We’ve got a huge Sunday Preview this week, including the Solar Auxilia Battle Group and new miniatures for the Horus Heresy. Then there’s a massive second wave of releases for the Tomb Kings of Khemri and Kingdom of Bretonnia. Check it all out in the video below.
Solar Auxilia Battle Group
The Solar Auxilia supported the Legions Astartes during the Great Crusade, and when Horus began his insurrection, their forces were split amongst the 18 Legions, getting stuck into the thickest fighting on both sides.
Containing 28 brand-new miniatures, the Solar Auxilia Battle Group brings them to plastic for the first time. A five-man Line Command section consisting of an Auxilia Troop Master and four Auxilia Veterans with a variety of upgrade choices leads a complement of 20 Auxilia armed with las rifles. There’s also a Leman Russ Strike Tank, an Aethon Pattern Heavy Sentinel, and a Dracosan Armoured Transport.
Two Solar Auxilia Infantry transfer sheets and two Solar Auxilia Vehicle transfer sheets featuring over 150 transfers each are provided, while rules for the units can be found in Liber Imperium – The Forces of the Emperor Army Book.*
Solar Auxilia Dice
Roll in style when fielding your Solar Auxilia with this set of 20 dice, which include 19 regular six-sided dice featuring a pearlescent grey and black swirl pattern with the Solar Auxilia on the six face, and one scatter dice.
Stormseer Consul
The psykers of the White Scars learned from the ancient traditions of Chogoris, whose shamans were able to predict and control the weather. A synthesis of psychic power and ancient tradition produced the Stormseer Consuls, warriors wielding meteorological might to aid their allies and strike down their foes. This is an expert kit made from Forge World resin, and comes with two head options.
Dark Emissary Consul
Wielding a Staff of Dark Authority, the Dark Emissary Consul is a pair of watchful eyes for the Warmaster Horus, ensuring that allies of the Sons of Horus meet his exacting standards. The Dark Emissary has no compunction as a grim executioner to enforce his master’s will either. This is an expert kit made from Forge World resin.**
Apothecarion Detachment
Even the unyielding Legiones Astartes require medical aid on the battlefield, and Apothecaries are responsible for caring for the wounded and delivering final mercy to those beyond saving. Their duty also extends to recovering the gene-seed should an Astartes fall. These two are a single expert kit made from Forge World resin.**
Tomb King on Necrolith Bone Dragon
Necrolith Bone Dragons are ancient skeletal behemoths reanimated by powerful Liche Priests, to carry them into battle. They hew men apart with fossilised claws and turn them into withered corpses with their vile, desiccating breath.
This massive plastic miniature can be built with two different howdahs, one designed for a Mortarch of Nehekhara and the other for a Liche Priest of the Mortuary Cult. If you build this kit with a Liche Priest rider, you can also build a Tomb King on foot.
Nekaph, Emissary of Settra
Settra the Imperishable is a tyrant like no other, and his list of titles and conquests far exceeds that of any mortal man. His immortal Emissary Nekaph arrives before battle and shrieks all of his master’s titles, before joining his liege in battle to lay low his enemies with the Flail of Conquered Kings. This is an expert kit made from Forge World resin.
Tomb Kings of Khemri Returning Plastics
Swell the ranks of your reanimated armies and take over the Old World in plastic with these returning kits. The Skeleton Warriors box contains 36 miniatures which can either be built as Skeleton Warriors or Skeleton Archers, and includes command retinue options for standard bearers, champions, and musicians.
The Skeleton Horsemen box contains 16 miniatures which can be built as Skeleton Horsemen or Skeleton Horse Archers, plus relevant command units. Finally, the Skeleton Chariots box contains three boney vehicles with options including a champion, a standard bearer, and a musician.
Tomb Kings of Khemri Returning Metals
Three Tomb Kings units are returning in metal: the special character Prince Apophas, a whip-wielding Necrotect, and a Tomb King on Chariot, which combines a metal miniature with a plastic Chariot.
Tomb Kings of Khemri Resin Remasters
Further classics are returning in Forge World resin with remastered elements. The Tomb Scorpion and Screaming Skull Catapult have both been changed to make them easier to build, with clearer details sculpted onto the catapult. The Carrion also return as a set of three miniatures – two of which were previously available, with one new pose designed to match the originals.
Knights of the Realm on Foot
The Knights of the Realm are minor nobles sworn to protect the fiefdom of their duke. Some prefer to charge into combat on foot, wielding either two-handed halberds or hand weapons and shields. This box builds 20 Knights of the Realm on foot armed with either a halberd or the classic sword-and-shield combo, and enough parts to create two command groups if you prefer two blocks of 10 knights.
Lord with Great Weapon
A genuine hidden gem returns to The Old World – the unreleased Lord with Great Weapon and accompanying Helm Bearer. This is the holy grail of many a collector – if you’ll excuse the pun. Planned as a Games Day exclusive miniature, you can now buy this metal miniature 13 years later.
Knights of the Realm
Ride out to defend the Kingdom of Bretonnia with these reboxed plastic miniatures. The Knights of the Realm box builds either 12 Knights of the Realm or the impetuous Knights Errant, with enough pieces to create up to two command retinues.
Kingdom of Bretonnia Returning Metals
Plenty of Kingdom of Bretonnia metal kits are returning in metal. These include the Bretonnian Squires and Squires Command, and Questing Knights and their Command, brandishing two-handed swords.
Two Prophetesses of the Lady are also coming in metal, alongside the Green Knight, the ultimate paragon of virtue, sacred protector of Bretonnia, and one of the best miniatures of all time.
White Dwarf Issue 498
The greatest gaming magazine in the world is back with Combat Patrol rules for Vantarrion’s Voidsmen – a Rogue Trader and her crew – and for games of three and four players. For Kill Team, the Blades of Khaine rules are published, while in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, there are new rules for massive games in Gathering of Might, and Baron Veingulper in Warhammer Quest: Cursed City. And that’s just scratching the surface, with great content for many more game systems.**
The Hollow King (special edition)
A Soulblight vampire who accepted the curse as his people and kingdom fell to Chaos, Cado Ezechiar now roams the Realm of Death seeking retribution and salvation for the ones he failed. Aided by the bound spirits of those he lost, Cado follows a path of revenge, hunting the servants of Chaos to slake his need for blood while seeking the Sorcerer of Change who destroyed his kingdom. When his hunt leads him to the free city of Aventhis, Cado becomes caught up in the machinations of greater powers – beings who see the city and its people as dust in the eyes of ambitious gods.
The debut Cado Ezechiar novel gets the lavish special edition treatment, including four short stories and an afterword all by author John French. This exquisite package has a lovely embossed cover, a ribbon bookmark, and gold foil blocking – fit for a personage of Cado’s stature.
Classic Warhammer Art Prints
Nearly two dozen stone-cold classic pieces of Warhammer art from an earlier era are also going on sale next Saturday. These are iconic covers from Codexes and Warhammer Armies books, covering many of your favourite factions in the vivid colour palette that was the style at the time.
These prints are available in the UK, the USA, Australia, and Japan. The American versions come framed.
This week on Warhammer+ Citadel Colour Masterclass shows us how to paint diseased metals, while the Battle Report team tackle the forthcoming Dawnbringers Book V in a match between Callis, Toll, and their companions, and an Abhorrant Ghoul King…
And on Warhammer Community, we will have a closer look at the new Solar Auxilia miniatures, more Dawnbringers fiction, and a breakdown of Age of Sigmar competitive play.
