Games Workshop Pre-Orders: Aeldari Phoenix Lord Weekend
The Aeldari Phoenix Lords and their new plastic kits are up for pre-order this weekend for Warhammer 40,000!
As a 40k fan who also happens to have an Aeldari army I’m excited for these pre-orders. It’s been a LONG time coming but the Phoenix Lords are getting a massive plastic update. Personally, I can’t decide which miniature I like the most this weekend. But if I had to choose one pairing? I’d go with Fuegan and the Fire Dragons. I know everyone is going to be gunning for the Warp Spiders and their new Phoenix Lord, but I’m a sucker for a unit that’s been an old reliable go to for years. Nothing melts armor like a unit of Fire Dragons coming out of a Wave Serpent or Falcon! But you do you.
