in the late 90s, and may be armed either with a sword or a lance.
The classic lord returns! Even better, it should match up with the other pegasus knights you might be playing in Warhammer the Old World!
Bretonnian Lords & Battle Standard Bearer on Warhorses
This trio of mighty heroes were first released in 2004. Sold separately, one is armed with a lance, one a great weapon, while one bears a resplendent standard aloft. Their horses are plastic.
These knights are iconic and honestly don’t look too bad after all these years! It’s impressive that they’ve still held up!
Bretonnian Paladins on Foot
This gaggle of knights on foot are here to do two things: add variety to your infantry regiments, and drop the jaws of collectors. The feller with the hound crest is a Knight of the Realm (sold individually), while the hero with the dragon crest is a Grail Knight (sold individually). The other two are Questing Knights, sold as a pair. All four date back to the early to mid 90s, though the Knight with the golden crest is the oldest, making his first appearance in the original Warhammer Quest.
If some smaller on-foot knights are more your speed, these have a very retro-style size and pose to them all.
Damsels of the Lady
The Knights aren’t having all the fun – these two Damsels are here to sling spells and lead an army of aristocratic hoodlums in prayer to the Lady of the Lake. They come as a pair, and were first released in the mid 90s.
Bretonnia wouldn’t be the same without the influence of The Lady, and now you can field them without paying a premium on the secondary market.
Tomb Kings
These two Tomb Kings are sold separately. One comes with a hand weapon and shield, while the other gestures imperiously as he brandishes a great weapon. They were both originally released (we think!) in 2003.
Tomb Kings wanted their namesake lord again, and now you can get it for yourself, too!
Liche Priests and Battle Standard Bearers
Also hailing from the original Tomb Kings release way back in 2003, these sets of Liche Priests and Battle Standard Bearers come in pairs. Each pack contains one mounted character and one on foot, with plastic skeletal steeds.
Remember that these will all only be available for a limited time – until 8am GMT on the 5th of February.
If you’re a fan of Warhammer The Old World and you’re looking to relive the glory days or start rebuilding your favorite army, these miniatures are only available for a limited time, so be sure to get them if you want them.

They are all made of Forge World resin.
These resin miniatures are perfect to help your legions stand apart.
Classic Orcs in Plastic Direct From Warhammer Webstore Only (may be delayed)
Two classic Orc kits are returning in plastic – the Orc Bosses and Orc Boyz Mob. The first of these builds two highly customisable Orc leaders, one mounted on a War Boar and the other marching on foot, with options for a banner, paired or single choppas, a cavalry spear, shield, or a great weapon, on top of choices for heads and accessories.
The Orc Boyz Mob is meanwhile the same unit found in the Battalion box – 31 Orc Boyz with a choice of weapons and a set of command options. Both boxes include a new 75-decal Orc Transfer Sheet.
The Boyz Mob is a classic building block of Orcs, so getting their classic kit here makes perfect sense for the faction.

Possibly the greatest Fantasy model ever made, the Doom Diver catapult joins the lineup as a metal kit! If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check out how they work in the Total War video game lobbin’ goblins!
Giant $78 CAD$96 & Bonegrinder Giant $230 CAD$285 Direct From Warhammer Webstore Only
Two Giants return in Forge World resin – one remastered brute, and the other standing tall as one of the largest miniatures in the Old World. The first of these Giants was formerly made of metal, and comes with two head options. The second, the Bonegrinder Giant, is a towering model with an awesome profile to match, detailed in the new Arcane Journal.
Next to each other, we can see the huge upscale that took place from metal to Forge World resin, but even the smaller Giant still has a clear place in this army!

