With the impending release of the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, it has become necessary to retire certain miniatures from the range. While every Citadel miniature holds a unique place in the evolving narrative of Warhammer, the production and support of older models must cease to make room for new releases. However, Games Workshop acknowledges the sentimental value of these miniatures to players and encourages their continued use in casual play.
Here are the factions and specific units affected by this retirement:
Stormcast Eternals:
- The entire Sacrosanct Chamber
- Older Liberators, Judicators, Paladins, Prosecutors, and certain named characters
Skaven:
- Several old miniatures, many of which will be replaced with new releases over time
Bonesplitterz:
- The Bonesplitterz subfaction
Slaves to Darkness:
- Various warbands representing worshippers of Chaos from the Mortal Realms, mainly from the previous edition of Warcry and including Khagra’s Ravagers from Warhammer Underworlds
Beasts of Chaos:
- The entire faction, with plans to return to Warhammer: The Old World
It’s important to note that while these miniatures will no longer be supported for competitive play after summer 2025, free-to-download digital battletomes will be available for Beasts of Chaos and Bonesplitterz, featuring new background and rules. Additionally, some units from other factions, mostly those using older resin miniatures, will also be retired and moved over to Warhammer Legends.
Games Workshop reassures players that the retirement of these miniatures is part of the natural cycle of updates and expansions in Warhammer, and that the rich stories and adventures crafted with these miniatures will continue in the hearts and minds of players.
