New GW Releases, Battleforces & Bundles: Pricing

By Rob Baer | December 18th, 2022 | Categories: 40k News & Articles, Warhammer Rumors & News

Don’t miss the last few weeks of new releases as Games Workshop is taking us back to Cursed City, and we show you some of the best deals out there for miniatures!

Games Workshop revealed no “new” releases that went up for pre-order on Saturday, December 17th, at 1 PM Eastern time here in the states.

However, if you missed them the first time, you can order the two Curse City Expansions again alongside the following holiday deals!

New Pre-order: Cursed City Expansions Made-To-Order

Warhammer Quest: Cursed City Nightwars and Nemesis Made to Order

The Cursed City expansions sold out much faster than expected, and we didn’t want to deprive our heroes of the chance to purge Ulfenkarn of the Soulblight menace once and for all.

Cursed City: Nightwars and Cursed City: Nemesis are being resurrected on a Made to Order basis this month – returning to life between the 17th and the 27th of December only. There’s no limit on how many are available, but the order window will slam shut at 8am GMT on Tuesday the 27th of December – so get your orders in before.

Please note that customers in Japan will get their own Made to Order opportunity a little later than the rest of the world, because Nemesis is launching there next year.

Both sets magnify the Cursed City experience with fresh quests, loot, villains, encounters, tokens, and surprises. They do not contain any miniatures, but the quests are modular so you can buy each villain in turn as you seek to end their sordid unlife once and for all. To play Nemesis you’ll require a copy of Nightwars, but not vice versa.

These Made To Order products will be available in English-language versions only.

While this is ultimately a money-making move from Games Workshop, it’s still a big positive for players, which we love to see!

Space Marine 2 Video Game Pre-Order

Right now, it looks like you can only select the collector’s edition, but you’ll also get a hand-painted figure with it as well!

You can wishlist the game now on Steam, Xbox, and Playstation. For those who really want to celebrate the return of Titus, there’s a monstrous Collector’s Edition available to pre-order exclusively on the Focus web store.

The price is a little high, but they always are for the collector’s editions. Let’s hope we see the regular price before too long. Here’s everything you get in the collector’s edition:

Pre-order the Collector’s Edition of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 now to get a statue of Lieutenant Titus fighting a Tyranid, a 64-page hardcover book, a Steelbook, and the game on the platform of your choice with the Macragge’s Chosen DLC!

Check out the video below for more angles of the figure, or you can jump on the pre-order here!

New GW Releases, Pre-Orders, Battleforces & Bundles: Pricing

Here are all the new Games Workshop Warhammer releases from mid-November that are still available across platforms, with links to where you can still find them.

Most of these Games Workshop releases are orderable, but they might be low on stock or higher in price already on the secondary market. So be sure to check out all of the offerings and pick up anything you might want while they are still available…

Some of these may also still be available on GW’s store, but they are often cheaper when the allocations were favorable from stores elsewhere. Of course, if you can get them at your LGS at a discount, that may be a great place to spend your hobby dollars as well!

Warhammer 40k & AoS Box Set Deals Super Cheap on eBay

We recently showcased all of these Games Workshop box sets that are going for super cheap on eBay, with the biggest value being in the Black Templars army box, which we’ll take a look at first.

Black Templars Army Box:

Containing 13 miniatures, 12 of which are available for the first time in this very box, this is the perfect place to start a Black Templars army or build on your existing force. Leading the charge is the stunning new Emperor’s Champion, and ensuring that the correct vows are uttered and devotions followed is a Marshal.

This originally retailed for $199, so if you get it from eBay, you’ll actually save 50%! Which actually gives you a bunch of great value! If you’ve been looking to start a new army or pump yours up, you can’t really go wrong with this.

Especially considering one Primaris Crusader Squad box goes for $60 alone!

Chalnath Kill Team Box Set:

This went for $170, so while not as big of a discount as the Black Templar box, this is still a pretty sweet deal and can get you into Kill Team on the cheap complete with terrain and two squads!

