gw-rumors-and-new-releasesHere is the latest Games Workshop new releases roadmap for February 2023, featuring tons of minis for most of the Warhammer games on the way!

Love GW miniatures? The new Games Workshop releases roadmap is back and more loaded than ever. We’re not joking either we mean loaded; there are a ton of minis on the way!

Here’s the most up-to-date list of new Games Workshop bits from preview models to keep an eye out for. Click on the gallery above to see dozens of Rumor Engines with new models still to be revealed!

GW New Release Roadmap For February 2023

aos banner age of sigmar logo

Tons of New AoS Seraphon Models Unveiled at LVO 2023!

New Seraphon ModelsFirst up, we have the awesome new Slann Starmaster mini!

This has a lot of similar design elements to what we’ve seen before, but cranked up to 11. Read More Here!

New Saurus Warriors

New Seraphon ModelsThis is a pretty sweet rework, where they kept the original idea and feel of the models, but really made them better.

New Seraphon ModelsObviously, with all these minis, they will get a new battletome in 2023. Read More Here!

Raptadon Chargers & Hunters

New AoS Roadmap

New Seraphon Models

There are a ton of new battletomes on the way for AoS, and they promised basically two a month through the summer!

AoS Cities of Sigmar Dawnbringer Previews!

Cities of sigmar Preview

Unfortunately, they do say in the article that this is still a long way off. Even going as far as to say we will not see them this year. But let’s hope they don’t push too far into 2023.

New Warcry Bloodhunt & Underwolds Boxes are on the Way!

Warcry bloodhuntFirst, we have the new Warcry Bloodhunt box with Soulblight Gravelords and Blades of Khorne!

Warcry bloodhunt

 

Warcry bloodhuntThese vampires are a little different and thrive off hunting the biggest beasts out there! They even said sometimes they would lock themselves with mortals in a room and see if they could resist the urge for blood, so definitely something we’ve not seen before. Read More Here!

Warcry & Underworlds Roadmap For 2023

AoS Roadmap 2023 6

 

Underworlds Roadmap

Over in the Gnarlwood, there are two more Warcry expansions to come in the current season – entitled Bloodhunt and Nightmare Quest. Warhammer Underworlds is expecting one more warband and the Beastbound Assault rivals deck.

So, they didn’t really give too much on these, more or less just a promise of more. So not too much to dive into, honestly, other than the fact they promise more will be on the way.

9th warhammer 40k banner

Space Marines Primaris Desolation Squad

New Space Marines ReleasesWhile these new Desolation Space Marines aren’t a super surprise, it’s still nice to see the actual miniatures revealed! We’ve seen rules rumors, a rumor engine, and a shrouded pic of these for a long time now… Read More Here!

Space Marines Primaris Brutalis Dreadnought

New Space Marines ReleasesThey said this will be a successor to the Furioso Dreadnought, but every chapter can take them. Read More Here!

New Space Marine Primaris Lieutenant

New Space Marines Releases

 

New Space Marines Strike Force Agastus 6We were nervous at first, but GW came through and revealed another Space Marines Lieutenant kit! They said this has a ton of options and will have many weapon load-outs. Read More Here!

New Space Marines Strike ForceAgastus Box Set

New Space Marines Releases

 

New Space Marines Releases

The Space Marines will also be grabbing this box with all the new minis and what they call a new booklet which we assume is a small paperback codex. They didn’t say much about the booklet itself, but we assume they will have all the new rules in there, similar to the Shadowspear box back in 2019. Read More Here!

Wrath of the Soul Forge King Box Set Revealed!

Wrath of the Soul Forge King

 

Wrath of the Soul Forge KingThey didn’t give us a ton of info on this one, but we do know both Vashtor and Azrael will be inside! So, if you want either of the new models, this will be the earliest way for you to grab either of them. Read More Here!

GW Reveals Shrouded Warhammer 40k Minis & What’s Next For 2023!

