The Thousand Sons are here for your chaos cult troop good times while the Wood Elves are here to protect The Old World!
This weekend marks the re-launch of two armies. The first is the Thousand Sons for Warhammer 40,000. The second is the Wood Elves for The Old World. The Thousand Sons have a pair of good looking boxed sets to snag. The Combat Patrol is solid while the Battleforce box is not only limited but also the first place to get ahold of the new Sekhetar Robots.
As for the Wood Elves, most of their stuff is online only. Your best bet is to go check out their full range directly from GW. That said, below will be the non-online only options for the Wood Elves. With that covered, let’s check out these Games Workshop Pre-orders!
The Thousand Sons attack amidst an inferno of warp magic and mutation – each of this Traitor Legion’s psychic warriors wields sorcery of incredible power. These puppet masters command what remains of the Legion’s battle‑brothers, the deathless Rubricae, whose spirits remain trapped in their sigil‑carved armour. Heirs to the rampant ambition and arrogance of their gene-sire, the Daemon Primarch Magnus the Red, the Thousand Sons seek forbidden knowledge and arcane relics.

Combat Patrol: Thousand Sons $170
The Daemon Prince Zadophon is a potent sorcerer and a monstrous warrior, terrifying to behold. His presence bends the weave of fate into forms more fortuitous for Tzeentch’s designs, and his empyric rituals are made all the more potent should he consume a sliver of soulstuff from a fallen underling. He is accompanied by Kaa’skrek, a Tzaangor Shaman who unleashes ferocious psychic bombardments against the foe as they soar high upon their daemonic Disc. Three Tzaangor Enlightened protect their leader, while a unit of Rubric Marines march forward to claim territory by laying down a punishing hail of Inferno bolts and sorcerous warpfire.
This box contains 15 plastic miniatures that represent a complete Prism of Zadophon force for use in Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000. It’s an ideal way to start a Thousand Sons army, or easily add to an existing collection, and save money compared to buying the contents separately.
The Daemon Prince can be built in a wide variety of ways to suit your Chaos God and preferred style. It can be armed with an infernal cannon and a hellforged sword or daemonic axe, or with a pair of malefic talons.
The Tzaangor Enlightened can alternatively be built as Tzaangor Enlightened with Fatecaster Greatbows – prophetic mutant warrior archers.
The Rubric Marines can be armed with either inferno boltguns or warpflamers. One can be built with a deadly soulreaper cannon, and another can carry an icon of flame. The Aspiring Sorcerer who leads them can be armed with either an inferno bolt pistol or a warpflame pistol.
This set includes the following multipart plastic miniatures:
– 1x Daemon Prince
– 1x Tzaangor Shaman
– 3x Tzaangor Enlightened (which can alternatively be built as Tzaangor Enlightened with Fatecaster Greatbows)
– 10x Rubric Marines
This kit comprises 358 plastic components, 1x Citadel 60mm Round Bases, 4x Citadel 40mm Round Base, 10x Citadel 32mm Round Bases, and 1x Chaos Space Marines transfer sheet containing 364 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures.
These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Thousand Sons Battleforce: Warpflame Thrallband $215
The Sorcerers of the Thousand Sons command their troops with the skill of a puppet master, moving them across the battlefield like so many pieces on a board only they can see. Rubricae, both clad in ornate power armour and heavy Terminator battle plate, march in lockstep alongside towering Sekhetar robots, infernal constructs wreathed in potent spells.
This stuffed box contains a Thousand Sons force for use in games of Warhammer 40,000. Led by three Exalted Sorcerers and supported by Sekhetar Robots and Scarab Occult Terminators, they perform well in the hands of a savvy general. A unit of Rubric Marines round out the ensemble, offering objective-grabbing potential and adding to the firepower of the force with heavy and special weapons.
The Sekhetar Robots are armed with heavy warpflamers, hellfyre missile racks, and pyreflux meltaguns. The pyreflux meltagun can alternatively be traded out for a warpflame projector and a cruel power claw.
The Rubric Marines can be armed with either inferno boltguns or warpflamers. One can be built with a deadly soulreaper cannon, and another can carry an icon of flame. The Aspiring Sorcerer who leads them can be armed with either an inferno bolt pistol or a warpflame pistol to match the rest of the unit.
The Scarab Occult Terminators are each armed with an inferno combi-bolter and a Prosperine khopesh. One miniature can be given a heavy warpflamer, soulreaper cannon, or hellfyre missile rack. The staff-wielding Scarab Occult Sorcerer can be armed with either an inferno combi-bolter or a Prosperine khopesh.
No matter how you choose to build them, this box makes for a fantastic way to start a new Thousand Sons army, or expand your collection with a flexible set of fantastic miniatures – and save money over buying each kit separately. This box is also the first place to get your hands on the Sekhetar Robots miniatures.
This set includes the following multipart plastic miniatures:
– 3x Exalted Sorcerers (which can alternatively be built as Sorcerers)
– 4x Sekhetar Robots
– 5x Scarab Occult Terminators
– 10x Rubric Marines

Arcane Journal: Wood Elf Realms $28
The Wood Elves made the great forest of Athel Loren their home in the ancient days, and have defended it from Orcs, Beastmen, Dwarfs, and anyone else who would violate their sacred groves. Rejecting heavy armour, they are light on their feet, moving through the forest with ease and grace to ambush their clumsy foes.
