Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This multipart plastic kit builds one Chaos Lord on Karkadrak, an ideal unit for tearing through enemy lines and taking out the toughest of foes. Anything lucky enough to survive the Lord’s wicked blades will be torn to shreds by his mount’s claws. This kit comes with a choice of heads so you can personalise your army’s commander by fielding him with or without a helmet.
This kit comprises 22 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 90x52mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly
This poor guy has been stuck in the start collecting box for a loooooong time, so finally seeing him release separately is a big upgrade.
Eternus, Blade of The First Prince (also Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount)Retail Price: $60
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This multipart plastic kit builds Eternus, Blade of the First Prince – the immortal enforcer of Be’lakor’s will. This imposing champion of the Dark Master is mounted atop his rearing daemonic mount, the mighty Drakocephalus, and wields both a rune-marked deathglaive and a gruesome skull flail. His ornate armour is adorned with leering daemonic faces befitting the First Prince’s chosen agent, while four pennants hang at his back in a mockery of knightly glory, fluttering in the foul wind of the Cursed Skies.
This kit can alternatively build a Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount, armed with either a Chaos lance or cursed warhammer.
This kit comprises 71 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 90x52mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly
This model is sweet! And with Be’lakor being so good, this model will hopefully do well right beside him.
Exalted Hero of Chaos Retail Price: $35
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This multipart plastic kit builds an Exalted Hero of Chaos – an ambitious champion risen from the ranks of the Chaos Warriors. Clad in sinister armour with a cloak billowing in its wake, this model is posed with one weapon raised in a clear challenge. The Exalted Hero can be armed with either paired axes of the dark champion, or a rune-etched blade and Chaos runeshield – which can optionally be adorned with the chain-strung heads of slain enemies. The kit also includes the choice of a helmeted head with mighty horns, or a bare head with a flowing topknot and mutated spikes.
This kit comprises 13 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly
As a more basic foot slog leader, this isn’t a bad option (it’s cheaper to field too).
Chaos Chosen Retail Price: $60
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This multipart plastic kit builds five Chaos Chosen – hardened warriors for Slaves to Darkness armies in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Each of these deadly fighters is armed with a soul splitter – accursed two-handed weapons in the form of hammers, axes, mauls, and greatswords – and clad in ornate plate armour. One model can be built as an Exalted Champion, one as a Skull Drummer musician, and another as an Icon Bearer with either a flag or eight-pointed star – the kit includes five alternate sigils to dedicate your icon to Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Tzeentch, or Chaos Undivided. The other two models can be built with a choice of weapons, and the kit includes eight helmeted and four bare heads to choose from, allowing you to easily personalise your Chaos Chosen.
This kit comprises 86 plastic components, and is supplied with 5x Citadel 40mm Round bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
With the army box getting separated, Chosen are also in their own kit now!
Chaos Warriors Retail Price: $60
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Chaos Warriors – the armoured core of the Everchosen’s legions, formidable on the defence and fearsome on the assault. Each Chaos Warrior carries a Chaos runeshield, and can be armed with either a murderous weapon – in the form of a sword, axe, maul, or hammer – or a long-handled, ensorcelled halberd. The kit also provides components to build one model as an Aspiring Champion with a unique murderous weapon and a choice of unique heads, as well as a Hornblower musician and a Standard Bearer with a choice of two banners and two Chaotic sigils.
The kit includes a wide variety of different helmets, bare heads, poses, runeshields, weapons, and halberd heads, all of which are entirely interchangeable – allowing you to ensure your Chaos Warriors look totally unique no matter how large your Chaotic legion grows.
This kit comprises 97 plastic components, and is supplied with 10x Citadel 32mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted
This has also been a long time coming, but now the basic Warriors are finally able to be bought on their own with a new musician and standard miniature as well!
