The latest Warhammer Age of Sigmar pre-orders have arrived, and they’re as epic as a Stormcast Thunderstrike! 

Battletome: Orruk Warclans

Battletome Orruk Warclans

The Mortal Realms are in a right mess, thanks to Archaon and the Great Horned Rat stirring the pot. The Orruk Warclans, however, are thrilled—nothing like a bit of cosmic turmoil to justify cracking some skulls. Gorkamorka would approve.

The new Battletome: Orruk Warclans is a 128-page ode to brute strength and sneaky tactics. It’s got lore galore, rules for the brawny Ironjawz and the crafty Kruleboyz, and everything you need to bring da Waaagh! to life. Both factions get their own Battle Traits, Heroic Traits, magical gizmos, and all that jazz, with the Ironjawz scoring an exclusive Prayer Lore.

There are 16 warscrolls for Ironjawz and 17 for Kruleboyz, plus a shiny new Spearhead—the Ironjawz Big Mob. Fancy mixing raw power with clever trickery? The Big Waaagh! Army of Renown lets you smash these forces together.

Or, you can stick to your favorite flavor with bespoke armies for each side. On top of that, the Anvil of Apotheosis system lets you cook up your own legendary hero, and Path to Glory offers fresh campaigns for conquest. Oh, and don’t miss the Gamer’s Edition with reference cards—it’s a handy grab while it lasts.

Hobgrot Slittaboss

Hobgrot Slittaboss

These nasty little leaders boss around Hobgrot bands and are as vicious as they come. While they’ll work for anyone, they have a certain camaraderie with the equally shady Kruleboyz. The kit includes two head options—because sometimes you just want a different vibe.

Bossrokk Tower and Skaregob Totem

Bossrokk Tower and Skaregob Totem

The Orruks may not care much for architecture, but they know a good shouting platform when they see one. These imposing structures let the boss on top channel the Waaagh! energy and bark orders with style. Build either a Bossrokk Tower or a Skaregob Totem—your choice.

Orruk Warclans Manifestations

Orruk Warclans Manifestations

The Waaagh! magic isn’t just for smashing—it can also conjure wild magical manifestations. From the roaring Gork-Roara to the stomping Foot of Gork, these chaotic powers bring a lot of flair to the battlefield.

Both Kruleboyz and Ironjawz armies can use them, and they don’t cost a thing. How very orrukish.

Spearhead: Ironjawz Big Mob

Spearhead Ironjawz Bigmob

Charging into the Spearhead game mode, the Ironjawz Big Mob is here to smash everything in its path. Led by a hulking Megaboss, this formation includes three Brute Ragerz, five Brutes, and ten Ardboyz—all armored up and ready to rumble.

Killaboss with Stab-grot

Whether it’s the Stab-grot taking hits or the Pot-grot stirring up trouble, these are must-haves for Kruleboyz commanders.

Warscroll Cards
