| Sons of Behemat Age of Sigmar Middle-earth GW Pre-Orders |
King Brodd, Beast-smasher — on our shelf right now, and the perfect warlord to put in front of everything below.
The ground is trembling, and that only means one thing: the Sons of Behemat are on the march, and they’ve brought reinforcements. This week’s Sunday Preview is a giant-sized Age of Sigmar wave — a new witch-hero who blesses Gargants with almighty bigness, a box of disciplined Boss-stompers, two limited boxed sets stuffed with Mega-Gargants, a brand-new Destruction Battletome, and matching cards and dice. Over in Middle-earth, three Battlehost boxes give you a whole army in one purchase. Here’s the full rundown — and how to be first in line when our pre-orders open.

Want first dibs on the Sons of Behemat wave? GW says these go up for pre-order next week, and two of the boxes are “while stocks last.” Limited Gargant boxes do not hang around. Pop your email in below and tick Warhammer: Age of Sigmar — or Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game if the Battlehosts are what you’re after — and you’ll hear from us the moment ours go live. |

Age of Sigmar · New Miniatures The Gargants Get Bigger |
Four new kits, and every one of them is enormous. The two boxed sets are both limited to available stock, which historically means they sell through and never come back.

Why this matters Sons of Behemat has always been the “six models and you’re done” army — the cheapest full force to paint in Age of Sigmar, and the one that turns heads across the shop. This wave finally gives it a proper hero, a Spearhead entry point, and two boxed sets that stack Mega-Gargants at boxed-set value. If you’ve been eyeing this army from a distance, the Spearhead and the Stomper Tribe box are the two doors in. Brawlers of Behemat is the one we’d flag for anyone who wants a game to play tonight rather than an army to build — and it’s the one most likely to disappear first. GW hasn’t announced pricing yet; we’ll have exact numbers when pre-orders open. |

Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game Three Battlehosts, Three Armies |
Battlehost boxes are the easiest on-ramp in the hobby: one box, one army, ready to play. Better still, GW puts free downloadable rules on Warhammer Community that let any two Battlehost forces fight each other — no rulebook purchase required. Grab two, bring a friend, and you’re playing this week. Browse everything Middle-earth in our Middle-earth / Lord of the Rings collection.

Mirkwood Battlehost |
The Evil pick Dol Guldur Battlehost Smash through your enemies with the dark host of Dol Guldur, commanded by Bolg. If the Rohan and Mirkwood boxes are the two Good armies on the table, this is the one that gives them something to fight — and the reason to buy two boxes instead of one. |

Don’t want to wait for pre-orders? These are on the shelf right now. Every Sons of Behemat army wants a warlord, and King Brodd, Beast-smasher is the one — a crazed monster-hunter Mega-Gargant who can alternatively be built as a Kraken-eater. Keep your rules straight with the Sons of Behemat Faction Pack, and if you want the biggest thing in the Destruction Grand Alliance standing beside your Gargants, Kragnos, the End of Empires is in stock too. Building the other side of the table? The Cities of Sigmar Gate Gargants are the giants who fight for the free cities — well stocked and a great counterpoint to a Behemat force. See everything in our Sons of Behemat and Age of Sigmar collections. |

Middle-earth, in stock now Can’t wait for the new Battlehosts? The Minas Tirith Battlehost is the same one-box-one-army deal and it’s here today (only three left). For Rohan players, the Battle of Edoras Core Game is the full two-player starting point, and the Warriors of Rohan Commanders and Héra, Daughter of Helm add the leaders. |
Our Take
Sons of Behemat is the army people stop and stare at. A Mega-Gargant is a centrepiece model in the truest sense — one kit, one afternoon of painting, and suddenly your shelf has a landmark on it. What this wave does is fix the two things that always held the faction back: it hands them a real character in Ma Maegran, and it gives new players an actual entry point with the Spearhead and the Stomper Tribe box, instead of asking them to drop a full army’s worth on one giant and hope.
The one to watch is Brawlers of Behemat. Two Mega-Gargants plus terrain plus a self-contained game is the kind of box that gets bought by people who don’t play Age of Sigmar at all — and it’s limited. Same story with the Gamer’s Edition Battletome. If either one is on your list, being on our email list is the difference between getting one and reading about them.
GW hasn’t announced pricing or an exact pre-order date — just “next week.” The moment our pre-orders go live, we’ll update this post with direct links, and the email list hears first.
