A leaked Warhammer High Elf Prince and Noble kit suggests The Old World’s next High Elves wave may arrive sooner than expected.
Leaked Warhammer: The Old World miniatures always get the community talking, and this time, it’s a High Elf Prince and Noble kit making waves. A full box containing both a mounted and foot noble has surfaced on eBay, raising questions about when the second wave of High Elf miniatures will arrive. While the first wave of High Elf models has already released, it’s a great sign of an upcoming wave two on the horizon.
How Did This High Elf Prince and Noble Kit Leak?
The biggest question is how this kit surfaced ahead of an official announcement. There are a few possibilities.
Early shipments sometimes land in the wrong place, putting unreleased miniatures in unexpected hands before their intended debut. In other cases, misplaced stock or unauthorized sales lead to models surfacing ahead of schedule, fueling speculation.
While less likely, some believe occasional leaks (from GW) help build excitement and keep a faction in the spotlight before an official reveal. This may be the case here, as we have seen a lot of these types of releases recently. Regardless of how this happened, the important takeaway is that High Elf leadership options are already boxed and ready, which could signal the upcoming release schedule.
What This Means for High Elf Releases in The Old World
If this kit is already circulating, it raises a key question—are High Elves taking up more of the release schedule? Current speculation has Beastmen as the next major faction, but this leak suggests that High Elves could take another couple of months to release fully… which means they could push back both Beastmen and Wood Elves.
Games Workshop has been methodical with The Old World rollout, ensuring that each faction gets proper attention (and some people say they are taking too long with each faction). If High Elf nobles are already in production, they could be scheduled (along with possible more wave two models) for release in late 2025 or early 2026, which could push the other armies into 2026.
Another possibility is that this kit is a standalone character release behind the full High Elf army—meaning it will just drop with the next army, and not really change the schedule all that much.
How Does This Leak Impact The Timeline?
It’s hard to say exactly how far away the next wave of High Elf kits is. This release has come after the Wood Elf kits leak, so it may imply it is still a way down the road. At the same time, it will likely be a smaller wave that can fit in and boost a quiet week.
Final Thoughts on the High Elf Prince and Noble Leak
This High Elf prince leak isn’t just a glimpse at an upcoming kit—it’s a major clue about the future of The Old World. Whether this means High Elves are getting a big second wave or if this is just a random character release to be slotted in when GW is slow.
Now, the only real question is who gets their release first—Beastmen or Wood Elves? Either way, The Old World is shaping up to have a massive year in 2025. Check out some of the other Warhammer The Old World Previews below!
