Warhammer Unveils New Skeleton Horsemen for the Old World

Warhammer has unveiled a new multipart plastic kit featuring 10 Skeleton Horsemen miniatures for Warhammer: The Old World, expanding the cavalry options available to the Tomb Kings armies of Khemri. Announced by Warhammer Community on October 12, 2026, the kit allows players to build either Skeleton Horsemen or Skeleton Horse Archers, providing two different battlefield roles for undead cavalry units. According to Warhammer Community, the miniatures support several configurations, including a single unit of 10 models or two separate units of five.

The kit also includes interchangeable heads and multiple weapon options, allowing players to customize their cavalry formations. Skeleton Horsemen can carry cavalry spears or swords alongside shields, while the alternative Skeleton Horse Archers configuration provides a ranged combat option. Each group of five miniatures includes enough components to assemble a complete command section with a champion, musician, and banner bearer.

The release adds mobile units to the Tomb Kings' existing combination of shielded infantry and archers. Warhammer Community describes the cavalry as skirmishers designed to maneuver around enemy flanks, targeting vulnerable support units and crews operating war engines while heavier troops contest the center of the battlefield.

The new cavalry is intended to complement the broader Khemrian army, with its speed providing a different tactical approach from the more heavily equipped units. Players can choose between the melee-focused Skeleton Horsemen and the ranged capabilities of Skeleton Horse Archers when organizing their forces. Warhammer Community said the new Skeleton Horsemen would arrive in action soon but did not provide a specific release date in the announcement. Players will need the rules contained in Warhammer: The Old World – Ravening Hordes to use the new miniatures in their games.
