We’re buzzing with anticipation of the reveals coming at Warhammer Fest this weekend, but that’s not all the week has in store. There are more reveals from the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, more pre-orders, and the latest additions to Warhammer+ all on their way.
Combat Patrol: World Eaters
It’s been more than eight weeks, eight days, eight hours, and eight minutes since we revealed Combat Patrol: World Eaters, and the angriest box of miniatures in the galaxy is finally coming to pre-order after an unavoidable delay in the warp. This is the perfect way to start a new World Eaters army or add to Angron’s horde, containing 20 Khorne Berzerkers and 10 Jakhals, led by the super-flexible World Eaters Lord on Juggernaut – who can also be built as Lord Invocatus.
Made to Order: Champions of Chaos
The Long War against the corpse-worshipping cult of the Imperium has seen the rise and fall of many infamous champions of Chaos. Add a bit of nostalgic flair to your Heretic Astartes collection with this Made to Order run of classic characters and fan-favourite miniatures taken from across the Traitor Legions.
These kits will be available to order for nine days, between the 29th of April and 8am BST on the 7th of May – and they can take up to 180 days to arrive.
Abaddon the Despoiler, Typhus Herald of Nurgle, Ahriman the Sorcerer, Fabius Bile, Khârn the Betrayer, the Chaos Lord with Combi-melta, the Chaos Lord with Plasma Pistol, and four Traitors of Chaos will be available in metal (with classic plastic backpacks for the Traitors of Chaos), and the Heretic Astartes Daemon Prince will be available in resin.
Warhammer Underworlds: Wyrdhollow
The first expansion for the latest season of Warhammer Underworlds is here, as two warbands sizzling with arcane energy plunge deeper into the depths of the Gnarlwood. The three Knights-Arcanum of Domitan’s Stormcoven spit holy lightning from their fingertips and quest in the name of Sigmar, while Ephilim the Unknowable – apprentice to one of Tzeentch’s infamous Gaunt Summoners – warps the energies of his own daemonic followers to cast powerful spells turn after turn.
As well as two full warbands, Wyrdhollow also contains four preconstructed decks – one for each warband and two universal decks – suitable for the Rivals format, plus a game board, piles of useful dice and tokens, and a concise rulebook filled with background lore.
Amon Hen™ Fallen Head Statue
If you’re looking to recreate the climactic battle of the Fellowship of the Ring at Amon Hen, you can’t be doing without the most interesting terrain piece there – that giant stone head from an age of past glory. Luckily for you, Forge World is bringing this fascinating fallen statue to the tabletop with an intricately detailed resin terrain piece, cast in one solid piece so all you need to do is paint it up and hide it amidst the trees. Better yet, you can complete the rest of the iconic scene with the Ambush at Amon Hen collection on the Games Workshop webstore.
Base Paint Set
Get 15 of the most universally used Citadel Base paints with this handy bundle, containing Abaddon Black, Corax White, Mechanicus Standard Grey, Wraithbone, Mephiston Red, Rhinox Hide, Mournfang Brown, Bugman's Glow, Zandri Dust, Averland Sunset, Macragge Blue, Waaagh! Flesh, Orruk Flesh, Leadbelcher, and Balthasar Gold.*
Layer Paint Set
Once you’ve got your basecoats down, you’ll want to layer up some bright and bold colours.

Contrast Paint Set
Contrast paints can turn a single flat basecoat into a detailed landscape of shadows, highlights, and midtones with just one application, and a wide collection will give you all kinds of options for painting miniatures quickly and easily. This set of nine Contrast paints includes Black Legion, Apothecary White, Guilliman Flesh, Snakebite Leather, Skeleton Horde, Gutrippa Flesh, Asurmen Blue, Blood Angels Red, and Imperial Fist.
For best results, apply one even coat of Contrast paint over a basecoat of White Scar, Wraithbone, or Grey Seer Citadel Spray paint.*
Shade Paint Set
Finish off your models with some deep, dramatic shadows courtesy of the Shade Paint Set, comprising nine of the most popular colours in the range. The old stalwart Nuln Oil is joined by Agrax Earthshade, Drakenhof Nightshade, Reikland Fleshshade, Seraphim Sepia, Soulblight Grey, Biel-Tan Green, Carroburg Crimson, and Cassandora Yellow.*
Rogal Dorn: The Emperor’s Crusader (German Edition)
The sixteenth instalment in the monumental Primarchs series – Rogal Dorn: The Emperor’s Crusader by Gav Thorpe – is here in German for the first time. Rogal Dorn launches a new campaign into a knot of worlds beyond even the Emperor’s psychic sight and it will take more than one Legion to attain victory. This dangerous mission has therefore been entrusted to no fewer than four mighty Primarchs, and it’ll take all of Dorn’s strategic cunning to see his Imperial Fists victorious on the far side of the Northern Major Warp Storm. This German language edition is available in hardback and eBook formats.
Stormcaller
The famed Space Wolves Rune Priest Njal Stormcaller returns in Stormcaller by Chris Wraight, a Black Library classic now available as an audiobook for the first time. The sons of Russ find themselves on a plague-wracked world reinforcing Ecclesiarchy troops desperately trying to reclaim it, but tempers are flaring between the Fenrisians, and Njal will have to contend with disorder within his own pack as well as a seed of corruption if he’s to deliver the world from darkness.
The Seraphon take over Warhammer+ this week with an illuminating Lizards vs Wizards Battle Report against the fiendish Disciples of Tzeentch, using the new Battletome: Seraphon. The forces of Order and Chaos are bitter foes, and the new Seraphon Army Set is joined by a Realmshaper Engine to keep the magic soaring through the air.
Meanwhile Blacktalon returns for its third episode as Neave continues her hunt for the enemies of Sigmar.
