Change is nigh in the Mortal Realms, as the Dawbringer Crusades ride out to take back what Sigmar lost during the Age of Chaos.
Dawnbringers Book I – Harbingers
Harbingers is the first chapter of the new Dawnbringers series, the prologue of an epic tale that tells of the Twin-Tailed Crusade as it marches out from Hammerhal. Beyond the walls of this great city, champions touched by destiny rally forces to bring down the intruders – or aid Sigmar’s expedition.
Book I commences the narrative with sections detailing the genesis of the Twin-Tailed Crusade, and the four Harbingers who herald just some of the challenges it will face. It contains a new Path to Glory battlepack centred around recruiting Harbingers and establishing communication outposts, as well as rules for the four new Harbinger heroes and each of the Regiments of Renown that fight alongside them.
Dawnbringers Book I – Harbingers (Limited Edition)
Celebrate the Twin-Tailed Crusade with a limited edition that features a soft-touch cover, gold foil blocking for the text, and gilt page edges. Each limited edition is numbered internally, and they are limited to just 500 copies, so you’ll want to act fast if you want to get yours.
General’s Handbook – Pitched Battles 2023-24
Matched play in Warhammer Age of Sigmar is getting an update with the latest instalment of the General’s Handbook. This book, which is designed to last for a full year of matched play, contains a new battlepack focusing on the primal magic infusing the wild tundras of Andtor. Those with a suitable grasp of magic can take advantage of this wellspring of power, but they must beware wizard-hunters wielding powerful nullstone enhancements. The battlepack is filled with thematic new rules, including bespoke core battalions, grand strategies, battle tactics, and 12 new battleplans.
Dawnbringers: Fyreslayers – Fjori’s Flamebearers
Fjori’s Flamebearers are a cohort of Fyreslayers led by the eponymous Fjori, a Grimhold Exile who fights for the honour of his lost kin. These mighty individuals are as inspiring as they are tragic, survivors from fallen magmaholds. He is accompanied by 10 Vulkite Berzerkers, as well as five Auric Hearthguard and five Hearthguard Berzerkers – who can be built as 10 of either, if you don’t want to run the Regiment of Renown in your Order armies.
Dawnbringers: Gloomspite Gitz – Braggit’s Bottle-snatchaz
Grots may be weak on their own, but together they form a mighty horde who will stop at nothing to fulfil their deranged desires. The Rabble-Rowza Braggit summons squigs and grots alike to his cause with the help of his booming voice and enchanted squig skull. He leads the collective of crazed greenskins called the Gobbapalooza, a Squig Herd of 10 famished Cave Squigs and the two unfortunate Squig Herders who prod them into battle, plus 10 Squig Hoppers – who can be built as Boingrot Bounderz, if you don’t want to run the Regiment of Renown in your Destruction armies.
Dawnbringers: Flesh-eater Courts – Jerrion’s Delegation
The Marrowscroll Herald Jerrion acts as an envoy for the vampiric powers that rule the Flesh-eater Courts, a horrifying carrion creature of wizened flesh and bloodied bone who appears as a noble envoy to those intoxicated by his cannibal madness. He leads 20 frenzied Crypt Ghouls, plus three Crypt Flayers and three Crypt Horrors – which can be built as six of either if you don’t want to run the Regiment of Renown in your Death armies.
Dawnbringers: Maggotkin of Nurgle – Phlugoth’s Shudderhood
Unlike the rest of Nurgle’s devotees, Harbingers of Decay have no sense of humour whatsoever, and share their mirthless misery with foes and followers alike. Unfortunately for their foes, the grim demeanour of these sickening soothsayers is only matched by their rotten efficacy in battle. Phlugoth leads five Putrid Blightkings and two Pusgoyle Blightlords – one of which can instead be built as a Lord of Afflictions, if you don’t want to run the Regiment of Renown in your Chaos armies.
Gutter Bowl: The Game of Street-Level Fantasy Football Mayhem
Leave the glitz of the stadium and take your game to the streets and sewers of the Old World in Gutter Bowl, the anarchic game of amateur Blood Bowl action. This is not the realm of professional sportsmen and Cabalvision glamour – it’s played in the gutters, where players smash through market stalls, balls bounce off sewage pipes, and aspiring legends vie for the attention of the leagues. Rules? What rules?
Gutter Bowl is compatible with any Blood Bowl team you have handy, making it a great way to get extra mileage out of your old stalwarts or start a brand new squad. The expansion contains the Gutter Bowl rulebook, a double-sided game board with streets on one side and sewers on the other, and two matching dugouts.
Old World Alliance Blood Bowl Team: The Middenheim Maulers
Combine the best of the Human, Dwarf, and Halfling worlds in the Old World Alliance Blood Bowl Team. This pack of 15 multi-option plastic players builds a diverse and capable team with hardy Blockers, dependable Throwers, and whatever the Halflings are good at, giving coaches a flexible new approach to team building that can cover many of its own weaknesses.
Old World Alliance Team Card Pack
Keep track of your players with this pack of Team Cards, containing 44 reference cards specifically for the Old World Alliance team. Alongside rules reminders and positional cards to fill in for your own players, this deck also includes 16 unique Special Play cards designed specifically for the Old World Alliance.
Underworld Denizens Blood Bowl Team: The Underworld Creepers
Sneak your way up the pitch and engage in some downright dirty trickery with the Underworld Denizens Blood Bowl team, combining the best of the Goblin and Skaven teams into one all-star package. This pack of 12 downright dastardly plastic miniatures contains some of the stealthiest players ever seen on the gridiron, such as the lightning-quick Gutter Runner – perfect for scoring a sudden touchdown while your Goblin Linemen keep your opponent busy.
Underworld Denizens Team Card Pack
The Underworld Denizens also get their own pack of Team Cards, with rules references and Special Play cards designed to keep your head out of the rulebook and mind on the game.
Space Marine: The Board Game
Lieutenant Titus returns later this year to shred Tyranids in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. He’s getting his very own miniature, which will first be available in Space Marine: The Board Game, which will be exclusively available from the Target webstore from the 1st of July.
The box contains Lieutenant Titus, 20 Termagants, two Ripper Swarms, and everything you need to play the game – including a 40-page story and game rules handbook, a double-sided game board, dice, a ruler, and a sheet of tokens.
Children of Teclis
Teclis defeated Nagash in a magical duel that will go down in history, and the Great Necromancer’s tomb is now guarded by his children, the Lumineth Realm-lords. Gods are never truly dead, however, and Loreseeker Elarin the Illuminated is searching for knowledge to prevent Nagash’s eventual resurrection.
Meanwhile the Idoneth Deepkin, Teclis’ abandoned offspring, seek to use the same power to restore their withered souls – no matter the cost. Evan Dicken’s Children of Teclis has these close cousins battle each other at great cost, and is available to pre-order next week in hardback, eBook, and audiobook format.
Grombrindal: Chronicles of the Wanderer
Tales of an aged traveller who fights, crafts, and shares stories echo across the stone halls, scorching magmaholds, and bustling skyborne cities of the duardin. This anthology by David Guymer collects seven tales of the legendary Grombrindal in one place. It’s available to pre-order next week in paperback format.
On Warhammer+ this week, look forward to the last in a series of four Combat Patrol episodes of Battle Report, as the supersonic Aeldari of Saim-Hann do battle with their spikier Drukhari cousins over a cache of ancient relics.
Over on Warhammer Community the articles will continue to flow, bringing news of an online preview, a balance dataslate for Kill Team, more details of Dawnbringers in Age of Sigmar, a new Black Library reveal, and plenty more besides.
