Games Workshop Pre-Orders: Thousand Sons & Wood Elf Weekend
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 hold 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!
