New Warhammer 40k Pre-Order Releases:
Reinforcements are en route, as the latest releases for Warhammer 40k pre-orders have just hit the scene! These factions have new products that are locked, loaded, and ready for action.
Death Korps of Krieg Army Set
Life on Krieg is all about grit, sacrifice, and relentless warfare. These folks don’t mess around. The Death Korps of Krieg Army Set brings that grim vibe to your tabletop with 18 fresh plastic miniatures. Leading the charge is the indomitable Lord Marshal Dreir, astride his trusty Krieg steed, backed by a cavalry of 10 Death Riders, heavy artillery, and a team of Combat Engineers equipped with a remote mine—because subtlety isn’t their strong suit.
To top it off, this set premieres the Codex: Astra Militarum, a 168-page masterpiece packed with lore and rules to crush your enemies in Warhammer 40,000. Throw in a deck of 68 tactical cards and a transfer sheet with 803 decals, and you’ve got everything you need to march into battle with style. Be sure to check out our contents values and pricing post to see how much you’ll save with this new Army box.
Battlefield Trophies
If your battlefield doesn’t look like chaos walked through and left its junk, are you even playing Warhammer? The Battlefield Trophies set is here to mess up your bases with 288 pieces of glorious debris, from shattered servo-skulls to battle-worn helmets of all kinds.
Want a half-dead Space Marine on display? It’s in there. The only limit is your imagination—or how gruesome you’re willing to get.
New Middle Earth Battle Strategy Game Pre-Order Releases:
The latest Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game releases are almost here! Packed with stunning miniatures, powerful heroes, and enough tactical options to keep you strategizing for days, these pre-order goodies are the perfect way to kick off your next adventure in Tolkien’s legendary realm.
Haleth™ & Háma™, Princes of Rohan™
Two princes, two vibes: one’s the action-hero soldier, the other’s a sensitive poet. But when Rohan’s under threat, they’re both suiting up to defend their homeland. This plastic kit includes mounted and on-foot versions of each prince, along with a choice of bare heads or helmets. Fancy options, eh?
Héra™, The Bride of Death
Tragedy meets courage in the story of Héra, The Bride of Death. Her final stand is the stuff of legends, and now you can recreate her tale with a stunning Forge World resin model. Choose between a standard shield or one that’s seen better days—because nothing says “epic” like a battered shield.
Wulf™ & General Targg™
Wulf’s got a grudge against the King of Rohan, and he’s spent years building an army of Hill Tribesmen to settle the score. Joining him is General Targg, a no-nonsense warrior with a chip on his shoulder the size of a mountain. This plastic kit features mounted and on-foot versions of both, so you can plot their revenge however you see fit.
Shank & Wrot, Orc Scavengers
Meet Shank and Wrot, two Orcs who’ve turned looting into an art form. When they stumble across the battlefield of the Hornburg, they don’t waste time picking through the spoils—especially with a handy Snow Troll on call to scare off any would-be meddlers. Perfect for adding a touch of chaos to your army.
Returning Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game Miniatures
Old favorites are back! Legendary heroes like Bard the Bowman, Galadriel, Celeborn, and Thranduil are ready to lead your armies once again, alongside heavy hitters like the Gondor Battlecry Trebuchet and Iron Hills Ballista. On the baddie side, you’ve got monsters like the Cave Troll, the Goblin King, and the terrifying Watcher in the Water, plus plenty of Orcs, Uruk-Hai, and evil artillery.
Returning Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game Terrain
Set the scene for your epic battles with new Rohan terrain. Build out your battlefield with Rohan Houses, Watchtowers, and Palisades, or go big with the Rohan Stronghold set, which includes enough pieces to transform your table into a miniature version of Edoras itself.
New Black Library Pre-Order Releases
The latest Black Library pre-order titles are here; they’re hotter than a Salamander’s forge! Whether you’re into far-future battles, mysterious quests, or tales of heroism, there’s usually something for everyone.
Leontus: Lord Solar
When a battle against Orks takes a bad turn, the legendary Lord Solar Leontus lands smack in the middle of the action—and he’s not here to just survive. He’s here to win. With roving Ork forces and enslaved populations in his way, this story is a wild ride through courage, strategy, and sheer determination. Pick it up in hardback, eBook, or audiobook formats.
Soldiers of the Imperium
Get ready for a triple dose of action with Death World, Kasrkin, and Witchbringer, all packed into one omnibus. Add in four short stories, and you’ve got a front-row seat to the chaos of the Imperium’s most legendary human warriors. Jungle fights, war zones, and psychic mayhem—it’s all here.
Renegades: Lord of Excess
Follow the twisted path of an Emperor’s Children warlord in Renegades: Lord of Excess, now in paperback. It’s a brutal, no-holds-barred look at Fulgrim’s legion that’ll leave you questioning what it means to truly seek glory.
Requiem Infernal
When Astra Militarum survivors show up at a quiet Adepta Sororitas convent, they bring more than just trouble—they bring chaos. Requiem Infernal is a gripping tale of faith, betrayal, and the darkness that lies within.
The Imperial Infantryman’s Handbook
Your guide to life as a Guardsman is back, complete with everything you need to survive—and avoid punishment—in the trenches. Curious about the penalty for not owning the Uplifting Primer? Let’s just say it’s not worth finding out the hard way.
