Alright, let’s dive into what’s coming out today in the Warhammer universe, and oh boy, it’s packed with some seriously exciting stuff! Whether you’re into the grim darkness of the Horus Heresy or the chaotic warfare of the Old World, there’s something for everyone.
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Martian Civil War
First up, we’re heading to Mars during the Horus Heresy. The Martian Civil War is getting the spotlight in the new Campaigns of The Age of Darkness: The Martian Civil War supplement. This is huge for Horus Heresy fans, as Mars wasn’t just making toys for the Emperor; it was a full-on battleground. We’re talking Tech-priests duking it out while Loyalists tried to take back the planet from the Warmaster’s forces. This 168-page book is packed with lore, missions, and new units that’ll let you relive this epic conflict. Plus, you can even mess around with the Techno-heresy rules and see if you can change the fate of Mars. The book’s dropping in both hardback and ePub formats, so get ready to dive deep into some Martian madness.
New Mechanicum Models
If you’re building a Mechanicum army, this release is a goldmine! There are several new units hitting the shelves, and they’re absolute beasts:
- Archmagos Prime: This guy is a total machine—literally! The Archmagos Prime is the brain behind your Mechanicum forces, with enough cybernetic enhancements to make the Borg jealous. He’s smart, he’s deadly, and he’s all about pushing the Machine Cult’s shadowy agenda.
- Thallax Cohort: The Thallax are your go-to shock troops, and they’re as versatile as they come. They’ve got jetpacks, tough armor, and the firepower to back it all up. Plus, you’ve got customization options galore—lightning guns, plasma-fusils, photon thrusters, you name it. And yes, melta bombs for everyone!
- Castellax Battle-automata Maniple: These towering automata are like walking tanks. They’re clad in heavy armor, have atomantic shields, and carry enough firepower to obliterate anything in their path. You can arm them with bolters, flamers, or even a darkfire cannon if you’re feeling extra spicy.
- Thanatar Cavas Siege-automata: If you need mobile artillery, the Thanatar Cavas is your machine. This thing lobs plasma mortars at your enemies like it’s nothing, and it can take a beating while dishing out serious damage. Plus, it’s packing twin-linked mauler bolt cannons for when things get up close and personal.
- Tech-thralls Covenant: These poor souls have been turned into mindless servants, perfect for cannon fodder. But don’t underestimate them—they can still unleash a nasty barrage of las-lock fire as they march to their doom.
- Triaros Armoured Conveyor: This is your dedicated transport, designed to get your troops to the front lines safely. It’s got thick armor, energy shields, and enough firepower to make sure nothing stands in its way. Plus, it looks super cool with its unique Mechanicum design.
And, of course, there’s a new Mechanicum Dice Set. These red and white dice are perfect for rolling in style, with the Mechanicum logo on the six face. Gotta love that thematic touch!
Warriors of Chaos – The Old World
Switching gears to the Old World, the Warriors of Chaos are back, and they’re bringing the pain. The new Arcane Journal: Warriors of Chaos supplement is a 48-page book that’s all about expanding your Chaos army. You’re getting new units, new characters, and some wicked new magic items to deck out your heroes.
- Warriors of Chaos Battalion: This box is your Chaos starter kit on steroids. You’re getting 32 Chaos Warriors, 10 Chaos Knights, and two Chaos Chariots. That’s 44 miniatures ready to wreak havoc in the name of the Dark Gods.
- Chaos Warriors Upgrades: If you’re tired of the standard sword and shield, you can grab some metal great weapons or halberds to really bring the pain. Perfect for dealing with those tougher enemies.
So, there you have it! Next week’s releases are absolutely stacked, whether you’re into the Horus Heresy, the Old World, or just love collecting classic miniatures. Make sure you’ve got your wallet ready because these are going to be hard to resist!
