Winter is coming as GW is rolling Space Wolves next week as a standalone and with the rumored Vigilus starter set against Genestealer Cults.
Check out what’s coming your way for pre-order on the 18th of August.
First up for next week is Tooth and Claw. GW is calling this a thrilling story for 40k and says it will SAVE YOU MONEY. What?
With two armies, rules and 40-page softback book exploring new lore, it’s great whether you’re just starting with Warhammer 40,000, looking to kick off a new army or just want to expand an existing collection.
In Tooth and Claw, the Space Wolves – now reinforced by the Primaris Space Marines – descend upon Vigilus to crush the insidious Genestealer Cults. This is no mere uprising – positioned in one of the only relatively stable channels between each half of the galaxy, Vigilus is both the gateway to the beleaguered “Imperium Nihilus” and a citadel against the Black Legion, Orks and all manner of threats from without. Should the Space Wolves fail, the consequences would be devastating…
Tooth and Claw has new models GW claims you won’t find anywhere but there.
Starting with a new Primaris Battle Leader for the Space Wolves.
Not to mention they’re also stuffing a Redemptor Dreadnought, Intercessors, and Aggressors in this box.
For the Genestealer Cults, meanwhile, Aberrants receive a multipart kit, as well as a new Character dedicated to leading them. The Abominant – a vile fusion of Aberrant and gene-matter gifted from the Patriarch itself trades the psychic power and cunning of other Genestealer Cults leaders for unspeakable strength and durability. Capable of smashing anything from enemy leaders to heavy battle tanks to bits, he might not be subtle – but who needs to be when you’ve got a power sledgehammer?
Alongside the Abominant, you’ll find a brand-new set of Aberrants, given all-new sculpts packed with disgusting detail. With 11 different heads and a choice of weapons in the kit, no two models you build need to look the same. And you can arm your squad leader with a stop sign – what’s not to love?
And if you love the Aberrants, you’ll love the Hybrid Metamorphs, Purestrain Genestealers, and an Acolyte Iconward for close-combat action.
Did you want a codex? Here’s a codex.
Next week also sees the highly anticipated Space Wolves codex land – and we think it’s safe to say the wait has been well worth it. This new codex brings the sons of Russ up-to-date with the new edition, offering them powerful faction-wide rules, Stratagems and all the great stuff you’ve come to expect from this generation of codexes.
As well as bringing Primaris Space Marines fully into the fold, the codex is packed with tweaks and improvements to every part of your army. There are even some brand-new datasheets, giving you never-seen-before options like Wulfen Dreadnoughts or Wolf Guard Terminators clad in Cataphractii and Tartaros pattern armour. We’ll be previewing the new codex throughout the next week with a closer look at what it means for you and your army, so stay tuned!
For those truly dedicated to the service of the Allfather and Fenris, the magnificent Collector’s Edition is for you. Strictly limited in number and featuring a unique soft-touch cover and a black ribbon marker, make sure to get your copy before they run out. All fans, meanwhile, will want to pick up a set of Datacards to keep track of the various Stratagems and psychic powers your army can use, while a set of special Space Wolves Dice feature claw marks in place of pips in a bit of ferocious flair.
And last but not least, Plague Marines! These are coming back to shelves with Death Guard. Because you asked for it, and GW leaps when you say jump…
When these models were released, they became instantly iconic among the community, cropping up in painting competitions and Death Guard collections across the world – one even managed to secure the Slayer Sword at last year’s Warhammer 40,000 Open Day:
