The ground shakes under our feet this week as big bruisers from Grand Alliances Order, Chaos, and Destruction* pack out the Arena of Death to find out whose monsters are the largest and in-chargest. That’s only one of three new episodes releasing today – read on to see what’s new on Warhammer TV.
A three-way battle royale brings the biggest and baddest together for a deadly dance this week on Arena of Death. The forces of Chaos take no chances with three Bloodthirsters – of the Unfettered Fury, Insensate Rage, and Wrath of Khorne varieties – backed up by a Daemonsmith on Infernal Taurus making sure Khorne doesn’t have all the fun.
Grand Alliance Order takes a more cosmopolitan approach with a Drakesworn Templar, Spirit of Durthu, Treelord, Auric Runeson on Magmadroth, and an Alarith Spirit of the Mountain, while Destruction simply throws a Beast-smasher Mega-gargant, Warstomper Mega-Gargant, and Gatebreaker Mega-Gargant into the blender to see what happens. Very blunt and direct, as you might expect.
To make things even more interesting, the monsters are scattered around the arena at random, and each unit’s activation is completely randomised too! It should come as no surprise that the result is an extraordinarily bloody and brutal clash.
Keeping with the theme of outstandingly violent fights between a hot mess of different participants, Loremasters breaks through the blockade around Armageddon to give you the definitive history of this long-suffering planet. If you’ve been keeping up with our surveys of the planetary system and the core world’s regions, it’s a great way to fill in some gaps and get the intel before the Fourth War for Armageddon begins.
This week’s episode of Ultimate Paint-Off gets conceptual as four plucky contestants take on two tasks with an overriding theme – contrast. Not the paints, the idea of contrast. First, they have just half an hour to paint two Gryph-hounds that best show off contrasts between colours, tones, textures, and temperatures, before tackling an entire Flamespyre Phoenix in just three and a half hours.
Like all the best TV, this episode is just as informative as it is fun to watch, so you can pick up a tip or two while watching our four painters struggle against time (and each other).
Over at the Warhammer Vault, two more issues of White Dwarf magazine join the archive for your viewing pleasure. Issue 511 is a great throwback to the arrival of the Daemon Primarch Fulgrim, as his Emperor’s Children throw probably the only party of theirs you’d actually want to attend, while Issue 512 trades excess for contagion with the Death Guard and their considerably more corpulent coterie.

* Nagash isn’t there because it’s his arena, clearly. He’s probably watching from the VIP box.
