Preorders for Soul Wars will begin June 16th with the boxed set arriving in stores June 30th. There isn’t any MSRP info as of yet.

From Games Workshop:

The day has finally come. With the new edition almost upon us, we can reveal the culmination of Nagash’s great work and the beginning of a new chapter for Warhammer Age of Sigmar – SOUL WARS. Soul Wars is, without a doubt, Warhammer Age of Sigmar’s best boxed set ever. Hell, it’s maybe the best Warhammer boxed set ever – jam-packed with brand new content for every kind of player, from two armies of never-before-seen models to the new edition’s magnificent core book, and even more besides. And it can all be yours, available to pre-order on June 16th and in stores June 30th.

Let’s start with the models – if these were the only thing in the box, it’d still be an incredible set. Soul Wars is the first place you’ll be able to get miniatures for the new Sacrosanct Chamber and Nighthaunt. Thanks to some extra-cunning engineering, every single model in the kit is push fit, from your line infantry to the magnificent Heroes who lead each force. If you’re looking to get gaming in the new edition as soon as possible, just grab a pair of clippers and you’ll have both forces built in no time.

The miniatures in this set represent some of Warhammer Age of Sigmar’s most anticipated releases to date, from a bold new direction for the Stormcast Eternals, to Death’s first major release in years.

Representing nobility, justice and defiance, we have the Sacrosanct Chamber – a gathering of magi and engineers who have turned their arts to a singular purpose: annihilation. The box contains a host of warriors from this newly opened Chamber, including the first-ever Stormcast Eternals Wizards and the debut of the Celestar Ballista – the first Stormcast Eternals war machine. You’ll find this set great for bolstering an existing army or kicking off a brand new one.

Facing them are the dread legions of the Nighthaunt, a terrifying new force assembled by Nagash to conquer the Mortal Realms. These are some of the first new models for Death in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and it’s safe to say the wait has been worth it. Each model is exquisitely detailed, using the latest miniatures design technology to create a force quite unlike any we’ve ever seen before in Warhammer. This is the best way to kick off a new Nighthaunt force or to add a contingent of these ethereal killers to the Legions of Nagash.

That’s a LOT of models! And that’s not all. You’ll also find everything else you need to play:

Firstly, you’ll find a Getting Started booklet in the set to guide you through your first few games and teach you how to play, so if you’re new and looking for an easy way in, this is it! Meanwhile, the 32-page Battle for Glymmsforge booklet follows the story of the armies in the boxed set, as the Stormcast Eternals encounter the new Nighthaunt for the first time in the opening battles of the Soul Wars.

If you want to learn more about the narrative, you’ll find the first chapter of Josh Reynold’s Soul Wars novel in the box as well. Finally, 13 new-format warscroll cards make checking the rules of your models mid-game easy, while turquoise gem dice and measuring sticks mean that you’ll be able to start playing as soon as your armies are built. And, to top it all off, you get the complete Core Book for the new edition – all 320 glorious pages in full colour and wrapped in a sturdy hardback cover.