Dominion Box Set:

There are a bunch of these listings, which makes sense, as these didn’t do so well when they were released in 2021. Still, this is a great deal at about $100-$110 and will get you an insane number of minis for that price! In theory, you get almost $400 in value at this price, so hard to pass up if you want to play either Stormcasts or Kruleboyz!

Into the Dark:

This originally went for $210, so it’s a great deal at this price! Especially considering these are still extremely new minis (and not available on their own at the time of writing this). You’ll still get a lot of minis for fairly cheap, including the new breached models for the Imperial Navy.

If they appeal to you, don’t miss these Warhammer 40k and AoS box sets and bundle deals that are going for super cheap on eBay right now!

Here are the latest new Games Workshop releases with order links!

GW Extended Pre-orders: November 12th

New Imperial Guard Army Box & Christmas Mini Pricing & Links

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.”

Luckily, the price has stayed the same as recent boxes instead of going up, which is always good to see.

Cadia Stands: Astra Militarum Army Set Retail Price: $200

The set includes the following multipart plastic miniatures:

– 1x Cadian Command Squad, comprising 5x models
– 20x Cadian Shock Troops
– 1x Armoured Sentinel, which can also be built as a Scout Sentinel
– 2x Ordnance Teams

Also included:

– Codex: Astra Militarum – 154-page hardback book with gloss art and a limited edition soft-touch cover
– Datacards: Astra Militarum – 63 cards including 7 Universal Stratagems, 31 Astra Militarum Stratagems, 6 Regimental Orders, 6 Prefectus Orders, 6 Mechanised Orders, 6 Psykana Discipline psychic powers, and 1 Smite psychic power
– 1x Cadian Transfer Sheet, containing 597 individual transfers

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly

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!

Be sure to check out our ideas on how much value will come inside this box by clicking here on our breakdown article!

Ork Goff Rocker Retail Price: $35

This festive Commemorative Series miniature has no specific rules or battlefield role in games of Warhammer 40,000, however, you are free to use the Goff Rocker miniature as a Boy, Nob, Flash Git, or any other appropriate role found within Codex: Orks.

This 10-piece plastic kit contains the components required to build one Goff Rocker miniature. It requires assembly and is supplied unpainted

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.

GW New Releases: November 19th

New Chaos Lord MTO Pricing

As we said, there are a lot of products on MTO right now, which means it can take up to 180 days to get, so just keep that in mind when ordering your stuff.

Here are all the pricing and links for the new Chaos MTO Age of Sigmar releases for Games Workshop that went on sale November 19th, 2022

Archaon, Lord of the End Times MTO From GW: $50

Archaon may have grown in size and spikes since destroying the World-that-Was, but his classic miniature is now back in metal. Whether you’re looking for a painting challenge or want to use him as a Chaos Lord in your new Slaves to Darkness army, this iconic miniature is a great addition to any Chaos collection.

As easily one of my favorite old-school models, we might be a little biased, but none can argue this model’s importance to lore. From a collection standpoint, this might tickle a lot of fancies. And the best part is you can proxy him in as a chaos lord if you really want to!

Khorne Chaos Lord MTO From GW: $32

Claim skulls for Khorne with this classic champion, cast in metal. You can use him in your games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar as a Slaves to Darkness Chaos Lord – with the Mark of Khorne, obviously – or as an Aspiring Deathbringer in your Blades of Khorne force.

Even more easily played in AoS, this old Khorne lord still has an applicable Battlescroll to use in the current game! (although you’ll have to double-check the base size requirement)

Nurgle Chaos Lord MTO From GW: $32

Painters and hobbyists looking to pick up a classic sculpt can give praise to the Plaguefather! Field this metal champion in a Maggotkin of Nurgle army as a Lord of Plagues, or as a Chaos Lord marked by Nurgle to command your Slaves to Darkness. Or just grab one to try out a few new techniques for painting rust.

As one of the next few more unique and less-seen options, this Nurgle lord would fit right into a Maggotkin force!

Slaanesh Chaos Lord MTO From GW: $32

See if the path of excess leads to success with this classic Slaanesh Chaos Lord, cast in metal. Use him as an alternative Lord of Pain in your Hedonites of Slaanesh army, or command your Slaves to Darkness army as a Chaos Lord with the Mark of Slaanesh.

