The Begnining of The End Times? Wrath of Magnus: REVIEW

wrath of magnus

Join us as we crack open the covers of the new Wrath of Magnus supplement and show you a little of what’s inside to help you decide if this book is for you!

Today we are going to take a look at the new Wrath of Magnus supplement to help you decide if it’s something you want to pick up or not!

The Wrath of Magnus is two great books. One is full of the rules and the other is the story behind War Zone Fenris.

In the fluff book there is a huge spoiler for what is to come as well as a section showing all of the different color schemes of the Thousand Sons.

The second book is the rules book. There are many different disciplines that can be taken and the most notable is the Discipline of Tzeentch. It was rumored that Magnus had some ridiculous psychic power with a nova, but as you can see here, that is not the case… Always add salt to rumors, yo!

It appears that the Pink Horrors split into Blue Horrors and the Blue Horrors split into Brimstone Horrors. This is a very interesting mechanic making a unit much more difficult to completely wipe out.

A new Tzeentch detachment gives us a ton of new bonuses that we will cover in detail in our next Tips & Tactics video.

Overall between the story leading up to what may the start of the 40k End Time and the new rules, no true 40k fan should go without this book!

The skies of Fenris are aflame, the awful truth revealed. The Thousand Sons, hidden architects of the Space Wolves’ darkest hour, have launched an arcane invasion across those realms sacred to the Sons of Russ. The Wulfen’s Curse has taken hold, the daemonic invasions that followed it a precursor to deadly Imperial bombardments that saw Chapter set against Chapter. The bringer of this system-spanning doom is Magnus the Red, an ancient demigod overthrown by the Fenrisians of yore. With the daemon primarch’s reappearance in realspace, a vendetta ten thousand years in the making has flared into world-shattering violence. The Crimson King is back to conquer Fenris, and the legions of the Warp march with him.

The Books

War Zone Fenris: Wrath of Magnus is the concluding part of the saga that began with War Zone Fenris: Curse of the Wulfen, in which the Thousand Sons return to Fenris to enact vengeance on the hated Space Wolves – led by their Daemon Primarch, Magnus the Red.
