hristmas and Warhammer reveals just go together. So, GW is dropping a big one here. Huron Blackheart is back in plastic.
Additionally, he is still the Maelstrom’s nastiest pirate king. Naturally, the vibe is “raid first, ask never.”
The article spotlights Huron Blackheart as the Master of the Red Corsairs. Also, it leans hard into his titles and legend. He is the pirate lord of the Maelstrom. Moreover, he is the Tyrant of Badab, which screams old grudges. So, this is meant to feel like a proper centerpiece villain.
The Model’s Look: Melta Damage Turned Into a Weapon Mount
The new plastic miniature focuses on the horror of his near death. Specifically, it shows what happens after a melta blast ruins half a Marine. His face is badly mutilated. Meanwhile, his power armour is shattered along the entire right side. However, that damage creates an opening for the Tyrant’s Claw. So, the article jokes there is a “silver lining” in the worst way.
Lore Hook: Mystery Recovery and Rule Through Fear
After a “miraculous recovery,” the details stay intentionally mysterious. Then, Huron immediately starts breaking scoundrels and reavers into service. Eventually, they swear to his new Red Corsairs. He rules the Maelstrom through charisma and brutality. Additionally, his reputation travels far beyond his territory. Most importantly, he is known for gutting even close allies when loyalty slips.
What Comes Next: A Command Team Tease for 2026
However, the article reminds you a captain needs a crew. More miniatures will join his command team next year. Still, the writers keep it as a guessing game. To learn who is coming, you must follow Warhammer Community. Finally, they say the rest of the reveals land in 2026, and they wish everyone a great Christmas. Also, they note the Grotmas Calendar is basically done, but you can revisit every door from the month.
