Saturday Pre-orders – Terror in the Shadows, Fire in the Gnarlwood, and Badgers on the Pitch

Expert teams of skilled operatives, masterful warriors, and gutsy players flood the worlds of Warhammer this week, with new expansions for Kill Team and Warcry on top of a never-before-seen Blood Bowl team.

KillTeam 600Wide copy LOGO

Kill Team: Nightmare

Preorders Apr06 KTNightmareBox

Hunt the deadliest prey through the darkest corners of Bheta-Decima with Kill Team: Nightmare. A raiding party of fearsome Mandrakes slip from the shadow realm of Aelindrach to test their skills against a Nemesis Claw kill team from the Night Lords, and alongside these two complete teams you get a rulebook packed with rules and new missions, datacards and tokens for both factions, and a huge Generatorium Hub terrain piece to fight over.

Warcry2 600Wide LOGO

Warcry: Pyre and Flood

Preorders Apr06 PyreFloodBox

The supremely skilled warriors of the Ydrilan Riverblades are delving into the Gnarlwood, and they’ll need to trust all of their quicksilver reflexes when a horde of deadly Pyregheists descends to burn their ambitions to ash. Pyre and Flood is the new expansion for Warcry, containing 18 new miniatures and a looming Idol of the Old Ones, alongside the 64-page Pyre and Flood warband tome and 62 cards to keep your rules and references handy.

Wildercorps Hunters

Preorders Apr06 Wildercorps

Track your quarry through the Gnarlwood with a team of specialised woodsmen from the Cities of Sigmar, known as the Wildercorps Hunters. This warband – first seen in the Warcry: Hunter and Hunted box – comprises seven capable fighters and their four loyal warhounds, with 20 cards providing all the rules and abilities you need to use them in games of Warcry. You can also use them in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Gorger Mawpack

Preorders Apr06 Gorgers

Savage the battlegrounds of Warcry with a ferocious Gorger Mawpack, including five hulking miniatures that dominate the field with huge amounts of wounds and high damage attacks. This set also includes 14 rule and reference cards, and they can be used in Ogor Mawtribes armies for Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Ravaged Lands: Ruined Spawning Pool

Preorders Apr06 Terrain2

The fallen Seraphon ship that lies at the heart of the Gnarlwood scattered mystical debris all over the ravenous forest, which soon intertwined it with roots and vines. This Ruined Spawning Pool set contains two such artefacts – an Idol of Motzlpota and a Starfire Pylon – that make great terrain pieces for games of Warcry and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and they even have special rules to spice up your Warcry games.

Ravaged Lands: Ruined Realmshaper

Preorders Apr06 Terrain1

Expand your game boards set in the dense jungles of Ghur with the Ruined Realmshaper terrain set, which includes a large Realmshaper Engine terrain piece surrounded by two Gnarloaks, two rope bridges, and five barricades. These obstacles are a great way of turning your battlefields into dense arboreal sprawls, and do double duty as awesome upgrades for any Warhammer Age of Sigmar tabletop.

BloodBowl 600Wide LOGO

Gnome Blood Bowl Team: The Glimdarrow Groundhogs

Preorders Apr06 GnomeTeam

The Gnomes are coming to Blood Bowl, and they’ve brought their favourite woodland creatures along for a rough ride. The Gnome Blood Bowl Team is surprisingly capable for its size, using vicious badgers and violent geese to augment their brawling powers and cause all kinds of trouble for taller teams who might think them easy pickings.

This team includes eight Gnome Linemen, two Woodland Foxes, two Gnome Illusionists, and two Gnome Beastmasters. It also comes with two double-sided coins, two turn and re-roll markers, and four balls – two of which are Gnomish Idols, while the others are discarded giant acorns.

Rodney Roachbait

Preorders Apr06 Rodney

You might not imagine that fishing skills translate to a prosperous career in Blood Bowl, but the Gnome Star Player known as Rodney Roachbait built a career from whipping balls from under opponents’ feet with his crudely built fishing rod. He’s a tricky sort – available to Halfling Thimble Cup teams – and it’ll take some canny coaching skills to get the most out of him. He’s cast in Forge World resin.

Gnome Treeman

Preorders Apr06 Treeman

Like many Stunty teams, Gnomes know the value of a massive brute to shore up their defensive lines, and luckily the forests they call home are full of Treemen only too willing to smash opposing players into the ground. This multipart plastic Gnome Treeman includes two head options and four interchangeable accessories to add some variety to your squad, and best of all the Gnome team can take two of them at a time!

Spike! Journal Issue 17

SundayPreview Mar31 Spike

The official Blood Bowl magazine returns. First and foremost, Spike! Journal Issue 17 is where you’ll find the rules for the Gnome Blood Bowl team and plenty of advice for coaching your own, along with three Star Players – including the deadliest squirrel you’ve ever seen – and loads of lore on famous teams of yore. 

SundayPreview Mar31 SpikeEpub

This issue also hosts rules for playing your own Gnome Garden Leagues, and taking your Gnomes into games of Dungeon Bowl. As usual, it’s available as both a softback magazine and a convenient digital ePub, so you can always have it on hand when the whistle calls.

Gnome Team Pitch and Dugouts

Preorders Apr06 GnomePitch

Spruce up your pitch with a thematic set of pitches and dugouts for the Gnome Blood Bowl team. This set includes one double-sided, fold-out Gnome pitch and a pair of double-sided dugouts that match either side of the main board.

Gnome Team Card Pack

Preorders Apr06 GnomeCards

Keeping your rules close is vital when the action is heavy and only a few plays stand between victory and defeat. That’s why you’ll want to keep the Gnome Team Card Pack by your side, packing 44 reference cards into a flip-top box – including 16 all-new Special Play cards to confound your rivals with acorn barrages and invisible rocks

Gnome Team Dice Set

Preorders Apr06 GnomeDice

Complete your next league superstars with a Gnome Team Dice Set, containing three block dice, two regular six-sided dice, and eight-sided scatter dice, and a 16-sided dice in royal blue with red ink pips.

WhiteDwarf 600Wide LOGO

White Dwarf Issue 499

Preorders Apr06 WD499

We’re getting close to the big 500, and Issue 499 of White Dwarf is powering towards this incredible milestone with loads of new rules, short stories, and hobby features to keep you busy. Necrons meddle with time in a new series of Boarding Actions missions that challenge you with battling in the past and present simultaneously, Bladeborn rules bring six Warhammer: Underworlds warbands screaming into Warcry, and part two of the White Dwarf Crusade campaign adds new relics for your characters to earn.
