The Solar Auxilia and the Old World are getting a ton of new releases this weekend from Games Workshop!

Note: Games Workshop has additional online only miniatures available. We’re only covering non-exclusives with this round-up. You can view the full list of online only miniatures on Warhammer.com

via Warhammer.com

SOLAR AUXILIA BATTLE GROUP $210

The Solar Auxilia are the most elite division of the Imperial Army, mortal soldiers trained to fight in alien atmospheres, toxic death zones, and even the cold vacuum of space – the most hazardous battlefields of the Great Crusade. Equipped with sophisticated wargear and sealed environmental armour, the Auxilia are recruited from across the Imperium’s many conquests, chosen for a mix of skill, discipline, and raw aggression. As the Age of Darkness sweeps across the stars, the countless cohorts of the Solar Auxilia must each declare their allegiance – honour their Warmaster, or stand with their Emperor?

This battlegroup makes a fantastic foundation for a new Solar Auxilia army, or a great way to reinforce your collection with new plastic miniatures. The infantry core of this battle group is 20 Solar Auxilia troopers armed with lasrifles and bayonets, led by a prestigious Auxilia Captain and his Tactical Command Section of four Companions. They’re carried to battle in a massive Dracosan Armoured Transport, and supported with firepower from an Aethon Heavy Sentinel and an environmentally-sealed Leman Russ Strike Tank.

These new kits offer loads of wargear and cosmetic options, allowing you to customise your troops and tanks as you desire. They also come with new Solar Auxilia transfer sheets, providing you with plenty of optional squad markings and iconography.

This set includes the following:
– 20x Solar Auxilia Rifle Section miniatures
– 5x Solar Auxilia Tactical Command Section miniatures
– 1x Aethon Heavy Sentinel
– 1x Dracosan Armoured Transport
– 1x Leman Russ Battle Tank
– 2x Solar Auxilia Infantry Transfer Sheets
– 2x Solar Auxilia Vehicle Transfer Sheets

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

This incredible box is strictly limited in quantity, meaning once it’s gone, it’s gone – secure yours before it’s too late! The individual miniatures in this set will be available separately at a later date.

SOLAR AUXILLIA DICE SET $40

The Solar Auxilia are the most elite division of the Imperial Army, trained and equipped to fight in the most hazardous environments. Their cohorts are recruited from all over the Imperium, drawing on void-born asteroid clans, ambitious noble scions, and underhive scum alike. Whatever their origins, those who display the right combination of aggression, discipline, and skill-at-arms can win glory and greatness by leading the advance of the Imperium’s tercios.

This set of Solar Auxilia-themed dice is perfect for accompanying your army of elite and disciplined soldiers, and rolling your way to victory in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.

Contents:
20x grey pearlescent swirl dice with black ink, measuring 16mm along each edge, including:
– 19x D6 with a Solar Auxillia icon on the ‘6’ face

SKELETON CHARIOTS $80

Skeleton Chariots are the pride of the Tomb Kings, gilded and lethal machines crewed even in death by Nehekhara’s finest warriors. Often fielded en masse, their rattling advance is heralded by clouds of dust, thrown high into the air as they thunder across the sands. Crashing into the enemy with bone-shattering force, these vehicles crush living bodies beneath their heavy wheels as their undead crew lay about the disorientated foe.

This multipart plastic kit builds three Skeleton Chariots, swift linebreakers animated by the Tomb Kings of Khemri. Each of these clattering vehicles is drawn by two undead steeds and crewed by a pair of skeletal warriors, armed with cavalry spears, blades, bows, and whips to smash through ranks of infantry. The kit also provides optional command upgrades, allowing you to build each Skeleton Chariot’s crew with a hornblowing musician, a standard bearer with a choice of icon tops, or a Master Charioteer.

The kit includes a variety of chariot emblems, weapon designs, skeletal heads, quivers, and arm poses, all of which are interchangeable – meaning you can give your undead legion a varied look, no matter how large it grows.

This kit contains 126 plastic components, and 3x Citadel 50x100mm Rectangular Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

TOMB KINGS SKELETON HORSEMEN/HORSE ARCHERS $60

Skeleton Horsemen and Horse Archers are the tireless, clattering cavalry of Nehekhara’s eternal legions, raised in terrifying numbers from the tomb pits of lost ages. Their deathless steeds gallop around the enemy flanks without need for rest, as the skeletal riders lower heavy spears or loose volleys of hissing arrows in perfect unison. It is a brave foe indeed that does not crumble under the advance of these unflinching warriors.

This multipart plastic kit builds 16 Skeleton Horsemen, raised to serve the Tomb Kings of Khemri. Each of these undead outriders is mounted atop a skeletal steed, and carries a tall Nehekharan shield alongside a cavalry spear or a one-handed weapon – alternatively, they can be built as Skeleton Horse Archers armed with warbows. The kit provides two command sections, each comprising a musician, a Master of Horse, and a standard bearer with a choice of icon tops, allowing you to field your Skeleton Horsemen or Horse Archers as one large regiment or two smaller units.

This kit includes a variety of different weapon and shield designs, skeletal heads, quivers, and arm poses, all of which are interchangeable – so you can ensure your lifeless cavalry still have a lively look to them.

This kit contains 160 plastic components, and 16x Citadel 25x50mm Rectangular Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

TOMB KINGS SKELETON WARRIORS/ARCHERS $80

Skeleton Warriors and Archers make up the bulk of the mighty undead armies commanded by the Tomb Kings of Khemri. Rank after rank, regiment after regiment, these unflinching horrors are called forth from sand-swallowed burial sites by the incantations of the Liche Priests. Armed as they were in life, they march forth to fulfil ancient oaths of loyalty and heed the will of their monarch once more.

This multipart plastic kit builds 36 Skeleton Warriors, raised to serve the Tomb Kings of Khemri. Each of these undead footsoldiers carries a tall Nehekharan shield alongside a thrusting spear or a one-handed weapon – alternatively, they can be built as Skeleton Archers armed with warbows and quivers of arrows. This kit also provides all the command upgrades you’ll need, whether you choose to field your Skeleton Warriors in small groups or as one great mass – you can build musicians, champions, and standard bearers with a choice of icon tops.

The kit includes a variety of different weapon and shield designs, skeletal heads, quivers, and arm poses, all of which are interchangeable – meaning you can give your undead legion a varied look, no matter how large it grows.

This kit contains 465 plastic components, and 36x Citadel 25mm Square Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

TOMB KING/LICHE PRIEST ON NECROLITH BONE DRAGON $100

Tomb Kings are the ancient, long-dead rulers of Nehekhara, reborn through the archaic rituals of their Liche Priests. Only the most prestigious rulers can harness the undying will of a fearsome Necrolith Bone Dragon, much less ride such a behemoth into battle. These reanimated wyrms descend upon the living, given unnatural flight by skeletal wings, before lashing out with wicked claws and jagged fangs. Those who survive must contend with clouds of seething dust and desiccating smog, for a dragon’s breath is lethal even in death.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Tomb King or Liche Priest mounted on a Necrolith Bone Dragon. This terrifying centrepiece is the jewel of any Tomb Kings of Khemri army, dominating both battlefields and display cabinets. The Tomb King stands atop a grand, chariot-like platform on the Bone Dragon’s back, and can be armed with a one-handed khopesh, an imposing great weapon, or a pronged cavalry spear. The Liche Priest instead sits on an ornate throne decorated with Mortuary Cult iconography, brandishing a ritual staff as they conjure a spectral vulture.

If this kit is used to build a Liche Priest on Necrolith Bone Dragon, the Tomb King model can instead be assembled separately on foot, armed with a flail and using the additional base provided. The kit includes a shield arm and alternative cloak for building the monarch in this way.

This kit contains 96 plastic components, 1x Citadel 100x150mm Rectangular Base, and 1x Citadel 25mm Square Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

KNIGHTS OF THE REALM/KNIGHTS ERRANT $60

Knights of the Realm make up the bulk of Bretonnia’s nobility and its armed might, and command great respect for both their high station and the deeds they performed to attain it. Knights Errant, however, are the youthful sons and daughters of Bretonnian nobles, bold young warriors who seek any opportunity to earn their spurs under the chivalric code. Heavily armoured, mounted on fine warhorses, and assembled into an unstoppable lance formation, a charge of Bretonnian Knights has the power to shatter enemy hordes like kindling under a woodsman’s axe.

This multipart plastic kit builds 12 mounted Knights of the Realm or Knights Errant, bold heavy cavalry from the Kingdom of Bretonnia. Each Knight is a noble warrior, carrying a lance with a sheathed sword at their belt. They’re protected in battle by heavy armour and shields, and their warhorses are similarly clad in flowing barding. This kit provides all the command upgrades you’ll need – musicians, standard bearers, and champions – whether you choose to field your Knights as a lance of 12 models or two units of six.

You’ll find a variety of helmeted heads, which are topped by heraldic devices befitting Knights of the Realm, such as dragons, unicorns, and antlers, or decorated by streaming ribbons and other tokens of favour for Knights Errant. The kit also offers bare heads, lance poses, knightly adornments, and horse heads, to really personalise your Bretonnian Knights. Note that the horse heads provided in this kit are a random selection, and may differ from those pictured.

This kit contains 180 plastic components, 12x Citadel 30x60mm Rectangular Bases, and a Bretonnian Transfer Sheet containing 176 high-quality waterslide transfers.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

KNIGHTS OF THE REALM ON FOOT $80

Knights on Foot consist of minor nobles belonging to the extended family of a baron or duke. These warriors proudly display the colours and motifs of their lord’s heraldry, often further embellished with personal devices, identifying them as belonging to a single, extended family whilst declaring their individualism and their own stature as nobles.

This multipart plastic kit builds 20 elite Knights of the Realm on Foot for your Kingdom of Bretonnia armies. Wearing plate armour, these elite warriors hack down all who would stand against them. Each knight proudly displays their own heraldry atop their helms, marking them out as the individual champions they are whilst still maintaining their coherency in this terrifying heavy infantry unit.

You’ll find the components to build two full command upgrades, including First Knights (unit champions), standard bearers, and musicians – this allows you to build them as one large unit of 20 knights, or two smaller units of 10. Each warrior can be armed with a great weapon or hand weapon and shield, and there is a choice of heads, allowing you to personalise each of your units.

This kit contains 260 plastic components, and comes with 20x Citadel 25mm Square Bases. Also included is a Bretonnia Transfer Sheet, featuring 176 transfers with which to personalise your knights.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
