More exclusives are on the way from in 2018-19 from Games Workshop, alongside new tournament figure exclusives as well. Take a look at the latest!
It’s been a crazy six months for the Warhammer Hobby since Adepticon when GW announced that exclusive minis would be coming to tournaments in 2019. Games Workshop already offers “exclusive models” at store openings and gatherings to entice more people to show up in person, so why not support bigger events too?
GW Exclusive Event Minis For Stores & Tournaments LATEST
Exclusive Models from 2018
The Guardian of Souls was part of the ‘in-store exclusive’ line with the Namba store in Japan back in the beginning of AoS 2.0.
Primaris Captain with Power Fist
The Primaris Captain with power Fist is yet another exclusive model that can only be found at various Games Workshop stores around the world during a grand opening or birthday. It retails for $35 at any Games Workshop store that has them available.
He comes armed with a power fist and plasma pistol. Now, if you are wanting to do some customization work, the head, shoulders, and backpack will be the easiest bits to swap out. His torso and cape are another matter since the cape section also holds one of the Captain’s legs. The front torso does have some room for custom iconography from any of your favorite Space Marine chapters.
Exclusive Bundles
As a part of a special promo a few months back, if you visited the Namba store in Japan, you could get this entire bundle. Everything in the bundle was exclusive. Bags, books, and even both models for AoS and 40k.
Exclusives Next in Line: Adepticon 2019
This mini was actually previewed back in March at Adepticon 2018. It’s important to remember that they previewed this model to us saying that this one MAY be available at Adepticon 2019. That means that GW could change their mind, they could pick a new mini, or just keep everything the same. Regardless of what happens, one thing is for sure.
We can start expecting more exclusive minis coming to Warhammer Community supported events. These minis originally started out mainly as in-store exclusives, but it looks like GW is wanting to bring even more people to their gatherings!
Of all the minis that we’ve seen labeled as exclusive, they are definitely sweet but not game-breaking. That’s a great thing because if they were overpowered, there would be an extremely controlled market and they would end up killing the game they align with. So with that being said, don’t worry if you aren’t able to get your hands on a special mini, but if you do they are super fun to add to your army or Hobby Showcase.
If you have managed to get your hands on an exclusive model, do you use it in your list? What do you think about the mini that might be coming to Adepticon 2019?
