The sons of Perturabo launch their campaign across the worlds of the Cadian Gate with a new Warhammer 40,000 expansion, along with a host of miniatures to either besiege or defend this war-torn region of space. Check out this week’s pre-orders.
Eye of Terror: Reign of Iron – War for the Cadian Gate
Cadia has fallen, and the Iron Warriors intend to take advantage. Eye of Terror: Reign of Iron – War for the Cadian Gate is a new expansion for Warhammer 40,000, packed with lore about the Adeptus Mechanicus’ attempts to hold back Chaos Space Marines, rules for playing large-scale Apocalypse battles, and new Detachments for Space Marines, Chaos Knights, Imperial Knights, Adeptus Mechanicus, and Chaos Space Marines.
There is also a collector’s edition, featuring soft-touch covers, silver foil details, and silver page edges on the lore and Apocalypse books. It’s only available while stocks last.
Kravek Morne
Leading the assault is Kravek Morne – the Architect of Ruin. Armed with his personal thunder hammer, Last Argument, he smashes his way through any defensive lines. He’s ideal for leading aggressive armies and ensuring that the will of Perturabo is enacted.
Mutilators
Kravek has brought plenty of reinforcements with him, including the brutal Mutilators. These hulking brutes have mutated into the ultimate shock troops, able to butcher everything within arm’s reach with clawed sweeps, rending strikes, and thunderous blows.
Defiler
The new Defiler joins in the fun with an unquenchable fury and thirst for bloodshed. Choose from heavy reaper autocannons, Hades lascannons, a heavy baleflamer, and a heavy missile launcher to add more ranged firepower to the chest-mounted Hades battle cannon or ectoplasma destructor. Alternatively, pick an electroscourge to add more close combat killing power on top of the shearing claws. In short, it’s ready to take on pretty much anything the 41st Millennium can throw at it.
The miniature is also packed with cosmetic options, including bespoke heads for the Iron Warriors, Word Bearers, World Eaters, Thousand Sons, Emperor’s Children, and Death Guard.
Iron Warriors Upgrades
Get your Chaos Space Marines ready to follow Kravek Morne into battle with the Iron Warriors Upgrades. The set features heads, a power fist, a thunder hammer, and shoulder pads to give your Legionaries and Havocs that sons of Perturabo flavour.
Combat Patrol: Chaos Space Marines – Iron Warriors
Easily start a new Iron Warriors force or add to your existing siege army with this Combat Patrol. A Warpsmith leads the force, accompanied by his Terminator bodyguard. 10 Legionaries claim crucial objectives while a squad of Havocs provide heavy fire support. The kit also comes with the Iron Warriors upgrades – combine them with some hazard stripes for the full effect.
Thulia Ghuld
Swooping in to defend the crucial forge world Agripinaa from Warsmith Morne is Thulia Ghuld. The Archmagos Terminus specialises in the holy technologies of destruction, such as her Jericho-class conversion resonator – use the titanic impact setting to obliterate enemy tanks or the shockwave setting to deal with hordes. She also carries the Rod of the War Forge – both a lethal melee weapon and her symbol of office.
Knight Destrier
The speed of the Knight Destrier opens up new tactical options for any Imperial Knights army. The kit comes with four main weapons – the rapid firing gatling cannon, the horde-slaying frag bombard, the brutal reaper chainsword, and the high-impact thundershock spear. Will you build yours as a ranged powerhouse, a close combat monster, or a flexible mix of the two?
Hastarii
The Hastarii are heavily armoured Skitarii adapted to carry destructive ranged weaponry. This kit builds five miniatures that can be assembled as Exterminators, who can blast through infantry with their eradication casters, or Fusiliers, armed with tank-busting neutron fusils.
Eye of Terror Battalion: Adeptus Mechanicus
The Adeptus Mechanicus are also sending in some even heavier reinforcements in the form of their new Eye of Terror Battalion, which features three mighty war machines. The Onager Dunecrawler is a walking tank with a variety of weapon options. The Skorpius Disintegrator is a main battle tank that can alternatively be built as a Skorpius Dunerider, sacrificing some firepower for transport capacity. Finally, the swift Ironstrider Ballistarius provides fast-moving heavy weaponry, and can alternatively be built as a Sydonian Dragoon.
Eye of Terror Battalion: Imperial Knights
Provide your new Knight with some friends from the Eye of Terror Battalion. The fast-moving Armiger suits will keep up with the Destrier and can be built as Helverins, which lay down volleys of suppressive fire, or Warglaives, who excel at close ranges. The towering Knight Valiant is armed with masses of devastating weaponry and can alternatively be built as a Knight Castellan (armed with a different array of ruinous weaponry).
Eye of Terror Battalion: Sons of Dorn
Who better to hold back the Iron Warriors than their age-old foes, the Imperial Fists, and their successor Chapter, the Black Templars? The Sons of Dorn Battalion is chock full, with two Dreadnoughts – a Ballistus and a Redemptor – and two Repulsor Executioner tanks. There’s also a Black Templars upgrade frame so that you can make it really clear to Kravek Morne who it was that stopped his rampage.
Iron Warriors Dice
Also available to pre-order are a set of Iron Warriors dice. They are cast in pearlised dark silver acrylic plastic with off-white ink markings and the Iron Warriors icon on the six face.
White Dwarf 523
April’s edition of White Dwarf celebrates the release of a new Knight with inspirational galleries of Imperial and Chaos Knights and a Knightly* mini-game. There’s also an in-depth look at the new Defiler kit and your favourite returning articles, including A Tale of Four Warlords, White Dwarf Bunker, and more.
Aestred Thurga: Pyre of Faith
The Reliquant at Arms has to return a sacred relic in Aestred Thurga: Pyre of Faith. When the forces of Chaos foil her plans, she seeks vengeance – and the followers of Nurgle will feel her fury in this novel, written by Danie Ware.
Paragon of Faith and Other Stories
Across the galaxy, the Battle Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas fight the mutant, the heretic, and the witch armed with just their faith (and the holy boltgun). Paragon of Faith and Other Stories is an anthology, which brings together two novellas and five short stories chronicling their epic deeds and valiant sacrifices.
Carnage Unending
Dive headfirst into the battlefields of the 41st Millennium with Carnage Unending, an anthology featuring stories from some of Black Library’s most beloved authors, including Dan Abnett, Chris Wraight, and Rachel Harrison. These 11 short stories feature characters such as Commissar Yarrick and factions including the Black Templars, Orks, and Space Wolves.
The Remnant Blade
Will a new conquest help a disgraced Night Lord regain all that he has lost? Find out in The Remnant Blade, now available to pre-order in French and German paperback editions. As always with the Heretic Astartes, he’ll have to watch his back, as the biggest threats could actually come from his own followers.
Aestred Thurga: Pyre of Faith, Carnage Unending, and The Remnant Blade (in both French and German) will be available as eBooks on the 18th of April. The audiobook of Aestred Thurga: Pyre of Faith will be available on the 18th of April, and the audiobook of the classic Malus Darkblade novel Bloodstorm will be available on the 11th of April, all through the new Black Library App.
