Always fashionably late to the party, the Drukhari are gracing us with their presence in next week’s pre-orders. There’s a Death Korps of Krieg Combat Patrol also on its way, alongside a new Black Library tale about the Necrons.
Codex: Drukhari
As cruel as they are arrogant, the Drukhari terrorise the galaxy with merciless raids, seeking to inflict excruciating pain on their prey before disappearing back to the Dark City of Commorragh, an uncanny realm hidden deep within the webway.
Take command of these nightmarish raiders with the 136-page Codex: Drukhari, which contains army rules, five Detachments, and 23 datasheets. There’s background lore for the scheming factions of Commorragh, supported by art and photography of miniatures, plus rules for battling rival lords and trading the spoils of war in Crusade campaigns.
The most cunning and ambitious Archons can treat themselves to the collector’s edition – the perfect artefact to lord it over your rivals. It features a soft-touch cover with unique art, a ribbon bookmark, and dark blue edges. It may not be bound in human skin, but you’ll have the right to tell people it is…
Lady Malys
Renowned for the uncannily polite manner by which she commands the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue, Lady Malys is one of the most infamous Archons of the Dark City. She plots and schemes, always a step or three ahead of her rivals, taking into account every eventuality and leaving foes easy prey for her razor-sharp blades. With the ability to put up to three units into strategic reserves after deployment, and increase the cost of certain enemy stratagems by 1CP, her mere presence is a significant tactical boost. This plastic kit has a choice of two head options – one with a half-veil – and two different base topping ruins.
Battleforce: Realspace Raiders
Wreak havoc upon the galaxy with the Realspace Raiders battleforce, which is the first place to get hold of the other new Drukhari miniature: the Archon. This highly customisable kit contains two torso options, two collars, right arms holding either a blast pistol, splinter pistol, or soul trap, and left arms holding an agoniser, huskblade, or master-crafted power weapon, plus three head options.
They lead a vast raiding party consisting of five Scourges, five Hellions, five Incubi (including a Shrine token), 10 Kabalite Warriors, 10 Wyches, and a Venom to soar around the battlefield.
Combat Patrol: Drukhari
The Haemonculi Covens practice fleshcrafting, creating hideous chimeras from the prey they abduct during their raids. The Coven of Agonies is a Combat Patrol lead by Haemonculus Xatrophos Nuul, featuring a Cronos, a Talos, and 10 twisted Wracks.
Wracks
Apprentices to the Haemonculi and living test subjects, Wracks are misshapen abominations of stitching, sinew, and scars. They wield cruel and unusual weapons that range from butchering blades to arcane bioweapons, each finely tuned to inflict maximum agony on their foes. This box contains 10 Wracks, with a range of options including interchangeable arms, masks, and back pieces.
Drukhari Datasheet Cards and Dice
Managing your forces in battle while remembering precisely which Archon you’re trying to outfox at any given moment is a tricky challenge, but this set of 28 reference cards, covering Combat Patrol datasheet cards and all of the units found in Codex: Drukhari, is sure to help. A series of 16 dice, cast in pearlised blue with yellow pips and featuring the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue logo on the six face, let you pay deference to Lady Malys while making key rolls.
Combat Patrol: Death Korps of Krieg
Engage in violent, grinding warfare on smaller scale battlefields with Combat Patrol: Death Korps of Krieg. A high-ranking Commissar surrounded by a Command Squad leads a complement of Death Korps of Krieg infantry, a heavy weapons squad sporting three powerful guns and a Fire Coordinator, plus a lance of five Death Riders ready to charge headlong into enemy lines.
Tomb World
Khemet has guarded the tombs of her people for untold aeons, the shame of failure in the distant past little more than a nagging memory. As her dynasty begins to awaken, old memories are brought into sharp relief, and ambitions and treacheries follow shortly after. She is given a single chance to redeem herself and reclaim her standing, but the task is guaranteed to be monumental. Tomb World by Jonathan D Beer is available for pre-order next week in a gorgeous special edition befitting an Overlord, featuring a leather effect cover adorned with green and silver screen-printed art, plus lime green printed page edges and a silver bookmark with dark green details. It also contains an afterword by the author, and is only available while stocks last.
Regular hardback, eBook, and MP3 audiobook versions are also available to pre-order next week, so you have your pick of ways to read.
Morvenn Vahl: Spear of Faith
As the Abbess Sanctorum and a High Lord of Terra, Morvenn Vahl is one of the Emperor’s fiercest warriors. She is only mortal, however, and she cannot be all things to all people. When Kol Rakhul, the Death of Saints, comes to reap a toll of faithful from the cardinal world of Ophelia VII, Vahl defies the Senatorum and Imperialis to lead an army of Living Saints to victory. Morvenn Vahl: Spear of Faith by Jude Reid is available for pre-order in paperback next week.
Choose Your Enemies (French)
The Valhallan 597th are once again in the thick of it, battling a Chaos cult on an Imperial mining world. News arrives that the corruption may have spread to the forge world of Ironfound, a vital munitions provider for the rest of the sector. Ciaphas Cain heads out to save the day once again, as Choose Your Enemies by Sandy Mitchell comes to paperback and eBook for French language readers.
It’s a big week for Warhammer TV, as the second episode of new Warhammer Age of Sigmar animation Sigmar’s Toll lands alongside two shows.
On Citadel Colour Masterclass, Ed teaches you how to paint the aged and weathered armour of the Deathrattle Skeletons and the Nighthaunt battle against the Idoneth Deepkin in Battle Report, as the pelagic aelves have begun luring souls from Shyish to their domain with a sorcerous beacon called the Aetherflame. Nagash is rightly furious, but will the hordes of spectres be enough?
On Warhammer Community, we’ll be taking a look at the new Drukhari rules and delivering the Inductii rules for the new edition of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. There’s also a fairly weighty reveal on Monday, which is currently prepping for a speedy arrival in the hallowed halls of a battle barge high in orbit…
