Games Workshop Pre-Orders: Legions Imperialis & High Elves Weekend
Games Workshop’s pre-orders are up. It’s Legions Imperialis and High Elves this weekend.
There’s a whole bunch of tiny Knights up for pre-order as well as the returning High Elves from Games Workshop. Personally, I’m tempted by the High Elves but I’m probably going to have to hold off on that army. Still, I’m really glad to see the Lion Chariots back in action. I’m also glad to see Legions Imperialis get some attention, too. More Epic scale miniatures is good times in my book! Anyhow, let’s check out those pre-orders.

Legions Imperialis: Mechanicum Questoris Knights Magaera and Styrix $52
Knights Magaera and Styrix are rare variants of the common Questoris suit. Both are marvels of technological sophistication, designed to mercilessly eradicate any who oppose the Omnissiah’s will – and invested with dedicated repair autosimulacra and ionic flare shields, enhancing the survivability of the armour. They are deadly frontline war machines when assaults upon fortified positions are warranted.
This multipart plastic kit builds two Questoris Knights Magaera and two Questoris Knights Styrix, especially survivable Knights for your Mechanicum, Dark Mechanicum, or Questoris Familia armies, or as allies in your Legiones Astartes or Solar Auxilia armies, in games of Legions Imperialis. The Knights Magaera are equipped with a lightning cannon and phased plasma-fusil, while the Knights Styrix wield a volkite chieorovile and a graviton gun. Both variants are equipped with a Hekaton siege claw to tear apart anything that gets too close, as well as ionic flare shields and auto-simulacra to heal themselves, making these Knights incredibly durable. Each Knight can be assembled with an optional banner – either Mechanicum or Questoris/Household.
This kit contains 122 plastic components, 4x Legions Imperialis 40mm Round Bases, and a Mechanicum Knight Transfer Sheet containing 419 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints. The kit also includes a Magaera Command Terminal and a Styrix Command Terminal for Adeptus Titanicus.
Rules for using your Questoris Knights Magaera and Styrix can be found in the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis Rulebook, available separately.
Legions Imperialis: Mechanicum Cerastus Knights Atrapos $80
Cerastus Knights Atrapos are patterns of ancient provenance and staggering potency – it is a rare honour for a Household to count them among its ranks and each is a relic treated with singular reverence. They are often employed against enemy Knights as executioners for wayward scions who have strayed from the allegiance of their House. The cold hunger for destruction within their machine spirit is sated only by the ruination of such great adversaries.
This multipart plastic kit builds four Cerastus Knights Atrapos, fast and deadly Knights for your Mechanicum, Dark Mechanicum, or Questoris Familia armies, or as allies in your Legiones Astartes or Solar Auxilia armies, in games of Legions Imperialis. This loadout is exceptional at taking on heavy armour, including other Knights, with its graviton singularity cannon and Atrapos lascutter ideal for giving even the toughest enemy units something to fear.
It’s easy to customise your Knights with interchangeable legs, torsos, heads, arms, shoulder pads, and leg greaves. There are plain shoulder pads and greaves, and options decorated with the Mechanicum logo so you can display your allegiance.
This kit contains 126 plastic components, 4x Legions Imperialis 50mm Round Bases, and a Mechanicum Knight Transfer Sheet containing 419 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints. The kit also includes a Cerastus Knights Atrapos Command Terminal for Adeptus Titanicus.
Rules for using your Cerastus Knights Atrapos can be found in the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis Rulebook, available separately.
Legions Imperialis: Mechanicum Acastus Knights Asterius $60
Acastus Knights Asterius are armed with heavy conversion beam cannons able to reduce the mightiest edifices to ash and even threaten the colossal engines of the Titan Legions. Their secondary weapon systems are deadly in their own right – the massive carapace-mounted Karacnos mortar battery is capable of annihilating entire phalanxes of troop formations, or saturating ramparts with high-impact explosives, while the two torso mounted volkite culverins destroy priority targets.
