Aeldari Bladehost $246.50
Description
The warriors of the Ynnari do not fear death for, in many ways, they are the ancient Aeldari reborn. The bladehosts that fight for Ynnead’s glory are united in this belief, body and soul. Whether they hail from the craftworlds, the webway or the arenas of Comorragh, these expert bladesmen have learned to harness, and even share, the deathly energies they release with each kill. The storm of blades rages faster and faster with each victory they win in the name of the God of the Dead.

Whispering Ghost Hall $307.75
Description
Striding unstoppably forward comes the Whispering Ghost Hall. A gathering of wraith constructs like no other, its ranks are wreathed by a mass of phantoms that howl and wail with bone-chilling intensity. Unlike the ghost warriors of the craftworlds, the undying soldiers that fight for Yvraine have had their souls permanently transferred into their wraithbone shells, returning them to the dark and deadly purpose they possessed when still alive. Such is the power Ynnead has over the spirit world – even long-dead Eldar are given life anew, the better to slay the enemies of their race.
This bundle contains the miniatures necessary to assemble the Whispering Ghost Hall, a formation found in The Gathering Storm: Fracture of Biel-Tan. You’ll receive:

Ynnead’s Net $153.50
Description
Inescapable and inevitable, the net of Ynnead has every living thing caught within its strands. Sooner or later than net will contract, cutting away life with strands of soulsteel and moonlight. It is this cosmos-spanning artefact that these outriders seek to emulate. The shuriken catapults and splinter rifles of Ynnead’s Net cut into the body of the enemy even as the psychic arts of its Warlock leaders cut away the soul – there is no escape. Not even in death.
This bundle contains the miniatures necessary to field Ynnead’s Net, a formation from The Gathering Storm: Fracture of Biel-Tan. You’ll receive:
– a Warlock Skyrunner,
– a set of 2 Skyweavers,
– a set of 3 Windriders,
– a set of 3 Reaver Jetbikes.
Soulbound Vanguard $140.25
Description
At the core of Yvraine’s warhost is tight-knit cadre of deadly killers, amongst them the same faithful warriors that fought alongside her when she was still a gladiatrix. Many have fought by her side since then – venturing into the hellish dimension of the Warp and emerging all the more powerful for it. The Soulbound Vanguard channel the life forces that rage around the battlefield to bolster their bodies and souls as they dart with preternatural speed from one slaughter to the next.
This bundle nets you the models necessary to field the Soulbound Vanguard, a formation from The Gathering Storm: Fracture of Biel-Tan. You’ll receive:

Black Guardian Vyper Squadron $75
Description
Appearing as dark blurs in the sky, the Vypers of Ulthwé zoom in, heavy weapons spitting to blast open the unwitting foe’s heaviest war assets. When these squadrons are despatched in great hunting packs, there is no monstrous mutant or Daemon-possessed war machine they cannot take down in a single pass.
Skilfully piloted, they can emerge from the tightest capillaries of the webway at great speed, appearing from nowhere to deal death in high quantities.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the parts needed to build a Black Guardian Vyper Squadron – 3 Vyper Jetbikes with pilots and gunners, with weapon options including bright lances, star cannons, missile launchers, shuriken cannon and scatter lasers. Supplied with 3 large flying bases.
Triumvirate of Ynnead $75
Description
Though the chosen of Ynnead are extremely dangerous in their own right, when they marshal their strength as one they have the power to alter the fate of the galaxy. Striding majestically at the front comes Yvraine, high priestess of the Whispering God; by her side is the Visarch; and hovering above like a macabre angel is the Yncarne. Though these three are surrounded by an air of morbid power, they represent the Aeldari race’s greatest hope for a dramatic rebirth.

Storm Guardians $54.25
Description
Although they lack the protection afforded by Aspect armour, Storm Guardians fight with all the skill and grace of their kind. Their blades sweep into the foe, chopping through limbs and joints before the enemy can retaliate. Where warriors hide behind armoured hulls or hunker down in cover, this militia will bring fusion guns and flamers to the fore, forcing their quarry into the open and beginning the slaughter in earnest.
Contained in this bundle is everything you need to make a set of 8 Storm Guardians. You’ll receive an Eldar Guardian Squad* and a Storm Guardian Upgrade pack, featuring 22 resin heads and weapons.
*this includes a heavy weapons platform with two members – this cannot be upgraded to Storm Guardian.
Gathering Storm: Fracture of Biel-Tan $50
Description
Though they long ago learned how to stave off the vile attention of She Who Thirsts – known as Slaanesh in the tongues of men – the Time of Ending yet tightens its grip on the Eldar. No matter the methods they use to escape the notice of the god who haunts them, the Eldar sacrifice much in the process.
Some Eldar refuse to abandon the glorious dream of building their ancient empire anew – or at least burning brightly before the end. Eldrad Ulthran, High Farseer of Craftworld Ulthwé, puts into place a plan to bring forth Ynnead, the slumbering God of the Dead. A daemonic host assaults Biel-Tan, corrupting its infinity circuit. Unlikely alliances are formed in the face of desperation. And the Gathering Storm darkens over the entire galaxy…

Black Guardian Windriders $41
Description
The Black Guardians use swiftness and surprise to tear out the heart of the enemy army, and none embody this lightning-quick assault more than the Windriders.

By the time their victims bleed their last, the Black Guardian Windriders are long gone, searching for more targets to bring low.

After their prey is destroyed, the Black Guardians disappear without trace.

The Horus Heresy Book 42: Garro (Hardback) $30
Description
THE STORY
From out of the shadows of the Silent War, a hero emerges. Clad all in grey, an errant warrior of the Legiones Astartes kneels before the Regent of Terra, and accepts a solemn new duty – Battle-Captain Garro, once commander of the Eisenstein, now Agentia Primus of Malcador the Sigillite. From the desolation of Isstvan to the halls of the Imperial Palace itself, he stands as a paragon of loyalty and protector of the innocent, ever ready to strike back at the traitorous allies of the Warmaster. But Garro is walking a path of his own, one that may lead him to question his own place in the Imperium… and what if he, too, should falter?
This book contains James Swallow’s complete saga of Nathaniel Garro in the Horus Heresy – the audio drama series is embellished and expanded in prose, with additional scenes to represent the author’s original vision. This all serves as prelude to the events of the novella Vow of Faith, bringing Garro closer to his inescapable destiny as the first true martyr of the Lectitio Divinitatus.
READ IT BECAUSE
Garro hasn’t reached the end of his journey quite yet – the Siege of Terra awaits him – but for the very first time, you can read his entire saga in a single volume, from his first mission as an agent of the Sigillite to his decision to break away and seek his own destiny.
Written by James Swallow. This novel includes content from the audio dramas Garro: Oath of Moment, Garro: Legion of One, Garro: Sword of Truth, Garro: Shield of Lies, Burden of Duty and Garro: Ashes of Fealty, plus the novella Garro: Vow of Faith.
