The stench… the guttural howls… the constant wet gnawing of rotten teeth on bone… welcome, esteemed personages, to the feast. The noble lords and ladies of the Summercourt are beginning their procession, as they carouse upon the eave of battle. Hark, the herald speaks.
It’s the Flesh-eater Courts.
Flesh-eater Courts Army Set
Sound the horns and raise the gates, the Flesh-eater Courts are marching to war! This army set is the first place a budding Abhorrant can begin to muster a glittering new host of noble knights and redoubtable peasants.
The set contains 25 completely new plastic miniatures: one mighty Abhorrant Gorewarden as general, his trusty Varghulf Courtier, three lightning-fast Morbheg Knights, and 20 obdurate Cryptguard.
You’ll also find an exclusive launch edition of the new 88-page Battletome: Flesh-eater Courts, plus 27 warscroll cards, 30 tokens, and 33 enhancement cards, all of which are only available in this set (though the battletome will be released separately in a different format). In short, it’s everything a general needs to set out on a Crimson Crusade in Ushoran’s name. This set is available while stocks last.
MKVI Assault Squad
It’s called the Age of Darkness for a reason – the skies were usually blotted out by soaring munitions, city-levelling explosions, and the smoky contrails of hordes of Legiones Astartes descending from the heavens on their Warhawk jump packs.
This is a box of 10 plastic Assault Marines for deployment in your Horus Heresy games. You get enough components to arm your squad with chainswords and either bolt pistols or combat shields, plus a range of accessories, and a Sergeant with extra weapons options and two heads. The kit is entirely compatible with all MKVI upgrade sets, including Legion-specific accessories.*
King of the Dead and Heralds (Clear Plastic)
The King of the Dead returns to the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game in spectral translucent blue plastic, flanked by two Heralds brandishing Banners of the Dead. This is a recast of the current models, taking on an even more ghostly form as they bring ruin to the forces of Mordor.**
Warriors of the Dead (Clear Plastic)
What good is a king without his army? This set contains 20 Warriors of the Dead cast in the same clear blue plastic, ready to attend their king and sweep across Pelennor Fields. These are also existing miniatures which have been recast for a ghostly effect.**
Both of these clear plastic kits will be available while stocks last.
White Dwarf 495
Your favourite hobby magazine returns for its December issue, featuring lashings of information on all the new Tyranids and the Fourth Tyrannic War. You’ll also find new special mission rules for Boarding Actions in the current edition of Warhammer 40,000, Warcry rules for taking your Free City fighters on a Dawnbringer Crusade, Kill Team rules for jungle warfare – complete with jungle cards – and much, much more.
Da Grotmas Gitz
You didn’t see this coming – and nor did da Red Gobbo. It’s the other festive miniature from Warhammer for 2023, featuring a black-clad rogue darting through the snow on one squig with an open mouth, scattering presents and snotlings in his wake. This model will be available for a strictly limited period in December, so snap yours up quick!
Brimstein Firegrass
Spruce up your bases with these vermillion grass tufts, which match the scorched battlefields of Aqshy as well as they do alien planets. In all, you get 155 tufts in four different sizes – enough for a whole army.*
Vaults of Terra Collection (special edition)
Chris Wraight’s thrilling trilogy about corruption at the very heart of Humanity’s home world is getting a luxuriant special edition. Limited to just 1,500 copies signed by the author, all three volumes are collected in a fancy slipcase with leather-effect covers, ribbon bookmarks, and an extra short story in each.
Witchbringer and Blood Pact (MP3)
Two more classic titles come to MP3 audiobook for the first time. In Steven B Fischer’s Witchbringer, former Cadian Captain Glavia Aerand’s newfound psychic talents press her into more hazardous service, while Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First and Only are back in action in Blood Pact by Dan Abnett. Additionally, the Damocles collection of short stories has been re-recorded.