This multipart plastic kit builds two Acastus Knights Asterius, devastating war machines for your Mechanicum, Dark Mechanicum, or Questoris Familia armies, or as allies in your Legiones Astartes or Solar Auxilia armies, in games of Legions Imperialis. Equipped with a lethal arsenal, they can take on everything from massed infantry to heavy armour, other Knights, and even Titans. If you’re looking for some serious firepower to add to your forces, these massive, heavily armoured Knights are an imposing way to add it. The Karacnos mortar batteries can be assembled open or closed on both miniatures.
This kit comprises 94 plastic components, 2x Legions Imperialis 60mm Round Bases, and 1x Mechanicum Knight Transfer Sheet containing 419 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints. The kit also includes a Knight Asterius Command Terminal for Adeptus Titanicus.
Rules for using your Acastus Knights Asterius can be found in the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis Rulebook, available separately.
Legions Imperialis: Mechanicum Krios Squadron $52
The Krios is the most commonly employed armoured unit of the Mechanicum, comparable in function and tactical role to the Predator tank widely used by the Legiones Astartes. Possessed of great speed and manoeuvrability, and mounted with numerous weapon patterns including a lightning cannon or irad-scourer, Krios squadrons are formidable armoured units that provide mobile firepower to Taghmata forces.
This multipart plastic kit builds six Krios tanks for your Mechanicum or Dark Mechanicum armies, or as allies in your Legiones Astartes or Solar Auxilia armies, in games of Legions Imperialis. Each miniature can be built as a Krios Battle Tank, armed with a Krios lightning cannon and volkite caliver sponsons, and up to four tanks can replace the lightning cannon with an irad-scourer as the main armament. Up to four miniatures can alternatively be built as Krios Venators, each equipped with an armour-busting pulsar-fusil. No matter how you choose to assemble them, these battle tanks add some rapid-response firepower where it’s needed most.
This kit comprises 120 plastic components, and 1x Mechanicum Transfer Sheet containing 500 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Rules for using your Krios squadron in games of Legions Imperialis can be found in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis: The Rise of the Dark Mechanicum, available separately.
Legions Imperialis: Mechanicum Karacnos Assault Tank Squadron $52
The Karacnos is a variant of the Triaros Armoured Conveyor, but with the transport compartment replaced by a store of radiological mortars. Together with independently targeting lightning locks, the Karacnos functions in the role of mobile artillery platform, able to close with the enemy battle line and weather shock assault conditions to deliver its deadly cargo.
This multipart plastic kit builds four Karacnos assault tanks, powerful mobile artillery for your Mechanicum or Dark Mechanicum armies, or as allies in your Legiones Astartes or Solar Auxilia armies, in games of Legions Imperialis. Each one is a well-protected fire base, unleashing infantry-decimating irradiated mortar shells and punishing volleys from the lightning locks. They can be assembled with their mortar batteries exposed, or tucked away. These potent tanks will add heavy firepower to your army, and are ideal area-denial units.
This kit comprises 124 plastic components, and 1x Mechanicum Transfer Sheet containing 500 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Tiranoc Chariots weave between enemy units at full speed, raining arrows onto unprotected flanks and raking enemy lines with steel-tipped spears. Only when the enemy is sufficiently weakened do the charioteers crash into the press of melee in a glorious massed charge – the steeds biting and kicking, the riders thrusting weapons into the hearts of their foes.
This multipart plastic kit builds two Chariots for your High Elf Realms armies in games of Warhammer: The Old World. Choose two Lion Chariots of Chrace, two Tiranoc Chariots, or one of each. Tiranoc Chariots are swift, light, elegant engines of war, able to operate as an independent harassment unit, or to bolster your cavalry charge, opening up new tactical options for your force. There is a choice of two heads for the driver, and two heads for the crew, who can be armed with a spear or a bow, and there is also a spear or a bow to add to the rear of the chariot to further personalise your miniature.
Lion Chariots of Chrace are a heavier option with even greater hitting power. They are ideal for charging headlong into the fray and tearing into the foe with the fangs and claws of the War Lions that pull the chariot. If you choose to build this kit as Tiranoc Chariots, the leftover lion miniatures can be used to represent War Lions in your games. Please note that bases for War Lions are not included in this kit.

