Huge rumors are flying about tons of new Warhammer 40k Eldar miniatures and some tentative release dates for the second wave of plastic kits!
We’ve just seen the new plastic Striking Scorpions for Kill Team hit shelves, but according to these rumors, that’s just the start! This next wave of new Eldar models will focus heavily on the Aspect Warrior side of things, and supposedly, people have even seen the new Asurmen Phoenix Lord model.
RUMORS: New 40k Aeldari Miniatures & Wave 2 Eldar Release Dates
Here are the latest rumors from Valrak for the new Aeldari in 10th Edition. Remember, these are still rumors, so take them with as much salt as you need. Nothing is set in stone until Games Workshop says it.
Let’s start with the biggest giveaway. Valrak says Auspex Tactics has actually seen the new Asurmen model photos! Auspex is generally pretty close to rumors, and while that doesn’t make it 100% true, it gives a ton of credence to the new line!
We initially heard rumors about his release about five months ago, but now, with photo evidence, it means GW has started photographing their models and working on press releases. Once they do this, the models are generally about four to six months away.
However, it seems like this is only one of eight new kits the Eldar will be getting.

Unfortunately, the Dire Avengers kit is only about 20 years old, so according to these, they won’t be getting any new models. However, there are tons of new kits to look forward to!
Next up, supposedly, GW is aiming to get the rest of the Aspect Warriors’ new model kits. Swooping Hawks may be next up with a new Kill Team, just like the Striking Scorpions got (supposedly, GW forgot to make Karandras, but he will get a new model).
This is rumored to be before the 10th Edition codex release, with Baharroth coming once the Swooping Hawks release on their own or with the codex according to this.
Next up will be Fire Dragons with Fuegan. Given that this says late 2024/25, we expect them to drop with the codex and not some separate release. Both the Fire Dragons and Fuegan are super old models, so it only makes sense they get the new plastic model treatment! Obviously, GW changes its release dates pretty regularly, but for 10th edition they have stayed super close to the roadmap, so when they finally show the codex on there, expect the fire dragons not far behind supposedly.
The dates are the same for the Warp Spiders are the same as the Fire Dragons, so it’s easy to assume they may also drop with the codex. Maybe the biggest news, though, is that GW will come out with a new Phoenix Lord made just for the Warp Spiders! We’ll have to see on that one, but once this codex comes out, every Aspect Warrior and Phoenix Lord will have a new plastic model (well, if you count the early 2000s as new for Dire Avengers).
Overall, these are just rumors, and it’s important to take them with a grain of salt. However, the prospect of new Aeldari miniatures is exciting for Warhammer 40k players, especially those who favor the Aspect Warriors and Phoenix Lords. It looks like 10th Edition 40k is going to continue to be a great edition for Aeldari players!
