New miniatures for Legions Imperialis, along with the big White Dwarf 500 and model, will be available for pre-order next week!
This week has fewer main-line releases, but for those who want to expand their Warhammer collection by adding new Legions Imperialis minis or want to celebrate White Dwarf 500, it’s still a good one!
Warhammer’s White Dwarf 500 Celebration & Legions Pre-Orders Revealed
New Warhammer 40k releases were announced for pre-order, including the 500th issue of White Dwarf Magazine and some celebratory merch.
More new Legions Imperialis models are also on the way to fill out the line with new transport, fast attack, and heavy firepower options.
Here is the product lineup that will be available to pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, May 4th, 2024, around 1 p.m. EST in the States.
White Dwarf Issue 500
The 500th issue of White Dwarf has been released, and it’s a special edition of the magazine that spans 192 pages. It’s a nostalgic trip through the magazine’s history, including “The Cover Feature,” where the Eavy Metal team creates dioramas inspired by classic covers.
This time around, the magazine even delves into the making of the White Dwarf himself, Grombindal!
Grombrindal, The White Dwarf
A limited edition miniature of Grombrindal is set to be released alongside issue 500 of his own magazine, the White Dwarf.
The miniature is designed and painted to reflect the Mortal Realms in the Age of Sigmar. It can be pre-ordered from May 4th, 2024, and will be available for purchase until June 2nd, 2024.
White Dwarf 500 Merch Box
You can purchase the collection from the Warhammer Merch store starting from May 1st. Each box features a Grombrindal t-shirt, a double-sided White Dwarf 500 hoodie, a luxurious faux-leather journal, six postcards sporting covers from first-generation White Dwarf magazine covers, and a Grombrindal Displate to hang on the wall.
Solar Auxilia – Stormhammers
The Stormhammer is a massive and heavily armed fortress on wheels that often fights alongside smaller tanks in the Solar Auxilia line. This fearsome machine is capable of crushing its enemies with a variety of powerful weapons, including multi-lasers and lascannons.
This box set includes two of these super-heavy tanks.
Solar Auxilia – Malcador Squadron
Each box of Maclador Squadrons contains four tanks that can be equipped with various weapons, such as Malcador battle cannons, twin lascannons, or a Vanquisher battle cannon.
Dracosan Transport Detachment
With so many armored options in Legions Imperialis, the Solar Auxilia infantry sections can benefit from being transported to the front lines in Dracosan Transports.
This box contains six Draconsans that can be equipped with either twin lascannons or demolisher cannons to provide fire support.
Legiones Astartes – Sicaran Squadron
The Sicaran battle tank exemplifies the Legiones Astartes’ aggressive approach to warfare.
The box contains four tanks, each of which can be armed with either twin-linked accelerator autocannons or omega plasma arrays, and a choice of sponson-mounted heavy bolters or lascannons.
Legiones Astartes – Legion Fast Attack
This collection of vehicles is designed to help Space Marines perform quick strikes and adapt to battle. A single box contains 32 miniature figures, including Outriders, Scimitar Jetbikes, Javelin Land Speeders, and Land Speeders.
Legiones Astartes – Dreadnought Drop Pods
This is a pack of four Dreadnought Drop Pods, which can also be built as Palisade Drop Pods. They come equipped with a heavy shield generator that creates an ordnance-blocking field for troops to take cover.
Overall, the Warhammer community has some solid new releases to look forward to, with the new 500th White Dwarf and a selection of Legion Imperialis miniatures going up for pre-order.
