Here’s all the pricing and where to get new Kasrkins in Kill Team Shadowvaults, Citadel Hobby Tools, and more that hit pre-orders this weekend.
Get those hobby dollars ready if you want any of these new releases from Games Workshop that are up for pre-order right now!
New Kasrkins, Kill Team, White Dwarf & More: Pricing Links
Keep in mind that if you want early access to the new Imperial Guard Kasrkins models, you’ll have to grab the Kill Team set, as it will most likely be a few months until they are released on their own.
Another important thing to note is that GW’s hobby tools are extremely expensive. So if you want a good pair, maybe think about going to your local hobby store and getting them there to save some cash.
We’ll be testing them versus the premium tools they put out back in 2014, which we still use to this very day. If the quality is indeed worth the price, we will surely let you know!
Kill Team: Shadowvaults Retail Price: $185

Head deeper into the Gallowdark with the next expansion for Kill Team. Shadowvaults builds on Kill Team: Into the Dark with new terrain and rules for infiltration, sentries, and daring raids in your Kill Team games in the close quarters of the space hulk.
This was just revealed at the Open Day 2022, meaning some people are bound to be excited about its speedy release!
Kill Team:Shadowvaults introduces two new kill teams into the game – the Kasrkin of the Astra Militarum and the Necron Hierotek Circle. The Kasrkin are a brand new set of miniatures while the Necron kill team includes an upgrade sprue for the Immortals and Deathmarks, which also makes the new Plasmacyte Reanimator, Plasmacyte Accelerator, and Apprentek models.
Necrons keep it pretty simple, but with new rules in Kill Team, it’s still going to be a blast to face off against Guard.
The Kasrkins have some sweet new models, and during the preview, they even commented about the new kit’s versatility!
In this box you’ll find:
1x 120-page Kill Team: Shadowvaults rules manual: Plunge deeper into the Gallowdark, with background material exploring this vast space hulk and the operatives seeking to escape its clutches. This manual also offers new rules, datacards, and background tables for both the Kasrkin and Hierotek Circle kill teams, plus additional killzone rules for sentry turrets and robots, nine Shadow Ops missions with new rules for infiltration, and nine Critical Ops missions for playing in the Gallowdark.
18x Citadel miniatures: Two full kill teams, including Astra Militarum miniatures available for the first time in this box, each featuring a wide array of customisation and alternate assembly options. Extra components allow for deep personalisation of your Kill Team, and many models can be assembled as multiple different kinds of operative.
Kasrkin Kill Team:
– 10 all-new elite Astra Militarum troops, available for the first time in this set – replete with incredible details and loads of options
– Components to build specialists like a Combat Medic, Demo-trooper, Sharpshooter, Gunner, and Recon-trooper
– Full transfer sheet with 597 markings and icons
Hierotek Circle Kill Team:
– Eight Necron models – five of these can be built as Immortals or Deathmarks, along with a Cryptek Technomancer, and an upgrade frame to build mechanical aides
– Extra components to build specialists like the Apprentek, Immortal Despotek, Plasmacyte Reanimator and Plasmacyte Accelerator
– Additional cosmetic options to customise your Necrons
45x pieces of Killzone: Gallowdark terrain: This modular system of walls, doors, and pillars can be arranged in a huge variety of configurations to create different room and corridor layouts, with glueless assembly allowing you to adjust their positioning in-game. It includes 11 new pieces of terrain, including a sentry turret, robot crawler, security panels, cameras, bomb, weapons lockers, and equipment stashes.
1x double-sided Shadowvaults game board: Set up your terrain on this folding cardboard game board measuring 30″ by 22″, depicting the battle-scarred deck plating of the space hulk on both sides.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly
Kill Team Dice Sets $38 Each

Provide your special operatives with the best possible support while they’re out in the field with these faction dice sets. Both include 20 dice cast in orange with grey swirls, featuring white ink and the logo of your chosen kill team on the ‘6’.
Please note that these dice sets have been slightly delayed in the USA, Canada, and Japan.
Womp-womp, delays stink, but sometimes they are necessary, and in this case, many of us will just have to wait. However, it looks like they will indeed be available in the US, according to the stores we polled.
Super Fine Detail Cutters Retail Price: $50
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This new set of Super Fine Detail Cutters includes a number of improved features:
– Ultra thin blades (about three times smaller than the previous model) allow you to get into tight spaces with ease, increasing visibility and control
– Blades meet perfectly flush on the back, reducing the amount of additional cleanup needed and reducing the risk of pieces pinging away when used properly
– Bump-stopping design makes it impossible to mash the blades together with too much pressure, which means they’ll stay sharp for longer
– Rubberised contoured handles, including flares near the blades for added control, precision, and safety.
– Extended handles to reduce the pressure required to make a cut, reducing hand fatigue
As one of the most basic hobby tools, getting a good pair of clippers is paramount to the ease of putting models together. However, you can probably just grab a pair from any hobby store with a fine point for much less than this.
Moldline Remover Retail Price: $25
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
This version of the Mouldline Remover includes a number of improved features:
– Longer and thinner nose, roughly half the size of the previous version, reaches every nook and cranny while increasing visibility and precision
– Ergonomic handle is tapered in the front, allowing you to change to a pencil-like control grip for fine work, with a chunky base to allow greater comfort and reduce hand fatigue during normal use
– Notched back designed to clean up the tapered edges of your bases, making it quick and easy to get a paint-ready finish
Mold lines can be super annoying, so this tool might just be perfect if you feel the same.
Knife Retail Price: $34
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
Every Warhammer hobbyist needs a hobby knife, so the Citadel Tools design team created one just for them. It features a fully sculpted hard plastic handle, and incorporates a number of clever features for safety and convenience:
– Fixed single slot blade barrel, ensuring perfect alignment
– Ribbed shroud behind the blade, allowing safer downward pressure and maximum precision
– Ergonomic handle to reduce hand fatigue, and prevent rolling on your desk
– Back-weighted design, so it’s less likely to fall with the blade down
– Blade changing thread recessed into the handle so the blade doesn’t loosen during use
– Blade cap
This one might be worth considering as the other basic hobby tool for the new, improved handle. Not to mention how annoying it is when the knife gets loose due to the tightener being where you have your fingers on other hobby knives. It also looks like it uses standard blade refills as well, which is another bonus.
Drill Retail Price: $35
Click here to get yours for less from these retailers: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming | Games Workshop’s Store Link
A reliable drill suitable for use on miniatures can be used in all manner of ways, and the Citadel Tools design team were eager to take on the challenge of redesigning the hobby drill to make it easier and safer to use by incorporating a number of design features:
– Designed primarily in a light-weight hard plastic to reduce hand fatigue
– Ergonomic shape incorporating ridges and grooves increases control and allows you to safely exert pressure
– Bit-securing barrel is recessed into the handle, so it won’t unscrew during use
– Freely rotating end cap allowing you to push down gently and rotate at the same time
– Includes four bits in two sizes, perfect for a wide variety of Citadel model kits, stored in their own container when not in use
Drills are a little bit more of an advanced hobby tool, but this looks like a great option!
White Dwarf Issue 481 Retail Price: $11