Continuing the trend, this Slanesh lord would probably look right at home in the current day Hedonites faction!

Tzeentch Chaos Lord with Familiar MTO From GW: $32

Just as planned, Tzeentch joins in the Made to Order fun. As with their brethren above, this metal Chaos Sorceror Lord can be used in a Slaves to Darkness army, or be added to your Disciples of Tzeentch as a Magister.

Tzeentch is probably right there with Khorne in terms of old models still matching the new aesthetics well, so feel free to use this guy as is in your current Tzeentch armies! (Just be wary of the slight scale changes)

Mounted Chaos Sorcerer MTO From GW: $42

Finally, there’s the classic Mounted Chaos Sorcerer, also cast in metal. They might not have rules for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, but they’re great for painters and collectors – or you could use them as a berobed Chaos Lord on a Daemonic Mount. With no specific markings, you could dedicate this miniature to any of the Chaos Gods* – or the powers Undivided – as you see fit.

All of the miniatures above are available on a Made to Order basis, starting next Saturday and ending on the 28th of November at 8am GMT. Please note that it can take up to 180 days to supply these models. Keep up to date with all the latest Citadel releases by signing up for our newsletter.

There isn’t really a battlescroll associated with this guy anymore, don’t let that stop you from proxying him in anyways! He is a sweet model too!

GW New Releases: November 26th

New AoS Battleforces, Warcry, BB, & More: Pricing & Links

However, the Cadia Stands Army Box just hit stores on Black Friday, November 25th, 2022, so you might want to look for it soon if you’re considering it

Curseling Retail Price: $35

Next up, the two new character models from the Arcane Cataclysm box are releasing separately! Unfortunately, these releases are delayed in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Curseling, Eye of Tzeentch – a powerful warrior melded with a daemonic entity. This eyeless Tretchlet erupts from the Curseling’s exposed flesh with a mane and tail of extravagant feathers, its twisted arms wielding a sorcerous staff and gripping its host’s head as though directing their gaze. The Curseling’s ornate armour is a testament to their martial skill, featuring delicate scales and Tzeentchian eye-symbols, with a curved blazing sword held ready in their remaining hand.

This kit comprises 10 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly

The Curseling is just a wild-looking miniature in general, but he fits right in alongside the Disciples of Tzeentch models.

Scinari Enlightener Retail Price: $33.50

This multipart plastic kit builds a Scinari Enlightener, a skilled master of mystical wisdom. This mage is posed floating above the ground, robes billowing behind them, with the burning Rune of Enthlai held in one hand. They wield a long, elegant crescent staff that can sear enemies with bolts of light, and have an Enlightener blade strapped to their back, ready to deliver a flurry of expert blows in combat. The kit includes a choice of two heads – one helmeted with an impressive crest, and a bare head with long braided hair and a delicate diadem.

This kit comprises eight plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly

The model itself is pretty cool but nothing too crazy, honestly. Still, nothing wrong with getting a new miniature for your army.

The first expansion for Warcry is here with the Sundered Fate box set featuring two new warbands! Unfortunately, all of the Warcry products this week are delayed in Japan.

Warcry: Sundered Fate Retail Price: $185

The stone-skinned cultists of the Jade Obelisk are on a mission to deface every statue and eviscerate every still-beating heart in the Gnarlwood, an act of desecration with which the stealthy scaled guardians in the Hunters of Huanchi take umbrage.

This boxed set contains:

– 64-page softcover Warband Tome: Stealth and Stone – with background, artwork, rules, quests, and campaigns for both of the two warbands in the box

– Jade Obelisk – 10 sinister stonecutters dedicated to casting down the idols of their enemies. These multipart plastic miniatures include 1x Nephrite Priestess, 1x Obelisk Bearer, 1x Idolarc, 3x Desecrators, and 4x Defacers with a variety of weapons

– 20x warband cards, including 2x ability cards, 3x divider cards, 7x fighter cards for the Hunters of Huanchi, and 7x fighter cards for the Jade Obelisk

Whether you’re jumping into Warcry for the first time or expanding on the collection you started with the Heart of Ghur box, Sundered Fate will have you playing skirmish battles between these two awesome warbands in a disturbing and deadly landscape. You will need a copy of the Warcry core rules to use the contents of this expansion box.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly

The new Hunters of Huanchi are packed with new scaly miniatures, while the Cultists of the Jade Obelisk are a new take on the traditional Chaos warband.

