License to Gift

XmasLicensing Nov16 Header1c

You may have noticed that Christmas is coming – in fact, it’s less than six weeks away – so it’s high time to start thinking about gifts, whether for others or yourself! There’s a massive range of licensed products available that make perfect presents – from video games to clothing and much more. Let’s take a look at some of the top picks!

XmasLicensing Nov16 Opener40ntXmasLicensing Nov16 Header2lThere are countless Warhammer video games, with something for everyone. Whether you want to play a game of Blood Bowl, conquer the Old World, or delve into the underhive for gang warfare, you can do so digitally. This Christmas, there are three games we think are must-plays for all Warhammer fans.

Warhammer 40,000: Battle Sister is the first virtual reality game set in the 41st Millennium, and casts you – as you might have guessed from the name – as a Battle Sister of the Adepta Sororitas. Load your bolter, rev your chainsword, and prepare to battle the forces of Chaos. 

Coming this December, it’s playable on the new Oculus Quest 2 stand-alone VR headset, as well as the original Quest 1. It’s a perfect present for the wannabe holy warrior in your life.

If you’re looking for a more strategic take on battles in the 41st Millennium, Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus pits Tech-priests against Necrons on an awakening tomb world. Customise your servants of the Omnissiah with loads of weapons, upgrades, and skills, then lead the forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus to war in dozens of challenging missions. 

You can download it now for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch. The console editions include the Heretek DLC, which adds the option for heretical upgrades and additional weapons – and for a gift, you can also pick it up as a boxed version.

Warhammer: Chaosbane – Slayer Edition is a hack and slash adventure set in the world-that-was. Choose from several characters – including the new Witch Hunter – and battle the servants of Chaos in expansive dungeons, collecting loot and levelling up your skills as you face ever-harder foes. 

The Slayer Edition, which is the first hack and slash game available for the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, adds all the downloadable content that’s come out for Chaosbane, together with an expanded bestiary, new zones, and expanded hub areas. All this content (and the new character) are also available to download on the older consoles and PC. It’s available as a physical edition for the new consoles and digitally on PlayStation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox X|S, Xbox One, and Steam stores.

Hear us out here – clothing has a bad rap as a Christmas present, but we’re not talking socks or pants here – instead, there are amazing Christmas jumpers, faux leather jackets, and t-shirts with your choice of White Dwarf covers on them.

The Christmas jumpers come in three designs – Imperial, Chaos, and Necrons. The Imperial Tidings one comes in Ultramarines blue and gold, and is themed around Roboute Guilliman. The Chaos Reigns jumper is Khorne red and features a Christmas star… sort of. The Nefarious Necron jumper comes in an eerie green and features the Ankh of the Triarch and other Necrons imagery. You can order all three right now from Merchoid.

Merchoid is also selling two simply breathtaking faux leather jackets. The Through the Ashes Imperium and Chaos Undivided jackets each boast an appliqued symbol on the back, along with thematic detailing on the inside and out, two zip pockets, and a detachable hood.
