Saturday Pre-orders: 4/4 a 11/4 Daughters of Khaine, Sylvaneth a Horus Heresy

Pre-Orders: Daughters of Khaine, Sylvaneth and Horus Heresy News

A new wave of Age of Sigmar, Black Library paperbacks, Custodes reinforcements for Horus Heresy and practical hobby accessories from Citadel – here you’ll quickly find out what’s new, who it’s for, and what makes sense for you.

What’s new this time and why it’s worth your attention

This wave of new releases is very strong mainly in three areas: Daughters of Khaine, Sylvaneth and The Horus Heresy. On top of that, smaller but very practical Citadel hobby accessories have also arrived.

If you play or collect Age of Sigmar, the biggest attention goes to new battletomes, Spearhead boxes, battleforce sets and standout models like Blood Hags, Shrine of Dark Tribute or Grove Guardian. This is exactly the type of wave that can kick off a brand-new army from scratch or nicely strengthen an already ongoing project.

If you’re more into Horus Heresy, the highlight of the week is without a doubt the Legio Custodes Battle Group, the new Liber Custodes and the massive Glaive Super-heavy Special Weapons Tank. It’s a very attractive mix for players who want an elite army, heavy machinery and a strong imperial feel.

And if you just want to treat yourself to something smaller or practical, items like the Citadel Colour Painting Handle, Warhammer Colour Tool Set, Warhammer Dice and Warhammer Water Pot have also arrived.

Release / new wave: March 28, 2026 and March 21, 2026

PW TIP: If you're not sure what to get, stick to a simple rule:
• want to start a new AoS army → go for Battleforce + Battletome
• want to play a smaller format → take Spearhead
• want elite units for Horus Heresy → go for Legio Custodes Battle Group
• want something smaller and practicalPainting Handle or Tool Set are ideal
New products are out – and this wave is exactly the kind where both an Age of Sigmar player, a Horus Heresy fan and someone who just wants to upgrade their hobby gear will find something.
