Games Workshop's Shiny New Toys and Nostalgic Old Favourites

Games Workshop have blessed us with a bevy of new pre-orders.

Revealed today on the Warhammer website, this new tranche of tantalising treats includes offerings from various Games Workshop ranges, including Age of Sigmar, Necromunda and Warhammer 40,000.

Kicking off with Sigmarland, the Helsmiths of Hashut are an ‘entirely new faction of spiteful duardin’. With their combination of massive hats and ‘distinctive daemon-powered weapons’, these neo-dwarves are here to kick shins and take names. Their new Helsmiths of Hashut Army Set includes a War Despot, an Infernal Cohort with Hashutite Spears, a Dominator Engine and a Tormentor Bombard. It can serve as either the core of bigger army or played as a Helforge Host in games of Spearhead.

A display of the Helsmiths of Hashut Army Set from Warhammer: Age of Sigmar features a variety of miniatures and components. In the foreground, several duardin figures are arranged, including a large War Despot and smaller units wielding spears and banners. Behind them, the set includes a Dominator Engine and a Tormentor Bombard, along with a transfer sheet for customization, all set against the backdrop of the army set box art.

The Deathrattle Tomb Host, meanwhile, is composed of two units of 10 Deathrattle Skeletons, 10 Barrow Guard, and five Barrow Knights, all led by a powerful Wight King. Although this Spearhead has a higher model count than ‘almost every other Spearhead around’, nearly all the combatants therein can be reanimated and returned to combat, thus making them a very difficult force to overcome.

A diverse array of miniatures showcases a new faction from Age of Sigmar, featuring the Helsmiths of Hashut, alongside the Deathrattle Tomb Host and Snarlpack Huntaz. The image displays numerous figures, including skeletal warriors, mounted knights, and various characters, all intricately detailed and posed on round bases. The color palette includes muted tones with metallic accents, emphasizing the grimdark aesthetic typical of the Warhammer universe.

The duardin and skeletons are not the only new Sigmar army set to look forward to. Riding into combat on their wargs, the Snarlpack Huntaz are ‘an extremely mobile force’ of three Snarlpack Cavalry and two Sunsteala Wheelas; these are led by a Snarlboss and his Wolfgit Retinue.

A dynamic display of miniatures features the Snarlpack Huntaz, a mobile force from Age of Sigmar, showcasing various models riding wargs. The set includes three Snarlpack Cavalry, two Sunsteala Wheelas, and a Snarlboss with his Wolfgit Retinue, all adorned with intricate armor and vibrant red and black details. The models are positioned on a textured base that suggests a rugged terrain, enhancing the overall action-packed aesthetic.

Meanwhile, on Necromunda, it’s time for a little law and order. The Palanite Enforcer Captains & Sergeants set includes two Captains, two Sergeants, two Subjugator Sergeants, and two Hardcase Cyber-mastiffs. Should you ever get around to painting these grimdark gendarmes, you can also buy a sheet of 220 transfers.

A collection of eight miniatures from the Palanite Enforcer Captains & Sergeants set is displayed, featuring a mix of armed enforcers in dark uniforms with yellow accents. The figures include two cyber-mastiffs, one with a mechanical appearance, and various enforcers wielding weapons such as pistols, rifles, and swords. The miniatures are mounted on circular bases, showcasing their detailed designs and dynamic poses.

The squad can be further enhanced with additional sets of Palanite Enforcer Haunts and Palanite Companions.

Three detailed miniatures from the Palanite Enforcer Captains & Sergeants set are displayed. The two figures on the left are heavily armored, wearing long coats with fur collars, and feature distinctive helmets with yellow visors and red mohawks. They are equipped with various weapons, including a large firearm, while the figure on the right appears to be a smaller character, possibly a cyber-mastiff, with a more intricate design. The bases of the miniatures are textured, enhancing their dynamic presentation.

If, like me, you’re all about the nostalgia, you’re bound to be tempted by this trio of old school Space Wolves.

Three Space Wolves miniatures are displayed, showcasing their distinctive blue armor and intricate details. On the left, a Space Marine in a power armor suit features a large shoulder pad and a bolter. In the center, a character with a fur-lined cloak wields a power axe, while on the right, another Space Marine holds a hammer and has a mechanical arm. Each figure stands on a textured base, highlighting their unique poses and weaponry.
