The Old World train keeps rolling and I could not be happier.
Grand Cathay opened the door and now the Tomb Kings march right through. New heroes, new lore, and new Infamy lists all drop over the next few months. Because every release brings fresh paint projects, my backlog already cowers in fear. Yet we hobby maniacs know that more options always mean more fun on the tabletop.
Royal Heralds Lead the Dusty Charge
First up, we get Royal Heralds. These plastic beauties function as Tomb Princes or Battle Standard Bearers. Since each sprue includes three right and three left arms, you can mix and match poses with ease. You might field a Banner on foot and a mounted prince for hard‑hitting support. Consequently, Settra’s spearhead gains flexibility and serious style.
Liche Priests Keep the Legions Animated
Next, a dual kit introduces Liche Priests on foot and on skeletal steed. Because magic literally glues skeletal bodies together, every Khemri list wants at least one. Four head options and extra gubbins let you theme them to your dynasty. Therefore your incantations stay fresh while your models stay unique.
Arcane Journal: War of Settra’s Fury
Then, the 48‑page supplement dives into Settra’s invasion of the Border Princes and the Vaults. Inside, you find mount upgrades, Mortuary Cult spells, and Infamy lists such as Dwarfen Slayers and ragtag Border Prince levies. Moreover, the book includes small‑game rules that speed up weekday sessions. Because of this, narrative fans and competitive players both snag value.
Arcane Journal: Dawn of the Storm Dragon
Meanwhile, Cathay takes center stage in Dawn of the Storm Dragon. It tracks Miao Ying’s 2277 voyage to smash Frydaal the Chainmaker while courting the Empire. Readers gain terrain tables, multiplayer guidelines, linked battle chains, and The Jade Fleet Infamy list. Thus Cathayan junks and Westerland cannon crews fight Chaos side by side.
Closing Thoughts
These releases prove the Old World is only warming up. Because new kits bring modern sculpting to classic factions, painters get eye candy and gamers get fresh rules. Grab your brushes, update your army lists, and prepare for desert bones and jade sails to clash in grand style. I will see you on the battlefield, dice in hand and sand in my paint water.
