It’s the spookiest time of the year, and what better way to celebrate Halloween than by looking at some of our favourite spine-chilling models from this year. Be warned, these aren’t for the faint-hearted!
As if the dark corners of the underhive aren’t scary enough by themselves, since the start of this year, they’ve also been haunted by the Eightfold Harvest Lord. Remember though, you don’t have to outrun him, you just need to outrun the other members of your gang...
Next up is the ultimate trick or treat artist, Fabius Bile. Sometimes he’ll give you a nice treat, such as turning your army into his so-called “new men”, but then he’ll probably trick you to fulfill his own ends. Also, coats made of flesh are definitely ‘in’ this season.
Nightmarish robots that reanimate when you think you’ve defeated them? Nope! Count us out. The shambling, unstoppable Necron Warriors will be haunting our dreams for years to come, especially after seeing them strip Astra Militarum troopers down to their constituent atoms in the Warhammer 40,000 animated trailer.
Scary characters aren’t restricted to the 41st Millennium though – check out these Khainite Shadowstalkers from Warcry. If you think the way they slip between the shadows in the Catacombs is frightening, then just pray to Sigmar you never run into them in the Souldrain Forest.
Finally, there’s the Necromantic Horror team for Blood Bowl. Made up of Zombies, Ghouls, Werewolves, Wraiths, and Flesh Golems, this is a team that will terrify your Tackle Zones, panic your passers, and scare your scrimmage. Lurching their way through the topsoil and onto a Blood Bowl pitch near you soon! Look forward to seeing these guys, alongside the release of the new season of Blood Bowl, this November.
As you can see 2020 has been a pretty spooky year for models, and 2021 is going to be just as good. We’ve already had a look at the terrifying Flayed Ones, and now we’re going to tease one more tantalising glimpse of the future...
