Here’s the latest on all the new Warhammer 40k releases, including all the Christmas battleforces, available for pre-order next week!
Games Workshop has revealed all the new releases hitting pre-orders this Saturday, November 11th, at 1 PM Eastern time here in the States!
We’re getting in the Christmas spirit next week, as everyone’s favourite festive revolutionary returns, and brings a sack full of goodies with him.
You’ve seen this year’s awesome army boxes for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and now it’s (almost) time to get your hands on them – and it wouldn’t be the run-up to Christmas without other Warhammer-themed gifts, too.
Christmas Battleforces & Red Gobbo Pre-Order Revealed
The yearly Christmas Battleforces are up for pre-order next week; here are all the details from the Warhammer Community.
Games Workshop has changed how new release ordering works. Make sure you read about it here.
These will go up for pre-order on November 11th for delivery on Black Friday weekend.
Da Red Gobbo’s Surprise
The spirit of Christmas charity has gone mysteriously missing, and it’s fallen to Da Red Gobbo to hand out the gifts. He’s back again to spread some more holiday cheer, and people are going to have a blast with whatever he drops down their chimney…
Celebrate the holidays with the red gobo (or ruin them)! The choice is yours, although we recommend painting the small Citadel paint pot Nuln oil color!
Check all the values for these new Christmas Battleforce box sets in our pricing post here.
Exalted of the Red Angel
Take skulls for the Skull Throne with these bloodthirsty devotees of Khorne. The huge Daemon Primarch Angron, towers over six frenzied Eightbound and a squad of 10 blood-crazed Berzerkers, ready to slaughter all who cross their path. Red is the most festive colour around, after all.
Getting the centerpiece of a faction in an army box is one of the most exciting ways to start a faction!
Onslaught Swarm
Even the Hive Mind gets into the spirit by giving biomass to all the good little gaunts, and they’ve enlisted an immense Norn Emissary and a terrifying Winged Hive Tyrant to see it done. They command a tide of 20 leaping Hormagaunts and 10 skulking Genestealers, directing them in all-consuming waves of multitudinous claws and razor-sharp teeth.
Get a good selection of troops and the new Emissary to bolster current and new players’ armies alike.
Spearhead Force
Do you need to deliver loads of presents at hyper-speed? Look no further than the Spearhead Force – a highly mobile warband that can deliver punishing firepower from an Invader ATV and its Outrider motorcade. Once the foe is pinned in place, 15 Jump Pack Intercessors – led by a fearsome Captain with Jump Pack – are the perfect pairing to seal your victory.
Go all in on speed with this selection of Space Marines.
Beast Snagga Stampede
Spread your Waaagh! across the galaxy with this massive boxed set of feral Beast Snaggas. The legendary Mozrog Skragbad leads the charge with three deadly Squighog Boyz and a Nob on Smasha Squig, while a mob of 10 Beast Snagga Boyz ride along in a squig-hauled Kill Rig with a Painboss to patch them back together again.
Speaking of speed, this stampede of BEast Snagas also has a good amount of it.
Defenders of the Ancestors
Want has, need keeps, toil earns – especially when it comes to the gift-giving season. The Defenders of the Ancestors are an elite band ready to deal out some hard knocks in service of their Votann, with a doughty Einhyr Champion leading an armoured fist of 10 Einhyr Hearthguard. These warriors pack a massive punch as they’re delivered to battle by a Hekaton Land Fortress, while a fast-moving Sagitaur ATV lays down suppressing fire and a wise Grimnyr provides psychic support.
Bring the Armor with the Votann box, which has a ton of durable bodies and their two transport options.
Cadian Defence Force
Stand firm in your defence of the Imperium with the mustered soldiers of the Cadian Defence Force. A pair of mighty Rogal Dorn Battle Tanks grind across the battlefield, supported by two disciplined squads of 10 Cadian Shock Troopers – who can merge into one big squad of 20 – and a Cadian Command Squad to bark orders in the heat of combat. It’s a true bulwark against anything that might threaten Humanity!
Make the swap over to the newest options for Guard with the newer Cadians and the bigger Rogal Dorn tanks.
Vengorian Court
Each dynasty of the Soulblight Gravelords fights differently, attuned to the predilections of their morbid liege. The Vengorian Lords are those who have truly succumbed to their bestial nature. In the Vengorian Court, one of these mighty leaders commands a cadre of five noble Blood Knights, three Fell Bats, 20 Deathrattle Skeletons, and a pack of 10 Dire Wolves.
No Destruction box for AoS, instead Vampires take their place.
Warhorde of Eternus
The fearsome Eternus, Blade of the First Prince, leads a mighty army in the name of his Dark Master. This powerful warhorde includes five battle-hardened Chaos Knights, 10 Chaos Warriors, three hulking Ogroid Theridons, and a retinue of five Chaos Chosen blessed by the Ruinous Powers.
Chaos in AoS is getting a great selection of minis that offer a variety of options.
Primordial Starhost
The Seraphon have recently been blessed with a wide range of brand new miniatures, and you can get your hands on a whole army with the Primordial Starhost. An ancient Slann Starmaster watches over the ferocious charge of three Aggradon Lancers, while three mighty Kroxigor and 10 savage Saurus Warriors set upon enemies herded into place by three snapping Terrawings and the cunning Hunters of Huanchi.
Order gets everyone’s favorite Dinos as this year’s box, which actually has quite a few more recent newer models.
Praetorian Spearhead
Ride down your foes and reap a bountiful tithe of bone with the Praetorian Spearhead, commanded by Arch-Kavalos Zandtos and his bodyguard of five Kavalos Deathriders. Four elite Morghast constructs swoop from the skies, while a Gothizzar Harvester reanimates the fallen and reinforces the 10 Mortek Guard who march unrelentingly across the battlefield.
Lastly, there’s Death’s second box featuring Bonereapers and some models that were sold out for quite some time.
