- Collector’s Edition: $110 CAD$130
- Limited Chaos Legions Edition: $250 CAD$250
Ever tried to fix a problem and accidentally turned your buddies into walking tin cans? Welcome to the Thousand Sons’ brand of “oops.” After a misfired magical makeover left most of them hollow and glowing, the rest decided to double down and go full wizard-warrior.
This 120-page book of brain-melting power walks you through their warped past, tricked-out units, gear galore, and five playstyles ranging from beastly birdmen to calm, collected spell-slinging statues.
Feeling fancy? Pledge your… allegiance… for the Collector’s Edition. We’re talking exclusive cover, green foil edges, black ribbon bookmark – the kind of thing a sorcerer would casually toss on their arcane bookshelf. But blink and it’s gone – stock’s limited.
Now, for the real treat – the Limited Edition box that feels like it was crafted in a warp-fueled Etsy shop. You’ll get the special codex, five art prints, a medal fragment (collect ’em all!), six heavy-duty objective markers, a stack of Stratagem cards, and enough datasheets to make your enemies weep. All tucked inside a premium slipcase.
Warpflame Thrallband Battleforce Pre-Order: $210 CA$260 €170 £125
Three sorcerers and their favorite murderbots walk into a battlefield… and things get wild. This box brings serious heat with three Exalted Sorcerers, five Scarab Terminators, 10 Rubric Marines, and four new stealthy Sekhetar Robots.
Throw in a transfer sheet bursting with icons and you’re ready for the warp. Be sure to check out the values and pricing of this box in our full review article here.
Combat Patrol Thousand Sons Pre-Order: $170 CAD$200 £100 €130
Zadophon the Soul Eater (yep, that’s his actual title) runs his own side hustle of Rubric Marines and bird-headed Tzaangors. Backed up by a Daemon Prince and a Shaman who definitely isn’t in it for the wellness benefits, this crew hits the table ready to turn rituals into results.
The box includes: 1 Daemon Prince, 1 Tzaangor Shaman, 3 Tzaangor Enlightened, 10 Rubric Marines, and enough transfers to decorate everything short of your actual house.
Thousand Sons Dice Pre-Order: $33.50 CAD$38 £19 €24
Datasheet Cards: $35 CAD$41 £20.50 €26
With as much juggling as these sorcerers do, you’d think extra arms came standard. Make things easier with 39 quick-reference cards and 16 shimmering blue dice stamped with Tzeentch’s mark. Roll like a pro, no mutation required.

Back in the woods, the pointy-eared guardians are prepping for war. This 48-pager dishes out lore, legendary characters, new rules, and enough woodland fury to make a lumberjack nervous.

Store Special Order & Direct From Games Workshop
All the Warhammer The Old World models listed below are exclusively available through special order at stores or directly from Games Workshop.
This suggests that they may not anticipate high sales volumes, or perhaps the profit margins for these items are a bit tighter than usual. Regardless of the reason, GW seems to have a limited quantity available for this release!
Orion, the King in the Woods
He’s back – with his horn, hounds, and enough fury to shake the canopy. A walking divine temper tantrum, Orion hits the battlefield with two loyal pups and a plan: smash everything.
Araloth, Lord of Talsyn
Not your average pointy-eared prince, Araloth brings the pain with his hawk pal Skaryn and a penchant for frontline brawling. Dressed for war and ready to scrap, he’s a plastic blast from the past.
High Elf Noble on Dragon
This noble rides a dragon that looks like it skipped leg day but never missed a wings workout. Metal body, plastic wings, and a bunch of paper banners for that “my dragon’s cooler than yours” energy.
Returning Metal Wood Elf Characters
- Set of three Wood Elf Nobles on foot,
- Set of four Wood Elf Mages on foot
- The Branchwraith
- Wood Elf Noble on an Elven Steed
- Wood Elf Noble on a Great Stag]
- Noble on a Great Eagle
- Wood Elf Mage on a Warhawk.
Your classic lineup of warriors, spell-slingers, and angry forest spirits are back in metal. From mounted nobles to mystical dryads, these characters cover all your forest fantasy needs – with attitude.
Returning Metal Wood Elf Units
- Wardancer troupes
- Waystalkers
- Warhawk riders
- Treemen
- Tree Kin
- The Wood Elf Beast Pack
Wardancers pirouette their way into battle (and probably onto someone’s face), while Waystalkers and Waywatchers handle things the sneaky way. It’s ballet meets ambush.
High Elf Loremaster
Sword in one hand, spell in the other – this High Elf doesn’t do anything halfway. Expect him to show up, cast spells mid-swing, and still look smug about it.
Silver Helms
Noble kids on shiny horses charging full speed ahead – Silver Helms are here to make an entrance. Comes with enough gear for two squads and more heraldry than a royal parade.
Arcane Frogs
Yes, they’re frogs. Yes, they’re adorable. Yes, they exist purely to mock your opponent’s terrible luck. Turn their champion into a croaker and drop one of these resin bad boys on the field. Job done.

So there you have it—whether you’re diving into the arcane mischief of the Thousand Sons or embracing your inner tree-hugger with the Wood Elves, this week’s pre-orders are packed with enough magic and mayhem to keep your hobby heart racing