Ravaged Lands: Gnarlwood Watchcamp $112 (Webstore Only)

Available separately this week are the warbands from the Heart of Ghur box set, along with the terrain as well.

This multipart plastic scenery kit allows you to fight battles set in the carnivorous forests of Ghur, including the ruins of a Seraphon structure, with 10 pieces of modular terrain, including:
– 1x Watchtower
– 2x Gnarloaks with Rib Platforms
– 2x Rope Bridges
– 5x Obstacles with different designs, such as Ribcages, Ruins, Palisades, and Shattered Posts

These terrain pieces can be gluelessly linked in a variety of configurations, allowing you to adjust your Gnarloaks and Rope Bridges to suit each game. They are also fully compatible with other Gnarlwood terrain kits, allowing you to build, rearrange, and expand a sprawling forest for games of Warcry or Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

The box also includes a Gnarlwood battlefield mat – a double-sided 22″ x 30″ folding game board, the perfect size for games of Warcry. One side depicts a mouldering forest floor littered with hungry roots, scattered rocks, and the skull of a fallen beast, while the other depicts a ruin-strewn undergrowth with fleshy scrub, broken stones, and half-buried Seraphon carvings.

This set comprises 96 plastic components. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly

GW New Releases: December 4th

40k Christmas Battleforces, Necromunda, & More: Pricing & Links

Keep in mind they are releasing the Battleforces as two separate waves this time around, so the AoS ones are already on store shelves! Click here to see the lineup of Age of Sigmar ones that are on sale now!

Here’s the lineup and contents of the new Warhammer 40k Battleforces that are up for pre-order now. Click here to see all the values for each and how they stack up to the last six years’ worth of battleforces.

Battleforce: Adeptus Mechanicus – Elimination Maniple (Delayed In AUS & NZ) Retail Price: $210

Belisarius Cawl has packed himself up in a battleforce that’s full of surprises. And by surprises, we mean horrible guns and killer robots from humanity’s past. This box comprises 20 miniatures, including the Archmagos Dominus himself and more than enough death-dealing cyborgs.

Led by the top tech wizard around, this is a great pickup for new players or anyone who has yet to get Cawl.

Battleforce: Imperial Knights – Chainbreaker Lance (Delayed In AUS & NZ) Retail Price: $210

This clutch of Knights is a perfectly sized army project – it’s just a handful of miniatures, after all… The Chainbreaker Lance contains four Armiger-class knights led by Canis Rex, a legendary steed piloted by the equally epic Sir Hekhtur. For those of a less Freeblade persuasion, Canis Rex can also be constructed as any Questoris-class Knight.

The Knights box is a little more flexible and a pretty good buy, as the models are generic enough to want multiples.

Battleforce: Thousand Sons – Court of The Crimson King Retail Price: $210

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Magnus the Red
– 3x Exalted Sorcerers
– 20x Rubric Marines

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly

The first Chaos box has a good assortment of Thousand Sons models, and it’s even led by Magnus! That means it’s fantastic for new players but maybe a little harder to justify for someone who already owns Magnus.

Battleforce: Death Guard – Council of The Death Lord Retail Price: $210

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle
– 5x Blightlord Terminators
– 14x Plague Marines

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly

Like the T Sons, the Death Guard have their Primarch with them! Which is great for new players but might be a negative for anyone who already started getting models.

Battleforce: Adepta Sororitas – Sanctorum Guard Retail Price: $210

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Morvenn Vahl, Abbess Sanctorum of the Adepta Sororitas
– 6x Paragon Warsuits
– 5x Celestian Sacresants
– 10x Battle Sisters, accompanied by 1x Incensor Cherub, which can alternatively be built as Dominions or Celestians

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly

The Sisters follow suit with one of their leaders, but with more great models behind her, this might be a good pick-up for new and returning collectors of the faction.

