GW announced the new Darkoath Army Box for AoS, and a selection of The Old World releases are hitting pre-order now!
One of the most exciting aspects of Warhammer is the constant release of new models, bundle boxes, and rules, which keeps the games updated and dynamic. So, there’s good news this week for hobbyists who want to expand their Warhammer collection by adding new models and more!
New AoS Darkoath Army Box, The Old World Pre-Order Revealed
New Warhammer Age of Sigmar releases were announced for pre-order, including a big Army Box and some new offerings for The Old World. Here is the product lineup that will be available to pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, April 20th, 2024, around 1 p.m. EST here in the States.
Slaves to Darkness: Darkoath Army Set
Embrace Chaos and swear binding oaths to the Ruinous Powers with the Darkoath Army Set, launching a new wave of mortal followers of the Dark Gods. These aggressive warriors show no quarter and fight as lightly equipped marauders, trusting in well-honed combat skills and the blessings they beseech to carry them through the day with their honour intact.
The Army Set comes with 20 Darkoath Marauders with a wide assortment of heads and body types, five Darkoath Fellriders, one Chieftain on Warsteed, and one ferocious Wilderfiend twisted by the powers of their malevolent patrons. The box also includes a full set of warscroll cards and tokens, plus Battletome Supplement: Darkoath – an expansion for Battletome: Slaves to Darkness that includes all the lore and pitched battle profiles you need to field this force in battle.
This new army box has a ton of new minis and even new rules, making it a great new option for fans of Chaos who want to try something new but familiar for Slaves of Darkness! Be sure to check out our pricing breakdown post here to see what value is inside this beast of a box!
Lady Élisse Duchaard
A brand new Forge World resin miniature joins the Kingdom of Bretonnia in the form of Lady Élisse Duchaard, Prophetess of the court of Brionne, who rides majestically into battle atop her unicorn steed Ariandir. Lady Duchaard is a powerful Level 3 Wizard and dishes out plenty of damage on the charge thanks to her mount’s deadly horn, and can sap the Leadership of nearby enemies when they try to use magic items and special rules.
This expert miniature is an essential addition to Bretonnia collectors, and her rules can be found in the Arcane Journal Kingdom of Bretonnia book available now.
As a new miniature to lead your Bretonnia forces, this is a fantastic new addition to their lineup for hobbyists.
Kingdom of Bretonnia Lord on Royal Pegasus
Lead the forces of goodness and chivalry into battle with a Lord on Royal Pegasus, first seen in the Kingdom of Bretonnia Army Box launched alongside Warhammer: The Old World. This standalone plastic release includes all of the options needed to field the character as a Duke or Baron with a pegasus mount, plus head, body, and weapon options to customise your Lord.
Pick up this returning mini in their own box set, making it easier to find than before!
Kingdom of Bretonnia Men at Arms
If you’re looking to expand your Bretonnian army and need some bodies to fill the gaps between your units of shining knights, look no further than the Kingdom’s common soldiery. Men at Arms come in a box of 36 miniatures – deployable in one large group or two units of 18 – with the option for polearms or hand weapons alongside their trusty shields.
As the main infantry unit for Bretonnia, generals will most likely need at least a few of these iconic Men at Arms.
Kingdom of Bretonnia Peasant Bowmen
Peasant Bowmen also come in a set of 36, and include the famous wooden stakes their formations are known for. These improvised defences help defend the vulnerable bowmen from charging cavalry, and are where the unit can also add a burning brazier upgrade to set their deadly arrows ablaze.
Fill in your Bretonnian ranged units to pepper enemies with this unit of Bowmen.
Kingdom of Bretonnia Transfer Sheet
Emblazoning your shields and armour with the shining heraldry of your beloved Duke has never been easier, thanks to a new transfer sheet of Bretonnian livery. The sheet contains a massive 861 transfers from many Bretonnian dukedoms, along with honour markings, special crests for your Lords and Grail Knights, and a selection of all-important fleurs-de-lys in a variety of colours.
Tomb Kings of Khemri Casket of Souls
The Tomb Kings of Khemri aren’t about to be outdone, and it’s time to unleash a torrent of deathly magic onto enemy heads with the iconic Casket of Souls. This remastered Forge World resin version of the classic kit has been upgraded with new mummified details inside the casket, so you can leave the lid unglued and expose the remains contained within at any time.
With another iconic mini joining the lineup, this is a great addition.
Tomb Kings of Khemri Necrolith Colossus
The classic Necrolith Colossus also gets the resin remaster treatment, with new upgrades improving its posability and a previously unreleased third head option added to the mix. The new crested head has been seen in designs since the early days of the Tomb Kings, and will now be available as part of the miniature for the first time.
Orc & Goblin Tribes Orc Shamans
Channel the power of the Waaagh! with a pair of metal Orc Shamans, featuring one toothless gent on foot and another mounted on a plastic Orc Boar. They can join your army as either a Level 3 or a Level 1 Wizard, and are a great way to add some Waaagh! magic to your hooting and hollering stampede.
Orc Mobs and Black Orc Mobs
Orc Mobs are the lifeblood of a Waaagh!, and this classic multi-part plastic kit lets you build 40 of them split into two units – one with two hand weapons, and the other with warbows. Then if you’re looking for a more durable unit to anchor your battleline, the returning box of 20 Black Orcs offers up a full unit command and a variety of hand weapons, great weapons, and shields to make your mobs dead ‘ard and killy.
As one of the most iconic Ork units, hobbyists can play true Black Orcs again!
Orc Boar Boyz and Boar Chariots
Orc cavalry also returns to the open fields of the Old World, headed up by the thunderous charge of the heavy Boar Boyz. This box of 10 Boyz comes with interchangeable heads and shields, plus options for hand weapons or cavalry spears, and hit the shelves alongside a pair of Orc Boar Chariots with removable boss poles.
Get your classic cavalry minis for the Orc faction in the Old World with these options.
Goblin Shaman
The plastic Goblin Shaman is an essential part of your diminutive green warband, whether as a Level 3 Wizard Oddnob or a Level 1 Wizard Oddgit.
This mini is a great option to add a wizard to your Ork armies in the Old World and also a great stand-in for other fantasy TTRPGs.
Goblin Mobs
Alongside them march (well, shuffle) the goblin rank-and-file. Goblin Mobs come as a set of 40 multi-part plastic miniatures and can be split into two units of 20 – each with a champion, banner bearer, and musician. Each Goblin has options to brandish a thrusting spear and shield, or a shortbow.
Fill in your battle lines with these mobs.
Night Goblin Mob and Goblin Wolf Rider Mob
Like the regular Goblins, the Night Goblin Mob includes 40 plastic miniatures that can be built with either thrusting spears and shields or shortbows. The Goblin Wolf Rider kit builds 15 multi-part plastic miniatures that can be deployed in a single squad with a full command trio, and has options to equip each rider with either a cavalry spear or a shortbow.
Whether you’re a fan of the green-skinned Orcs, Bretonnia in Old World, or Darkoath in AoS, these new pre-order releases are sure to add excitement to your Warhammer collection. With updated rules, new bundles, and minis, hobbyists have a wide range of options to choose from this week!
