Available in standard and collectors’ editions, Arks of Omen: Abaddon kicks off the new story with a team-up between the eponymous Despoiler and the new daemon on the block, Vashtorr the Arkifane.
As well as spinning an epic yarn, Arks of Omen: Abaddon lets you take part in the saga of the Balefleets by introducing rules and missions for Boarding Actions – a whole new way to play Warhammer 40,000, offering fast-paced games set within the confines of voidcraft, space hulks, and orbital stations.
As the mainline narrative expansion, we’ve been hearing about this new series for a while, so it’ll be exciting to see the first book finally!

Dice are pretty straightforward; if you like the design or are a fan of the faction, then boom! Easy pick-up but keep in mind there are only 15 dice in here instead of the normal 20.
Tons of Warhammer Box Sets Going For Super Cheap on eBay
This month on eBay we found some of the best prices on Warhammer 40k we’ve ever seen! If you find something you want from this list, it is probably the cheapest price around by far.
There are a bunch of deals, including Gargants at nearly $70 off, Nachmund at a crazy deal, Eldritch Omens at almost half price, and more! Check it out.
Mega-Gargants
The Gargants are going for $210 right now, which means this is just an insane deal! This is the deepest discount we’ve seen on the box, so if you want to build some Gargants, you really can’t go wrong with this! As of right now, there are a decent number of boxes left, but we assume at this price they are going to go really fast.
Eldritch Omens
At this price, this is just an insane deal! There are six units inside the box and at this price, each is under $20. If you know a friend who would want the other side of the box, you’ll get a ton of minis for only $60 each. This is probably the best price we’ve found for this box so far!
Ash Wastes
This is $100 off the original price, so if you want to get into Necromunda or the Ash Wastes expansion system, this is hard to beat. We did a value breakdown, and the box has about $465 of value inside, so for $200, you can’t go wrong.
Warhammer 40k Terrain
They have two sets available, and both are pretty sweet deals! Octarius is selling for $112 on GW’s site right now, so almost half-price. While Chalnath isn’t quite as good of a deal, still much cheaper than the MSRP! That’s all for this one store, but there are plenty of other deals out there still!
Knight Dominus:
Currently, this bad boy goes for $170 on the Games Workshop site, a savings of nearly $50 or 30% off. Thats a solid deal for a very cool model that can make both versions of Dominus Class Knights.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Knight Castellan, a titanic long range Lords of War choice for your Imperial Knights army – or a wandering Freeblade for other Imperium forces. This super-heavy walker is armed with a blast-unleashing plasma decimator, an armour-melting volcano lance, and an array of carapace-mounted meltaguns, shieldbreaker cannons, and missiles. The Knight Castellan makes a fantastic painting project and centrepiece, and offers a range of poses, face plates, and armour pieces, allowing you to create a truly unique engine of war. This kit can also be assembled as a Knight Valiant, as well as a Knight Tyrant for Chaos Knights.
Kill Team Nachmund:
This box is currently going for about $30 over cost, which is just wild considering how much you get inside, especially the terrain.
Keep in mind there has been a price increase since this released, so there is even more value to be had now.
Black Templars Army Box:
Containing 13 miniatures, 12 of which are available for the first time in this very box, this is the perfect place to start a Black Templars army or build on your existing force. Leading the charge is the stunning new Emperor’s Champion, and ensuring that the correct vows are uttered and devotions followed is a Marshal.
This originally retailed for $199, so if you get it from eBay, you’ll actually save around 50%! Which actually gives you a bunch of great value! If you’ve been looking to start a new army or pump yours up, you can’t really go wrong with this.
Especially considering one Primaris Crusader Squad box goes for $60 alone!
Chalnath Kill Team Box Set:
This went for $170, so while not as big of a discount as the Black Templar box, this is still a pretty sweet deal and can get you into Kill Team on the cheap complete with terrain and two squads!
Dominion Box Set:
There are a bunch of these listings, which makes sense, as these didn’t do so well when they were released in 2021. Still, this is a great deal at about $100-$110 and will get you an insane number of minis for that price! In theory, you get almost $400 in value at this price, so hard to pass up if you want to play either Stormcasts or Kruleboyz!
Into the Dark:
This originally went for $210, so it’s a great deal at this price! Especially considering these are still extremely new minis (and not available on their own at the time of writing this). You’ll still get a lot of minis for fairly cheap, including the new breached models for the Imperial Navy.
Box Sets Approaching 50% OFF

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters Humble Bundle: 40% OFF
Humble Bundle has another listing available for some solid sci-fi offerings. While we usually cover the Black Library bundles, this game is pretty cool, and you get to slay daemons! What’s not to like about that?
As we said, this will seriously save you some cash, and if you go on Steam, the game will cost you $45. As we said though, this only has a few days left, so don’t miss out!
