Games Workshop has opened pre-orders for two modern Warhammer Age of Sigmar boxed sets: the City of Ash Spearhead and the Ossiarch Bonereapers Null Myriad Phalanx Battleforce, both launching May 9, 2026.
The City of Ash set, priced at $220, includes 42 multipart plastic miniatures representing Freeguild defenders and Skaven attackers, a double-sided game board, ruined estate scenery, objective markers, a 72-page handbook, mission book, and Spearhead cards. It offers two balanced armies for introductory play.
The Null Myriad Phalanx Battleforce, at $250, contains 26 Ossiarch Bonereapers miniatures led by Arkhan the Black on his dread abyssal mount, supported by Mortek Guard infantry and Morghast constructs. It is marketed as a cost-saving entry point for new or expanding armies.
Sources confirm the Ashes of Faith spearhead and Null Myriad Phalanx set were revealed for pre-order starting April 18, 2026, with the limited edition Dan Abnett Hive novel also slated for May 9 release in a signed, numbered slipcase with blood-red trim.
While all three sources agree on pricing, contents, and release dates, Bell of Lost Souls adds editorial context noting the set’s utility for players already invested in Ossiarch Bonereapers, describing it as “ideal for expanding an existing army” and highlighting the dual-build flexibility of Morghast units.
The Warhammer Community site’s copyright notice emphasizes strict prohibitions on using its content to train generative AI systems, a recurring legal notice across Games Workshop’s digital properties.
What is included in the City of Ash Spearhead set?
The set contains 42 miniatures: Colonel-Ranger Yorvan Kriel, Texa the Ash Panther, Forge Priest Mallus, five Freeguild Outriders, Skaven Deathmaster, 10 Gutter Runners, 10 Night Runners, two Rat Bombs, and Deathmaster Krixit, plus a game board, scenery, handbook, mission book, and cards.
Can the Arkhan the Black model be built differently?
Yes, Arkhan the Black can alternatively be assembled as Mannfred von Carstein or Neferata, representing different Mortarchs of Nagash, according to the kit’s instructions.
Is the Dan Abnett Hive novel available separately?
No, the limited edition is only available as part of the pre-order bundle and will not be sold separately; it includes both volumes in a slipcase with signed, numbered copies and red ribbon bookmarks.
