New 2023 AoS General’s Handbook, Dawnbringers, & More Pricing CONFIRMED!
Well, this GHB will last for a year, so let’s hope people like the rules and such inside, accompanied by new regiments of renown with new models. Then, AoS is also getting the first Dawnbringers book, which GW said will be the first of many.
For Blood Bowl, they pick up a few teams, and Black Library is dropping a decent number of books, so there is plenty for most people to sink their teeth into.
Dawnbringers Book I – Harbingers: $40
Harbingers is the first chapter of the new Dawnbringers series, the prologue of an epic tale that tells of the Twin-Tailed Crusade as it marches out from Hammerhal. Beyond the walls of this great city, champions touched by destiny rally forces to bring down the intruders – or aid Sigmar’s expedition.
Book I commences the narrative with sections detailing the genesis of the Twin-Tailed Crusade, and the four Harbingers who herald just some of the challenges it will face. It contains a new Path to Glory battlepack centred around recruiting Harbingers and establishing communication outposts, as well as rules for the four new Harbinger heroes and each of the Regiments of Renown that fight alongside them.
Essentially acting as the Arks of Omen for AoS, expect some sweet rules and some big story developments in this narrative series.
Dawnbringers Book I – Harbingers (Limited Edition)
Celebrate the Twin-Tailed Crusade with a limited edition that features a soft-touch cover, gold foil blocking for the text, and gilt page edges. Each limited edition is numbered internally, and they are limited to just 500 copies, so you’ll want to act fast if you want to get yours.
If you are especially excited, try getting this slick limited edition.
General’s Handbook – Pitched Battles 2023-24: $50
Matched play in Warhammer Age of Sigmar is getting an update with the latest instalment of the General’s Handbook. This book, which is designed to last for a full year of matched play, contains a new battlepack focusing on the primal magic infusing the wild tundras of Andtor. Those with a suitable grasp of magic can take advantage of this wellspring of power, but they must beware wizard-hunters wielding powerful nullstone enhancements. The battlepack is filled with thematic new rules, including bespoke core battalions, grand strategies, battle tactics, and 12 new battleplans.
As the yearly update to AoS rules, this is a key piece to staying on top of the game, hopefully pushing the game in the correct direction!
Dawnbringers: Fyreslayers – Fjori’s Flamebearers: $130
Fjori’s Flamebearers are a cohort of Fyreslayers led by the eponymous Fjori, a Grimhold Exile who fights for the honour of his lost kin. These mighty individuals are as inspiring as they are tragic, survivors from fallen magmaholds. He is accompanied by 10 Vulkite Berzerkers, as well as five Auric Hearthguard and five Hearthguard Berzerkers – who can be built as 10 of either, if you don’t want to run the Regiment of Renown in your Order armies.
Nothing can stop an angry dwarf, and with this new bundle, you get one more character option to add to your lists!
Dawnbringers: Gloomspite Gitz – Braggit’s Bottle-snatchaz: $130
Grots may be weak on their own, but together they form a mighty horde who will stop at nothing to fulfil their deranged desires. The Rabble-Rowza Braggit summons squigs and grots alike to his cause with the help of his booming voice and enchanted squig skull. He leads the collective of crazed greenskins called the Gobbapalooza, a Squig Herd of 10 famished Cave Squigs and the two unfortunate Squig Herders who prod them into battle, plus 10 Squig Hoppers – who can be built as Boingrot Bounderz, if you don’t want to run the Regiment of Renown in your Destruction armies.
Gits really are a jolly bunch, and the new model here even sports the brand new Squig-bats!
Dawnbringers: Flesh-eater Courts – Jerrion’s Delegation: $130
The Marrowscroll Herald Jerrion acts as an envoy for the vampiric powers that rule the Flesh-eater Courts, a horrifying carrion creature of wizened flesh and bloodied bone who appears as a noble envoy to those intoxicated by his cannibal madness. He leads 20 frenzied Crypt Ghouls, plus three Crypt Flayers and three Crypt Horrors – which can be built as six of either if you don’t want to run the Regiment of Renown in your Death armies.
Flesh-eater Courts have some wild lore, and some older models, so seeing a new one is exciting for fans.
Dawnbringers: Maggotkin of Nurgle – Phlugoth’s Shudderhood: $130
Unlike the rest of Nurgle’s devotees, Harbingers of Decay have no sense of humour whatsoever, and share their mirthless misery with foes and followers alike. Unfortunately for their foes, the grim demeanour of these sickening soothsayers is only matched by their rotten efficacy in battle. Phlugoth leads five Putrid Blightkings and two Pusgoyle Blightlords – one of which can instead be built as a Lord of Afflictions, if you don’t want to run the Regiment of Renown in your Chaos armies.
Featuring a fantastic model update to the Harbinger, this is sure to be a solid success for fans.
Gutter Bowl: The Game of Street-Level Fantasy Football Mayhem: $60
Leave the glitz of the stadium and take your game to the streets and sewers of the Old World in Gutter Bowl, the anarchic game of amateur Blood Bowl action. This is not the realm of professional sportsmen and Cabalvision glamour – it’s played in the gutters, where players smash through market stalls, balls bounce off sewage pipes, and aspiring legends vie for the attention of the leagues. Rules? What rules?
Gutter Bowl is compatible with any Blood Bowl team you have handy, making it a great way to get extra mileage out of your old stalwarts or start a brand new squad. The expansion contains the Gutter Bowl rulebook, a double-sided game board with streets on one side and sewers on the other, and two matching dugouts.
Add in some extra flair with the new Gutterball ruleset adding a new way to play blood bowl with the same teams.
Old World Alliance Blood Bowl Team: The Middenheim Maulers: $50
Combine the best of the Human, Dwarf, and Halfling worlds in the Old World Alliance Blood Bowl Team. This pack of 15 multi-option plastic players builds a diverse and capable team with hardy Blockers, dependable Throwers, and whatever the Halflings are good at, giving coaches a flexible new approach to team building that can cover many of its own weaknesses.
Side with the forces of good that have quite a variety of Order faction models all taking to the field in this diverse team.
Old World Alliance Team Card Pack: $33.50
Keep track of your players with this pack of Team Cards, containing 44 reference cards specifically for the Old World Alliance team. Alongside rules reminders and positional cards to fill in for your own players, this deck also includes 16 unique Special Play cards designed specifically for the Old World Alliance.
Underworld Denizens Blood Bowl Team: The Underworld Creepers: $50
Sneak your way up the pitch and engage in some downright dirty trickery with the Underworld Denizens Blood Bowl team, combining the best of the Goblin and Skaven teams into one all-star package. This pack of 12 downright dastardly plastic miniatures contains some of the stealthiest players ever seen on the gridiron, such as the lightning-quick Gutter Runner – perfect for scoring a sudden touchdown while your Goblin Linemen keep your opponent busy.
Take advantage of the short and willy bunch found in the underworld with this sweet Blood Bowl team.
Underworld Denizens Team Card Pack: $33.50
The Underworld Denizens also get their own pack of Team Cards, with rules references and Special Play cards designed to keep your head out of the rulebook and mind on the game.
Children of Teclis
Teclis defeated Nagash in a magical duel that will go down in history, and the Great Necromancer’s tomb is now guarded by his children, the Lumineth Realm-lords. Gods are never truly dead, however, and Loreseeker Elarin the Illuminated is searching for knowledge to prevent Nagash’s eventual resurrection.
Meanwhile the Idoneth Deepkin, Teclis’ abandoned offspring, seek to use the same power to restore their withered souls – no matter the cost. Evan Dicken’s Children of Teclis has these close cousins battle each other at great cost, and is available to pre-order next week in hardback, eBook, and audiobook format.
Factions and relations are a complicated thing in AoS, and this book aims to make that obviously clear as two different factions under Teclis clash!
Grombrindal: Chronicles of the Wanderer
Tales of an aged traveller who fights, crafts, and shares stories echo across the stone halls, scorching magmaholds, and bustling skyborne cities of the duardin. This anthology by David Guymer collects seven tales of the legendary Grombrindal in one place. It’s available to pre-order next week in paperback format.
Grombrindal is THE White Dwarf, making him an obviously impactful part of Fantasy and the Age of Sigmar. Hopefully, this book is equally as impressive as his lore!

40k JOYTOY Terminator Captain: $76.69
Click on these links to order yours for less: Flyima | Locker Toys | Entertainment Earth | Sideshow Collectibles | Amazon | or eBay |
At first glance, they packed some great detail into this figure, and he looks very much like the mini! He doesn’t have a crazy amount of extra parts, but plenty to get him in a bunch of poses.
Overall, just a great model, and if your small Terminators see him, they better perform on the battlefield!
40k JOYTOY Primaris Captain: $44.90
Click on these links to order yours for less: Flyima | Locker Toys | Entertainment Earth | Sideshow Collectibles | Amazon | or eBay |
While we’ve had a lot of Ultramarines, it’s always cool to get more characters!
His power sword is pretty giant and awesome! Plenty big enough to cut through those new Tyranids. Again, he doesn’t have a ton of bits, but you can go without or without the cape, and you don’t even have to wear a helmet if you’re too cool.

New Primarch Guilliman Pre-Order: $143
Click on these links to order yours for less: Flyima | Locker Toys | Entertainment Earth | Sideshow Collectibles | Amazon | or eBay |
At first glance, they packed all sorts of detail into this figure!
You’ll also get two head options with the figure, but that only makes sense, as you need to have the option to be too cool for helmets if you want it! If you have him on the table watching over your games, how can you possibly lose?
New Grandmaster Voldus: $80
Click on these links to order yours for less: Flyima | Locker Toys | Entertainment Earth | Sideshow Collectibles | Amazon | or eBay |
Nothing quite matches the flair of a named character! As a Terminator, Voldus will be a pretty decent size. If you have him on the table watching over your games, you’ll have his blessing while hunting daemons. (he is an excellent Psyker, after all)
New Blood Angels Assault Terminators: $378
Click on these links to order yours for less: Flyima | Locker Toys | Entertainment Earth | Sideshow Collectibles | Amazon | or eBay |
It’s always awesome to get full squads, and what’s more intimidating than some assault terminators? From the looks of it, these don’t have an insane number of bits, but they still look great, and we expect them to be super articulate.
They even give them some serious fangs, which is just awesome!
Ultramarine Primaris Chaplain Brother Varus: $66
Click on these links to order yours for less: Flyima | Locker Toys | Entertainment Earth | Sideshow Collectibles | Amazon | or eBay |
This is possibly the coolest Chaplain we’ve seen yet! Picking this up will really buff up your collection. He doesn’t have a huge number of options, but plenty to make some really cool dioramas!
Warhammer 40k JOYTOY Kayvaan Shrike Action Figure:
Click on these links to order yours for less: Flyima | Locker Toys | Entertainment Earth | Sideshow Collectibles | Amazon | or eBay |
At first glance, they packed some great detail into this figure, and he looks very much like the mini!
If you play the raven boys, you might as well get one of their best-known characters to watch over your games and give you extra luck. As we said, this is on pre-order now but should be shipping out in July. So not long to wait now.
Like with a lot of the models, you can either go bareheaded or throw on the helmet for that extra bit of protection.
