Here is a first look at the new 40k Kill Team Nightmare box, Warcry Pyre and Blood, and Blood Bowl releases, which are hitting pre-order this weekend.
There’s good news this week for hobbyists who want to expand their Warhammer collection by adding unique models across ranges to their collections. Here are the new releases coming to pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, April 6th, 2024, around 1 p.m. EST here in the States.
New 40k Kill Team Nightmare Blood Bowl, Warcry: FIRST LOOK

Warhammer 40k Kill Team: NightmareÂ
Nobody in the 41st Millennium is a good guy, but few are this wicked. The latest boxed supplement for Kill Team sizes up two of the meanest groups of guys in the entire galaxy – the Night Lords vs the Mandrakes.Â
In the blue corner are the Nemesis Claws of the Night Lords Legion – an infinitely sadistic bunch of raiders, corsairs, and murderers who love nothing more than draping themselves in the flayed skin of anyone who gets in their way. In the glowing green corner are the Drukhari Mandrakes – an infinitely sadistic bunch of dimension-hopping shadow beings who love nothing more than draping themselves in the flayed skin of anyone who gets in their way.
So as you can imagine, their first meeting in a killzone is going to be bloody.
Kill Team: Nightmare contains 20 new plastic miniatures in the form of two complete kill teams, an new plastic Generatorum Hub terrain piece, a 96-page book containing full rules, background, and new scenarios, two decks of unit Datacards, two decks of other user cards, and two token sheets – one of each for both teams.
In 40k Kill Team Nightmare, the two sets of models have a cult following in the hobby. The Mandrakes always seem to be some Dark Eldar players’ favorite models, while Night Lords don’t get too many releases, making this unit a huge deal for them!
Kill Team Nightmare will also be the first chance to pick up these two squads before they are released separately in their own squad boxes, so the pricing for this box will be more upfront.
Wicked Brick Display Cases
An amazing paint job deserves the best protection, and Wicked Bricks’ display cases are the best way to show off and defend your precious miniatures. These will come in 30 different sizes, to accommodate everything from a single infantry model to a reasonably sized force, with optional backgrounds and plaques to give them even more pizazz. Look out for more information about these later in the week.
These displays are super awesome and a slick way to display your best projects, if you want to read more about them, you can here.
Warcry: Pyre & Flood
The battle for the Gnarlwood is no less nasty than the struggles occurring across Bheta-Decima, as we can see in the latest expansion box for Warcry.Â
The Nighthaunt are determined to set the Gnarlwood aflame as the Pyregheists are unleashed. These malevolent spirits haunt dark places, bringing Nagash’s enlightenment in the form of, er, burning death. Fortunately, the Lumineth fire brigade is on the case, in the form of the Ydrilan Riverblades, sacred aelementors who defend blessed waterways across the realms.Â
Will the Riverblades quench the Pyregheists’ thirst for vengeance, or will they go down in flames?
Warcry: Pyre and Flood contains two complete warbands, comprising 18 plastic miniatures, alongside an Idol of the Old Ones to add to your battlefields, a 64-page Warband Tome packed full of background and rules, and 62 cards, split across Fighter cards, Ability cards, and a full deck of Battleplan cards.
As with all Warcry warbands, some amazingly dynamic models are in here that are great for fans of either faction!
Wildercorps Hunters & Gorger Mawpack
Two more warbands are venturing back into the Gnarlwood as the Wildercorps Hunters and Gorger Mawpack, previously available in the Hunter and Hunted box, get solo releases. Each of these sets includes a complete warband – 11 miniatures for the Wildercorps Hunters and five for the Gorger Mawpack – and all the Fighter cards and Ability cards you need to use them in your games of Warcry. You may also deploy both units in larger games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar via their free downloadable Warscrolls.

As an old bundle box, these two warbands will finally be available as separate releases if you were waiting to snag them!

Glimdwarrow Groundhogs
And now is the moment you’ve been waiting for, as the game of fantasy football sees the fittest, most athletic, most professional team ever to play in the big leagues take to the field. That’s right, the Gnomes are here.
The Glimdwarrow Groundhogs are a collection of mischievous Gnomes, ready to bring their trickery, guile, and numerous woodland pals to the Blood Bowl pitch. The team includes 14 plastic miniatures – eight Linemen, two Illusionists, two Beastmasters with a choice of badger or goose companions, and two ball-thieving Woodland Foxes. You’ll also get balls and various tokens themed around the Gnomes.
As one of the funniest and most unique teams yet, these Gnomes are finally landing with all of their critters to help win games of Blood Bowl.
Spike! Journal Issue 17Â
The rules for using your new Gnome team to dominate the leagues are in issue 17 of Spike! Journal. As well as a team list, this volume includes a spotlight on the Glimdwarrow Groundhogs, advice for coaching this… unusual team, new Star Players, Gnome Garden Leagues and a Dungeonbowl update. All the usual features round out the issue, which you’ll be able to get in paperback and eBook formats.
If you want to play the Gnomes or learn about them, pick up this issue of Spike for the low-down on the newest team.
Gnome Team Dice, Cards, and Pitch Set
Coach your Gnomes in style with a range of themed accessories. The Gnome Team Dice Set features seven blue and red pearlised Blood Bowl dice, and the Gnome Team Card Pack features 44 cards covering your players, Star Players, new Special Play cards and blank cards for keeping track of your players in leagues. The Gnome Team Pitch and Dugouts set includes a double-sided pitch depicting a magical forest in the day and at night, complete with rules for playing on it, and a pair of dugouts.
Gnome Treeman
It’s, uh, possible that your Gnomes might need some help on the pitch if they’re to overcome some of the tougher teams out there, and that’s where the Gnome Treeman and Rodney Roachbait come in. The Treeman will add some punch to your scrimmage line, while Star Player Rodney Roachbait uses his trusty fishing rod to hook the ball right out from under the noses of opponents.
Rodney Roachbait Direct From Warhammer Webstore Only
Both of these new character options from Forge World add something special to the Blood Bowl team, so pick wisely… Or get both!
