Will there be a new Games Workshop Exclusive this Holiday Season? Check out the latest new miniature rumors for Sisters of Battle, Boxing day, and more!
Boxing day is held on December 26th of every year and lately, for GW, a new model sneaks its way onto the shelves then. Let’s check out some rumors for this year.
Every year, “Boxing Day” is held by GW where a new/exclusive model pops up in their stores for a very short time. We’ve been seeing some rumors floating around the web of one or two models coming to this year’s Boxing Day! Let’s break everything down. But first, check out last year’s Boxing Day model. It was The man. The myth. The legend…SLY MARBO.

2018 Boxing Day Rumors
The latest rumor comes from Lord Perversor on Dakka:
Adding a little snippet of info my local Redshirt told me today there is at least 1 maybe 2 exclusive models that may show up before Xmas (he said prolly for the 26th since they have some kind of huge season event in store) but he’s still on the dark about the true nature of those.
His personal bet and hope it’s the already previewed Sister miniature.
Going off of the exclusives we’ve seen this year, could this be not just one…but TWO new Primaris Lieutenants? We don’t have enough yet.
In all seriousness, what could these exclusive models be? Let’s think about the timeline. Chapter Approved will is supposedly right around the corner in December, when Boxing Day finally arrives and the BETA Sisters of Battle codex will be in it.
Could we see a new Sisters model pop up then to help get the GW hype train started?
This was the first Sister model previewed by GW, as a proof of concept piece.
Would it make sense for this model to pop up…especially with the Sisters beta codex looming?
What do you think the new Boxing Day model(s) are going to be? Would you like to see a Sisters model?
