Posted on by Leave a comment

At Warhammer Fest 2023, Games Workshop revealed the next campaign series for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, Dawnbringers!

Dawnbringers Book I: Harbingers kicks off the series and supports all four Grand Alliances. It introduces the Twin-Tailed Crusade, an expedition that will depart across Aqshy and Ghyran. It follows both crusades and their fates with new background and rules for games, characters, and there’s a new Path to Glory battlepack with new quests, territory rules, veteran abilities, and six battleplans.

Dawnbringers Book I: Harbingers

Harbingers takes its name from the four heralds of provenance who rise to prominence in the early days of the Twin-Tailed Crusade, each leading a warband of devoted followers.

Phlugoth the Miser – Harbinger of Decay diving Nurgle’s will as pestilent prophets. They lead Rotbringer cohorts known as Shudderhoods bringing the Plague Lord’s name across the land.

Sir Jerrion – Marrowscroll Herald is a vector of madness, spreading and magnifying the delusions that drive them. They’re inspiring warrior-envoys for the Flesh-eater Courts.

Fjori – Grimhold Exile is an avatar of retribution ready to meet foes in battle. The Grimhold Exiles are a rare sight to be seen within the Fyreslayers.

Games Workshop‘s Warhammer Fest 2023 had some upcoming releases to show off for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. The Cities of Sigmar got more teases with the Freeguild Cavaliers.

These horsemen are fitted with heavy armor and shields and weaponry to smash through the enemy.

The Maw-grunta is a pig like no other for the Orruk Warclans. These hulking beasts are a force of nature. One can easily smash through massed infantry. It’s big enough to have two Orruks riding side-saddled and equipped with massive hooked blades.

Both units will be leading the Dawnbringer Crusaders, the next major narrative for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.

Warhammer Fest 2023: Horus Heresy Siege of Cthonia characters revealed!

Posted on by Leave a comment

In March, Games Workshop revealed Siege of Cthonia, the first campaign book for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. The book covers the battle on the Warmaster’s homeworld. The story focuses on the Imperial Fists and Sons of Horus and now, we get the reveal of the headline characters from the Loyalist and Traitor commands.

Vheren Ashurhaddon is the overall commander of the Sons of Horus invasion fleet. He’s been tasked by Horus to recapture their homeworld and assembled a force to do so. Vheren Ashurhaddon is a vicious fighter and fashioned his True Sons into men of honor and discipline.

Vheren Ashurhaddon wears the Panoply of the Void, armor crafted from rare materials, and carries the Axe of Serpentis.

Lord-castellan Evander Garrius is a veteran of the Unification Wars. He’s a brutal warrior which has kept him far from his Primarch’s favor. His rare aggression for an Imperial Fist combined with his Legion’s fortification skills makes him a difficult foe to deal with.

Lord-castellan Evander Garrius wears Cataphractii armor and wields a gauntlet torn from the hand of a Terran dictator, the Tyrant of Cthonia.

Warhammer Fest 2023: Is Games Workshop teasing the return of Epic?

Posted on by Leave a comment

Warhammer Fest 2023 is in full swing and another round of reveals has been released including an intriguing teaser. The video below teases commanding “legions” and with the image, is it the return of the classic game Epic with a Horus Heresy twist? With the video called “Battle on a New Scale,” the signs are intriguing…

Epic was a miniature game where instead of commanding individual figures, you moved squads at a small scale. The game was first released in 1988 as Adeptus Titanicus and has gone through various editions. With the puttering release of the current Adeptus Titanicus, a return of troops and tanks might be an easy way to inject life into the system.
