Black Friday Warhammer deals 2023 - the best weekend deals that are still live

Warhammer 40K Introductory Set | $65 $55.25 at Amazon
Save $10 - This is not quite an all-time low, but at ten bucks off, it's still a bargain for a Warhammer beginner, offering the basics for building and painting miniatures.

🔶 UK: £40 £32 at Wayland Games (out of stock)

Buy it if:
✅ You (or someone you know) are just starting out
✅ You don't have paints or tools

Don't buy it if:
❌ You want more models to get started with

💲 Walmart | $54.99
💲 Games Workshop | $65

Warhammer 40K Starter Set | $110 $93.50 at Amazon
Save $16 - While Amazon doesn't say this is a deal, this Starter Set costs $110 from Games Workshop, so this is even better value.

🔶 UK price: £65 £52 at Wayland Games (out of stock)

Buy it if:
✅ You're starting a Marine or Tyranid army
✅ You want to learn how to play

Don't buy it if:

💲 Walmart | $98.99  
💲 Games Workshop | $110

Warhammer 40K Leviathan | $239.99 $212 at Amazon
Save $28 - Being a limited-run set that Games Workshop doesn't sell directly through it's website anymore, a complete Leviathan box is pretty rare these days. It's nice to see the price fall by almost $30, even though we reckon the whole set is a pretty good deal anyway!

🔶 UK: £150 at Element Games (no discount)

Buy it if:
✅ You're starting or bolstering a Marine or Tyranid army

Don't buy it if:
❌ Massive painting projects intimidate you

Cadia Stands: Astra Millitarum Army Set | $150 $108.73 at Amazon
Save $40 - Sure, it says that the MSRP is $115 at Amazon. But that simply isn't true. It started out at $200, is $150 elsewhere right now, and averages $130. That means we'll take this as a win. More importantly, that's its lowest ever price.

Buy it if:
✅ You want to start Imperial Guard
✅ You want a balanced starter army

Don't buy it if:
❌ You want an up-to-date Codex

Price check:
💲 Walmart | $150
💲 Games Workshop | OOS

Warhammer 40K Recruit Edition (9th ed.) | $55.26 $42.42 at Walmart
Save $12 - While that is close to this starter set's lowest ever price, we'll say to approach with caution. This is for the previous edition of Warhammer 40,000, so only get it if you want some Space Marine and Necron models for less. Otherwise, it'll be pretty out of date.

🔶 UK: Unavailable

Buy it if:
✅ You have a Space Marine and Necron army
✅ You already know how to play

Don't buy it if:
❌ You want to learn the game

Price check:
💲 Amazon | $69.99

Legiones Astartes Battle Group | $210 $185.95 at Amazon
Save $24 - That's still quite pricey in the grand scheme of things, but it's still a decent discount. In fact, the price has been swinging up and down in the last days few days. It's unlikely to go down much more, so if you want to get started with Horus Heresy, this is the best option right now.

Battle of Osgiliath | $210 $178.50 at Amazon
Save $32.50 - This entry-level box set for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game has been cheaper in the past, but not by much. Plus, we've not seen that record-low price since around March, so this isn't too bad overall in terms of Black Friday Warhammer deals.

Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood | $95 $80.75 at Amazon
Save $14 - It's not exactly a stop-the-presses incredible saving, but Gnarlwood was brand new and we hadn't seen it reduced at that stage, so this was still one of the better Black Friday Warhammer deals so far. Particularly due to the fact that the game is brilliant...

Warhammer 40K Kill Team Into The Dark Core Box Set | $210.00 $163.72 at Amazon
Save $46 - This was a pretty decent Black Friday deal on a new release. (It only came out in September.) Crucially, it was one of the few decent offers at Amazon.

Warhammer Quest: Cursed City | $250 $169.15 at Amazon
Save $80 - Even though the listing is telling fibs (the MSRP isn't $250, no matter what it says) this was still a good way to kick off the Black Friday Warhammer deals. We'd genuinely never seen the game new for less, so this was a great opportunity to grab it at its lowest price.

Risk: Warhammer 40,000 | $49.99 $34.76 at Amazon
Save $15 - Want to sneakily play Warhammer with your family and friends this Christmas? Try the 40K version of Risk out for size. Everyone can enjoy the classic family strategy game, and the fact that this edition has a grimdark future plastered over it is just a bonus; the core concept remains the same. It got a decent saving last year, so hopefully the same will be true of 2023.

Warcry: Hearts of Ghur | $195.50 $180 at Amazon
Save $15 - Here's another record-low price for the 2022 Black Friday Warhammer deals, at least by our reckoning. You were getting one of the most recent Warcry boxed sets for a whole bunch less than its original $230 MSRP, and because it doesn't seem to be available on Games Workshop's official store anymore, this offer was well worth considering.

Warhammer Fantasy Role Play Core Rules | $59.99 $45.74 at Amazon
Save $14 - Alright, so it's not a miniatures wargame. But it is classic Warhammer, with oodles of lore and fun for fans of the franchise. If you'd been hoping to try a tabletop RPG but weren't sure where to begin, this Black Friday Warhammer deal was the perfect place.

Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress | $206.50 $144.50 at Amazon
Save $62 - Blackstone Fortress is a standalone game set in a vast and ancient space station. And if the reviews are anything to go by, then this immersive game is a great entry point for Warhammer newcomers as well as seasoned players. With more than $60 off last year, it was a perfect buy during Black Friday 2022.

Warhammer 40,000 Commander Deck - Tyranid Swarm | £59.98 £40.35 at Amazon
Save £19.63 - OK, sure, it's not miniatures. But seeing as the Magic: The Gathering spin on Warhammer 40K is so good, this discount in the early Black Friday Warhammer deals was worth flagging.

Warhammer 40,000 Cadia Stands: Astra Militarum Army Set| £120.00 £95.99 at Magic Madhouse
Save £24 - Why not treat someone you love, or maybe just yourself, to a new Warhammer army set? Black Friday is a good time to do it, as shown here. This pack comes with 28 multipart plastic models, the Codex: Astra Militarium (a 154-page hardback book with a limited edition cover), 63 Datacards, and much more. 

Jucoci Miniatures Storage Case | £84.99 £71.99 at Amazon
Save £13 - Alongside all of the great deals on miniatures, there are also some good bargains on Warhammer accessories too every Black Friday, including this storage case. The shelves are adjustable as well so it can adapt to your display needs. Though, take note that this is a slight increase from Amazon's earlier, lower price – and it was a Prime exclusive discount.

Save £20 - This boxset is a great way to get started with Warhammer as it includes everything you need to start playing the game. For just under £85, what more could you need?