These miniatures are also available in the High Elf Realms Battalion boxed set.
Elven Archers have won countless battles through their skill with a longbow alone. Thanks to the levy system introduced by the Phoenix King, all Elves are called upon to form a militia and fight in defence of their homeland, laying the foundation upon which all Elven armies are built. When an Elf begins their martial training as part of this levy, they first learn the arts of swordsmanship and archery. Only once they have mastered both blade and bow are they inducted into the ranks of an archer regiment.
This multipart plastic kit builds 32 Elven Archers, long-range fighting infantry for your High Elf Realms armies for use in games of Warhammer: The Old World. Elven archers are some of the most accurate to be found, reliably striking distant foes.
This kit can build one large unit, or two smaller units of 16, each with its own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. The standard bearer has a choice of two different banner toppers. The heads, arms, and torsos are interchangeable across the miniatures, and there are also optional headband decorations for each archer and sashes for their waists, making it easy to customise your units.

Elven Spearmen have won countless battles through their skill alone. Elves train with bow and blade first, then after a decade or so of service, those that prove worthy are called to join the massed ranks of a spear regiment.
This multipart plastic kit builds 32 Elven Spearmen, reliable infantry for your High Elf Realms armies in games of Warhammer: The Old World. These effective and flexible core troops are well-equipped, armed, and armoured. They can be relied upon to hold their ground or march implacably forward.

Lothern Skycutters are sleek, airborne chariots that rest upon a cushion of magic and are drawn into battle by the Swiftfeather Rocs that nest along the Glittering Coast. They serve as the eyes and ears of Lothern’s fleets, allowing them to plan engagements long before the enemy is even aware of their presence.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Lothern Skycutter for your High Elf Realms armies in games of Warhammer: The Old World.This fast moving unit is able to clear the skies and strike where your enemy least expect it.
It can be crewed by three Lothern Sea Guard, two Lothern Sea Guard and an eagle-eye bolt thrower, or a High Elf Lord with one Lothern Sea Guard. The Swiftfeather Roc has a choice of two different heads, two sets of claws, and can be assembled with its wings up or down. The chariot itself has a choice of two front figurehead decorations, two back banners, and two rear decorations, while the crew each have two head options, making it easy to customise your airbourne war machine. The High Elf Lord can be assembled with or without a cape and if you equip your Lothern Skycutter with an eagle-eye bolt thrower, they can alternatively be built on foot, and also has the option of carrying a Battle Standard.

The Dragon Princes of Caledor regard themselves as the elite even amongst the nobility of Ulthuan’s kingdoms. Their true character emerges only in the thick of battle, where they would die without hesitation if such a sacrifice would save but one of Ulthuan’s people. Only when the battle-light fades from the Dragon Prince’s eyes does their callous pride return.
This multipart plastic kit builds ten Dragon Princes of Caledor, elite cavalry for use in High Elf Realms armies in games of Warhammer: The Old World. These heavy cavalry are ideal for breaking the back of enemy units with their nigh-unstoppable charges.
They can be assembled as one large unit, or two units of five warriors, each with their own optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. The champion has two different helmet options to choose from, and the standard bearer has a choice of two banner toppers. The heads, shields, scabbards, lances, lance banners, streamers, and torsos are all interchangeable across each rider, and each Dragon Prince can be mounted on any of the barded Elven steeds, making it easy to customise your unit.

High Elf Mages are fascinated by the secrets of sorcery, and their nimble minds can embrace a deeper understanding of its subtleties and whims than other Wizards. The entire world owes much to their disciplined and selfless actions, for it is by their efforts alone that the Great Vortex and the network of waystones that feed it are maintained, and the dread power of Chaos is kept in abeyance.
This multipart plastic kit builds two High Elf Mages – one on foot and one atop a barded Elven steed – powerful Wizards for High Elf Realms armies in games of Warhammer: The Old World. These masters of the arcane arts are able to unleash the powers of the Winds of Magic upon your foes.
This highly customisable kit lets you build just the right High Elf Mage for your force. There are five different heads in the kit, which can be used by either miniature. The mounted Mage can be equipped with either a flaming sword or a magical staff, and has an optional themed piece of terrain to decorate their base. The flaming sword can alternatively be given to the Mage on foot, who also has a choice of three scenic elements for their base – rocks, a swirling magical vortex, and a pile of enchanted floating rocks. They can be equipped with a sword or magic sceptre in their right hand, and a book or magic staff in their left hand. The magic staffs of both Mages have a choice of four different tops, making it easy to further personalise your wizards. Please note the scenic basing elements will require some trimming to use, and instructions on how to do this are not included in the construction booklet.
