Quail in fear, mortals, for the chosen champion of the Blood God has accepted his daemonic bargain and now descends on the Horus Heresy to reap a tally of Loyalist skulls. Angron Transfigured and Lotara Sarrin join the World Eaters roster, while the elite Skitarii fan out in search of precious relics.
Angron Transfigured
It was almost a year ago that we first showed off Angron Transfigured, and now the Daemon Primarch is finally going up for pre-order next week. Clearly we’re not as good at dragging him to the battlefield as Perturabo.*
This incredible centrepiece miniature depicts the Primarch of the World Eaters fully in the throes of Chaos corruption, as he was during the Siege of Terra. It comes mounted on a scenic display base and is fully fit for games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, with rules found in the Liber Hereticus book.
Angron Transfigured is a single pose resin miniature recommended for experienced hobbyists.
Lotara Sarrin, Mistress of the Conqueror
As the captain of Angron’s flagship, the Conqueror, Lotara Sarrin was one of the perishingly few unaugmented humans who held respect and influence within the World Eaters – not least for her formidable will and no-nonsense attitude. She is a powerful support asset on the battlefield able to call orbital strikes from her ship, and a beautifully detailed resin miniature that belongs in your World Eaters collection.
Skitarii Battle Group
In the age of the Horus Heresy, the Skitarii were the personal troops of the Mechanicum’s Fabricator General, dedicated to finding and retrieving technological relics from across the galaxy. Alas, when the Schism of Mars split the Mechanicum and created rival Fabricators General on both the Loyalist and Traitor sides, the Skitarii were likewise divided and found themselves fighting under the banners of both the Emperor and the Warmaster.
These heavily augmented and highly effective shock troops will soon be available for your own Horus Heresy armies with the Skitarii Battle Group, a collection of 18 brand new miniatures that can be run as a dedicated Skitarii army or allied into your existing force.
Inside this box you get 16 multi-part plastic Skitarii Battle-Pilgryms armed with voltlock arquebuses, which can be fielded as two units of eight or a single large unit, and a new plastic Vultarax Stratos-automata for airborne support. This force is led by a Battle-Pilgrym Marshal, who comes with three head options, a choice of voltlock handgun or archaeotech pistol for the left hand, and a choice of phase claw, corpusant stave, or auctorit sceptre for his right hand.
The set also includes one Mechanicum Macro Constructs transfer sheet containing 394 transfers.
Journal Tactica: Skitarii: The Steel Hand of Mars
Learn all about the Skitarii Conclaves and the legions of Battle-Pilgryms that march to the Fabricator General’s command in a new 48-page softback Journal Tactica, Skitarii: The Steel Hand of Mars. This supplement for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy contains full rules for using the new units found in the Skitarii Battle Group box along with multiple ways to include them in an army, plus extensive background lore about their operations and organisation at the time of the Horus Heresy.
The book also details new fast-paced Relic Hunt Missions that throw your armies into a smash-and-grab scramble for valuable artifacts, along with a Legendary Mission that pits the Skitarii Conclaves against a force of Imperial Fists trying to wrest technological secrets from the Vaults of Tharsis. This Journal Tactica will be available to pre-order in physical and digital ePub editions.
The Path of Cirith Ungol™: Shelob™ & Gollum™
Relive the chilling attack of the monstrous Shelob from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King™ with The Path of Cirith Ungol: Shelob & Gollum, a new set of three plastic miniatures for the Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game. Shelob is a terrifying creature able to paralyse enemies she doesn’t kill and wrap up unfortunate prey with sticky webs, while Gollum (or sometimes Sméagol) is his usual treacherous self who excels at sneaking around unseen.
This set also includes a webbed-up Frodo miniature that can be used as an objective marker in the Bravery of Master Samwise scenario found in the new Treachery of Gollum journal.
Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game Journal: The Treachery of Gollum™
Use your new Shelob and Gollum miniatures to tackle nine new Narrative Scenarios and a linked campaign system with the 48-page Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game Journal: The Treachery of Gollum supplement. This supplement is an excellent companion for your adventures in the caves above Cirith Ungol, including new game rules and a host of hobby guides for getting the most out of your miniatures – from painting Shelob and Gollum to creating terrain for terrifying webbed caverns, the Dead Marshes, and the dank sewers beneath Osgiliath.
Foot Knights of Dol Amroth™
The Swan Knights of Dol Amroth are among the finest warriors available to Gondor, known for their intense valour and peerless swordsmanship. This set of six Forge World resin miniatures contains a Captain of Dol Amroth, a Knight with the Banner upgrade, a Knight with the War Horn upgrade, and three Knights with shields and hand weapons (or, if you prefer, they can all be assembled as Knights with shields and hand weapons).
Each set includes three each of three shield designs that can be equipped to any miniature, as well four optional unhelmeted heads. Rules for these models can be found in the Armies of Middle-earth book.
Cirith Ungol™ Dice Set
Bring the dark and gloomy vibes of Cirith Ungol to your Evil army with a set of eight matching dice, cast in smoky black plastic with white pips and a spider-like icon on the six face to represent Shelob herself.
Made to Order: Warriors of Chaos Miniatures
Add classic kits to your Warriors of Chaos army with a new set of Made to Order miniatures, hailing from the wild north of the Old World. Crush your foes underfoot with the deadly charge of a Chaos Chariot, drawn by two armoured warhorses and cast in both metal and plastic.
The rest are comprised of a Chaos Lord on Chaos Steed kitted out in heavy armour with a hand weapon and shield, a set of three classic Chaos Sorcerers in beautifully characterful outfits, a Chaos Sorcerer with a Lore Familiar, and a set of five metal Chaos Warhounds. All of these Made to Order miniatures will be available to purchase on Saturday for a limited time, ending at 8am GMT on Monday 26th January.
As with all Made to Order products, these miniatures may take up to 180 days to dispatch.
Made to Order: The Hunter Strikes and The Steel Rook
Two miniatures previously available only at Warhammer events arrived on the shelves in your local Warhammer stores on Boxing Day, and now those not able to make it in person will be able to get their own copies from the online webstore. The Hunter Strikes and The Steel Rook will both be available to purchase on a Made to Order basis from next Saturday, until 8am GMT on Monday 26th January.
As with all Made to Order products, these miniatures may take up to 180 days to dispatch.
This week on Warhammer+, Victory Pointers sits down with Josh from the Warhammer Studio to discuss Primary and Secondary Missions in Warhammer 40,000 and how you can get the most out of your competitive games, while Loremasters catches up with the Indomitus Crusade to find out how the Lord Commander is getting on with his grand liberation of the embattled Imperium. Meanwhile, four Scrap Demon contestants dig into the bits box to create an entire squad of misfits led by a Rogue Trader, with an eclectic mix of weapons and wargear.
It’s set to be a big week here at Warhammer Community as the first big Preview event of the year kicks off with some awesome reveals for Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and Blood Bowl. Speaking of the Horus Heresy, we’re also looking into the new Skitarii that are making their way to the battlefield soon, with both lore and rules from the upcoming Journal Tactica.
