40k kill team banner

Last week we looked at what is coming up for pre-order on the 16th December, and this week we are once more taking a slightly further look ahead than usual, in order to highlight what will be available to pre-order on the 23rd of December. 

Note that products revealed and released the next month or so will be subject to a three-week pre-order period in order to accommodate Christmas. This means that models which go up for pre-order on the 23rd of December will be released in-store on the 13th of January – take a look

Kill Team: Salvation 

Kill Team Salvation

The next instalment of Kill Team pits Space Marine Scouts and Aeldari Striking Scorpions in tense skirmishes across the seabound rigs of Bheta-Decima. This box contains 10 all-new Space Marine Scouts and 10 all-new Striking Scorpions, five pieces of Mechanicus-themed terrain – and on top of that, there’s an exclusive 88-page Kill Team: Salvation manual that contains the lore and rules for both Kill Teams and an exclusive set of datacards and token sheets for each.

Killzone: Bheta-Decima

Bheta-Decima

Take the fight to the perilous rig complexes of Bheta-Decima with a new Killzone, which contains a game board and 18 pieces of terrain, including a Ferratonic Furnace with new components, a collection of gantries, and nine objective markers.

Daggok’s Stab-Ladz 

Daggok’s Stab-Ladz

Warbands are lured to the Deathgorge for all sorts of purposes, from pilfering treasure to syphoning souls. In the case of Daggok’s Stab-Ladz, it’s discretely detaching the heads of worthy opponents to steal their know-wotz. Daggok’s Stab-Ladz are dedicated to ensuring their boss rises to the rank of Killaboss, undertaking a range of kunnin’ schemes to cement his success.

Underworlds are a great source of unique models for AoS, and these new Kruleboyz fit the bill!

Malevolent Masks Rivals Deck 

Malevolent Masks Rivals Deck

An old Ghurish legend tells that a collection of six daemon-haunted masks carved by a mad artificer was lost when the Drakatoa the Living Avalanche destroyed the city that housed them. They have now resurfaced in the Deathgorge, willing warbands to harness their powers as they fight for victory – despite dangerous consequences. This brand new universal Rivals deck is easy to use – simply pick a warband, and then open, shuffle, and play your deck.

New Tyranids: Von Ryan’s Leapers Von Ryan’s Leapers

Lethal and nimble in equal measure, Von Ryan’s Leapers are supremely sneaky hunters that infiltrate battlefields, lying in wait to ambush their unsuspecting prey in a whirlwind of chitinous blades.

10th Ed launch Tyranids are finally seeing more models get separate releases, making it easier for fans to pick up specific models.

Winged Tyranid Prime Winged Tyranid Prime 1

The Winged Tyranid Prime is a powerful synapse creature adapted for rapid assaults, swooping into battle to command strikes on critical targets marked out by the Hive Mind.

HQs are always “in,” and this guy is always worth considering.

Neurogaunts 

Neurogaunts 1

The synapse network allows the Hive Mind to control its swarming forces on the ground, and Neurogaunts act both as living relays for synapse node-beasts and a wall of flesh and claws to stand between their leaders and the foe.

Gaunts are super common, so the new variant being more readily available is huge for the long run.

Horrors of the Hive 

Horrors of the Hive

The Horrors of the Hive are powerful bio-organisms that more than equal the most powerful mechanised weapons of their prey. This set includes a Screamer-Killer and a Neurotyrant with its two Neuroloid tokens – pure expressions of physical aggression and psychic domination.

These two are still bundled together, giving anyone who missed out on Leviathan the opportunity to buy them now.

Alpha Legion Saboteur Consul 

Alpha Legion Saboteur Consul

The Alpha Legion are exceptionally gifted in the art of deception, and the Alpha Legion Saboteur is a maestro of misdirection. He undertakes false operations to damage the command and logistical structures of enemy Legions with carefully planted explosives.