Warhammer Community unveiled the new models, so let’s get into what they might be

Warhammer 40k 2023 minis 2

Our look ahead at the Arks of Omen series revealed a fourth book lurking beyond the shadows, its details shrouded by decree of the Ordo Xenos. What dreadful alien threat could cause such drastic action to be taken, so far beyond the Imperium’s sight?

Talking about Xenos, this looks like it would be something for Eldar, Tau, or maybe if GW gets crazy, an Exodite Army even (check out the rumors here)! Exodites are sort of like Eldar, who left before the fall and are much more in tune with nature. Maybe the trees are a giveaway to that?

Or perhaps it’s none other than Commander Farsight getting that 2020’s glow-up like so many other characters…

Warhammer 40k 2023 minis 5This sneaky fellow could be a rework for Snikrot or any Kommando, but it definitely looks Orky, and we would love to see a new Snikrot model!  Read More Here about the new models

3 New Arks of Omen Box Sets Revealed By GW

GW revealed three new Arks of Omen box sets made specifically for playing boarding action games, but could also be used for regular 40k.
The only one still to release is the Chaos Boarding Patrol. Read More Here

World Eaters Combat Patrol

World Eaters Combat Patrol

While Chaos Space Marines are limited to a single Chaos Lord per Detachment, the World Eaters aren’t subject to such petty jealousy. They can field as many beast-bound Lords as their HQ slots allow, meaning you can muster the complete contents of two Combat Patrols – all without needing to spend any Command points on the new Heroic Support Stratagem. 

This looks like a decent Combat Patrol, with plenty of troops and just a lot of minis. So, it should be a pretty good pickup for new players getting into the faction!

Plus, they say this will be available in just a few weeks, so let’s hope that means three maximum and not more! Read more here!

Imperial Guard Combat Patrol

imperial gaurd combat patrolIn the codex, Games Workshop described an Imperial Guard Combat patrol using the image of the models that came in the Cadia Stands army box. So we assume that may be the contents of the actual upcoming box set, minus the codex book and data cards. Read more here!

New Attilan Rough Riders Models

Warhammer Community unveiled the new Attilan Rough Rider Imperial Guard minis and a rule for what they can do on the charge!

Attilan Rough Riders 4

They really took the old look and revamped it, so pretty sweet to see the direction they are going with them. Read more here!

Imperial Guard Cadian Accessory Set Upgrade Sprue

Warhammer Community unveiled the new bits and some ways you can use the sprue to make different minis. Let’s check it out.

Imperial Guard Cadian Upgrade Sprue

There really are a ton of bits, and from the sounds of it, it will be a separate kit (they say it will be released hot on the heels of the Cadian kit). You could probably grab just a couple of these and have enough for most of your army.

If we look back at the Black Templars kit, it runs for $35, so we expect this to be a similar price. Read More Here

Imperial Guard Aegis Defence Line

Aegis Defence LineThe kit itself looks pretty cool; we’ll have to see the price before making any final judgments. Especially considering this is only 40 points. Either way, it will make for an excellent terrain piece, especially with how modular it appears. Read more here!

TEXT-Sucrose-Horizontal-banner-MTO-Mystery-box

Vashtorr The Arkifane (Separate Release)

As a new “brain” to Chaos operations, this faction might just become more and more deadly for the Imperium. Hopefully, these new Arks of Omen books will give us more details and perhaps how the Imperium will fight back against this new Chaos surge.

Leave it to Be’lakor to not like new Chaos toys… He always was a stickler. BUUUT, this new guy looks amazing, and not even the First Daemon Prince can deny that! Read more here!

New Primaris Chapter Master Azrael Warhammer 40k Miniature: (Separate Release)

Warhammer Community gifted the latest details on Christmas Morning 2022 about the new 40k Primaris Chapter Master Azrael.

Primaris Chapter Master Azrael Warhammer 40k Miniature

Abaddon and Vashtorr’s plan to destroy the Imperium has caught the Dark Angels in its jaws. Still recovering from crossing the Rubicon Primaris, Azrael has taken up the legendary Sword of Secrets and his master-crafted combi-plasma, The Lion’s Wrath.

