The Khazalite Holds pre-orders finally bring the faction’s full launch wave into view.
New characters, infantry, artillery, and Gholems greatly broaden the army beyond its earlier boxed set. At the same time, Fyreslayers gain fresh Spearhead and Regiment of Renown options. Black Library and Warhammer TV also keep the wider duardin push moving.
Khazalite Holds Pre-orders Deliver the Army’s Full Range
High Kyng Valankrom leads the release as the faction’s centerpiece model, riding his War Throne into battle with Bharadreng. However, the kit can alternatively build a standard Thrynn on War Throne, which gives collectors welcome flexibility.
A separate Thrynn kit adds another traditional karak lord, while the Runewright handles the army’s rune-powered magic.
Valayan Guardians provide the elite infantry, with either runic halberds or rune axes and shields. In particular, they pair naturally with the We Honour Valaya Ancestral Vow for extra resilience.
Clangunners cover ranged warfare with a choice between long-ranged Thrundok rifles and brutal Thrundrin shotcannons. Better still, their kit includes extensive command and head options, so duplicate units should not look identical.
Ormyr and Ashtongue add a more unusual hero choice. Ormyr is a wandering Fyreslayer, while Ashtongue is the Kyndledroth he rescued from hobgrots. Together, they bring Grimmdron firepower into the wider duardin force.
Hjulda Drakkblud also receives an individual release after debuting in the Army Set. Her story remains focused on reclaiming lost karaks while searching for her clan’s former home.
Clanshields likewise leave the launch box as a standalone kit, giving players access to the faction’s reliable objective-holding core. Their extensive build options should also appeal to hobbyists who want each regiment to feel distinct.
Heavy support arrives through the Oathkeeper Cannon, which is designed for monsters and other hard targets. Alternatively, the same kit builds a Stonebreaker Mortar for clearing infantry hordes. Gholems add another major dual-build kit.
Gholems of Gazul carry massive two-handed hammers, while Gholems of Valaya swap into huge axes and shields. Therefore, players can choose between aggressive linebreakers and more defensive living statues without buying separate kits.
The Khazalite Holds pre-orders also include Spearhead: Magmic Fyrd. This Fyreslayer force contains a Runefather on Magmadroth, a Runesmiter, nine Vulkyn Flameseekers, and five Auric Hearthguard.
Fjori’s Vengeance then offers Order armies a compact Fyreslayer Regiment of Renown with a Grimhold Exile, Flamekeeper, and Hearthguard Berzerkers. The full Battletome arrives in standard and Gamer’s Edition formats.
The smaller Gamer’s Edition contains the same material plus 53 reference cards, although it is limited while stocks last. Matching frosted green Khazalite dice are also limited.
White Dwarf 530 supports the release with designer interviews, painting coverage, faction artwork, and an Adeptus Custodes battle report.
Beyond Age of Sigmar, John French’s Wrath of Terra continues The Scouring on Mars. The novel follows the war against the Dark Mechanicum, political maneuvering on Terra, and Blood Angels grieving Sanguinius.
A premium edition adds a black leather-effect cover and silver-finish medallion, while standard hardback and translated editions also release. Finally, Warhammer TV adds more Khazalite lore and another Tale of Four Gamers installment.
Final Thoughts
Overall, these Khazalite Holds pre-orders turn the faction from an exciting preview army into a genuinely broad range. The mix of heroes, infantry, artillery, and dual-build kits gives players several clear directions for expansion. Meanwhile, the Fyreslayer options help the wider duardin collection feel connected rather than fragmented. Wrath of Terra and the hobby coverage make this a fuller release week than one faction launch alone.
