Saturday Pre-orders – It’s a magic showdown in the Mortal Realms

Two realms of magical maestros butt heads this week as the Disciples of Tzeentch and Lumineth Realm-lords tussle for the top spot, amidst classic Space Marine Made to Order releases and new Black Library novels.

Battletome: Disciples of Tzeentch

The mystical Disciples of Tzeentch have struck out from their chaotic domain with a brand new battletome packed with artwork, background lore, miniatures photography, and all the rules you'll need to play the faction in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Along with the usual battle traits and warscrolls, Battletome: Disciples of Tzeentch contains new Regiments and Armies of Renown, Path to Glory and Anvil of Apotheosis rules, and a new Spearhead.*

Battletome: Disciples of Tzeentch (Gamer’s Edition)

If you’re an avid player of Warhammer Age of Sigmar and fancy having all of your rules in a handy pocket-size format at the tableside, the Gamer’s Edition of Battletome: Disciples of Tzeentch has you covered. This A5 edition has all of the same content as the full-sized book, and comes with a full set of warscroll cards to help organise your units in the heat of battle. 

The Gamer’s Edition battletome is available while stocks last.*

Fatemaster

Enacting the complex, realm-spanning plans of Tzeentch is an unenviable job, but the brilliant scholar-sorcerers known as Fatemasters are up to the challenge. A potent mix of sorcery and charisma allows them to order the rambunctious forces of Chaos around with a semblance of strategy, and when honeyed words don’t suffice, a blast of magic is never far from their fingertips.*

Magister on Disc of Tzeentch

Magisters of Tzeentch are a step above the passingly magical rabble that vie for prominence at the Great Conspirator’s feet – and they are a useful asset in battle, where their Discs of Tzeentch allow them to zoom around firing magical blasts at foes. This dynamic miniature is a great way to add some extra sorcerous oomph to your army, and a wonderful leader for the many flying units in the faction’s roster.*

Argent Shards

Spread the corruptive influence of Tzeentch with a pair of monolithic Argent Shards that float around your battlefield empowering nearby mages. Any friendly sorcerers who cast spells from within a shard’s shadow find themselves surging with magical force and their spells, while increasingly unstable, are vastly more powerful than usual.*

Spearhead: Tzaangor Warflock

Bring epic magical power into the small-scale battlefields of Spearhead with the Tzaangor Warflock – a fun, thematic force split between fast, high damage units on flying Discs and reliable infantry on foot. This Spearhead box is made up of one Tzaangor Shaman on a Disc of Tzeentch, three Tzaangor Skyfires, three Tzaangor Enlightened, and 10 Tzaangors on foot, offering a versatile spread of units that can compete in all sorts of different ways.*

Battleforce: Warpflame Cavalcade

To go along with the launch of Battletome: Disciples of Tzeentch, you can pick up a stacked battleforce box filled with daemonic fury, perfect for starting a new army or expanding your existing force. The Warpflame Cavalcade includes:

  • Kairos Fateweaver

  • Three Screamers of Tzeentch 

  • Three Flamers of Tzeentch 

  • One Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch 

  • One Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot 

  • 10 Brimstone Horrors 

  • 10 Blue Horrors 

  • 10 Pink Horrors

Kairos can instead be assembled as a regular Lord of Change, while the Exalted Flamer and Herald of Tzeentch can be built as a Burning Chariot and Changecaster if desired.* This product is available while stocks last.

Regiments of Renown: Seekers of Silver

The quest for knowledge takes many Tzeentchian mages far and wide, and they can often be found plying their magical trade among other Grand Alliance Chaos armies. The Seekers of Silver is a compact Regiment of Renown that can add much-needed flying support to your terrestrial force, made up of a Gaunt Summoner, a Magister on Disc of Tzeentch, and three Screamers – all of which can be used as regular units if you’re already playing as the Disciples of Tzeentch.** This product is available while stocks last.

Disciples of Tzeentch Warscroll Cards and Dice

Finish off your collection with a set of useful warscroll cards that cut down on time spent leafing through your battletome for unit rules, containing all 29 warscrolls found in the book and 13 extra cards for Spearhead games. You can also match your dedication to Tzeentch with a set of 16 blue and pink swirled dice with yellow pips and the faction icon on the six face.* These products are available while stocks last.

