A new edition is coming to Necromunda, a new set of models for Ogors, and the first-ever Aeldari Exodites are coming soon!
Return to the Underhive
Necromunda is getting a whole new edition and kicking it off with a brand new core box set. The Escher Blades of the Matriarch face off against the Goliath Forge Smelters, each gang made up of eight brand new miniatures! The box includes two sample rosters balanced against each other, but you could readily add them to your existing Escher or Goliath collections. The box also includes a double-sided playmat, dice, range ruler, templates, condition and status markers, and gang tactics and campaign cards.
Of course, a new edition means a new core rulebook. This book will be included in the new core set but also for separate sale as an stand-alone product.
New scatter terrain accompanies the core set, but even more is coming independently along with the card decks included in the box.
Hide behind an overseer pulpit, rush between a hyrillic crank and a promethium generator, or run across an auto-siphoning valve.
All the gangs of Necromunda will also be receiving refreshed rules with the new edition. A pair of GAngs’ books will update lore, gang rosters, fighter and equipment profiles, as well as rules for Hired Guns, Brutes, Hangers-on, and Pets.
Naturally, we’re also going to see a new set of box sets for every gang coming with the new edition. These kits will now include weapon and upgrade frames so you can kit out your gangers in all the specific detail you desire!
Ogor Mawtribes
Meanwhile, in the Mortal Realms, the Ogor Mawtribes return from the wastes and are hungrier than ever. This is an incredible refresh for the already very cool Ogor line. The box set includes the new Tyrant, Gluttons, Ironguts, and Maulbeast Cavalry, and it also includes a set of warscroll cards and a special edition of the battletome.
Ogors are also receiving this absolutely stunning new character and centerpiece model, Redd the Maw – High Slaughtermaster.
This brutal wizard claims to have seen the Gulping God, a fact that inspires those around him. Accompanied by a pair of Mawseeker acolytes and a Gorger to pull his strangely etched cauldron, Redd can smash his way through enemy lines while also flinging spells from the Lore of Gut Magic.
He’s accompanied by even more all-new Ogor units, including the fearsome Butchers, Cleavers, and Gutseers.
A Butcher is a shaman of the Maw Tribes. They channel the gastromantic magic of their god, always searching for meat to add to their divinatory supper pots. They bring a lot of snacks for the gang, too.
Cleavers are the new elite infantry of the Ogor tribes. They are brutal fighters powered by a hunger for the arcane. They excel at chopping up wizards, priests, and other spellcasters. This unit can also be built as Gutseers, warrior-wizards powered by their aether-disrupting belches. Charming!
And of course, Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes will enjoy its separate release from the box set. Full of the usual inspirational lore, photography, and rules it also contains rules for lots of new units, including a whole new subset of the Ogor Mawtribes race, known as Mawseekers, who are led by Redd the Maw.
Kill Team: Exodite
Arguably, Games Workshop saved the best for last with the introduction of the new Aeldari Exodites for Kill Team! Holy crap! I’ve wanted exodite models since I was a kid back in the 90s, and I cannot express how excited I am for this kit.
The new boxed set features a full kill team of three Aeldari Dragon Masters and two Drakolithes, as well as a host of invading Beast Snagga Boyz and Squighog Boyz NPOs for them to battle.

A trio of dinosaur riding Aeldari ride out to protect their Maidenworld from an Orkish invasion and man-oh-man, do they look the part. Truly stunning figures, they can also be built as Dragon Knights which will have rules for play in Warhammer 40k, coming soon.
Kill Team: Exodite will be packed with everything you need to play out this conflict. A hardback dossier is full of lore about the Exodites, their culture, beasts, and weaponry. It also contains a guide for building and painting terrain to model your own Maiden World.
As well, it includes 20 new Joint Ops missions forming a campaign that pits the Dragon Masters of the exodites against the Beast Snagga NPOs.
