The Imperial Guard army box, Christmas mini, and more new releases are hitting pre-orders this weekend.
Get those hobby dollars ready if you want any of these new releases from Games Workshop that will go up for pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, November 12th, 2022, around 1 pm EST!
New Imperial Guard Army Box & Christmas Mini: FIRST LOOK
If you want any of those new Imperial Guard minis, this will be the earliest way to do it. You’ll also get early access to the codex, which GW indicated would not be sold separately until “next year.”
Cadia Stands: Astra Militarum Army Set
Prove that Cadia still stands as you start a new Astra Militarum force with this army set – which contains 28 completely new miniatures. It includes 20 Cadian Shock Troops, a five-man Cadian Command Squad, a Sentinel with Armoured and Scout Sentinel configurations, and two Field Ordnance Teams – the vanguard of a revamped Astra Militarum range.
With a gigantic 28 new minis, we’d be wrong not also to check out each new one!
All of the new models are sweet, and this new Command Squad is no different.
The new Field Ordinance Batteries look great too! there’s no mistaking the fear of being at the wrong end of these.
The Sentinel may not have come to mind for many people as a model needing an update, but this new kit looks great either way!
Finally, the bread and butter. These new Cadian Shock Troops look fantastic and much more detailed and dynamic than before, which will have a rippling effect on armies that use them as their backbone.
The box also includes an exclusive copy of the new Codex: Astra Militarum with a soft-touch cover starring Lord Solar Leontus, as well as 63 datacards to keep track of your Strategems, psychic powers, and Regimental Orders. Absolutely everything contained within is currently only available in this set – and won’t be sold separately until next year.
The army set has a 13-day pre-order window, meaning that it hits shelves on Black Friday – something for you to be really thankful for.
Luckily as with some other major releases, this pre-order is extended so that everyone who needs it can have time to get their hands on it!
Ork Goff Rocker
Celebrate the festive season and get rockin’ with this year’s Christmas miniature – the Goff Rocker. Based on a classic trio of models from years gone by, this characterful miniature is ideal as a display or narrative piece. He’ll be getting his own mini-games in our Christmas brochure, so you can even use him on the tabletop!
The Goff Rocker is available for pre-order from Saturday and will be on the shelf from the following Saturday. Anyone who orders him before New years Eve will be guaranteed to receive one.
As the “festive” model for this year, this is a great option for just one more fun mini-hobby project if that’s what you’re looking for.
