Games Workshop World Championships Preview: The Mad King Rises with an army that follows

Posted on November 17, 2023 by Brett Leave a comment

Sumeros Summerking has returned! Behold, Ushoran, the Mortarch of Delusion, the most august and revered monarch in all the Mortal Realms. Ushorn was once the greatest and noblest champion of Nagash and was brought low by a twist of fate. Now, he’s a swollen goliath with an unquenchable thirst.

You’ll find all of that history in Dawnbringers Book IV – The Mad King Rises. In Aqshy, the crusade runs afoul of Lauka Vai’s Vengorian Courts, and in Ghyran it marches deep into Ushoran’s domain of New Summercourt. The Mad King Rises is the next chapter of Dawnbringers, bringing exciting plot developments, rules for every Death faction, and the return of Triumph and Treachery, a battlepack in which multiple players vie for success.

Joining Ushoran is a new chivalrous army. These new devoted servants, bold knights, and more are here for the Summerking to battle others on their mission to rescue the Mortal Realms from the grip of war, and establish a utopia of honor and majesty.

The Cryptguard protect their monarch’s estates. Lowly serfs have earned their privileges through valor and loyalty. They dine on the leftovers from the noble banquets.

Morbheg Knights ride winged steeds into battle delivering a pulverising charge.

Varghulf Courtiers bring strength as wandering champions who do battle wherever they find it.

The Abhorrant Cardinal are loyal to Ushoran alone enforcing the Summerking’s divine will with miracles.

Royal Decapitators carry out justice of the courts with little hesitation. They wield massive axes with zeal.

You’ll be able to get the next step in this army with the Flesh-eater Courts Army Set. This box contains a diligent Abhorrant Gorewarden, a blessed Varghulf Courtier, 20 Cryptguard eager to seek approval from the court, and three valiant Morbheg Knights. The army set also contains an exclusive edition of Battletome: Flesh-eater Courts, which lays out the full chivalric traditions of the kingdoms that pay fealty to the Lord of Masques, and a set of warscroll cards, enhancement cards, and tokens exclusive to the box.

Warhammer Fest 2023: Age of Sigmar the Dawnbringer Crusades are coming!

Posted on April 30, 2023 by Brett 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.

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.

Braggit Big-Talka – Rabble-Rowza is attended by a swarm of bat squigs and can gather hordes of agitated cave-critters that can bring a deluge of destruction.