It looks like the new model will be part of the upcoming Arks of Omen releases that hobbyists hope will lead us into the 10th Edition 40k in the summer of 2023.

 

Primaris Chapter Master Azrael Warhammer 40k Miniature 2

Scale-wise, he got his swole on when he jumped to Primaris, but the styling remains the same from the Original model from the 1990s. Read More Here!

new horus heresy logo banner

New Horus Heresy Esoterist Consul Model Revealed By GW!

The model comes from this Warhammer Community post.

Esoterist Consul

With the Heresy in full swing, the Traitor Legions are free to explore the forbidden arts anew – and the Esoterist Consul steps out from the shadows. No matter how fiercely the Emperor suppressed the Primordial Truth, there were always those willing to explore the Immaterium’s secrets – whether to ward off its eldritch denizens, or harness their unnatural power.  Read More Here!

New Horus Heresy Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer Revealed!

Horus Heresy Cerberus Heavy Tank DestroyerThis was another shaded mini from the New Year’s preview, and it’s pretty much what we expected!

Horus Heresy Cerberus Heavy Tank DestroyerThis is obviously made for destroying tanks; just look, it has a triple-barreled neutron laser battery! Read more here!

New Horus Heresy Sky-hunter Squadron Revealed By GW!

The new minis were revealed in this Warhammer Community post.

Sky-hunter Squadron 2

The Scimitar Jetbikes of the Age of Darkness are modifications of complex pre-Imperium designs. Essentially compact aircraft with the addition of grav-impellors, they rush your Space Marines into combat at great speed. And soon you’ll be able to add them to your army in plastic. 

These are just fun models, and jetbikes are just always cool! It appears they will have a decent number of weapons options in the kit to boot! Read more here!

Horus Heresy Alpha Legion Exodus Assassin Revealed!

Alpha Legion Exodus Assassin

Sometimes, however, clever disguises and unseen infiltration aren’t a match for power armour, and a really big gun designed for the express purpose of annihilating Astartes is what you need. Enter Exodus, the Assassin.

The model itself is pretty sweet and the sniper rifle is basically as big as the entire model! If you have to punch through power armor and destroy your enemy, you need the firepower and range. Read more here!

Typhon Tank

Warhammer Community unveiled the preview and the new shrouded pics; let’s take a closer look!

Typhon Heavy Siege Tank

The Typhon Heavy Siege Tank is rumbling towards the front lines as we speak, and already the clamour of war echoes just over the New Year’s horizon. What else is in store for the Legions battling for the fate of the fledgling Imperium in 2023?

GW has been previewing every major game for 2023, and now it looks like 40k is really the only thing we have left after this preview! The Typhon Heavy Siege Tank is actually built on the Spartan chassis, but with a few extra sprues.

If you want to see more details about the Typhon, you can check that out here.

Necromunda banner

A New Necromunda Outland Beastmaster Announced By GW!

Warhammer Community unveiled the new minis along with some of what they can do.  Let’s take a closer look!

If that weren’t enough, there are even more breeds of Beastmaster on the loose, and they’ve found some other nasty vermin to pal about with – Millisaurs.

These ichorous invertebrates were likely smuggled onto Necromunda centuries ago – courtesy of the planet’s lax import controls – to help clear debris and other critters from mining tunnels. Left unchecked, the voracious worms have by now spread across much of the planet, from outland ore-pits to underhive sump-nests. 

New Escher Hangers-on

Escher hangers on

Paying heed to a Shivver’s precognitive talents can save a gang from tragedy or lead them to great riches. Of course, the future isn’t always clear, and a Shivver can sometimes give misleading predictions. That tall, moody stranger about to crash into your life could always be arampaging Ogryn.

 

Escher hangers on 2

Joining the new Shivver miniature is the Apprentice Clan Chymist. House Escher knows that the best way to learn all about poisons and toxins is through trial-and-error,* so they put their aspiring alchemists on the front lines with the gangs to pick up some practical experience.

