One minute it’s December 1st, and the very idea of Christmas seems like a distant dream… then you close your eyes, and it’s Christmas Eve. Nevertheless, tomorrow is Christmas Day, and next week is New Year’s Eve – which means no new pre-orders on the Warhammer webstore.
But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to look forward to! We’ve got online treats coming up every day for the next week – and a very special Made to Order that goes up on the big day tomorrow.
Warhammer 40,000 Battle for Macragge – Made to Order
Wrap yourself in a cosy blanket of nostalgia with this special Christmas Day Made to Order release, which recreates the classic Battle for Macragge from the boxed set that launched the fourth edition of Warhammer 40,000 – straight out of 2004. This set contains 35 plastic miniatures: the Imperial Pilot Lieutenant Varras, 10 Space Marines, six Genestalers, eight Spore Mines, and 10 Termagants. There are also 17 pieces of terrain – six objective markers, the wreckage of a crashed Imperial Lander, and six infestation nodes.
This set will be available to order from 10am local time on Monday the 25th of December until 8am GMT on Tuesday the 2nd of January 2024. As a Made To Order product, this may take up to 180 days to ship.
While you’re recovering from opening all your presents and eating a feast fit for an ogor, tuck into some quality videos on Warhammer+. On Battle Report, the group stages of the Warhammer 40,000 Arena of Death tournament commence, as we watch the biggest names from the 41st Millennium battle to the death.
Loremasters takes a look at the Striking Scorpions, while Citadel Colour Masterclass takes inspiration from these long, frosty evenings to teach us all how to paint a winter camo scheme for Kasrkin.
You’ve also got until the 30th of December to watch a bunch of free Warhammer+ shows. There are two animations to enjoy: a group of Black Legion Terminators are tasked with recovering a xenos artefact by Abaddon the Despoiler himself in Hammer and Bolter, while a Tech-priest helps a rag-tag group survive against a Genestealer Cult in Patience of Iron from Angels of Death: Origins.
There’s also last year’s Christmas-themed episode of Battle Report – Kill Team: Shred ‘Til You’re Dead – as well as a Citadel Colour Masterclass on how to paint the Goff Rocker, and a Loremasters on the Dark Angels successor Chapters.
We’re off to hang our stockings and finish all of our last-minute preparations, but you won’t be without articles to read on Warhammer Community in the gap between Christmas and New Year. Tune in tomorrow for a huge reveal, followed by something special on Boxing Day. Throughout the week, there will be teases for what’s coming in 2024, as well as the result of this year’s Miniature of the Year vote.
We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
