Warhammer Pre-Orders: May 2nd Brings Bone Legions and Burning Cities
The next wave of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar releases lands on May 2nd, and it’s a strong mix of elite army building and fast-start gameplay. Whether you’re looking to reinforce an existing force or jump into Spearhead with everything you need in one box, this week delivers.
Let’s break down what’s arriving on shelves.
Ossiarch Bonereapers: Null Myriad Phalanx (94-15)
If you’ve been waiting for a clean entry point into the Ossiarch Bonereapers—or a way to bulk up your existing legion—this Battleforce is exactly that.
The Null Myriad Phalanx is a 26-model box built around one of the faction’s most iconic leaders: Arkhan the Black. Backed by a mix of elite constructs and rank-and-file infantry, this set gives you a cohesive, table-ready core army right out of the gate.
What’s inside:
- Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament
- Mortisan Soulmason
- 4 Morghast (buildable as Archai or Harbingers)
- 20 Mortek Guard
This combination creates a balanced force with magic support, durable infantry, and hard-hitting mobile threats. ()
From a gameplay standpoint, this is a “bones first” foundation—reliable units that define how the army plays. It’s ideal for new players starting Bonereapers or veterans looking to reinforce their core without piecing together individual kits. ()
There’s also solid value baked in, with the bundle offering significant savings compared to buying the kits separately, making it one of the more efficient ways to build into Death. ()

Spearhead: City of Ash (70-801)
For players looking for a fast, self-contained way into Age of Sigmar, Spearhead: City of Ash is the standout release this week.
This box is designed as a complete play experience, featuring two opposing forces and everything needed to start playing immediately. On one side, you have the disciplined warriors of the Cities of Sigmar. On the other, the deadly Skaven of Clans Eshin strike from the shadows.
What you get:
- Two complete Spearhead forces (Cities of Sigmar vs Skaven)
- Game board and terrain
- Rules, cards, and play aids
It’s built for quick-start gameplay—ideal for new players, demo nights, or anyone wanting a tighter, faster Age of Sigmar experience without committing to a full army build right away. ()
The inclusion of two balanced forces makes it especially appealing for store play or introducing a friend to the hobby.
Release Date: May 2, 2026
Final Thoughts
This release week splits neatly into two paths:
- Army Builders: The Null Myriad Phalanx delivers a powerful, efficient core for Ossiarch Bonereapers players.
- New & Casual Players: Spearhead: City of Ash offers a complete, ready-to-play experience with strong replay value.
Both boxes hit different needs, but they share one thing: they’re designed to get models on the table quickly.
