It might feel like Christmas is still ages away, but due to time dilation caused by warp travel those two months can fly past without you even noticing! So put down your army lists and start writing your Christmas lists – and fill them with these incredible Warhammer-themed festive items.
It seems like only yesterday we were ringing in the new year with a shiny Death Guard codex. What a year it’s been – the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, a complete reinvention of Kill Team, and a bizarrely popular crab have been just some of the highlights, and now it’s nearly the most Warhammer-y time of the year.
This year, we’ve got some extra-special gifts coming to your local Warhammer store. You may have seen the Space Marine Chibi Advent Calendar already, which will be available online soon, but for those of a more red and bitey persuasion there’s a certain squishy fellow who’ll jump at the chance to fill your stocking.
He may look like he’s just been ransacking a box of decorations, but this Festive Squig Plush from KOYO is ready to light up your Christmas with all of his adorable, fluff-filled charm.* Measuring almost 20cm tall, he’s a perfect companion for your plush Nurgling and Archibald and will probably only chew up your other snazzy merch a little bit.
We’ve heard stuffing squigs into stockings is a good way to calm them down, so it’s a relief that two stockings will also be coming to Warhammer retail stores later this year.
Offer up your Christmas gifts to the Dark Gods with a devilishly red stocking emblazoned with the icons of the Chaos Gods, including a big eight-pointed star in the centre, or shield them from the Archenemy’s corrupting influence with the holy Imperium’s blessed iconography in blue. Each stocking can hold up to three litres of presents, which our local Khornate representative informs us equals “not enough skulls”.
Both the squig and the stockings will be available only from Warhammer stores starting from tomorrow, and – since it’s only October – they’re just the beginning of the fantastic Christmas range coming this year. Stay tuned to Warhammer-Community.com for more information, and sign up to our newsletter so you won’t miss any of the fantastic gifts that you’ll be able to get for your friends, family, or even yourself.
* Please remember that a squig is for life, not just for Christmas.
