After months of waiting, Warhammer The Old World Starter Boxes Pre-Order will finally be available, as the Bretonnian and Tomb Kings of Khemri kits will be available on the 6th of January!
Warhammer The Old World is the most anticipated Games Workshop title of 2023. The system aiming to resurrect the pre-Age of Sigmar Warhammer Fantasy was announced back in 2019, and after years of waiting, we can get our hands on the new (old?) kits of the Kingdom of Bretionnia and the Tomb Kings of Khemri – as early as January!
Warhammer The Old World Starter Boxes Pre-Order Available Next Saturday
Games Workshop announced on the last day of 2023 that the first The Old World boxes become available for pre-order on January 6th – the first Saturday of the new year! But what exactly can you get to relive the best period of the Mortal Realms in the coming month?
Warhammer The Old World Starter Boxes Pre-Order
Warhammer: The Old World Core Set – Kingdom of Bretonnia Edition
This box is an incredible starting point for everyone that wants to start – or return to – the Old World with Bretonnia. The box boasts an incredible amount of 76 miniatures, with 75 returning models and the new Lord of Bretonnia on Royal Pegasus – as well as the Core Rulebook, reference sheet, dice, templates, measuring sticks and a Bretonnian transfer sheet.
Warhammer: The Old World Core Set – Tomb Kings of Khemri Edition
The second launch faction will be the Tomb Kings of Khemri, who will arrive as a force of 93 models. 91 of them are plastic versions of the Warhammer Fantasy Battles miniatures, while 2 of them are new: the Tomb Prince and the Liche Priest on Necrolith Bone Dragon. This set will also include all of the same additions as the Bretonnia box, bar the transfer sheets.
Warhammer The Old Work Rulebook, Ravening Hordes and Forces of Fantasy Books
If you just need the rulebooks and other supplements, you will be able to purchase them separately to field your old armies again!
The Kingdom of Bretonnia
Arcane Journals: Kingdom of Bretonnia
This Book is the perfect expansion for Bretonnia players, as it contains lore, two Armies of Infamy and 3 Heroes of Legend.
Battle Standard Bearer on Royal Pegasus
These Paladins are the perfect leaders for your Bretonnian forces, as their Royal Pegasi can bring them where they need to be.
Pegasus Knights
Escorting the Standard Bearer are the plastic Pegasus Knights, and elite unit of any Bretonnian army.
Grail Knights and Grail Knights Command
After ruling the skies, you need some ground support with this kit, which is enough to give you a small force of Grail Knights or a Command squad armed with a Standard Bearer and a Musician.
Battle Pilgrims and Grail Reliquae
The first metal kit of the Bretonnian range available for pre-order next Saturday, which is enough for a smaller force that can be expanded upon with additional Pilgrims.
Mounted Yeomen and Command
Every serf in Bretonnia strives to be a Yeoman, serving as scouts for the main body of the army. While the horses are plastic, their riders are metal, combining the past and future of Warhammer.
Handmaiden of the Lady
For magical support, Handmaidens are the best choice – and they can be built as Damsels or Prophetess’ as well!
Battle Standard Bearer on Foot and on Mount
Either aiding your foot soldiers or your cavalry, the Standard Bearer will inspire all of your army while striking fear to your enemies.
Questing Knight Paladin with Great Weapon
Searching for the goal of their Grail Quest, these fabled warriors can aid their friends in battle before moving on to finish their task.
Kingdom of Bretonnia Reference Deck and Dice
For ease of play and a great set of Old World dice – a great addition to every Bretonnia player!
Tomb Kings of Khemri
Arcane Journal: Tomb Kings of Khemri
Similar to the Kingdom of Bretonnia, the Tomb Kings also get a new paperback journal to help build their rattling forces!
Tomb Guard
The brunt of the armies of Khemri, these Tomb Guard rose with their masters – as well as Warhammer: The Old World – to serve even in undeath.
Sepulchral Stalkers/Necropolis Knights
These fast snake constructs (or snake riders) are the vanguard force of the Tomb Kings, capable of delivering devastating Alpha Strikes.
Necrosphinx/Khemrian Warsphinx
This terrifying monstrosity can be a real heavy hitter for your army, as well as providing an extra Tomb King – or riding on top of it!
Settra the Imperishable
The mortal king achieved eternal life – just not how he and his Mortuary Cults imagined. Nevertheless, the metal Settra kit returns to The Old World!
Liche Priest
Healing and reviving the forces of the Tomb Kings, Liche Priests and their spells of unlife are an incredibly useful piece on the battlefield.
Ushabti with Ritual Blades/Greatbows
Wielding great weapons of destruction, Ushabti are the elite warriors of the Tomb Kings, who can either be a ranged or a melee force of nature.
Tomb King
Even though the Necrosphinx comes with a Tomb King, a separate kit will be available to pre-order next week in Forge World resin instead of plastic!
Battle Standard Bearer
The Herald protects it’s monarch as well as inspire the undead forces of the Tomb Kings – now in Forge World resin.
Tomb Swarms
A new kit for the Tomb Kings of Khemri, these Swarms are a sight to behold, and a deadly surprise to all who dare disturb the Tombs.
Tomb Kings of Khemri Reference Deck and Dice
Pair your new or risen Tomb Kings army with the new Reference Deck and Dice Set!
Warhammer: The Old World Dice Set, Lore of Magic and Common Magic Items Decks and Card Sleeves
While the reveals and announcements regarding Warhammer: The Old World has been all about the two starting factions, all the Warhammer Fantasy Battle armies can be played – with new rules, so these decks come in handy for any new and returning player!
Bases and Modular Movement Trays
You need to field and move your armies around somehow, right? Modular trays are one of the greatest part of WHFB and now, they return to The Old World as well!
Warhammer: The Old World: The Map of the Old World
This 1 meter x 89 centimeters map is great to plan your next narrative campaing and immerse yourself in The Old World!
Black Library: Lords of the Lance Special Edition
The first novel set in The Old World since 2016, Lords of the Lance also become available next week!
Black Library: The End Times – Fall of Empires
Even though we finally averted the effects of The End Times, it’s always good to know where we’re headed – read Fall of Empires if you’re curious of your fate!
Warhammer The Old World will arrive in January, putting and end to a 4-year waiting period. Don’t forget to order yours on January 6th – and Happy New Year!
