The shadows of the deep woods are stirring once more. With the release of the Beastmen Brayherds Battalion and their Arcane Journal, Chaos comes crashing back into the Old World—and this time, it’s dragging a horde of classic kits with it.
Whether you’re a long-time Brayherds player or just looking to unleash primal fury onto the battlefield, there’s a lot to be excited about—especially if you’re a fan of savage raids, massive monsters, and lore-steeped faction rules.
The Herd Stirs: New Releases and Army Rules
At the heart of this launch is the Beastmen Brayherds Battalion, a monstrous box packed with 61 miniatures—30 Ungors, 30 Gors, and a towering Cygor or Ghorgon. It’s a full-blown warband in a box, perfect for starting or expanding your force. Two full transfer sheets (with over 400 transfers) let you mark your herd with all the chaos runes and tribal sigils you need.
Complementing the minis is the Arcane Journal: Beastmen Brayherds, a 48-page deep dive into the twisted culture of the horned ones. You’ll find two Armies of Infamy inside—Wild Herds and Minotaur Blood Herds—along with a bestiary of unit rules, special characters, the Lore of Primal Magic, and thematic magic items. There’s also a matching dice set and a quick-reference card pack to round things out.
Classic Kits Return from the Forest
This release sees the return of a ton of old-school kits, reissued in plastic, resin, and metal—each one steeped in grim Old World flavour:
- Plastic kits cover everything from core infantry to towering beasts: Ungors, Gors, Bestigors, Minotaurs, and character kits like Beastlords and Bray-Shamans. Want a giant chaos monstrosity? Pick your poison—Ghorgon or Cygor.
- Resin kits include warped creatures like the Doombull, Cockatrice, Jabberslythe, and Preyton. These Forge World remasters bring back fan-favorites from the Finecast era with sharper detail and sturdier construction.
- Metal classics round out the horde: Wargor Standard Bearers, Centigor Lords, and Ghorros Warhoof, along with Centigor Herds and their commanders, Razorgors, and Tuskgor Chariots.
The War for the Forest Begins
The Brayherds aren’t just lashing out at random—they’re desecrating the forests, and that’s brought them into direct conflict with the Wood Elf Realms, who are now on high alert. It’s the classic struggle of wild chaos against natural order, with both factions emerging from the woods ready for war.
This is a massive expansion for The Old World—both in terms of gameplay and narrative scope—and it’s the perfect time to dive into the tangled underbrush of Beastmen lore and unleash havoc on the battlefield.
Stay tuned for pre-order dates, and sharpen your axes. The woods are watching.
