Over 16 new products have arrived from Games Workshop. Come take a look at this week’s new Necromunda, AoS, and Blood Bowl release lineup and pricing for April 28th
This week GW is showing some love to three of their hottest games with spankin’ new goodies for AoS, Necromunda, and Bloodbowl. Let’s take a look.
This Week’s Idoneth Deepkin Pre-orders: $75
Collect together each of the Idoneth Deepkin miniatures on pre-order this week in one click with this collection – 3 examples of Isharann Agents, born with a talent for harnessing arcane forces. Included:
– An Isharann Soulrender, a reaper who claims the soul-spirits of the dead, attracting them with his lurelight and ensnaring them with his rope-catch. Accompanied by an aggressive Rakerdart;
– An Isharann Soulscryer, priest of the Idoneth Deepkin, who navigates the whirlways with his compass and dowserchimes, defended from attack by a swarm of Scryfish;
– An Isharann Tidecaster, master of the arcane energies of the deep, who conjures the phantasmal seas which can suffocate foes in a tide of sheer despair. She carries an aelven rune and pelagic staff, and is accompanied by a spirit guardian.
Isharann Soulrender: $25
The Soulrenders are unusual amongst the Isharann, for they are trained alongside the Akhelians, and are well accustomed to acting at the forefront of battle. Upon each Soulrender’s helm dangles a lurelight, its strange glow attracting and absorbing souls. Armed with a hooked polearm known as a talúnhook, Soulrenders fight alongside the Namarti, replenishing their subordinates’ ranks even as they reap spirit-stuff. A rope-catch attached to the talúnhook is ideal for snaring foes that attempt to flee, and each Soulrender employs a Rakerdart, a bond-beast that glides at its master’s feet, ready to stab prey with its sharp bill to ensure none can escape.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble an Isharann Soulrender. Far more heavily armoured than the Namarti he fights alongside, this model is clad in thick metal plate, with enormous shoulder pads in the shape of nets giving the model a particularly aggressive silhouette. The lower half is covered by a large robe featuring embroidered waves, from under which his heavy boots peek – his left foot is standing on a barnacle-encrusted rock, which decorates the base. His helmet is a standout feature – partially closed, a large metal structure looms out and over the top of his head, ending with the lurelight he uses to attract the soulstuff that fuels his kin. His talúnhook is massive – longer than he is tall – and ends in a wicked serrated blade, curving into an evil-looking hook, with its rope-catch dangling beneath. The Rakerdart that accompanies him is clearly a creature accustomed to combat, with plates running the length of its body and a large spike providing offensive weaponry.
This kit comes as 7 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round base.
Isharann Soulscryers: $25
With their cyfar compasses and dowserchimes, the Soulscryers can map the dark corners of a being’s soul as well as those of the mortal realms, marking them out as navigators and priests among the Idoneth. Whether their quest leads towards spirit-plunder or along new paths of the whirlways, the Soulscryers divine the way. In addition, the Soulscryers can single out a battlefield’s richest quarry, illuminating them as a prime target. In combat, they arm themselves with finger-claws made from razor-sharp Allopex teeth. They are also accompanied by Scryfish shoals, etherfish that help point the way and vigorously attack foes with the spikes jutting from their jaws.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble an Isharann Soulscryer. Clad in ornate robes, with a large collar and headpiece that make his priestly origins and role clear, he is a purposeful-looking miniature. His robes are held together by a large set of metal shoulder pads, which also protect his back, curving up into 2 points covered in carved Idoneth symbols. His head is shaved and his ears pierced – adding to the personal decorations are bands of metal on his arms. With him he carries a cyfar compass, a large bowl-shaped item attached to his cloak, and his dowerchimes; these hang from a large pole held in his left arm, and extend far above him, ending in an ornate Idoneth rune. 9 Scryfish swarm around his legs, following the direction his clawed right hand points.
This kit comes as 11 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round base.
Isharann Tidecaster: $25
It is the Tidecasters who conjure the phantasmal sea that allows aelf and aquatic beast to move and breathe as if they were in their own natural environment. They are able to conjure spells from the repressed anguish of the Idoneth, the curse that echoes still from their ancestors’ torture within Slaanesh. Such magics take the form of crushing waves of despair, black pits of hopelessness or raging maelstroms of horror that shatter the minds of the foe, leaving them open to attacks from the Namarti and Akhelians. So potent are these enchantments that some victims believe themselves to be trapped underwater, causing them to drown in their own fear and sorrow.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble an Isharann Tidecaster. Standing atop a large, fallen aelven ruin (the head of a statue, featuring a carved ruin on the forehead), she is posed very much in the manner of a wizard summoning something dark – her eyes are closed, and she clutches a rune in her right hand (the aelven rune for water in fact, an indication of the phantasmal seas she controls). She is clad in metal plate armour, with spiked shoulder pads holding the large cloak that billows behind her. Above her head is a finned crest attached to her helmet, with a shell at the centre. Denoting her wizardly status further is a scroll case and a set of potion bottles that hang from her hip. She is armed with a pelagic staff, and is accompanied a spirit guardian which swims around her, keeping her from harm.
This kit comes as 12 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round base.
Namarti Corps: $225
Field the Namarti Corps, a Warscroll battalion from Battletome: Idoneth Deepkin with this bundle. The Namarti are skilled warriors that form the backbone of the Idoneth Deepkin armies, with their corps accounting for half the full strength of a phalanx. Each corps is led to battle by a Soulrender, who can revive the fallen to rejoin the battle. Included:
– An Isharann Soulrender, a reaper who claims the soul-spirits of the dead, attracting them with his lurelight and ensnaring them with his rope-catch. Accompanied by an aggressive Rakerdart;
– 2 sets of 10 Namarti Thralls, who make up the Idoneth’s infantry. Each wields a lanmari, which are distributed as follows – 8 can take a choice of glaive or sword, 6 have a choice of axe or sword, 4 carry swords and 2 carry axes;
– 2 set of 10 Namarti Reavers, archers and scouts of the Idoneth Deepkin, who can each wield either a whisperbow or a combination of whisperbow and keening knife.
Royal Council: $90
Field the Royal Council, a Warscroll Battalion from Battletome: Idoneth Deepkin, with this bundle. The leadership of the Idoneth Deepkin is composed of a powerful triumvirate that combines both might and magic. It is these individuals that relentlessly drive the phalanx to victory; never forgetting the dire need that brings the Idoneth out of the safety of their reclusive depths. Included:
– An Akhelian King, commander of the Idoneth armies, who comes armed with a choice of poleaxe or greatsword and rides a towering Deepmare;
– An Isharann Soulscryer, priest of the Idoneth Deepkin, who navigates the whirlways with his compass and dowerchimes, defended from attack by a swarm of Scryfish;
– An Isharann Tidecaster, master of the arcane energies of the deep, who conjures the phantasmal seas which can suffocate foes in a tide of sheer despair. She carries an aelven rune and pelagic staff, and is accompanied by a spirit guardian.

Van Saar Gang: $40
House Van Saar is the technological powerhouse of Necromunda, its artisans and armourers creating the finest weapons and wargear of all the clans.

The Doom Lords: $35
The exact identity of the owner of the Doom Lords is unknown – he is referred to commonly as ‘The Overfiend’. When establishing his team, the Overfiend cut no corners. He hired the best coach money could buy and equipped him with the best assistants, entered into numerous dark pacts with various daemonic entities and searched long and hard for the best players who could be coerced into joining him. Those who refused soon learned that the Overfiend has a very literal interpretation of the term ‘headhunting’…