Redesigned Miniatures For Warhammer The Old World
Here is the latest on the redesigned Warhammer The Old World models.
…While we remember each and every one of these wonderful miniatures from yesteryear with all-consuming fondness, we can’t claim in good conscience that they were all smooth experiences to build. Fortunately, the team bringing Warhammer: The Old World to your tabletop had this in mind when they were pillaging the archives, and more than a few of the larger returning models have been remastered to update their details and ensure they fit together as painlessly as possible. Here’s Rob, the guy in charge of the whole Old World project, to explain:
“In some cases, the original greens* are long missing. The factory keeps the cast masters,** however, which are sometimes in metal and sometimes resin. There is a slight loss of detail when transferring to the master cast from the original green, so we had Lewis painstakingly hand-sculpt those details back into the models.
Even though they aren’t totally new models, it is nice to get some reworks to make things easier to build and slightly more detailed.
This also meant cutting them up slightly differently, as the manufacturing process for resin is different to metal. He resculpted every rivet on the Bretonnian Trebuchet, the eye socket on every skull, sharpened all manner of other details, and even added some additional work.
Resculpting every rivet had to be a serious task, but it’s such a classic model, so it’s good to see it getting some love!
For example, there is now an inside to the Casket of Souls! He has had a lot of fun looking at these kits and working out what best to do.
This was already an amazing mini, and now, with a screaming soul on the inside, it’s even better!
Kit Redesigns
He also addressed the joints on the Tomb Scorpion to make it easier to assemble and more posable – it’s now all ball joints. He created a new third variant of the Carrion based on Trish’s*** original two. This allowed us to put them in a pack of three, which we think better serves how people will want to use them in the game.
The Tomb Scorpion was a pain to build, but with all ball joints, it should be easier now. Plus you could pose it how you want for conversions. Getting two Carrions was always odd, so we won’t complain about having an extra one either!
We also obviously took the opportunity to add an unreleased head to the Bone Giant kit, as we all thought it was very cool.
So while Warhammer: The Old World is mostly supported by this vast range of classic models, the entire team has poured enormous care and attention into getting their best ever versions out onto the tabletop. There will be a smattering of remastered models coming to the other core armies once each range gets its release, and there are loads of surprises returning on a Made to Order basis.
That is definitely a cool head on the Bone Giant, and it will be interesting to see different kits pop up from time to time as either MTO or just normal kits.
GW Releasing Models Missing Since 2008 For The Old World
There are even a few new models coming – but one of these has a longer history than you might expect. In fact, this Bretonnian Lord on Foot (and his little helper) were actually sculpted back in 2008, but never released. Until now.
With the game bringing back so many older models, it’s really cool to see some unreleased miniatures finally come to light!
This awesome model was made in 2008,” explains Old World Lead Rob. “It was shown at a Games Day around then, in a cabinet of greens.
“As we were writing the new game, someone remembered the miniature and inquired if it was still around. The mould room still had it, but it had never been pressed in rubber as far as we could tell, and they kindly made new master and production moulds so we could release him in metal.”
This model looks fantastic and has that very old-school Warhammer Fantasy feel. While the squire doesn’t have rules, we’re sure you could throw it into a foot soldier unit, and it would look great!
More Exclusive Minis Returning For Warhammer The Old World
And while there might not be other unreleased models coming to Warhammer: The Old World, he’s far from the only rarity to return. Many factions will receive a few surprises in this vein – and this isn’t the only noble knight on foot mustering for the Kingdom of Bretonnia.
While they didn’t say for sure this Exalted Hero of Chaos from the 2009 Games Day would be making a return, they did put in the sentence about more models coming back right below him!
Élisse Duchaard Model For Warhammer The Old World
Bretonnian Élisse Duchaard and majestic Unicorn mount were revealed for Warhammer The Old World at the NOVA Open GW Preview!
Élisse Duchaard bears all the symbols of her station – a golden grail, flowing robes of finest silk, and a mystical glowing sceptre. Her unicorn mount Ariandir needs no saddle, but is wreathed with vines and flowers that tighten his rider’s bond with nature.
This gorgeous resin miniature can trace its noble lineage back to previous Grail Damsels from Warhammer Fantasy Battles, though in the Old World Élisse Duchaard predates these characters, due to the time frame of the game.
From the looks of it, Elisse will be a resin character model, which we assume will be available from Forge World upon release.
News for Old World is few and far between, so every time a new model gets revealed, it’s pretty hype! That being said, reveals do seem to be getting slightly more frequent…