Escher Upgrade Packs

Escher upgrades

Give your gang a fighting chance with the Escher Ash Wastes Upgrades pack from Forge World – a 30-piece resin toolkit guaranteed to make your matrons stand out in their next wasteland dust-up.

Breathing what passes for ‘fresh air’ on Necromunda isn’t recommended, and each of the 10 new heads cover their mouths with respirators, masks, or very optimistic bandanas. Presumably they’re also equipped with industrial-strength hair gel, to keep those bombastic bouffants from being blasted by ash wastes weather.

Escher upgrades 2

Experienced Eschers never leave home without a supply of stims and chems from the Apprentice Clan Chymist – doubly so when a faulty Cutter jetbike might mean a long trek back to civilisation. A good backpack is perfect for carrying flasks, blades, and outlands trophies – plus a few bottles of Emperor-knows-what for the road.

Necromunda Chronos Pattern Ironcrawler

Warhammer Community unveiled the newest model for the game and some of what to expect in the way of rules.

Chronos Pattern Ironcrawler

This looks pretty cool, and from the sounds of it, this will have a similar base kit to the Cargo-8 and then have a few upgrade packs included.

Read more here!

New Necromunda Underhive Traders Coming Soon!

Underhive Traders

Who doesn’t want some elusive goods for their gang? It’s always nice to get a leg up on your enemies, and these can really help! It does seem like you can only hire one at a time, so if you’re nice, maybe you can lend out the other minis to your buddies.

Read more here!

New Necromunda House Cawdor Ridge Walkers

House Cawdor PreviewsFrom the looks of it, you’ll grab four Necromunda Cawdor Ridge Walkers in the box, which makes sense since they really aren’t too big. In the stream, they also mentioned there are going to be a ton of bits, so hopefully, you’ll be able to kitbash these!

Read more here!

New Necromunda Lady Haera Will Try to Take the Throne!

Necromunda Lady Haera

This is actually a pretty wild mini, and she could be used in some serious dioramas. Plus, if you throw her down with your gang, the other dregs might just bow down to her!

She loves to go out and destroy, so if your friend’s gang is getting a little uppity, she might be the lady to knock them down a peg!  Read More Here

 

40k kill team banner

Adeptus Arbites & Dark Eldar Coming to 40k Kill Team!

Adeptus Arbites Kill TeamLike all the Kill Team releases, it will be a little while after this comes out that you can grab the models on their own in individual box sets.

Adeptus Arbites Kill Team

The Arbites will have a bunch of cool options, and we expect the box to come with a ton of bits.

Adeptus Arbites Kill TeamThey mentioned all the Arbites are pretty tough, have good armor, and can smash through anyone standing in their way.

Adeptus Arbites Kill TeamUnfortunately, there won’t be totally new Kabalites, but they will grab an upgrade sprue to make them a bit more unique!

There is already a ton of bits in the normal kit, but this adds even more.

Again, this is another shrouded mini released from the New Year’s preview, so hopefully, we will get the rest soon.

Read More Here!

Into the Dark: Individual Releases

First up, there was an announcement for a brand new Warhammer 40k Kill Team boxset called “Into The Dark.” That box was released on September 10th, 2022, but we’re still waiting on the individual box set releases, which should come out before the new year (fingers crossed).

Moloch releases came out after about three months had gone by, so hopefully, these follow a similar pattern.

into the dark imperial navy breachers

As highly trained and specialized units, expect the Imperial Navy Breachers to be a pretty elite force.

into the dark kroot farstalker kindband

The Tau empire also has a stake in the boxset in the form of Kroot, who might just be more of a threat than we think.

Necrons Hierotek: Shadowvaults Kill Team Announced Individual Releases

Necron Hierotek Circles Kasrkin Kasrkin The stream mentioned the multipart versatility found in the Kasrkin Kit and that the Necron half of the box will contain several previously released kits along with never before seen upgrade sprues.

Necron Hierotek Circles

Not to be left out, this exciting new Kill Team set will include exclusive terrain pieces designed to spice up your games of skirmish combat.

Games Workshop Announces New 2023 Event-Exclusive Miniatures!

