Warhammer 40k Made-to-Order Orks and Christmas merchandise are all now live for pre-order, here are the details.
Anyone who’s tried to pick up the old metal Ghazghkull lately has probably seen what people want for him, so GW bringing him back with six more classic Orks through Made to Order is pretty good timing. None of these have exactly been easy to find for a price that didn’t hurt, and now all seven are coming straight from GW again for a limited run.
This also drops barely two weeks after the 11th Edition Orks Codex pre-orders, so the new plastics haven’t even had much time to settle in before the old metal models started coming back around. But that being said, if GW was going to run another Made to Order batch for Orks, doing it while everybody is already looking at the army makes plenty of sense.
Made to Order still works the same way, though. This isn’t a normal weekly pre-order; GW hasn’t said when the ordering window closes, and once you order, it can take up to 180 days before the model actually shows up.
Here’s what is up for pre-order right now.
Return as 40k Made to Order
Updated on September 26th, 2026, by Rob Baer with availability dates and links to order yours.
These models are only available through Games Workshop’s Made-to-Order release, and GW says they are usually fulfilled within 180 days of the availability window. So you order during the window, then wait however long it takes GW to make and ship yours.
Pre-orders start on Saturday, September 26, around 1 p.m. EST in the States, with a street date of Saturday, October 10, for store shelves.
That October 10 date is where this preview gets a little confusing, because it applies to the Christmas merch farther down, not the Orks.
Either way, if you’re waiting on something beyond this batch of pre-orders, the rest of the upcoming releases are in our updated Warhammer Roadmap for 2026.
The classic Ork models will be on a Made-to-Order basis until 8 am UK time on 5 October 2026, and will be shipped within 180 days of ordering. You can find all the details on these Made-to-Order items in Games Workshop’s Made-to-Order Webstore Category
Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub
Nazdreg just got a new plastic model and fresh rules in the 11th Edition Orks Codex, and now the old metal version is back right behind him. The two don’t look much alike side by side, because the old sculpt is smaller and leaner but still reads as Bad Moons immediately, with the yellow checks, giant gun, and banner pole doing most of the work.
So, if you’re buying him because you remember the painted version, there is one thing worth knowing before the order goes in: the paper banner isn’t included.
Zodgrod Wortsnagga
Zodgrod goes all the way back to 2nd Edition, which puts him comfortably ahead of everything else in this batch. He looks every bit of it too, with the blue beard, grabba stick, giant totem, and colors that feel like they came from a very different era of GW painting.
Put him beside a current grot-herder and the size difference is going to stand out, but that’s part of what you’re buying with something this old. Just remember that the paper banner shown on the painted model isn’t included here either.
Ghazghkull Thraka
Classic Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka is probably the one most people have seen carrying a nasty secondhand price, because the old mega-armored version has been expensive to chase for years. GW putting him back into Made to Order won’t make every old listing disappear overnight, but at least there’s another way to get the model now.
He’s also tiny compared with the current Ghazghkull, which says a lot about how far the range has come design-wise. The new one is a full centerpiece model you build in chunks, while this Ghazghkull is basically a very large Ork crammed into a very large suit of armor.
Goff Rockers
The Goff Rockers are three Orks with guitars, one of them wearing a top hat, and that’s really most of the appeal right there. They were never about being good on the table, because somebody clearly just wanted to make an Ork band and then actually got to put it into metal.
They’ve also been hard to find for a long time, especially as a complete group, so getting all three together again is probably more useful than pretending anybody is buying these because their list desperately needs “musicians.”
Mad Dok Grotsnik
Grotsnik is one of those old Ork sculpts where you don’t need much explanation once you see him. The blood-spattered apron, giant klaw, and cybork bits get the whole mad-surgeon idea across immediately, which is probably why so many Ork conversions ended up borrowing pieces of that look over the years.
The modern kit is better looking, sure, but this one has the grimier Painboy feel that older Orks did so well. If that’s already the direction of the army, the metal version won’t have any trouble fitting in.
Boss Zagstruk
Zagstruk has always looked like he belongs at the front of a Stormboyz mob, and the old metal version gets there without doing much more than strapping a rokkit to his back and putting a blade in each hand. That’s already enough to explain how seriously he’s taking the whole flying part.
Deff Dread
GW called the old Deff Dread “legendarily hefty” in its preview, and anybody who ever picked one up knows they’re not overselling it. There is a lot of metal in this thing, enough that the first thing you remember about the model may be the weight rather than the sculpt.
The plastic Dread is easier to build, carry, repair, and probably safer for whatever shelf it’s sitting on, but that’s never really been why people go back and buy old metal kits. Either way, if you miss the ridiculous weight of the original, here it is again.
Officially Licensed Warhammer Products
The other half of this week’s preview is the licensed merch, and there is quite a bit of it this time between the Christmas stuff, clothes, plushes, and the usual assortment of things that somehow ended up with a Warhammer logo on them.
These items are only available directly from Games Workshop; stores were not solicited for them.
Christmas Decorations and the Chaos Star Tree Topper
GW has baubles and hanging decorations for the tree, then finishes the offering with an eight-pointed Chaos star on top.
The whole set won’t be available everywhere, though, because the tree decorations aren’t being sold in Japan.
Blood Angels and Goff Orks Socks, Hat, and Scarf
The socks come in Blood Angels and Goff Orks versions, while the Blood Angels also get a matching hat and scarf.
Servo Skull Mouse Mat, Bottle Opener, and Soulblight Gravelords Bottle Stopper
The servo skull gets used twice here, first on a mouse mat and then again as a bottle opener, while the Soulblight Gravelords get the bottle stopper for whatever red stuff is currently open, too.
That stopper won’t be available in Korea, either, so this is the second regional exclusion in the same preview after the Christmas decorations in Japan.
TOMY Plushes: Tech-Priest Manipulus, Bounca, and the Pink Horror
Three more Warhammer plushes are joining the TOMY range, with a Tech-Priest Manipulus, Bounca the squig, and a Pink Horror all getting turned into soft toys.
GW already beat everybody to the Pink Horror joke too, because cutting this one in half isn’t going to get you two Blue Horrors. You’re just going to have fluff everywhere, obviously.
Starforged Keyrings and Purity Seal Badges
Starforged closes things out with keyrings shaped like a plasma rifle, heavy bolt rifle, and Ministorum flamer, then adds purity seal badges for the Blood Ravens and Crimson Fists.
Final Thoughts on the Made to Order Orks Pre-Orders
None of these old Orks are going to change what somebody puts in a list, but that’s not really why this new product batch is interesting. Ghazghkull, Grotsnik, Zagstruk, and the rest have spent years living on the secondhand market, and for however long this window stays open, they’re back where you can just order them from GW instead.
If you’ve been after one of these specific old sculpts, that saves you from watching listings and deciding how badly you actually want a lump of metal from twenty or thirty years ago. Once GW closes the window, though, they’re right back to being secondhand-market models again.
