Games Workshop: Wochenvorschau

Kommende Woche dreht sich bei Games Workshop alles um Killteam und Age of Sigmar.

From the 41st Millennium to the Mortal Realms – next week brings some exciting new models and kits for your collection..

New Kill Team Expansions!

We meant it when we said that we’ll be giving Kill Team loads of support! Hot on the heels of the Start Set, Core Manual and other launch goodies (available for you to pre-order right now!) we’re bringing you a range of expansions for your game.

Firstly, kill teams themselves – next week, you’ll be able to pre-order Drop Force Imperator and The Writhing Shadow – Astra Militarum and Genestealer Kill Team Starter Sets full of models, terrain and unique Tactics and missions for you to get your teeth into. Packed with the ever-useful Munitorum Armoured Containers, these are a cracking way to expand your collection whether you’re diversifying an existing kill team or starting a brand new one.

Did someone say Munitorum Armoured Crates? For those of you that can’t get enough of these superb storage vessels, there’s a Killzone especially for you! Killzone: Sector Munitorum lets you take your battles to the docks, warehouses and ammo dumps of the 41st Millennium with six Armoured Containers and some Galvanic Servohaulers, plus a double-sided card gaming board as well as unique tactics, missions and an environment Card.

At the same price as a Start Collecting! Set, this box is worth it just for the terrain inside alone, costing almost half what you’d spend getting everything inside separately. Like all Killzones, this set can be combined with those from the Kill Team Starter Set and the Sector Mechanicus terrain to create bigger battlefields, allowing you to quickly build up a collection that you’ll be able to use for your games of Warhammer 40,000 as well as Kill Team.

There are also some Kill Team accessories on their way next week, with dice sets to match your chosen team and a tape measure to boot.

New Models for Warhammer Age of Sigmar

In the Mortal Realms, the armies of the Nighthaunt and Stormcast Eternals continue to grow with a brand new set of miniatures for both armies – including two of the most hotly anticipated kits of the entire release.

Aventis Firestrike, Grand Magister of Hammerhal is a massive set that lets you build both this new Hammers of Sigmar battle-mage as well as a Lord-Arcanum of your own making. This kit is packed with bits to make sure that, while both characters share the same basic structure, they’ll look distinct from one another on the tabletop, and there are components in the set that allow you to build a Lord-Arcanum on foot using your spares if you choose to build Aventis Firestrike. He’s even got a scenic base.

The Black Coach, meanwhile, is an incredible reimagining of a classic from Warhammer’s past. With the latest design technology, the team have finally been able to realise this spectral stagecoach in all its terrifying glory – and what an upgrade it is!

We’ll be taking a closer look at how the Black Coach was designed in an article on Warhammer Community next week, so stay tuned…

In addition to these big, centerpiece kits for your armies, you’ll be able to grab some basic infantry for your Nighthaunt and Stormcast Eternals as well – basic, in this case meaning “angry, immortal spirits of the dead whose very touch is death” and “storm-forged crusaders with the power to channel celestial lightning”.

The multi-part Sequitors kit allows you to customise your units with tempest blades as well as redemption caches – unique artefacts that deal mortal wounds to Chaos and Death units. In this 10-strong squad, you’ll find everything you need to build and customise a unit of Sequitors, with options for constructing them as two units of 5 or a single, larger unit. If you’re looking to bolster your forces from Soul Wars, this set is a great way to do it.

Finally, you’ll be able to grab the Chainrasps from Soul Wars separately in a new push fit set, ideal for increasing the sides of your hordes or just grabbing these models outside of the boxed sets.

Everything here will be available to pre-order next week – you can check out this week’s pre-orders in our roundup.
