Getting ready for Christmas yet? We saw confirmed previews earlier in the year for wave one of Games Workshop’s holiday bundles that will be coming to their stores and hobby shops alike.
Games Workshop just previewed the second wave of bundles that will be headed our way this holiday as well for Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, and hobby enthusiasts alike!
If you’re looking for Christmas ideas, or just looking for a better deal for yourself, check out these confirmed bundles to see which ones will look perfect on your tabletop.
GW’s Christmas 2018 Bundle Lineup Pricing CONFIRMED!
Scenery Bundles
Available to pre-order next weekend, come a host of board-filling scenery sets for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Each contains a gaming-table’s worth of terrain, and are the perfect way to embark upon building that awesome board you’ve always dreamed of.
And let’s face it Sylvaneth fans – you really can never have enough Wyldwoods.
Painting Bundles
There’s also a swathe of new painting sets on the horizon, letting you take full advantage of the Citadel Paint System by getting a great selection of options from the Layer, Shade or Air ranges – plus a project box to boot.
There’s also an Ultimate Project Paint Set, for those of you in serious need of a stock up across all your colors or who are about to embark on a major painting project.
Hobby Tools
Remember life before the Citadel Painting Handle? We can’t.
If you’re anything like us, this unassuming little tool quickly established itself as one of your essential painting companions. And, alongside our best-ever water pot, it will soon be joined by 2 new handy tools. The first of these is a larger painting handle that can hold model bases as large as that of a Redemptor Dreadnought, so you can get a grip on any size of project. The second is an “armed” version that can hold multiple components in place while painting – giving you the advantages of painting by component, and of painting a fully assembled miniature all at once!
Battleforces
What would the holidays be without some new Battleforces? Traditionally costing $170 with lots more value packed inside, these are holiday favorites to give and receive!
On shelves in early December, the battleforces offer this year will include both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar armies – 10 in total. These are brilliant ways to kick off a new collection, each packed with great units that any army can use, meaning even if you’ve already got a considerable collection, you’ll find lots of stuff in these sets you can use.
We’ll have more details on what to expect closer to the time, but for now, here’s a preview of two of them…
Here are the confirmed pricing previews we saw earlier in the year for wave one of Games Workshop’s holiday bundles that will be coming to their stores and hobby shops alike.
You’ll need some paint for those bad boys too!
With what looks to be about an average savings of 25% these bundles look like deals you just can’t pass up. You can never have enough paint. You may think you can get by with some basic colors, but you’ll find out very quickly that you need different colors to fill in all the details on models.
