GW has been surprising us with exclusive minis for a while now. Check out what we’ve got on the table as the latest exclusives to get in recent years.
2019 is over and we’re kicking off 2020 with some interesting times! With the fast-growing pace of releases in Age of Sigmar and 40k, we’ve also seen some exclusive minis pop up from time to time. You should definitely look into grabbing one if you see them available.
Primaris Lieutenant Amulius (Now MTO)
Lieutenant Amulius is Easy-to-build and was seen (finally) at 2019’s Adepticon as a surprise exclusive mini.
While he’s a normal Primaris Lieutenant on the tabletop, his model is definitely sweet and puts off a generic codex-Astartes vibe. GW has also just now made him available through their webstore as an MTO release.
Primaris Sergeant Jovan
This guy was another store exclusive for 40k in 2019. And while he may be a Primaris, he’s actually not a Lieutenant. He’s got one of the more dynamic posing/bases that we’ve seen in terms of Primaris characters so far. At the end of the day, he’ll make a fantastic (insert T4 HQ here) for any Chapter.
Sister of Battle: Amalia Novena
Amalia was first previewed at a past Adepticon and we really didn’t know anything besides the model’s pose. It turns out that she was the store exclusive mini on June 29th’s Warhammer Day celebration. The best part is that she’s fully plastic and isn’t Easy-to-Build!
Sisters Cannoness
Looking at the new Canoness model, she was passed out to everyone that made it to the previews at 2019’s NOVA event. Now, she’s a staple among just about every Sisters list.
Note that while she was handed out earlier and considered (exclusive), she also came inside the Sisters of Battle Army Set.
Warhammer Day Unpainted Funko POP! Marine
This guy made a debut at Warhammer Day in 2019 after the earlier releases were of faction-prepainted Space Marines. (Ultramarine, Space Wolf, Dark Angel, and Blood Angel). The unpainted form sold like hotcakes as it allowed fans with custom/successor Chapters to paint their Marine exactly the way they wanted.
Leena Stormspire
This named Stormcast was a hero that was only available for store openings, refurbishments or relocations. Rocking a shield and sword, she opted for a more tanky-loadout over her battle-brother, Berek.
Berek the Indomitable
Berek the indomitable is a Stormcast that’s all about damage. With a big two-handed hammer, he doesn’t need to try and block anything.
Like Leena, he’s posed standing over the top of a Greenskin that he just batted the top half off of. Definitely a unique look for a character in your Stormcast army. He’s also a great alternate model for your Warhammer Underworlds Steelheart’s Champions Warband.
Larissa Shadowstalker
Larissa Shadowstalker is a Knight-Questor armed with a stormstrike glaive. She’s on foot and doesn’t have a shield so, in terms of in-game rules, she’s not the most high-speed low-drag option. However, she’s definitely got an awesome pose and looks like she’s been around the mortal realms a time or two!
Dacian Anvil
Dacian Anvil is the latest Stormcast special character to be previewed. He’s actually not available yet. He was supposed to be released at 2020’s Adepticon. But since that got canceled, we’re now waiting to see where he’ll pop up.
Catachan Exclusive- Sergeant Ripper Jackson
This is the first bit of love Catachans have gotten in a while from GW. This female warrior rocking a bionic leg is the latest exclusive mini we’ve seen previewed. There haven’t been any specific details on how we get her. But WHC did say:
We’ll have more information about how to get your hands on this awesome model soon. Look for new store opening events near you, and start planning your trip!
MTO Librarian Terminator
Update: After GW’s 3rd online preview, he’s been announced as an MTO with two weeks of open ordering before they produce them and ship them out. Obviously, once the virus gets under control.
Latest: New Sisters Model Revealed as MTO
This new Sister took everyone by surprise as we had no idea GW was even working on more exclusive models for the faction. However, this Sister is posed just like the famous artwork we’ve seen over and over through the years. In-game, she’s just a normal Sister so you could make her the position of a Sergeant in your force but that’s about it. She’s Made to Order with ordering open now. You’ve got two weeks to reserve your model before they close it and start pumping these girls out!
Exclusive minis are usually hard to get ahold of. Especially in times of social distancing and quarantining. But as we move forward into the year, here’s to hoping GW makes those exclusive minis that were supposed to drop at Adepticon available in another way that we can grab.
Plus, with the new Catachan model splashing into the scene as an exclusive, it shows that GW is beginning to branch out from the Space Marine/Stormcast factions which is always a bonus.
What kind of exclusive mini would you like to see GW release next? Would something bigger like an exclusive Knight/ Wave Serpent be cool to see? How many exclusives from the list above do you have in your collection?
