Welcome to another Warhammer Bulletin, taking a look each week at what’s gone up for pre-order in the Warhammer universe. The Horus Heresy expanded recently to include the Battle for Beta-Garmon and we are now getting some key miniatures to go along with that, plus some crucial reinforcements for Legions Imperialis.
Legions Imperialis
Legiones Astartes - Battle Group
A classic assortment of units comes to town, but rather smaller than we’re used to. The Legiones Astartes Battle Group brings a diverse selection of flexible units together to create a powerful army. Ideal for beginners or to expand an existing force.
This set includes…now take a second to absorb the sheer volume here…4 Kratos Heavy Tanks, 10 Rhino transports, 4 Leviathan Dreadnoughts, 4 Deredeo Dreadnoughts, 4 Rapier batteries, 4 Tarantulas, 2 Command Squads, 8 Tactical Legionary bases, 2 Terminator bases, 2 Assault Marine bases, 4 Support Legionary bases, 4 Contemptor Dreadnoughts, 4 Outrider bases, 6 Scimitar jetbike bases, 4 Javelins, and 4 Land Speeders.
Predator Squadron
Infantry is good, but sometimes the thing you need is armoured support. Now you can get a squadron of the iconic Predator tanks with either Predator cannons or twin-linked lascannons, plus heavy bolters or even more lascannons.
This set includes 6 tanks and a sheet of thousands of decals.
Solar Auxilia
Battle Group
Lets face it, Space Marines are all well and good but it’s the little guys who really get things done. A lot of the little guys to be precise. Like the other battle group going up for pre-order this week, this set contains a huge amount of miniatures, this time for the Solar Auxilia. Perfect for all comers, I must admit I’m tempted myself, (looks at unpainted miniatures shelf), perhaps next time.
This set includes, 2 Baneblade/Hellhammer super-heavy tanks, 12 Rapier batteries, 4 Cyclops remote bombs, 12 Tarantula sentry guns, 2 Legate Commander bases, 8 Auxiliary bases, 4 Veletarii bases, 4 Auxiliary bases with flamers, 4 Charonite Ogryn bases, 4 Aethon Heavy Sentinels, 6 Dracosan transport tanks, and 8 Leman Russ Strike tanks.
Leman Russ Strike Squadron
You can never have enough Leman Russ tanks. This is a fact of the universe. So why not add some more to help eradicate the enemy. They come with a choice of battle cannon or anti-tank Vanquisher cannon. They also include either a heavy bolter or lascannon on the hull.
This set includes 8 tanks.
Repackaged Miniatures
As they are now used in several games, but primarily now Legions Imperialis, some models have returned to stock in new packaging. Please note that unless they have been explicitly removed, they are still usable in their original games, such as Adeptus Titanicus and Aeronautica Imperialis.

As Jaghatai Khan stood on the fence in the ongoing conflict, forces within his own ranks plotted to force his hand. This included Hibou Khan who commanded the Brotherhood of the Dawn Sky.

Legiones Astartes Command Squads and Legiones Command Upgrade Set
