Sunday Preview – Count Down to Christmas with a King, a Crown, and some Classics

There’s just one week left before Christmas, but the Warhammer Community never sleeps.* There’s a fantastic schedule of releases and reveals still to come in 2022. Get into the holiday mood by watching the rowdy video for the Goff Rocker’s hit single ‘Ere We Go.

If you haven’t picked out your perfect Warhammer gifts yet, there’s still time to pop into your local store and fill your arms with plastic cheer. Alas, for many countries the online store’s Christmas shipping deadline has already passed but if you’re in the UK you still have a few hours – today (the 18th of December) is the last day for UK shipping. James Workshop has all the details
