The rumors were right, Eldrich Omens and all is new Chaos & Eldar miniatures are going on up for pre-order this week along with the MTO Joytoy Warsuit!
Games Workshop just let us in on all the new releases that will be going up for pre-order this coming Saturday at 1 PM eastern here in the states.
Now let’s look at next week’s Pre-Order line-up from Warhammer Community.
Eldritch Omens Box Set Pre-Orders
There’s plenty to say about this excellent battlebox – and there’s not long left to wait to get your hands on the 16 miniatures split between two forces. 15 of these are brand new and currently only available in this box, and one is a classic Forgefiend, which you can also build as a melee-focused Maulerfiend.
The Aeldari half is commanded by the new multi-part Autarch. This unmatched warrior boasts a smorgasbord of loadout options, befitting one who has walked every Path of the Warrior and emerged with the skills to pay the bills.
Fifteen of the sixteen models get a facelift in this Eldritch Omens box set. It’s a very exciting day for Chaos and Eldar players as we haven’t seen an update in their sculpts in years, these do not disappoint!
They’re backed up by five detailed Rangers, complete with cameleoline cloaks, nasty long rifles, and plenty of kit choices. Three Shroud Runners add a dash of mobility, placing Rangers on speedy new Raptor jetbikes to snipe targets before screaming off into the distance.
Shroud Runners with snipers attached is a nasty combination! Seeing those rangers hit the table is going to give Eldar a whole new vibe on the battlefield.
He’s backed up by five surly new Chosen. Decked out with vicious weaponry and ornate armour, these elite Heretic Astartes are determined to give the Aeldari a terrible time. With a Forgefiend at their side, that might not be too remote a prospect.
Eldritch Omens also contains a 32-page booklet featuring datasheets, narrative missions, and a new Theatre of War for you to play out the battle for the Maiden world of Daethe. You’ll also get over 700 transfers, split between Aeldari emblems and Chaos Legion logos, which will let you detail your forces however you choose.
The story behind this box ties into the current Nachmund season of Warhammer 40,000, doubling as an excellent place to get started with either army, and a great narrative hook for the current season
You won’t need the speed of a Shroud Runner to put your pre-order in next week. Eldritch Omens comes with a Pre-order Weekend Promise, so if you pre-order this box at any point during the weekend, you’re guaranteed to receive a copy, even if we have to make more to get it to you.
So the good news here is they are putting this on pre-order guarantee, which is a great thing. The problem is that none of GW’s box sets have sold out since hobbyists started catching on to their excessive FOMO and paywall sales tactics starting with Kill Team Pariah Nexus.
Whether or not this box sells out will be a great test to see if consumer confidence in Games Workshop is back, or if the offering of a box of all new miniatures is not enough to get hobbyists to spend their hard-earned dollars on Valentines day weekend…
