It’s that time of year again folks, here’s a look at the upcoming Christmas Army Boxes going up for pre-order next week!

Halloween is still smouldering in its grave, and Mariah Carey has broken loose from her eldritch prison in the icy north.

And the forces of Wham have gathered to spread among the populace like an ill-wind.

While somewhere, a little drummer boy plays on, unimpeded.

Folks haven’t even had a week of November but capitalism will have its gingerbreaded, red, white, and green glory. Here comes Christmas marching in, in all its tinsel and ornamented finery. You can find it everywhere from department store playlists to next week’s 40K pre-orders, which feature the new army boxes that will make a perfect Christmas gift (or addition to your collection). So play the forbidden songs, even though December is still miles away. And let’s take a look at what you get this year.
