If you’ve been dreaming about marching the Empire’s finest across the battlefields of Warhammer: The Old World, or diving into the gritty underhive with brand-new Squat tech, we’ve got big news. A swath of classic Empire miniatures is coming back via Made to Order, plus a whole new expansion for the Ironhead Squats over in Necromunda. So grab your halberds (or bolt pistols)—there’s a lot to unpack here!
Empire of Man: The Old World Rises Again
Arcane Journal: Empire of Man
First on the docket is the 48-page Arcane Journal: Empire of Man, a lore and rules supplement that’ll help you get the most from your Imperial forces. Inside are:
- Named Characters: Like the legendary Harald Gemunsen, Grand Master of the Knights Panther, and the formidable General Hans von Löwenhacke.
- Armies of Infamy: Two specialized armies—the Knightly Orders and the City-State of Nuln—each packing unique rules and ways to field your regiments.
- Arcane Goodies: New magical items, fresh scenarios, plus updated background lore that slots perfectly into the Old World’s rich tapestry.
If you’re all about Empire pride, this is your go-to for building armies bristling with pomp, ceremony, and black-powder fury. Available in both softback and epub formats, so you can read your field notes on the go or at your hobby desk.
Empire of Man Battalion
Need troops? The Empire of Man Battalion box is loaded with:
- 30 State Troops
- 30 State Missile Troops
- 1 Steam Tank
It also comes with two new Empire of Man infantry transfer sheets (290 decals each) so your units can rep the city-states you love—or hate. Between a sea of puffed sleeves and the rumbling might of a Steam Tank, you’ll be more than ready to crush neighboring duchies or stave off orc invasions.
Reference Cards, Dice, and Transfer Sheets
To keep track of your spells, Steam Tank antics, and more, pick up the Empire of Man Reference Card Pack (36 cards), plus the new Empire of Man dice set. The dice have that swirling red-and-gold aesthetic sure to impress on the tabletop. And if you need even more iconography, the new Empire of Man Transfer Sheet has you covered, featuring province emblems, knightly order insignias, and even tiny prayers for that extra immersive flourish.
Plastic Kits and Centerpiece Models
- General of the Empire on Imperial Griffon
- A majestic beast from the World’s Edge Mountains, the Griffon can also be built as a Wizard Lord on a double-headed Imperial Griffon. Talk about making a statement on the battlefield!
- War Altar of Sigmar
- Pulled by barded horses, this is your ticket to inspiring the faithful while humiliating the heretics. Perfect for those who want a massive, holy presence commanding the field.
- Commanders of the Empire
- Build two heroes (one mounted, one on foot) with a bunch of customization options. Turn them into Generals, Champions, or Standard-bearers—whatever fits your strategy.
- Free Company Militia, Empire Pistoliers, Empire Knights, Empire Demigryph Knights
- Bulk out your ranks with classic plastic kits, from rowdy foot soldiers to cavalry of all stripes. Want outriders or heavy-hitting Demigryph Knights? You’ve got it.
- Cannons & Mortars
- Bring the thunder and let the artillery do the talking. This kit includes crew to man both Great Cannons and Mortars, perfect for blowing up monstrous foes or sieging enemy fortifications.
Metal Miniatures: Characters & Infantry
- Teutogen Guard Warriors and Command
- Bodyguards of Ar-Ulric and chosen from the Knights of the White Wolf, these iconic warriors bring that fierce Ulrican flavor to your army.
- Imperial Ogres
- Towering mercenaries armed with either hand weapons or great weapons, plus one ogre nonchalantly hefting a literal cannon. Because why not?
Empire of Man Command Set (Resin)
Lastly, there’s a resin kit featuring:
- General of the Empire
- Captain of the Empire (with an imposing Battle Standard)
- Harbinger of Doom (rules found in Arcane Journal!)
Great for adding that final heroic or ominous touch to your budding Empire forces.
Necromunda: Halls of the Ancestors
While the Empire arms itself, the Ironhead Squat Prospectors are upping their game in the underhive. Halls of the Ancestors is the latest expansion, crammed with:
- Complete history of the Ironhead Squat Prospectors
- Updated rules for squads, including the new Exo-kyn and Svenotar Scout Trikes
- Hired guns, hangers-on, Dramatis Personae—you name it!
It’s the definitive resource for anyone who wants to harness the durability, cunning, and high-tech gear of the Squats on Necromunda.
Ironhead Squat Prospectors Exo-kyn
These four Exo-suited Squats pack old-school tech that’s crucial for surviving the ash wastes—or beating down rival gangs. Throw in two Techmite Exovators for a mechanical advantage when searching for loot or out-shooting rival prospectors.
Ironhead Squat Svenotar Scout Trikes
Fast, rugged, and bristling with twin-linked weaponry, these trikes let Squat gangs scout ahead and strike hard. Techmite Oculi provide targeting data so that no shot goes to waste.
Ironhead Squat Prospectors Weapons & Upgrades
Whether you need flamers, meltas, gem extractors, or saws, this plastic kit will kit out your squat crew with everything they need to survive the underhive. It also includes extra heads, arms, and other bits to differentiate your models.
Gang Tactics Cards & Dice
Grab 26 Gang Tactics Cards (18 tactics and 8 blank vehicle cards) plus a set of specialized dark white and green swirl dice to roll in style. Because if you’re braving Necromunda’s wastes, you might as well look cool doing it.
Luminark of Hysh (Age of Sigmar)
Finally, if you’re dabbling in the Mortal Realms, the Luminark of Hysh returns to hurl beams of light at the foes of Order. This kit can also be built as a Celestial Hurricanum, harnessing storms rather than lasers, and includes a Battlemage who can ride alongside. It’s been slightly tweaked to fit better in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, but still retains that beloved, over-the-top grandeur.
Gearing Up for the Future
This wave of returning Empire miniatures and the new Squat expansions in Necromunda shows how Warhammer: The Old World and Necromunda are expanding in truly exciting ways. From nostalgic classics to brand-new high-tech prospects, now’s the perfect time to rally your armies—be they in the underhive or in the war-torn realms of the Old World.
Keep your eyes peeled for announcements on availability and pre-orders. These are big releases, and you won’t want to miss your shot at forging some of the most iconic armies in Warhammer history, or staking your claim in the deadliest hive city around.
