Games Workshop announced absolutely zero new Warhammer pre-orders this week as they are shutting down their warehouse from May 27th – June 3rd
This week only has a few releases, and none of them are Warhammer! On the bright side, at least most of our wallets will be safe while Games Workshop heads into the end of its fiscal year with its worldwide warehouse shutdowns.
Latest GW Warhammer News & New LOTR MTO Pre-Orders Revealed
No new Warhammer releases were announced for pre-order, but they did announce some returning LoTR made-to-order options, including models from iconic movie scenes. Here is the product lineup that will be available to pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, May 18th, 2024, around 1 p.m. EST in the States.
It’s super surprising to see no new Warhammer releases, but it sort of checks out, considering the rocky status of GW supply issues lately and the fact they are closing down their warehouse for a week prior to when the items they teased would hit store shelves.
It’s not all bad news, however, as TWO new Previews are coming this week that promise to reveal all the upcoming new releases for games like Warhammer 40k, 4th Edition Age of Sigmar, and more!
Here is the latest news out of Nottingham about the recent delays, latest previews, and all the upcoming new releases for Warhammer that are still waiting to hit store shelves!

Made to Order: Heroes of Helm’s Deep™
The Heroes of Helm’s Deep set features a group of iconic warriors who played a significant role in the War of the Ring. It includes eight metal miniatures of Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Haldir, Théoden, Éowyn, Gamling, and a banner bearer of the Galadhrim, all depicted as they were during the siege. These miniatures can also be used as alternate models utilizing the standard rules of the units.
Made to Order: Defenders of Rohan™
These miniatures depict Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Théoden, Gamling, Hama, and Éomer before the Battle of Helm’s Deep. The miniatures also come with alternative versions of Théoden, Gamling, Hama, and Éomer that can be used with their normal rules.
Made to Order: Rohan™ Heroes
King Théoden, Éomer, and Gamling rode back to lead the Riders of Rohan. Two commanders accompanied their soldiers, holding up a grand banner and using the Heroic March action to boost morale and inspire their troops. Each of which, has an option if you want to pick up their minis.
There are only MTO Lord of the Rings options coming this week. Whether you’re looking to save your hobby dollars on a no-Warhammer week or build up some iconic LoTR minis, there is still some hobbying to be had!
