Here is a first look at all the new Solar Auxilia, Warhammer The Old World, and Black Library releases hitting pre-order worldwide!
Games Workshop has some good news for hobbyists who want to take to the tabletop with all the new Solar Auxilia, Black Library, and Old World! The full release wave is coming to pre-order on Saturday, March 2nd, 2024, around 1 p.m. EST here in the States.
New Solar Auxilia Battle Group & Old World: FIRST LOOK
The Tomb Kings of Khemri and Kingdom of Bretonnia are receiving returning plastic and metal models. Additionally, the Knights of the Realm, Lord with Great Weapon, and Solar Auxilia Battle Group are among the new releases hitting pre-order this week.
We’ve got a huge Sunday Preview this week, including the Solar Auxilia Battle Group and new miniatures for the Horus Heresy. Then there’s a massive second wave of releases for the Tomb Kings of Khemri and Kingdom of Bretonnia.Â
Warhammer The Old World Base Converters From Elrik’s Hobbies:
Elrik’s has you covered for the new changes coming with the switchover from Warhammer Fantasy to The Old World. They have options for both your pre-existing models and those that have yet to be based. You can put them on base converters (so you don’t have to cut the feet off or change the base color) or use totally new sizes. Plus, they also have movement trays and themed resin bases. Best of all, you can get 10% off your order using the promo code Long War Rules.
With Games Workshop’s decision to move for a slightly larger base size on average with the switch from Fantasy to Old World, Elrik’s Hobbies has come up with an easy solution for those units that you have already seated on a base. You will still have to paint the edges of these, but if you ask us, it is a far easier option than rebasing! They have a few sizes already but are adding on more.
Warhammer The Old World Bases:
Get 10% off your order using promo code: Long War Rules.
They also have updated square and rectangle base sizes, plus movement trays for customizing your new Warhammer, the Old World army, if you don’t want to use the converters!
Warhammer The Old World Movement Trays:
Get 10% off your order using promo code: Long War Rules.
Movement trays for Warhammer: The Old World 25mm Square bases ranging from 5-10 bases wide by 1-6 bases deep. Tray image is shown as an example. All trays will be sized appropriately based on required columns and ranks.
Whether you are rebasing or ready to play, this makes moving across the board so much easier.

Update and rebase your Warhammer Fantasy models to The Old World with four exciting new styles of resin bases from Elrik’s Hobbies.
Sticker Magnets & Trays For Rebasing Warhammer The Old World
Squad Marks has four main options to help you rebase your Warhammer Fantasy and Old World models: adhesive magnets for your bases, movement trays for most sizes (you’ll see how they can be used for all kinds of units), and bases! You can get yours here from Squad Marks.
Slotta Bases From White Dragon Miniatures:
These new bases from White Dragon Miniatures have a pre-cut slotted strip and hole for magnets. This neat feature will make moving your units around easier than ever. Each base pack contains one hundred bases, which should be enough to rebase most of your infantry. Either way, this is a pretty good deal for so many bases! Just remember that these come from the UK. So it might take a little bit to get to you if you’re overseas from there. You can get yours here from White Dragon Miniatures.
Tomb King on Necrolith Bone Dragon
Necrolith Bone Dragons are ancient skeletal behemoths reanimated by powerful Liche Priests, to carry them into battle. They hew men apart with fossilised claws and turn them into withered corpses with their vile, desiccating breath.
This massive plastic miniature can be built with two different howdahs, one designed for a Mortarch of Nehekhara and the other for a Liche Priest of the Mortuary Cult. If you build this kit with a Liche Priest rider, you can also build a Tomb King on foot.
Pick up this amazing mini for a huge challenge and a great centerpiece.
Nekaph, Emissary of Settra Direct Only From GW WebstoreÂ
Settra the Imperishable is a tyrant like no other, and his list of titles and conquests far exceeds that of any mortal man. His immortal Emissary Nekaph arrives before battle and shrieks all of his master’s titles, before joining his liege in battle to lay low his enemies with the Flail of Conquered Kings. This is an expert kit made from Forge World resin.
Pick up this new character as its own release to match up with your own Settra mini.
Tomb Kings of Khemri Returning PlasticsÂ
Swell the ranks of your reanimated armies and take over the Old World in plastic with these returning kits. The Skeleton Warriors box contains 36 miniatures which can either be built as Skeleton Warriors or Skeleton Archers, and includes command retinue options for standard bearers, champions, and musicians.
Horsemen / Chariots
The Skeleton Horsemen box contains 16 miniatures which can be built as Skeleton Horsemen or Skeleton Horse Archers, plus relevant command units. Finally, the Skeleton Chariots box contains three boney vehicles with options including a champion, a standard bearer, and a musician.
Tomb Kings of Khemri Returning Metals Online Direct Only From GW Webstore
- Tomb King on ChariotÂ
- NecrotectÂ
- Prince Apophas
Three Tomb Kings units are returning in metal: the special character Prince Apophas, a whip-wielding Necrotect, and a Tomb King on Chariot, which combines a metal miniature with a plastic Chariot.
Tomb Kings of Khemri Resin Remasters Direct Only From GW Webstore
- Tomb Scorpion
- Emissary of Settra
- Screaming Skull Catapult
Further classics are returning in Forge World resin with remastered elements. The Tomb Scorpion and Screaming Skull Catapult have both been changed to make them easier to build, with clearer details sculpted onto the catapult. The Carrion also return as a set of three miniatures – two of which were previously available, with one new pose designed to match the originals.
With some fantastic returning models in metal, plastic, and resin Tomb Kings seem to have a little bit of everything this week.
