Even the Old Ones themselves once feared the C’tan Aza’gorod, the hungering Star God of death known to the Aeldari as Kaelis Ra – ‘the Destroyer of Light’.
And soon Necron players will be able to bring that same fear to their opponents by unleashing an all new Shard of the Nightbringer.
The new plastic C’tan Shard of the Nightbringer brings its classic miniature from 2002 bang up to date. Wielding a giant scythe, with its necrodermis cape billowing out behind it and attended by swarms of Scarabs, the new iteration is a perfect centerpiece for your immortal Necron host, and rivals the Shard of the Void Dragon in its dark majesty.
In aeons past, it was one of the most powerful of all the C’tan before the Necrons yoked it in vengeance for its part in the great betrayal of bio-transference. Even now, its Shards remain among the most fearsome foes on the battlefields of the 41st Millennium.
To mark the emergence of this new threat, there will be a deadly new datasheet to go alongside the new miniature.
It’s not just Warhammer 40,000 fans who can look forward to facing down this ancient Star God. The Nightbringer will also be appearing as a Non-Playable Operative in Kill Team – an awesome new development for the game and a fitting final boss for your brave band of warriors.
The Nightbringer will become the culmination of the story that begins with the new Kill Team: Tomb World boxed set, which will be up for preorder in just a few weeks’ time.
And tomorrow, we’ll be looking at two new Kill Teams, which will be arriving around the same time as the Nightbringer.