Battletome: Lumineth Realm-lords

Uphold the ordered magical might of Hysh with the new Battletome: Lumineth Realm-lords, packing loads of background lore, art, and miniatures photography into one convenient place alongside all the army rules and warscrolls you need to use them in battle. It also includes new Path to Glory and Anvil of Apotheosis rules for taking your Lumineth army on a narrative campaign, as well as rules for the new Hurakan Vanguard Spearhead box. 

Battletome: Lumineth Realm-lords (Gamer’s Edition)

You can also pick up a special, smaller size Gamer’s Edition of the battletome that’s great for travelling Warhammer hobbyists and anyone who wants to leave their precious battletome at home. It includes all of the same content as the full-size battletome, and also comes with a set of reference cards so you won’t have to look away from the action.* This product is available while stocks last.

Vanari Lord Regent

The battlefield commanders known as Vanari Lord Regents are as much superlative strategists as they are war leaders and expert duelists, earning them the top spot when commanding the armies of the Lumineth Realm-lords. This new miniature depicts the Lord Regent on foot with a variety of build options, such as two distinct poses that show him with a sword and shield or with his helmet under his arm.*

Spearhead: Hurakan Vanguard

Use the wind itself to buffet and batter your foes with the Hurakan Vanguard Spearhead, a swift and deadly force centred around a Hurakan Spirit of the Wind and its bodyguard of Hurakan Windchargers. On top of this fast and furious force, you also get 10 Auralan Wardens and a Hurakan Windmage, so you can mix it up with a lethal defensive spear wall and some powerful magic launched from the clouds.*

Battleforce: Iliathan Warhost

It’s not only the Disciples of Tzeentch who get a battleforce box – the Iliathan Warhost crams a diverse and powerful infantry force into a single box perfect for new Lumineth fans. Amidst this sea of pristine uniforms and deadly weapons, you get:

  • Ellania and Ellathor, Eclipsian Warsages

  • One Vanari Starshard Ballista 

  • Five Vanari Bladelords 

  • 10 Ydrilan Riverblades 

  • 10 Vanari Auralan Sentinels 

  • 10 Vanari Auralan Wardens

This set is an excellent core for a wider army and can be expanded in almost any direction, making it equally good for new and veteran players.* This product is available while stocks last.

Regiments of Renown: Sigil Convocation

Take the awesome artistic power of the Scinari Calligrave to other factions of Grand Alliance Order with the Sigil Convocation, a Regiment of Renown focusing on a single hero and the endless spells they weave. This set includes the Scinari Calligrave and three spells – the Sanctum of Amyntok, Hyshian Twinstones, and Rune of Petrification – which together offer both offensive and defensive utility, as well as the ability to cancel out enemy spells.* This product is available while stocks last.

Lumineth Realm-lords Warscroll Cards and Dice

Keep your unit rules handy with a set of 41 reference cards, including every warscroll featured in Battletome: Lumineth Realm-lords along with rules from their new Spearhead. Then, keep your entire playspace nice and orderly with a set of 16 pristine ivory-coloured dice that match the vibes of the Lumineth perfectly, with gold pips and the faction icon – known as the Hysh-Mhensa – on the six face.* Both of these products are available while stocks last.

A new stack of classic Warhammer 40,000 miniatures is returning for a short time on a made-to-order basis, so you can get your hands on some iconic kits and complete your Space Marine collections. As with all Made to Order releases, these miniatures are available to order for one week only – from today to Monday 16th February at 8am GMT – and may take up to 180 days to arrive.

Made to Order: Classic Space Marine Captains

Lead your strike force to victory with a band of four Space Marine Captains – one each from the Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, and Space Wolves. Use these metal heroes in your armies as Captains and other characters, or line them up on your display shelf for a quality vintage vibe.

Made to Order: Classic Terminator Heroes

Three classic heroes clad in Terminator armour jump into the fray, ready to lead your elites into battle from the front lines. In this Classic Terminator Heroes set, you get a Captain, Librarian, and Chaplain, all wearing ornate Terminator suits and cast in metal and resin.

