The Empire of Man is the first faction of 2025 to be re-released with a host of new returning kits. The Empire of Man Arcane Journal contains rules for two new named heroes: Harald Gemunsen, Grand Master Of The Knights Panther, and General Hans von Löwenhacke, plus many more units, and two armies of infamies, one dedicated to City-State of Nuln and one to the Knightly Orders of the Empire.

General Hans von Löwenhacke

General Hans von Löwenhacke is the first of two completely new resin models associated to the re-release of the Empire. Counting as a General of the Empire, he is currently employed by the armies of Nuln, one of the new armies of infamy.

Harald Gemunsen, Grand Master of the Knights Panther

Harald Gemunsen is a strong warrior with an incredible past, who reached the highest rank of the Knightly Order of the Knights Panther: that of Grand Master. While it can be fielded in any Empire army, he will excel in the Knightly Order Army of Infamy. This model will be available in ForgeWorld resin, but, interestingly, his previous iteration in metal will also be available as a generic Grand Master of the Knights Panther.

Empire Battle Wizard and familiar

As part of a new series of wizards in ForgeWorld resin, we find this model that can easily be used as a scholar of the Winds of Azyr, while the painting job depicts him from Middenheim.

Empire Elementalist and Familiar

The second wizard and his toad familiar can easily be associated with Ghyran (Life) or Ghur (Beasts).

Empire Necromancer Wizard and Familiar

Finally, the third one looks like a Necromancer expert in Shyish magic with his short skeleton familiar.

Dwarves – Burlok Damminson

The great Dwarf engineer, already presented in the Dwarves’ Army of Infamy book, finally got a new model in ForgeWorld resin. His first miniature dates back to 1993 where he was much older and supported Karl Franz.

Warriors of Chaos – Frydaal the Chainmaker

While the rules were already available in the Warriors of Chaos Army of Infamy, Frydaal now got also her own resin model. She is a named Exalted Champion currently busy raiding Empire’s northern lands and perfect in a Wolves of the Sea Army of Infamy.

Warriors of Chaos – Galrauch the Great Drake

Galrauch is technically a re-release of a 2002 model in metal, and was the missing named character from the Warrior of Chaos Army of Infamy. He is an ancient dragon long corrupted by the forces of Chaos, with still his old spirit trapped within and fighting to regain control.

Bretonnia – Sir Cecil Gastonne

Sir Cecil Gastonne the Wyrm Slayer, a Bretonnian Lord, got his nickname after killing the wyvern known as Norndrak the Tyrant and fashioning his remains in the cloak that now protects him. His rules were first published in the Bretonnia Arcane Journal.

Empire Made to Order kits

The following kits have been available on a strict Made to Order basis from the 1st to the 10th of February, meaning that there was only one occasion to order them and this unfortunately included also the remastered War Wagon from 1992 with a new hand-sculpted Engineer.

The other kits include:

General of the Empire on Griffon (2000)
Commander of the Empire on Pegasus (1991)
Commanders of the Empire (a set of 4 miniatures all mail to order exclusive miniatures of the 6th, 7th and 8th edition)
Empire Battle Standard Bearer (same as above)
Engineers (a set of 3 from 2000)

High Elf Realms Battalion and Arcane Journal

The High Elves returned to the Old World with a plethora of new models and returning sculpts. Their battalion contains 32 Elven Spearmen, 32 Elven Archers and two Tiranoc Chariots which can also be assembled as Chariots of Chrace, all in plastic.

The Arcane Journal contains new units, like Korhil Lionmane and Ishaya Vess, including some new sculpts, and two armies of infamy: the Chracian Warhost and the Sea Guard Garrison from Lothern.

Lord of Chrace

This brand-new resin kit can be used to represent an Elf Lord with Chracian Honours or a Chracian Chieftain from the new army of infamy.

Ishaya Vess, Sentinel of the Silent Isle

Ishaya Vess, armed with the Trident of Mathlann’s Ire, guides the Lothern Sea Guard Garrison with her new resin sculpt.

Ellyrian Reavers

Reminiscent of the kit first released in the Island of Blood box set from 2010, this is a new kit representing skilled young nobles riding a shock cavalry.
