February is an auspicious month for the Aeldari, with an upcoming codex and the largest range of brand new models they’ve ever seen. The Shining Spears and Dark Reapers Aspect Warriors arrive in complete plastic kits for the first time, and to celebrate, a fellow plastic disciple of Khaine is February’s Miniature of the Month.
In Warhammer stores everywhere from Saturday the 5th of February, these Dire Avengers* are tough and dependable warriors who seek mastery over the craftworlds’ iconic shuriken catapults, doggedly defending critical objectives in the face of overwhelming odds.
Speaking of miniatures, did you see this year’s Store Anniversary miniatures when we revealed them last month? You’ll be able to get an amazing Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and Kruleboy Gutrippa Boss at your local store anniversary this year, and – in honour of Haggok himself – this month’s coin features an Orruk Warclans icon.
If this is your sixth commemorative coin, head to your local Warhammer store for a special gift – a beautiful display album. It has slots for your six monthly coins, plus room for another six, so you can show off a whole year of hobby dedication.
The Miniature of the Month, commemorative coin, and display album are all available while stocks last, so get in soon. Got any questions about how you can get your hands on them? Your store manager has all the answers.
If this month marks the start of a big hobby project, or January’s T’au Empire releases drained your paint supplies, the Pick ‘N’ Mix Paint Set is a handy way to stock up on the Citadel Colour paints. Choose whichever ten paints you like and the most expensive one is absolutely free.
Need a few ideas for your next Paint Set? Why not pick up some Macragge Blue, Alaitoc Blue, Corax White, Corvus Black, Yriel Yellow, and Nuln Oil to get your Dire Avenger up to Battle Ready standard, and then complete it with a Parade Ready finish with Hoeth Blue, White Scar, Retributor Armour, and Stormhost Silver.
Newcomers can take their hobby further by enrolling in the Battle Honours program, a set of step-by-step challenges that takes them on a journey through collecting, building, painting, playing, and reading all about Warhammer. For example, the Build category challenges you to change up the options in one of Warhammer’s many multipart plastic kits, putting a personal spin on your latest model.
Not only are the tasks perfect for easing into the hobby at a comfortable pace, but they also come with fantastic rewards and prizes for hitting key milestones. To get you started, the friendly staff in the store will give you your first model for free and teach you how to paint it too. You can even also play your first game for free – Warhammer staff will be only too happy to help.
Step into your local Warhammer store to get started with Battle Honours or to find out more about this month’s miniature and coin. They’re spread all across the world, so find your closest one – and important information about their opening hours – with our Store Finder below.
