Get those hobby dollars ready if you want any of these pre-orders from Games Workshop that will go up for pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, April 2nd, 2022 around 1 pm EST!
AoS Arena of Shades, Eldar, & 40k Terrain Pricing CONFIRMED!
We’ve been seeing some of these for a while now, so it’s good to see them come out. All the Eldar stuff will be MTO, so it will take a while to get, but you’ll be guaranteed to get it. Let’s check it out!
Arena of Shades $195
The box includes two armies – the spectral Nighthaunt and the brutal Daughters of Khaine. Along with a selection of units that make an ideal starting army or reinforcements to an existing one, there are new models for both factions – the Scriptor Mortis and Craventhrone Guard for the Nighthaunt and the High Gladiatrix for the Daughters of Khaine.
As a pretty large box with plenty of variety in units, this is actually looking to be a pretty sweet army box! The new models are just a cherry on top, but clearly, some of us will want the box for them alone!
The two new characters are both looking dope, so these might be popular reasons to get the new box.
If that wasn’t enough, Nighthaunts are also getting a whole new unit inside too!
Battlezone: Fronteris – Nachmund $220
Bring your games of Warhammer 40,000 to life with the new Fronteris terrain. Not only are they cool and thematic – perfect for adding narrative flavour to your games – they’re also suitably chunky to block line of sight for your matched play games. Grab this kit to make your games more tactical and tightly fought.
If your someone looking to start your own 40k table, this terrain might just be your ticket in, as it’s more or less a complete board depending on size!
As a huge terrain set, this comes with a ton of pieces and is a fairly large project on its own, but if done correctly it will certainly help with emersion and gameplay by providing interesting play patterns.
Battlezone: Fronteris – STC Hab-Bunker and Stockades $80
First up is the STC Hab-Bunker and Stockades kit – this bunker acts as an ideal headquarters for a stronghold, while the new stockades can be assembled in multiple ways to create a perimeter that any enemy will struggle to break through.
As it would seem, you can also pick up a few of the pieces separately!
Battlezone: Fronteris – Landing Pad $70
Continue your expansion onto new worlds with the Landing Pad. It’s the source of transportation for a Fronteris base, helping to maintain the flow of supplies and reinforcements to the sharp edge of the Imperium.
As a simple pad, this might be able to fit on a ton of boards without looking out of place depending on the color scheme, which might make this a popular pickup.
Battlezone: Fronteris – Vox Antenna and Auspex Shrine $70
Finish off your outpost with a Vox-Antenna and Auspex Shrine. These large structures act as vital communication nodes and make great objectives to defend (or destroy!) in your games.
Just like the landing pad, we can see this fitting into a ton of board styles with slight painting changes, so maybe you should consider these for your own tables too.
Battlezone: Fronteris – Battlefield Gaming Boards $60
Set your games in an arid frontier setting with these moody new gaming boards. When put together, they make a battlefield that’s the perfect size for a 1,000 point game of Warhammer 40,000.
These boards are generally also the ones from the larger box sets so save yourself the hobby dollars and just pick up the box with the terrain and boards for maximum value!
Made to Order Aeldari
Hot on the heels of the new Aeldari codex and the stunning likes of the Dark Reapers and Avatar of Khaine, comes a selection of classic Aeldari kits available on a Made to Order basis.
Autarchs $32 Each
Autarchs are superlative strategists and martial experts who are ideal leaders for an Aeldari force, and their updated datasheet lets you field these miniatures in your games.
As far as MTO units go, these both look pretty decent even by modern standards, plus they have a ton of character making them super unique!
Farseer $32 Each
Farseers are master psykers, able to unleash a torrent of psychic attacks upon their enemies.
With a slightly less unique approach, these Farseers could pretty much fit into any list, making these an interesting alternative to the actual current farseer kit.
Harlequins Characters $32 Each
Finally, you can add to your Harlequins army with a classic Shadowseer, Death Jester, and Troupe.
Harlequins Troupe $55
All these classic miniatures are a great way to add variety and character to an Aeldari army on the tabletop, and they also work as fascinating painting projects
All of the MTO Harlequins are also looking great and not even that outdated, so be sure to pick them up if you want to spice up your own lists with some alternative models.
