Exemplary Battles of the Age of Darkness: Volume I
This 112-page hardback is the next expansion for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. It features updates to Exemplary Battles from the previous edition of the game, with reworked missions and revised unit profiles, as well as an entirely new Exemplary Battle. You’ll also find army rules for a corrupted Emperor's Children Legiones Hereticus force, and rules for the incredible Fulgrim Transfigured miniature. It will be available to order direct from games-workshop.com, and you can get it as an ePub if you prefer to take digital versions with you when you play.
Legiones Astartes Battle Group
Dive straight into the Age of Darkness with this loaded boxed set which includes a whopping 32 plastic miniatures, representing a ready-made Battle Force which can be painted and played as either Loyalists or Traitors.
Deploy the newly updated MKIII power armoured Space Marines alongside a Land Raider Proteus and – for the first time ever in plastic – a heavily-armed Deredeo Dreadnought. You’ll also get a set of Legiones Astartes Special Weapon Upgrades, as well as almost 400 transfers featuring markings from the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists!
Legiones Astartes: MKIII Tactical Squad
Tactical squads are the mainstay of the Space Marine Legions, and the force by which the Great Crusade reconquered much of the galaxy. Reinforce your Legions with troops clad in the iconic MKIII ‘Iron’ power armour, which includes additional build options for vexilla, vox, and Sergeants – including plasma pistols and power fists. The box contains 20 miniatures, which can be fielded as a pair of 10-model Tactical Squads or a single 20-model Tactical Squad – they’re also fully compatible with existing MKVI plastic upgrade parts.
Legiones Astartes: Deredeo Dreadnought – Anvilus Configuration
Deployed in limited numbers to each of the Legions, the Deredeo is a specialist Dreadnought with unparalleled survivability that makes it highly sought-after by Traitors and Loyalists alike. Available for the first time in plastic, the Deredeo is a walking weapons platform which can be assembled with either the anti-infantry firepower of the Anvilus autocannon battery or an armour-rending hellfire plasma cannonade.
Sons of Horus: Armoury of the Sons of Horus
Open the armoury of the Sons of Horus and utilise their ceramite-breaching equipment against their former brothers in your games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. Designed in secret for the Warmaster’s treacherous campaign, these Forge World resin weapons upgrades are an excellent way to equip your commanders and officers with deadly and thematically appropriate wargear, such as Carsoran power weapons and banestrike bolters.
Warhammer Commemorative Series – Leagues of Votann: The Ancestors’ Wrath
Celebrate Warhammer Day in style with a commemorative Leagues of Votann miniature depicting a variant Einhyr Champion. This model comes with three head options – bare-headed, fully helmed, and a helmet with the visor raised.
This commemorative miniature is available to order until 8am GMT on Monday the 6th of November 2023 and everyone ordering within this window will be guaranteed to receive a copy. We will ship them out within 180 days of the ordering window closing.
Stormvault Skirmish Case
The new Stormvault Skirmish Case is the ideal way to carry a Kill Team squad, a Warcry warband, a Blood Bowl team, a Necromunda gang, a Warhammer Underworlds warband, or any other small but elite force of miniatures. The case is lined with smooth silicone bristles that close together with the lid and grip your miniatures securely in place, protecting them from damage. The bristles are precisely spaced to hold any type of miniature on a 25-40mm round base and up to a 75mm oval base.
The Dark Coil Collection (Limited Edition Boxed Set)
For the first time ever, Peter Fehervari’s catalogue of Warhammer 40,000 stories – each sharing deeper and darker connections as you read – have been collected in a stunning boxed set of hardback books. This beautifully presented boxed set contains three books, each with unique spine graphics which, when placed together, display a ‘spiral’ motif. This boxed set is limited to 1,000 signed and uniquely-numbered copies worldwide.
The Fall of Cadia
The Fall of Cadia is a touchstone moment of the Warhammer 40,000 timeline. This incredible battle led to the opening of the Great Rift and ushered in a grim new era in which even greater threats assailed the Imperium. Following its previous Mega Limited Edition release, this incredible novel is now arriving in hardback, eBook, and MP3 formats.
Angron: The Red Angel
David Guymer brings Angron back into the 41st Millennium with a furious roar as he calls his scattered Legion back to his side and embarks on an epic conquest. This incredible World Eaters novel is now coming as a paperback for the masses to enjoy.
Forges of Mars
Graham McNeill’s star-spanning collection of short stories takes you beyond the edge of the known galaxy as shocking secrets of the Adeptus Mechanicus are revealed. Skitarii, Space Marines of the Black Templars Chapter, and even the god-machines of the Titan Legions are cast into a battle for survival beyond known space, in a gripping saga exposing the inner workings of the Cult Mechanicus. Arriving in paperback and eBook formats.
Pariah Nexus: Episode 3
The action is heating up, as the beleaguered Imperial forces fight for survival against the Necron menace. Catch the third explosive instalment of this darkly beautiful animation when it lands on Wednesday. Plus, dive into the tension-filled battlefields of Paradyce with the first two episodes available to watch now!
