Check out the confirmed pricing for the Eldritch Omens box set with all the new Chaos & Eldar miniatures that hits pre-order this weekend.
Get those hobby dollars ready if you want any of these pre-orders from Games Workshop that will go up for pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, February 5th, 2022 around 1 pm EST!
If you want the new Eldar and Chaos miniatures from Eldritch Omens box set, this might be the week for you to pre-order! Let’s get into all the confirmed pricing.
Eldritch Omens Box Set $200
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.
Depending on who you ask, it seems like they just arbitrarily raised the price of this box from $170 they charged just one month ago for Shadowthrone to $200 because… well I guess new miniatures?
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…
Also available this week on pre-order is something a little bigger…

Pariah $16 Paperback (Free on Audible Premium Plus)
The city of Queen Mab is built on twists and turns, mysteries and mendacity. Fitting, then, that Alizebeth Bequin finds herself here, embroiled within a serpentine plot. In this city of shades, Bequin is caught between two former allies – Gregor Eisenhorn and Gideon Ravenor.
As the line between friend and foe shifts and blurs, Bequin calls on help from a disparate group of allies to unpick the mysteries of her past so she can survive the present.
Dan Abnett’s Pariah, the first entry in the Bequin series, will be available for pre-order in paperback next week, though customers in Australia and New Zealand will have to wait a little longer.
Caught in the middle of Eisenhorn and his ideal apprentice Ravenor, Bequin is sounding like a thriller that could quickly become a favorite in the Black Library community.
