Saturday Pre-orders – Chaos in the Old World and Civil War on Mars

The forces of Chaos are having what we at Warhammer Community call a ‘right moment’, with hordes of northern warriors streaming down through the World of Legend, even as insidious tendrils of corruption worm through the Mechanicum on Mars. 

Campaigns of The Age of Darkness: The Martian Civil War

The Mechanicum were no less embroiled in the Horus Heresy than the Legiones Astartes, as ambitious inventors and unscrupulous tech-magi embraced the freedom to experiment that Chaos offered and unleashed hellish contraptions on their former colleagues. The battle for the technological heart of the Imperium begins in Campaigns of The Age of Darkness: The Martian Civil War – a new campaign supplement charting the full length of the Red Planet’s insurrection.

Inside this 168-page hardback you’ll find new and in-depth background lore about the Schism of Mars, new missions, rules for embarking on an Onslaught campaign themed around the conflict, and additional units and Techno-heresy rules that highlight the profane machines renegade magi employed. 

This book is available now in hardback and ePub formats.

Archmagos Prime

The Archmagos Prime is the supreme commander of a Taghmata and blends wicked intelligence with a keen strategic mind, running through multiple battleplans in an instant. This miniature is armed with a corposant stave, a conversion beamer, and a volkite serpenta, giving them a vicious punch at range and up close.

Thallax Cohort

Thallax Cohorts blend the speed of their jetpacks with lethal lightning guns and a highly durable chassis. This unit of six Thallax contains options to equip two with phased plasma-fusils, photon thrusters, or multi-meltas, and you also get a Mechanicum Constructs transfer sheet with 558 decals.

Castellax Battle-automata Maniple 

Originally conceived to be the mainstay of the Martian legions, Castellax automata are monstrously powerful war engines equipped with a variety of deadly ranged and close combat weapons. This set of two Castellax can be assembled with shock chargers or power blade arrays for melee work, and mauler bolt cannons or a single darkfire cannon and multi-melta. It also includes a Mechanicum Constructs transfer sheet with 558 decals.

Thanatar Cavas Siege-automata

The Thanatar Cavas Siege-automata stands even taller than a Castellax and mounts an enormous hellex plasma mortar for demolishing defensive forces down to the rubble. It’s also equipped with shock chargers – in case the enemy get a little too close – and a twin-linked mauler bolt cannon. It comes with a Mechanicum Macro-constructs transfer sheet with 394 decals.

Tech-thralls Covenant

Getting on the wrong side of a magos is a great way to end up converted into a tech-thrall – a shambling cyborg drone with its free will shackled to the Machine Cult – and when war gets a little too close for comfort these hordes of expendable chaff are fitted with las-locks and ushered towards the front lines. This set of 20 Adsecularis Tech-thralls is a great way to bulk out your Taghmata and throw some bodies in front of your pristine automata.

Triaros Armoured Conveyor

The Triaros Armoured Conveyor is the vehicle of choice for delivering Mechanicum infantry across dangerous battlefields, and its impressive bulk and flare shield ensure they’ll get there safely. This unique kit comes with options for two hunter-killer missiles and a Mechanicum Macro-constructs transfer sheet with 394 decals.

Mechanicum Dice Set

Finish off your Martian contingent with a set of 20 dice cast in pearlescent red plastic with white pips and the Mechnicum logo on the six face. Included are 19 regular six-sided dice and one scatter dice for use in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.

Arcane Journal: Warriors of Chaos

The servants of the Ruinous Powers have come to reave across the World of Legend with a new 48-page supplement for Warhammer: The Old World, including new background lore, scenarios, and rules that expand on the army list found in Forces of Darkness.

Arcane Journal: Warriors of Chaos contains two new Armies of Infamy, rules for special characters Frydaal the Chainmaker and Galrauch, the Great Drake, new units to add to your armies, and new magic items for your Lords and Heroes. It’s available to pre-order now in paperback and ePub editions.

Warriors of Chaos Battalion

Start your conquest with the Warriors of Chaos Battalion, an ironclad horde of brutal berserkers built around a hardy block of 32 Chaos Warriors equipped with heavy armour, hand weapons, and shields. Joining them are 10 powerful Chaos Knights and two Chaos Chariots – which can be assembled as Gorebeast Chariots – plus a new Warriors of Chaos transfer sheet with 621 decals. All you need now is a Lord!

Warriors of Chaos Reference Card Pack

Keep all of your rules close at hand with a pack of 36 reference cards, giving you easy access to your magic items, spell lores, gifts of Chaos, and other handy rules. 

