Lords of Hubris are warriors whose obsession with perfection has led them into the loving embrace of the Hedonites of Slaanesh.

Contemptor Dreadnought Torso Upgrades

SundayPreview Mar12 ContemptorUpgrades

Contemptors were the most advanced dreadnoughts fielded in the Great Crusade. They were fast, well armoured, and bristling with deadly weaponry. Each Legion deployed these terrifying war machines, customising its armour to match the heraldry the honoured warrior interred within wore in life. 

These are resin torsos designed to work with the new plastic Contemptor Dreadnought, using iconography of the White Scars, the Imperial Fists, the Iron Warriors, the Dark Angels, the Sons of Horus and the Emperor’s Children.

Warboss Gazrot Goresnappa is dead, and now the unconquerable fortress world of Aranua is in turmoil as six ork clans seek to fill the void. There’s a mysterious portal beneath a human fortress city that an orcish prophecy promises will turn the galaxy green – if they can all stop killing each other long enough to find it. Warboss is Mike Brooks’ latest exploration of ork kultur and will be available to pre-order in hardback, eBook and MP3.
