Here’s the Warhammer The Old World new releases roadmap for 2025, release date, and previews for the upcoming miniatures and Arcane Journals!
Warhammer The Old World 2025 Release Dates & Roadmap LATEST:
Warhammer The Old World is the grand revival of the legendary Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) miniature wargame, making its triumphant return (technically debut) in January 2024 from Games Workshop. Armies of men, elves, Orcs, and dwarfs clashing in epic tabletop battles once more!
The Old World has finally arrived, and those classic square-based armies— noble Bretonnians, eerie Tomb Kings, and more—are back to ranking, flanking, and causing mayhem on our gaming tables again!
Updated November 4th, 2024, by Rob Baer. This post has been updated with the new release roadmap for 2024-25, along with the latest from the Dwarfen Mountain holds, terrain, etc, and the new Warriors of Chaos.
Launch Boxes
The Bretonnians and Tomb Kings heralded the game’s release with some pretty massive launch boxes, all the rules, and tokens you need to play.
Forget a single launch box for Warhammer: The Old World—GW came out with two giant core army boxes instead. Each box boasts a 1,250-point army packed with dozens of all-plastic miniatures. In these Launch Army Boxes, players get a full core rulebook, templates, dice, and everything else needed to dive straight into the action!
Warhammer The Old World Release Date Schedule:
The Bretonnians and Tomb Kings were just the first two of nine factions arriving for Warhammer the Old World. They were quickly followed by Orc & Goblin Tribes and Dwarfen Mountain Holds, which seem to indicate a themed set of opposing releases for the Forces of Fantasy and the Ravening Hordes that has held true for the Warriors of Chaos.
- These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints
- Games Workshop - Warhammer - The Old World: Core Set - Kingdom Of Bretonnia Edition (Boxed Set)
- Contains Warhammer: The Old World Rulebook packed with rules, background, and army showcases

Burlok Damminson Gets a New Resin Model For the Old World
Dwarf Engineers might just be the Old World’s top tinkerers, though they’re often stifled by the Engineering Guild’s obsession with “the old ways.” But every now and then, a young genius breaks the mold—and a few beards—by proving innovation is worth the risk. Case in point: Burlok Damminson.
This up-and-comer has pushed Dwarf engineering further than anyone thought possible, and his latest rendition, crafted in Forge World resin, is set to hit pre-orders early next year.
The Warriors of Chaos Battalion Box: Released September 14th, 2024

Packed with 44 miniatures, this set is a veritable smorgasbord of dread. Imagine 32 Chaos Warriors, clad in armor darker than your ex’s heart, marching relentlessly toward your foes.
They’re joined by 10 Chaos Knights who would put the bravest Bretonnian lance to shame, and to top it all off, two Chaos Chariots ready to trample over anyone foolish enough to stand in their way. Read more here

More Exclusive Minis Returning For Warhammer The Old World
And while there might not be other unreleased models coming to Warhammer: The Old World, he’s far from the only rarity to return. Many factions will receive a few surprises in this vein – and this isn’t the only noble knight on foot mustering for the Kingdom of Bretonnia.
While they didn’t say that this Exalted Hero of Chaos from the 2009 Games Day would be coming back in this Warhammer Old World new release roadmap, they did tease a little more about all the other exclusive models returning.
Grand Cathay & Kislev Miniature Releases
When it comes to enjoying Fantasy Warhammer, it sometimes feels like the physical tabletop gets left in the dust. Games Workshop has released an update for those with the Shadows of Change DLC for Total War: Warhammer 3, discussing Grand Cathay and Kislev faction updates.
Unfortunately, they dropped a little reminder for Warhammer The Old World players, which may be a bit disappointing if you were wondering where they fit in on this new release roadmap as far as a release date goes.
In May 2020, Games Workshop released an update on Kislev for Warhammer the Old World, but we haven’t seen much since.
