Warhammer dropped a very mixed batch of updates today. One is packed with sneaky new Skaven rules. Another turns Warhammer+ into pure monster mayhem.
Meanwhile, the last one is a licensed collectible reveal for Raven Guard fans. So, there is a nice spread here for players, painters, and collectors alike.
Clans Eshin Get the Kind of Nasty Rules You Would Expect
The biggest tabletop news is the new Clans Eshin package tied to Spearhead: City of Ash. The new kill-pack formation picks an enemy Hero as prey, then gives all friendly Eshin units +2″ Move once that target dies.
So, the whole formation plays like a hit squad that strikes, then vanishes. Deathmaster Crixxit is the clear star, because his Blades of Thirteen Cuts make 13 attacks, gain Anti-Hero, and can deal mortal wounds on crits.
Meanwhile, his Master of Assassins rule doubles his melee damage into Heroes, while his Shadowblood Cloak lets him jump to a nearby Eshin unit on a 3+, even into combat.
Gutter Runners bring the real Skaven nonsense, because they can tag enemies with Bomb Rat tokens, then detonate them at the end of any turn, even if the runners are already dead.
Night Runners are less explosive, yet still slippery, because their Smoke Bombs let them fight and then scoot away on a 3+. Together, it looks like a force built to knife key targets, spread panic, and refuse fair fights.
Warhammer+ Is Leaning Hard Into Spectacle This Week
Warhammer TV’s main draw is a randomised three-way monster brawl. Chaos fields three Bloodthirsters and a Daemonsmith on Infernal Taurus. Meanwhile, Order answers with a Drakesworn Templar, Spirit of Durthu, Treelord, Auric Runeson on Magmadroth, and an Alarith Spirit of the Mountain. Destruction, very fittingly, just hurls three Mega-Gargants into the mess.
Then the week rounds out with a Loremasters history on Armageddon, a contrast-themed Ultimate Paint-Off, two more White Dwarf issues in the Vault, and a Weta prize draw for annual subscribers who sign up before 5 May.
Corax Finally Gets the Big Raven Guard Collectible Treatment
Corvus Corax is getting a new JOYTOY figure, and it looks very much like the full Primarch treatment. He stands over 18cm tall, has 28 points of articulation, comes with two heads, and includes Wrath, Justice, Talionis, and extendable Corvidine Talons with optional blue lightning.
Meanwhile, the wider Raven Guard wave adds two Dark Furies, two Mor Deythan, a Contemptor Dreadnought, and two Tactical Marines. So, this is less a lone release and more a proper little XIX Legion lineup.
