Warhammer The Old World adds Baby Dragons and Mercenary Ogres in Made to Order wave

Warhammer Community revealed a new Made to Order wave for Warhammer: The Old World, and the strongest hobby buys are the ones that give painters the most room to build a scene. The line’s rank-and-file, square-base format already leans into massed armies and old-school visual language, so this return of classic sculpts fits both the setting and the painting desk.

Baby Dragons are the cleanest win for anyone looking for a small project with big payoff. Each set includes five miniatures in different stages of hatching, including one clutch that has not yet started to emerge, which makes them ideal for objective markers, base accents, and tiny display vignettes tucked into larger regiments. The sharp teeth, claws, and shell textures invite contrast-heavy work, while the hatching stages give painters a ready-made narrative without needing heavy conversion.

Mercenary Ogres are the next most obvious paint project. The set includes three ogres with great weapons, three with hand weapons, and a Captain, and Warhammer Community pitches them as rougher, less civilized figures than standard Imperial Ogres. That makes them a strong fit for weathered armor, battered leather, and chipped metal, especially if you want a force that can slot into Dwarfen Mountain Holds or Empire of Man armies without looking too polished. Their bulk and weapon mix also give each model a different silhouette, which helps the unit read clearly on the table.

Orc Raiders and Baggage Train Carts round out the wave for painters who like clutter, trophies, and battlefield storytelling. The Orc Raiders kit includes a pair of characterful Boyz loaded down with loot, trophies, and a pig, the kind of details that reward bright green-skin skin tones and messy, improvised basing. The Baggage Train Carts pack goes even further into scene-setting, with two metal carts pulled by a plastic mule and horse, plus rules in the Warhammer: The Old World - Matched Play Guide. That makes them useful as mission markers, scenic objectives, or the centerpiece of a compact diorama base.

The Made to Order window opens on 4 July and runs for a week, with delivery able to take up to 180 days. That long lead time matters for collectors planning a project queue, especially when these Old World returns keep leaning into the same appeal as earlier waves, including classic metal miniatures such as Prince Ulther and his Dragon Company, first sculpted in 1985.