Chaos Knights Retail Price: $65
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This multipart plastic kit builds five Chaos Knights – elite, bone-crushing cavalry sworn to the Ruinous Powers. These mounted warriors wield cursed lances and Chaos runeshields, outfitted with menacing armour and ornate barding. Cloaks billowing behind them, hooves kicked up in a charge, these models convey a terrifying momentum atop their warped war steeds. The kit includes components to build one model as a Doom Knight champion, who can be armed with a cursed flail or ensorcelled warhammer instead of a lance, and comes with a choice of alternate helmets as well as a unique runeshield and steed head. You can also build one model as a Hornblower musician, and another as a Standard Bearer with a large flag topped by one of five Chaotic sigils – one each for Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, and Chaos Undivided.
This kit comprises 74 plastic components, and is supplied with 5x Citadel 75x42mm Oval Bases. These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted
As the end of the old start collecting, anyone can pick up the Knights separately, and with more options than the once from that box to boot!
Ogroid Theridons Retail Price: $65
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This multipart plastic kit builds three Ogroid Theridons – ferocious warriors who loom above most mortal soldiery. Each Theridon can be armed with your choice of brutal weaponry – either a two-handed goroan great axe, or a goroan falchion and shield. The kit also includes components to build one model as a Thorakon champion with a unique shield boss, and to assemble the other two models as a proud Banner Bearer and a horn-blowing Charge-caller musician.
You’ll find plenty of cosmetic options to mix up your Ogroid Theridons – the kit’s shields, pauldrons, and axe heads are entirely interchangeable, as are the five different faces and five sets of horns. There are also five Chaotic sigils – for Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Slaanesh, and Chaos Undivided – to adorn the Thorakon’s armour, and another five you can choose from to cap the Banner Bearer’s standard.
This kit comprises 96 plastic components, and is supplied with 3x Citadel 50mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
And finally, as the last part of the Army Box, the Theridons are now also available separately for anyone who wants to get them.

Tons of Warhammer Box Sets Going For Super Cheap on eBay
This month on eBay we found some of the best prices on Warhammer 40k we’ve ever seen! If you find something you want from this list, it is probably the cheapest price around by far.
There are a bunch of deals, including Gargants at nearly $70 off, Nachmund at a crazy deal, Eldritch Omens at almost half price, and more! Check it out.
Mega-Gargants
The Gargants are going for $210 right now, which means this is just an insane deal! This is the deepest discount we’ve seen on the box, so if you want to build some Gargants, you really can’t go wrong with this! As of right now, there are a decent number of boxes left, but we assume at this price they are going to go really fast.
Eldritch Omens
At this price, this is just an insane deal! There are six units inside the box and at this price, each is under $20. If you know a friend who would want the other side of the box, you’ll get a ton of minis for only $60 each. This is probably the best price we’ve found for this box so far!
Ash Wastes
This is $100 off the original price, so if you want to get into Necromunda or the Ash Wastes expansion system, this is hard to beat. We did a value breakdown, and the box has about $465 of value inside, so for $200, you can’t go wrong.
Warhammer 40k Terrain
They have two sets available, and both are pretty sweet deals! Octarius is selling for $112 on GW’s site right now, so almost half-price. While Chalnath isn’t quite as good of a deal, still much cheaper than the MSRP! That’s all for this one store, but there are plenty of other deals out there still!
Knight Dominus:
Currently, this bad boy goes for $170 on the Games Workshop site, a savings of nearly $50 or 30% off. Thats a solid deal for a very cool model that can make both versions of Dominus Class Knights.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Knight Castellan, a titanic long range Lords of War choice for your Imperial Knights army – or a wandering Freeblade for other Imperium forces. This super-heavy walker is armed with a blast-unleashing plasma decimator, an armour-melting volcano lance, and an array of carapace-mounted meltaguns, shieldbreaker cannons, and missiles. The Knight Castellan makes a fantastic painting project and centrepiece, and offers a range of poses, face plates, and armour pieces, allowing you to create a truly unique engine of war. This kit can also be assembled as a Knight Valiant, as well as a Knight Tyrant for Chaos Knights.
Kill Team Nachmund:
This box is currently going for about $30 over cost, which is just wild considering how much you get inside, especially the terrain.
Keep in mind there has been a price increase since this released, so there is even more value to be had now.
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 around 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.