Knights of the Realm on Foot
The Knights of the Realm are minor nobles sworn to protect the fiefdom of their duke. Some prefer to charge into combat on foot, wielding either two-handed halberds or hand weapons and shields. This box builds 20 Knights of the Realm on foot armed with either a halberd or the classic sword-and-shield combo, and enough parts to create two command groups if you prefer two blocks of 10 knights.
Stock up on the new infantry thanks to this highly anticipated offering this week.
Lord with Great Weapon Direct Only From GW Webstore Only
A genuine hidden gem returns to The Old World – the unreleased Lord with Great Weapon and accompanying Helm Bearer. This is the holy grail of many a collector – if you’ll excuse the pun. Planned as a Games Day exclusive miniature, you can now buy this metal miniature 13 years later.
Knights of the Realm
Ride out to defend the Kingdom of Bretonnia with these reboxed plastic miniatures. The Knights of the Realm box builds either 12 Knights of the Realm or the impetuous Knights Errant, with enough pieces to create up to two command retinues.
Bretonnia wouldn’t be the same without its cavalry!
Kingdom of Bretonnia Returning Metals Direct Only From GW Webstore
- Prophetess of the Lady
- Squires
- Squires Command
- Questing Knights
- Questing Knights CommandÂ
- Trebuchet
Plenty of Kingdom of Bretonnia metal kits are returning in metal. These include the Bretonnian Squires and Squires Command, and Questing Knights and their Command, brandishing two-handed swords.Â
Two Prophetesses of the Lady are also coming in metal, alongside the Green Knight, the ultimate paragon of virtue, sacred protector of Bretonnia, and one of the best miniatures of all time.
With some extremely iconic models, seeing so many good returning models this week is great.
Solar Auxilia Battle Group
The Solar Auxilia supported the Legions Astartes during the Great Crusade, and when Horus began his insurrection, their forces were split amongst the 18 Legions, getting stuck into the thickest fighting on both sides.Â
Containing 28 brand-new miniatures, the Solar Auxilia Battle Group brings them to plastic for the first time. A five-man Line Command section consisting of an Auxilia Troop Master and four Auxilia Veterans with a variety of upgrade choices leads a complement of 20 Auxilia armed with las rifles. There’s also a Leman Russ Strike Tank, an Aethon Pattern Heavy Sentinel, and a Dracosan Armoured Transport.Â
Two Solar Auxilia Infantry transfer sheets and two Solar Auxilia Vehicle transfer sheets featuring over 150 transfers each are provided, while rules for the units can be found in Liber Imperium – The Forces of the Emperor Army Book.
Army boxes are always exciting for players wanting to start new armies or get a bunch of models at a good value!
Solar Auxilia DiceÂ
Roll in style when fielding your Solar Auxilia with this set of 20 dice, which include 19 regular six-sided dice featuring a pearlescent grey and black swirl pattern with the Solar Auxilia on the six face, and one scatter dice.
Whether you’re a hobbyist looking to expand your Warhammer armies or a collector seeking rare and iconic models, this week’s offerings have something for everyone.
Stormseer Consul Direct Only From GW Webstore
The psykers of the White Scars learned from the ancient traditions of Chogoris, whose shamans were able to predict and control the weather. A synthesis of psychic power and ancient tradition produced the Stormseer Consuls, warriors wielding meteorological might to aid their allies and strike down their foes. This is an expert kit made from Forge World resin, and comes with two head options.
Dark Emissary Consul Direct Only From GW Webstore
Wielding a Staff of Dark Authority, the Dark Emissary Consul is a pair of watchful eyes for the Warmaster Horus, ensuring that allies of the Sons of Horus meet his exacting standards. The Dark Emissary has no compunction as a grim executioner to enforce his master’s will either. This is an expert kit made from Forge World resin.
Apothecarion Detachment Direct Only From GW Webstore
Even the unyielding Legiones Astartes require medical aid on the battlefield, and Apothecaries are responsible for caring for the wounded and delivering final mercy to those beyond saving. Their duty also extends to recovering the gene-seed should an Astartes fall. These two are a single expert kit made from Forge World resin.
As with all Horus Heresy, even the generic models have a ton of iconography!
White Dwarf Issue 498
The greatest gaming magazine in the world is back with Combat Patrol rules for Vantarrion’s Voidsmen – a Rogue Trader and her crew – and for games of three and four players. For Kill Team, the Blades of Khaine rules are published, while in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, there are new rules for massive games in Gathering of Might, and Baron Veingulper in Warhammer Quest: Cursed City. And that’s just scratching the surface, with great content for many more game systems.
The Hollow King (special edition) Direct Only From GW Webstore
A Soulblight vampire who accepted the curse as his people and kingdom fell to Chaos, Cado Ezechiar now roams the Realm of Death seeking retribution and salvation for the ones he failed. Aided by the bound spirits of those he lost, Cado follows a path of revenge, hunting the servants of Chaos to slake his need for blood while seeking the Sorcerer of Change who destroyed his kingdom. When his hunt leads him to the free city of Aventhis, Cado becomes caught up in the machinations of greater powers – beings who see the city and its people as dust in the eyes of ambitious gods.Â
The debut Cado Ezechiar novel gets the lavish special edition treatment, including four short stories and an afterword all by author John French. This exquisite package has a lovely embossed cover, a ribbon bookmark, and gold foil blocking – fit for a personage of Cado’s stature.
Hollow King is a story with a cool premise, but this version is sure to go fast, so hop on it if you want it!
Classic Warhammer Art Prints Direct Only From GW Webstore
Nearly two dozen stone-cold classic pieces of Warhammer art from an earlier era are also going on sale next Saturday. These are iconic covers from Codexes and Warhammer Armies books, covering many of your favourite factions in the vivid colour palette that was the style at the time.
