Games Workshop Announces Next-Week Pre-Order Wave Featuring Exodite Kill Team and Horus Heresy Squads

Games Workshop will open pre-orders next week for a series of new Warhammer 40,000 miniature kits. The lineup centers on a boxed Exodite Kill Team, several standalone Kill Teams, new terrain boxes for Combat Patrol, and two Horus Heresy squads equipped with Mk IV power armor. All items are slated for immediate availability upon announcement.

The flagship Exodite box contains three Dragon Masters, two Drakolithes, ten Beast Snagga Boyz and five Squighog Boyz. The included narrative pits the Exodite Dragon Masters against a opposing Beast Snagga Ork unit, which can be used as non-player objectives in the set’s missions. The Exodites—Aeldari who ride dinosaurs—receive their first dedicated Kill Team update in several years.

Staff writer J.R. Zambrano notes that the Exodite release “updates the Exodites for the first time in a while” and highlights the appeal of “space elves that ride dinosaurs.” The article emphasizes the breadth of the upcoming wave, describing the new kits as “extremely cool looking” and suitable for expanding both 40K and Horus Heresy armies.
