If you've ever been to a major tournament event, you’ll know that there are often a clutch of fantastic new models released exclusively at these events – a neat little badge of honour for attendees. But in a curtailed tournament schedule it’s been very difficult to get hold of them.
So some of the characters intended for events in 2020 and 2021 are being made available for everyone to buy on a time-limited basis! Stormcast Eternal Dacian Anvil, a heroic Knight-Questor, and the fabulous Necron Overlord Hasmoteph the Resplendent will be available to purchase as Made to Order miniatures on games-workshop.com from Saturday 24th July for nine days only.
Let’s take a closer look at the models.
Armed with the standard-issue Questor warblade and his own celestial hammer, Knight-Questor Dacian Anvil is tasked with recovering long-lost relics of the God-King's faith. Those who would impede this holy task are bludgeoned or carved apart as Anvil recites battle psalms and oaths of vengeance.
Lord Hasmoteph the Resplendent, meanwhile, is equipped with a resurrection orb and a staff of light, and you can use him to represent a Lord or even a mighty Overlord within your Necron dynasty of choice. He also has what we hope you’ll agree is a distinctly dapper diadem.
There’s no pre-order period for these heroes, and the purchase window will slam shut at 6pm (BST) on Sunday 1st August. What’s more, as they’re being Made to Order, we won’t run out of stock, so everyone who wants one should get one. Just remember, as with all Made to Order models, it can take longer for them to arrive.
As for tournaments, there are three major US Open events running in August and October – and there are even a few tickets left for the Orlando Open, so if you manage to grab one you’ll also be able to pick up Hasmoteph the Resplendent (or the Chaos Aspiring Champion Holga Clovenhorn) before nearly anyone else!