GW exclusive miniatures 2023

From the 41st Millennium comes The Commissar’s Duty. This vignette depicts an absolutely iconic scene – an Astra Militarum Commissar with his sword planted in the battlefield rubble, standing tall as he delivers the Emperor’s Justice. Is he aiming at a foe, or at a Guardsman who needs to be made into an example?

He’s got a full tactical rock this time that he can stand on! Seriously though, this is a pretty cool model, and while it’s a little static, it should be striking on the battlefield.

GW exclusive miniatures 2023 2

Out of the Mortal Realms charges Tolgar Split-Eye, a frenzied Darkoath warrior sporting a natty eye-patch and swinging two huge axes. He also comes with an alternative head for building a nameless Darkoath Chieftain, which trades flowing locks for a fine beard.

This guy is a lot more dynamic and with those giant axes, should be a good addition to your forces.

Read More Here!

Exclusive Primaris Company Champion

Warhammer Community announced the new models and some of the events you can get them at, such as AdeptiCon. Let’s check out the minis you can score in 2022!

exclusive Minis

For Warhammer 40,000 comes the sword-swinging Primaris Company Champion. These formidable warriors of the Adeptus Astartes defend their chapter’s honour on the battlefield, armed with a devastating master-crafted power sword and skills honed over countless duels.

Exclusive Swampcalla Shaman

exclusive Minis 3

For Warhammer Age of Sigmar, meet Mugruk Da Watcha! This Swampcalla Shaman believes he’s found a new way of observing the battlefield using a special seeing-eye rock, but it’s really nothing more than a neat hat.

Exclusive Inquisitor Erasmus Cartavolnus

You can grab the new exclusive Inquisitor and Gutrippa Boss minis this year at Games Workshop store anniversary events!

 Click to get yours on Amazon or eBay

new exclusive inquisitor

This is honestly pretty cool with the huge flame exploding from the book and giant sword. While the pose itself isn’t super dynamic, all the extra pieces of flair make up for it. We’ll have to see if they come up with any rules for him, but probably not.   Still, he would be a cool Inquisitor to add to your forces.

GW Exclusive Gutrippa Boss Haggok

Gutrippa Boss

It takes a wily creature to command the respect of a Kruleboyz Gutrippa mob, and Haggok is always on the lookout for his latest would-be usurper to pre-emptively run through. With a (mostly) tame vulture keeping its beady eyes open for incoming threats, Haggok has time to relax a little and survey the battlefield, leaning casually on his skareshield. He fits in perfectly with your existing Gutrippa warbands, and as a unit leader, he has a more refined air than your average Kruleboy can muster.

It’s nice, at least this year, to see something other than Necrons or Space Marines get the minis! He’s not the most exciting model, but still pretty cool. If for nothing other than the vulture! We also saw Gutrippa Boss Haggok long ago as he was hidden in plain sight and in a rumor engine (or two).

Warhammer Plus Year 2 Miniatures Revealed!

With our two guesses, we were almost dead on! Warhammer Community has just shown off the two models.

MIbyllorr Darkfang chaos sorceressFirst up is Mibyllorr Darkgfang, a brand new Chaos Sorceress model and the one we couldn’t do as much digging about. We did, however, know it was a new Sorceress!

Azrakh the Annihilator

The second model was exactly what we thought. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Exclusive Miniatures For Warhammer Stores 2023

Warhammer Exclusive Miniatrues 2023

It’s nice to see Leagues of Votann getting an exclusive mini! They even say he will have the special Legends rules, which is somewhat rare. Obviously, you can just play him as a Kahl, but it will be nice to have a little datasheet when you buy him.

Read more here!

Warhammer Exclusive Miniatrues 2023 2They don’t say he’ll have special rules, but that’s not the end of the world. As we said, you’ll have to go to the store during their anniversary to score these minis. We’re sure they will be on the secondary market at some point, but they will probably be more expensive.

Paragon Warsuit JOYTOYThey also mentioned there will be alloy in this, so we expect some kind of metal, but we aren’t quite sure where or how much.