Made to Order: Classic Heroes of the Ultramarines

Stand tall for Macragge with a set of Classic Heroes of the Ultramarines, showcasing some of the most important names in their recent history. You’ll get Marneus Calgar, Chaplain Cassius, Sergeant Telion, Chief Librarian Tigurius, and Cato Sicarius – a prim and proper rogues’ gallery if ever we’ve seen one – cast in a mix of metal and plastic where appropriate.

Made to Order: Armour Through the Ages

Relive the storied progression of Space Marine armour with the Armour Through the Ages set, containing one resin miniature each from the first five marks of power armour. It’s an essential collector’s piece for Space Marine fans, and a great display to show off the long history of the Adeptus Astartes.***

White Dwarf Issue 521

Join the White Dwarf team as they celebrate their favourite Warhammer skirmish games in an action-packed issue visiting the worlds of Necromunda, Kill Team, Blood Bowl, and more. Issue 521 kicks off with new rules for Kill Team that add randomly generated threats to darkened rooms and strange artefacts creating hazards around objectives, before taking some time out with the villainous Night Lords to learn painting steps for their unique wargear.

Four aelven heroes begin an expedition into the Jade Abbey with new rules for Warhammer Quest: Darkwater, adding the Vanari Lord Regent, Scinari Enlightener, Scinari Loreseeker, and Scinari Cathallar to the roster of playable characters, while the Space Marine Operations minigame receives new missions, enemies, and options for your squad.*

Aestred Thurga: Pyre of Faith (Limited Edition)

Whilst returning the legendary Sword of Saarim to its rightful place upon the necropolis world of Katerah, Aestred Thurga is ambushed by a cult of the Plague God that steals the blade for themselves. Horrified at her defeat, she plunges herself and her Adepta Sororitas companions into a brutal battle against the forces of Chaos that overwhelm the planet from within, in order to reclaim both the relic and her honour.

But when the billions of heroes laid to rest on Katerah begin to rise from their graves, Aestred must choose whether it is more important to defend the Imperium’s people or protect its history, and is confronted with an awful truth: sometimes, a Sister can fail her mission.

The Reliquant at Arms begins her most important mission yet in Aestred Thurga: Pyre of Faith by Danie Ware, now available in an amazing Limited Edition release. This collector’s piece is signed by the author and is wrapped in a soft-touch cover with embossing on the front and gold foil on the spine and back, with printed page edges and a black ribbon bookmark to complete the package. It will be available strictly while stocks last.*

First Marshal

When the sudden slaughter of a Freeguild marshal and his entire army casts a shadow over Hammerhal, Tahlia Vedra must leave her beloved Aqshy behind and step through the portal to Hammerhal Ghyra, where sinister plots are being forged by the Helsmiths of Hashut.

The spiteful Zharrdron aren’t the only problems she has to contend with, as the verdant side of Hammerhal is full of unfamiliar faces looking to take advantage of the First Marshal’s arrival, and Tahlia is all but a stranger in her own city. Uniting her people will be a battle in itself, and she doesn’t have the luxury of time – for the Helsmiths wield a power that will spell doom for Hammerhal and all who reside within it.

First Marshal by Evan Dicken is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Lioness of the Parch, now available to pre-order in hardback, eBook, and MP3 audiobook editions.*

The Witch Hunter’s Handbook

The Witch Hunter’s Handbook by Darius Hinks sets out the requirements governing those Witch Hunters sworn to do Sigmar’s work in the Old World. The Six Holy Principles make up the original founding tenets of The Ancient Initiatic and Holy Order of the Templars of Sigmar – as recorded in Hieronymus Black’s Rules and Statutes.

Every member of the Holy Order is presented with a copy of this 96-page tome to remind them of these Principles and the duties required of them, and now you can own a perfect(ish) replica. This classic background book returns to the shelves with a fetching new cover, so all those fans of the Old World who didn’t pick up a copy previously can now get out there and hunt some witches for Sigmar.*