Warriors of Chaos Dice Set

Praise the Chaos Gods and twist your fate with a set of 20 black Warriors of Chaos dice featuring gold pips and the iconic eight-pointed star of Chaos on the six face. 

Chaos Warriors

No self-respecting Chaos horde leaves home without a sizeable contingent of Chaos Warriors – expert fighters armoured in heavy plate. This set contains enough miniatures to make either two units of 16 or a single large unit of 32 with full command elements, plus a new Warriors of Chaos transfer sheet with 621 decals.

Chaos Warriors Upgrades

Upgrade your Chaos Warriors with a set of much heavier weapons for tackling the toughest foes of the Old World. Choose from 10 great weapons and 10 halberds, both cast in metal.

Chaos Chosen 

Chaos Chosen are the cream of the crop and fight like men possessed – as some of them are. These elite champions are devastating killers to a man, and come in a set of five metal miniatures armed with great weapons.

Chaos Chosen Command 

Even the chosen warriors of the Dark Powers need their rage directed every now and then, a job best left to the experienced Chaos Chosen Command. This pack of five metal miniatures includes two regular Chosen, a drum-bearing Musician, an Icon Bearer, and a Champion with an unsettling mutated hand.

Warriors of Chaos Characters

Classic Lords and Heroes return from the Chaos Wastes to lead your ravagers to victory, starting with a Champion of Chaos, a Sorcerer of Chaos, and a Chaos Lord mounted on a Manticore, all in plastic. reRurning in metal are a Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount, a Sorcerer of Chaos on a Chaos Steed, and another Champion of Chaos.

Warriors of Chaos Monsters and War Machines

The Chaos Wastes are rife with monsters that are regularly unleashed in battle to add a spot of terror to the horde’s unstoppable charge. Dragon Ogres and a Chimera (both in plastic) are all excellent editions to your army, while classic Chaos Trolls, Chaos Ogres, and the Chaos Ogre Command all return in metal.

Then, in Forge World resin, Skin Wolves, the Dragon Ogre Shaggoth, and the Gigantic Spawn arrive, backed up by the daemonic war machine known as the Hellcannon.

Dwarfen Mountain Holds – Made to Order

The Warriors of Chaos aren’t the only ones with classic miniatures returning to action, as a band of Dwarfen champions come down from their mountain holds to beef up your throng on a Made to Order basis. First, a pack of five metal Dwarf Lords gives you multiple options for leaders and heroes – including one brandishing a handgun – while the Dwarf Queen formerly known as Helga Longplaits returns from the long-ago mists of the 1990s for the first time.

A pack of three Dwarf Runesmiths is the perfect pairing for your more combat-oriented Lords and Heroes, and a set of four metal Slayers of Legend can represent the most lethal of these red-maned death seekers. Finally, pick up a pack including a Thane, a Battle Standard bearer, and a Lord to complete your army command in one fell swoop.

These are available to order from 10am local time on Saturday the 31st of August until 8am BST on Monday the 9th of September – and as Made to Order Products they may take up to 180 days to ship.

The End and the Death: Volume I

The seismic end to the epic Horus Heresy series begins in The End and the Death: Volume I by Dan Abnett, starting a three-part finale that will see Horus slain, the Emperor interred in the Golden Throne, and history set on its right and proper course towards the 41st Millennium. This landmark novel is now available to pre-order in its paperback format.

Collection XIII (French Edition)

The series of French-language Horus Heresy compilations continues with Collection XIII, containing The Silent War – itself an anthology of 14 short stories by various authors – Angels of Caliban by Gav Thorpe, and Praetorian of Dorn by John French. This book is now available to pre-order in paperback and eBook formats.

Omnibus XV (German Edition)

Meanwhile, the German-language edition of Omnibus XV collects the Shattered Legions anthology – a collection of stories that follow the scattered remnants of the Drop Site Massacre – The Crimson King by Graham McNeil, and Tallarn by John French into one convenient place. This book is now available to pre-order in paperback and eBook formats.

The Imperial Palace Undone Map

Show your love of the Horus Heresy series with a beautiful A2 Map of the Imperial Palace, pictured during the closing stages of the Siege of Terra as its walls crumble and its defenders gasp for a last-minute reprieve. This map is printed on cotton, and comes wrapped in a faux leather map-wrap secured with a decorated cord, all packed in a regal presentation box decorated with gold foil details.