This essential guide delves into the mysterious background and lore of the Wood Elf Realms, and gives you additional rules to use in your games of Warhammer: The Old World. Combined with Warhammer: The Old World – Forces of Fantasy, you’ll have plenty of options and more in-depth rules to get the most out of your Asrai warriors and mystical woodland spirits on the tabletop.
Within this 48-page supplement, you will find:
– Background and lore: The history of the Wood Elves is tied to Athel Loren, their arboreal home – you’ll learn all about where they came from, who they fought and when, and the rise of Orion and his Wild Hunt.
– Monarchs of the Wood: Rules to field two unique Armies of Infamy – Orion’s Wild Hunt and the Host of Talsyn.
– Special Character & Unit Profiles: Background and rules for units and characters including Orion, the King in the Woods and Araloth, the Lord of Talsyn.
– Wood Elf Realms Magic Items: Provides the rules for Magic Weapons, Magic Armour, Talismans, Magic Standards, Enchanted Items, and Arcane Items.
This is an expansion to Warhammer: The Old World – you’ll need copies of the Warhammer: The Old World Rulebook and Warhammer: The Old World – Forces of Fantasy, both available separately, to use the contents of this supplement.
The Glade Riders are perhaps the greatest light cavalry of the Old World – their Elven reflexes allow them to perform an incredible variety of seemingly reckless acts that are far beyond the abilities of younger races. They routinely survive their escapades unscathed through a formidable combination of graceful skill and unflappable confidence.
This multipart plastic kit builds 12 Glade Riders, light cavalry for your Wood Elf Realms armies in games of Warhammer: The Old World. These flexible warriors are a deadly threat at range with their longbows, but won’t hesitate to run down weak or unprepared foes at with their cavalry spears.
They can be assembled as one large unit, or two units of six warriors, each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. The heads, legs, torsos, capes, and weapons are interchangeable across the miniatures, making it easy to customise your cavalry. Each Glade Rider can be assembled wielding either a bow or spear and decorative spirits are included in the kit to personalise your bases.
This kit comprises 189 plastic components, and 12x Citadel 30mm by 60mm Rectangular Slotta Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
The Eternal Guard are responsible for the defence of the forest of Athel Loren during the long winter months. Only skill on the field of battle can earn an honoured place within their ranks, for their duty is a difficult and dangerous one.
This multipart plastic kit builds 20 Eternal Guard, spear-wielding infantry for your Wood Elf Realms armies in games of Warhammer: The Old World. They are an incredible defensive unit, able to stand strong and use their long Asrai spears to full effect. They can alternatively be built as Wildwood Rangers, fearless warriors adept at taking on monstrous foes with their heavy two-handed glaives.
For either option, they can be assembled as one large unit, or two units of 10 warriors, each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. The heads and weapons are interchangeable across the miniatures, making it easy to customise your units, and the Eternal Guard can each take an optional shield.
This kit comprises 204 plastic components, 20x Citadel 25mm Square Bases, and 1x Wood Elf Realms transfer sheet containing 186 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures.
These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
These miniatures are also available in the Wood Elf Realms Battalion boxed set.
Glade Guard form the core of Wood Elf armies, for all are trained in the arts of the longbow as soon as they can hold one. In Athel Loren, archery is not just a tool of battle, but one of many hunter’s skills vital for survival.
This multipart plastic kit builds 32 Glade Guard, deadly archers for your Wood Elf Realms armies in games of Warhammer: The Old World. Wielding rank upon rank of versatile Asrai longbows, they can rain down destruction on your enemies from afar. These miniatures can also be used to represent Deepwood Scouts, skirmishers that can perform hit-and-run attacks.
For either option, they can be assembled as one large unit, or two units of 16 archers, each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. The champion can be built holding an Asrai longbow or a sword, there is a choice of two banner toppers for the standard bearer, and the heads, legs, torsos, capes, and weapons are interchangeable across the miniatures, making it easy to customise your units.
This kit comprises 400 plastic components, and 32x Citadel 25mm Square Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
These miniatures are also available in the Wood Elf Realms Battalion boxed set.
Wood Elf Realms Battalion $185
The armies of the Wood Elf Realms rise up naturally in times of strife. Wide-ranging troops converge on the source of the conflict as the common folk take up their longbows and spears to march under the banner of their Glade Lords. Even the lowliest warriors are possessed of grace and skill, making them a deadly foe to face.
This boxed set builds a solid core of a Wood Elf Realms army for use in games of Warhammer: The Old World. Wild Riders and Sisters of the Thorn – elite cavalry – lead the charge, while specialist Wildwood Rangers and spear-wielding Eternal Guard act as shock troops. A sizable unit of Glade Guard wielding Asrai longbows supports the rest of the army.
The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Wild Riders, or Sisters of the Thorn, can be assembled as one large unit or two units of five warriors – each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. The kit includes cosmetic accessories, and the Wild Riders can each take an optional shield.
The Wildwood Rangers, or Eternal Guard, can be assembled as one large unit or two units of 10 warriors – each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. The heads and weapons are interchangeable across the miniatures, and the Eternal Guard can each take an optional shield.
