These New Aeldari Warlocks Will Help You Win the Mind War

We’ve already shown off the stunning new Aeldari Guardians and the fearsome Dark Reapers. Now it’s the Warlocks’ time in the sun as we unveil the future – and another gorgeous new plastic kit.

Warlocks are Aeldari seers who have previously walked the Path of the Warrior and so find it easier to develop psychic powers suited to battle. These versatile psykers can join your army as individual Characters or form a full conclave to assist your Farseers, bolster your warhost, and wreak havoc on the foe.

These Warlocks come as a pair and can each be assembled with or without helmets, just like the new Guardian kit – great news if you don’t want your warriors to end up with helmet hair.

You can build each Warlock with the choice of a shuriken pistol or an open hand, ready to unleash a mystic curse – or perhaps ask the craftworld’s barkeep to produce two drinks. The kit also contains one witchblade and one singing spear, allowing you to assemble a veritable Seer Council of distinct models.

With flowing robes, crested helms, and arcane amulets, it’s easy to see how the new miniatures have been inspired by both the existing Warlock and the great Jes Goodwin’s original sketches.

Obviously, these new seers are from a warmer craftworld, so there’s no need to bundle up with that dapper little fur shawl.

We’ll have another Aeldari reveal next week.

When Warhounds Won’t Cut It – It’s the All-new, All-smashing Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titan

Even in Adeptus Titanicus, Scout Titans are a bit of an oxymoron – at 17 metres tall, no amount of camouflage is going to keep them out of sight. Nevertheless, the humble Warhound Titan is nippy and (comparatively) agile, designed to harry even larger war machines with, for instance, intense barrages of superheated plasma aimed at vulnerable knee joints.

But where do you turn when you need something scouted, and then shot full in the face by even heavier ordnance?

Is that a Warhound? Is it a Reaver? No, it’s a Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titan, an all-new variation of the Warhound Scout Titan with a big old extra gun right above the cockpit. And it’s disturbingly good at ambushes.

The Dire Wolf is especially favoured by the Traitor Legio Audax,* but it can be fielded by any force, whether they’re loyal to the Warmaster or the Emperor. It introduces a bundle of new armaments, including two carapace weapon options – the armour-busting neutron laser and the old, reliable volcano cannon. On top of that, it sports twin Ardex defensor mega-bolters.

These diminutive bad boys pack a far heftier punch than their two-gunned cousins, though at Scale 6 they’re the same size. Their chassis have been modified to stabilise a heavier payload, with flatter feet and more armour plating. Likewise, the void shield generators have been moved to accommodate the big new guns.

And as you can see from the neutron laser, these reconstruction efforts have been worth it…

Both variations of the Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titan will be available from Forge World later in the year.

Panini and Games Workshop Announce a new Partnership

Panini UK Ltd today announced a new partnership with Games Workshop to create a range of Warhammer collectables, with 2022 launches for both stickers and trading cards. It’s time to fight for the future of humanity across a vicious, war-torn galaxy! Prepare for battle with Panini’s first new launch, Warhammer 40,000: Warriors of the Emperor Sticker Collection.

A mighty collection of 204 stickers and 50 Hero Cards, with a buildable box and a double-sided pull-out Space Marines Armoury poster which allows collectors to delve deeper into the 41st Millennium where, driven by war and assaulted by the foul forces of Chaos… Xenos, Daemon and Traitors emerge from the darkness to prey upon the Imperium. The armies of the Emperor rise up to grind these vile enemies to dust with their armoured boots. Inside the sticker album, collectors can honour the Ultramarines, the Dark Angels, the Space Wolves, the Blood Angels and the Sisters of Battle – the supreme and devoted warriors who live each day in endless warfare. All who know Warhammer know… in the grim darkness of the future, there is only war… and this is the sticker collection to bring that war to life!

Jess Tadmor of Panini UK says,

“We are excited to bring Warhammer stickers and trading cards to the marketplace. Warhammer and Panini have great synergy, as consumers actively engaged in the Warhammer setting and Panini’s core collectors are of a similar profile. We are privileged to be given the opportunity to work on such a popular IP with a dedicated fan base  and look forward to working with the team at Games Workshop to create a wide range of products that consumers will love.”

The sticker collection is launching in the UK in spring 2022, with the launch of the trading cards scheduled for autumn 2022 followed by roll-out in other key territories later in the year. The UK launch will be backed by a multi-faceted marketing campaign including heavy investment in digital, album sampling, and coverage across the Warhammer Community digital and social channels.  Panini UK have secured broad distribution across key grocers, convenience, toy, e-commerce and newstrade retailers with in store point of sale to support the launch, as well as a number of floor display units placed in select retailers.

Warhammer 40.000 ist unter anderem bei unseren Partnern Fantasywelt und Taschengelddieb erhältlich.