Battleforce: Adeptus Custodes – Watchers of The Gate Retail Price: $210

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Captain-General Trajann Valoris
– 3x Vertus Praetors, one of which can be built as a Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike
– 3x Allarus Custodians, one of which can be built as a Vexilus Praetor in Allarus Terminator Armour and another as a Shield-Captain in Allarus Terminator Armour
– 15x Custodian Guards, which include components to build some as Shield-Captains and Vexilus Praetors

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly

Custodes look like a great box with quite a few models and only Trajan as the potential dupe purchase for existing players.

Battleforce: Imperial Fists – Bastion Strike Force Retail Price: $210

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Tor Garadon
– 3x Aggressors
– 15x Heavy Intercessors
– 2x Imperial Fists Primaris Upgrades frames

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.

Adeptus Mechanicus – Technoarcheologist Retail Price: $33.50

This multipart plastic kit builds one Technoarcheologist, a specialist Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Armed with a powerful eradication pistol and clad in hooded robes, this bionic sage is festooned with the tools, pouches, and sensors of their profession – including a disruptive omni-scrambler and the sparking servo-arc claw affixed to their backpack.

The kit comprises five plastic push-fit components, and is supplied with 1x Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly

Escher Cutters Retail Price: $47

This multipart plastic kit builds four Escher Cutters, lightning-fast jetbikes that can be added to any Escher gang. These ferocious flying machines boast a powerful front turbine with exposed engine cylinders, providing thrust for their sleek, bladed chassis. Each Cutter has a deadly gas trap launcher installed on its undercarriage, and sports a pair of mounted weapons on either side of the jetbike – you can choose between twin-linked grenade launchers, twin-linked heavy stubbers, or twin-linked plasma guns. The kit includes a choice of two different head designs and four interchangeable hairstyles, to give each of your Escher riders their own distinct appearance.

This set consists of 124 plastic components, and is supplied with 4x Citadel 60x35mm Oval Bases, each with a ball top flying stem. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly

These new Jet bikes are sweet, so Escher players rejoice they can keep up with the Goliaths now!

Grinkrak’s Looncourt Retail Price: $42

Grinkrak is ready to lead his Looncourt retainers into the Gnarlwood! This knightly band of brothers is motivated not by greed for shiny objects but by their king’s oratory (and a ‘healthy’ dose of consciousness-expanding mushrooms). All seven of these snivelling squires must work together to overcome the nasty foes they will face.

This set includes:
– 7x push-fit Grinkrak’s Looncourt miniatures – no glue required to assemble, cast in gloomy green plastic to stand out even when unpainted

Legiones Astartes: Scorpius Missile Tank Retail Price: $60

Requests for heavy artillery have been approved. The Scorpius Missile Tank is ready to roll onto the battlefields of the Horus Heresy and provide fire support. Even if it fails to turn a Tactical Squad into a smoking crater, it may still leave them pinned and unable to act.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Legion Scorpius, a mobile artillery piece built on the Deimos-pattern chassis. This tank’s turret-mounted missile system is loaded with rotary racks of explosive rockets, ready to saturate whole battlefield zones with a whirlwind of shrapnel and flames. Its launchers can be assembled at a variety of angles, to suggest a devastating volley of direct fire or an arcing salvo of munitions that will wipe out all but the heaviest infantry.

In addition to its twin-linked bolter and smoke launchers, this kit includes components to upgrade the Legion Scorpius with an extra pintle-mounted weapon – a havoc launcher, heavy bolter, heavy flamer, multi-melta, or a combi-weapon with five configurations (bolter, flamer, melta, plasma, or volkite) – as well as a searchlight, a dozer blade, a hunter-killer missile, and cosmetic options like towing hooks, sigils, and a choice of a Space Marine gunner, spotter, or closed hatch.

This kit comprises 125 plastic components, and is supplied with a Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 44 optional markings and icons for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists Legions. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly
