Next week’s preorder releases unleash Bretonnian troops, orcs and goblins, and of course, those dastardly Darkoaths.

The Old World gets rowdy in next week’s preorders as the Bretonnians, and Orcs and Goblins get a major release this week. Meanwhile, the Mortal Realms see a rising tide of Darkness with the Slaves to Darkness release.

It’s a veritable extravaganza of swords and shields and spears and other bits, all of which can be yours (along with their accompanying miniatures) in this week’s preorders.

The Old World: Bretonnians, Orcs & Goblins, and Tomb Kings of Khemri

Kicking things off, we have another wave the Old World’s Bretonnians, as their men-at-arms and more come to join the fray. Starting with Lady Élisse Duchaard, Prophetess of the court of Brionne, who rides majestically into battle atop her unicorn steed Ariandir. She is a powerhouse of a wizard, whose unicorn packs a punch.

If you prefer your hero to fly, consider the newly individually available Lord on Royal Pegasus.

How about expanding your forces with the infamous Men at Arms. These soldiers come in a box of 36 miniatures with options for polearms or hand weapons alongside their trusty shields.

Or get 36 Peasant Bowmen with wooden stakes to help protect them from charges and the like.

Of course there’s the power of the Waaagh!!! in full display with Orc Tribes and Goblin Tribes getting some major releases, starting with the Orc Shamans, featuring one on foot and another on a plastic Orc Boar.

Get mobs of Boyz, whether in 40 man box or as a 20 strong set of Black Orcs.

Both offer up a great amount of variety in terms of hand weapons and shields, for all your Waaagh!!! needs.

Orcs ride boars, and they also use them to carry their Chariots.

Both of which can be yours next weekend.

Goblins, meanwhile, have plenty going for them as well. Starting with a Goblin Shaman, who can be level 1 or 3.

Get yourself a Goblin Mob, in a set of 40 multi-part plastic miniatures and can be split into two units of 20 – each with a champion, banner bearer, and musician.

Or unleash the Night Goblins and their wolf-riding counterparts in a box of 40 or 15.

But, the Tomb Kings of Khemri also stir this week.

For starters, the Casket of Souls, newly remade in Forge World resin with mire detail than ever.

Or get a Necrolith Colossus, also reforged on resin.

Slaves to Darkness

Meanwhile, in the Mortal Realms, there’s a new Slaves to Darkness boxed set:

The Army Set comes with 20 Darkoath Marauders with a wide assortment of heads and body types, five Darkoath Fellriders, one Chieftain on Warsteed, and one ferocious Wilderfiend twisted by the powers of their malevolent patrons. The box also includes a full set of warscroll cards and tokens, plus Battletome Supplement: Darkoath – an expansion for Battletome: Slaves to Darkness that includes all the lore and pitched battle profiles you need to field this force in battle.

All this, next week!
