GW revealed their latest Warhammer releases featuring 40k Kill Team Shadowhunt and the Dead Silence Tau and Space Wolves miniatures, hitting pre-order this week!
Games Workshop revealed its latest pre-orders this week for Warhammer 40k Kill Team, featuring the new plastic Nightlords, Sisters of Battle, and a selection of repacks from Dead Silence!
Here’s the full lineup, along with our thoughts on all the new products that are hitting pre-order this week!
New Warhammer 40k Kill Team Pre-Order Releases
These products will be available for pre-order on Saturday, January 24th, around 1 p.m. EST in the States, with a shelf release date of Saturday, February 7th, 2025.
If you’re still waiting on something else to hit pre-order, though, be sure to check out the latest new release lineup in our updated Warhammer Roadmap for 2025.
Kill Team Shadowhunt Pre-Order:
Shadowhunt Kill Team pre-orders throw players into a nasty scrap powered by murder and faith, packing two complete kill teams plus an 88-page Shadowhunt Dossier. The book brings rules for the Descent killzone, letting battlefields split into upper and lower layers for fights that turn into vertical chaos fast.
It also comes with Joint Ops and Adversary Ops Shadowhunt mission packs for co-op play and head-to-head games, along with matching Descent killzone boards for both layers.
The box rounds it out with Adepta Sororitas and Chaos Space Marines transfer sheets, plus all the datacards and tokens needed to run both new teams without rummaging around for missing bits.
The Murderwing is a six-operative crew built around the hunt. Jump packs give them nasty mobility, lining up weird angles and nasty drops to hit targets where it hurts most, usually right before the screaming starts.
The Celestian Insidiants keep boots on the deck, fielding nine operatives armed for anti-psyker work and trained to chase down targets that try to vanish, slip away, or hide behind clever tricks.
Be sure to check out our review of this box set in our latest breakdown article.
XV26 Stealth Battlesuits Kill Team
This kill team kit includes five multi-part plastic Stealth Battlesuits, two drones, and a Homing Beacon. It also includes a token sheet for Kill Team games and a T’au Empire Infantry transfer sheet with 177 transfers.
Wolf Scouts Kill Team
This kill team includes six multi-part plastic miniatures, plus a loyal Fenrisian Wolf that looks like it bites first and asks questions never. The box includes a token sheet for Kill Team games and a Space Wolves transfer sheet with 419 transfers.
XV26 Stealth Battlesuits & Wolf Scouts Datacards
For players who like their rules close and their page-flipping minimal, the XV26 Stealth Battlesuits and Wolf Scouts datacards set keeps the key info on hand. It includes datasheet references for operatives, faction rules, equipment, ploys, and the rest of the rules payload needed to run either kill team cleanly.
Final Thoughts On: Kill Team Shadowhunt Pre-Orders
So that is the menu for this week’s Kill Team pre-orders: Night Lords dropping in from weird angles, Sisters turning witch-hunting into a lifestyle choice, T’au stealth suits playing “now you see me, now you are removed from the table,” and Wolf Scouts doing what Space Wolves do best, showing up early and causing problems.
If Shadowhunt is the main event, the repacks and datacards are the side dishes that keep game night moving and the rulebook flipping to a minimum.
