Games Workshop has unveiled this year’s special Boxing Day miniatures, featuring an all-new Avian Arch-Knight and the return of the fan-favourite Kroot Carnivore with dynamic leaping pose. These limited models arrive during the annual holiday release window and will only be available for a short time.
TL;DR
The 2025 Boxing Day release includes two collectible Warhammer miniatures: a new Avian Arch-Knight and a reissued Kroot Carnivore. Both will be sold exclusively through Games Workshop stores and the official webstore during the holiday season.
Key Points:
• Limited Boxing Day release, available while stock lasts
• One brand-new sculpt and one returning favourite
• Highly adaptable for skirmish games and display collectors
The standout reveal this year is the Avian Arch-Knight, a feathered, armored warrior perched mid-strike. The sculpt leans into fantasy knight aesthetics with a bird-like silhouette, offering a striking centerpiece for collectors and painters. Alongside it comes the returning Kroot Carnivore, captured mid-pounce in a cinematic leap.
Games Workshop confirmed both models will be available through local Warhammer stores, independent retailers that opt in, and the GW webstore. As usual for Boxing Day editions, stock will be extremely limited, and availability may vary by region.
Painters will enjoy the textures on both miniatures—feathers, plating, leather straps, and flowing motion lines. Fans of skirmish-scale battles will appreciate how easily these sculpts can slot into narrative warband play. In Gangfight, the Avian Knight would fit cleanly as a high-mobility melee specialist, while the Kroot Carnivore works as a feral tracker or ambush fighter.
Why it matters for Skirmish Gamers
Seasonal miniatures like these often become collectors’ pieces, but they also serve as great conversions or characters for custom skirmish scenarios. For Gangfight players, they add memorable heroes and adversaries to narrative campaigns. For hobbyists, they offer fun winter-break projects full of texture and personality.
