Games Workshop Pre-Order Preview: Kill Team: Ashes of Faith, Horus Heresy, Made to Order Space Marines and more!

Posted on May 14, 2023 by Board Game Today Staff Leave a comment

While we wait for the release of Warhammer 40K 10th edition in June, Games Workshop has some releases to get you ready with Kill Team, some made to order Space Marines, and releases for Horus Heresy and Necromunda. Check out everything coming to pre-order next week.

Kill Team: Ashes of Faith bridges the gap between the previous season of releases and the next. It falls to the clandestine warriors of the Inquisition to lead the charge against these forces of sedition. Kill Team: Ashes of faith provides a lengthy narrative campaign focused on a group of these operatives and their attempt to purge a whole planet of a malignant Chaos Cult. There are 40 miniatures, 23 for the Chaos Cult, and 17 assorted Inquisitorial Agents. Seven of these are brand-new dual-build miniatures that allow you to build a rag-tag band of hyper-talented weirdos. The set also contains the Ashes of Faith Campaign Rulebook with all the rules for playing out this planet-spanning narrative, and dozens of accessories.

Campaigns of The Age of Darkness: The Siege of Cthonia is out for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. The 240-page supplement features a hefty lore section, campaign rules for playing out the key battles of the siege, new rules for claustrophobic Zone Mortalis battles, as well as new options for units and wargear including Inductii, tank commanders, and the Infernus Abomination.

The Vindicator Siege Tank will allow you to bombard enemy fortifications and enemy squads with its hull-mounted demolisher cannon. You’ll be able to get this plastic kit to add to your forces.

Get ready for Warhammer 40K 10th edition with these made to order figures. They will be available to order for nine days, between the 20th of May and the 29th of May at 8am UK-time – and they may take up to 180 days to arrive.

In plastic, there’s the Primaris Company Champion and the Blood Angels Captain in Terminator Armour. In resin are Brother Corbulo, Chapter Master Pedro Kantor, Chapter Master Gariel Seth, Flesh Tearers Shoulder Pads, Darnath Lysander, Dark Angels Company Master, Captain Sicarius, Sergeant Chronus, and Sergeant Telion. In resin, with plastic parts are Captain Tycho, Chaplain Cassius, and the Tyrannic War Veterans. And finally, in metal and plastic is the White Scars Khan on Bike.

From Forge World is Lord-castellan Evander Garrius – The Tyrant of Cthonia. Evander Garrius is one of the most decorated Imperial Fists, though his brutish methods and casual disregard for the wellbeing of his brothers have marked him out as something of a pariah.

Vheren Ashurhaddon – Master of the True Sons quickly rose through the ranks of the Luna Wolves. His zeal drew to him a cadre of highly skilled Chtonian Legionaries – known as the True Sons.

The Infernus Abomination is an assassin for the traitor legions and will be released in resin.

The last batch of Contemptor Dreadnought Torso Upgrades are on the way and include the Salamanders, the Ultramarines, the Word Bearers, the Alpha Legion, the Raven Guard, and the Thousand Sons.

If closed combat is your thing, you’ll want the Despoiler Squad Upgrade Set.

For Necromunda comes the Outland Beastmaster with Millisaurs. The set features three resin models to add to your gang.

The Black Library Warhammer 40,000 eShorts Week Subscription will be available starting on Monday the 22nd of May and runs until the 26th of May. This collection also includes three Black Library authors making their debut. The full lineup is Altar of Maws by Peter Fehervari, A Forbidden Meal by Carrie Harris, The Dust That Remains by J H Archer, The Whispering Blade by Matthew Harffy, and Stealing Orpheon by Richard Ford.

Ashwood Stranger is here to Dispense justice in Necromunda

Posted on March 6, 2023 by Board Game Today Staff Leave a comment

Justice is a rather shaky thing in the world of Necromunda. Ashwood Stranger is a gunfighter who walks in justice, wandering the underhive.

The armor and stub pistol would hint that Ashwood is a former Enforcer but his exact origin is unknown. No matter, he’s a force for justice.

Ashwood features Gunfighter, Hip Shooting, and Fast Shot using his two custom pistols. Take him as an Outcast leader at the head of a vigilante gang or hire him as a Bounty Hunter.

The resin figure comes with a fighter card and details can be found in the Book of Outcast.

They’re Brutes and tough to take down and self-repairing Mobile Bulwark that count as cover for their squad mates behind them.

Coming in boxes of two, the Sanctioner Pattern Automata will be coming in plastic.
