Don’t miss all the models that are coming in the new Blackstone Fortress game this holiday season, and how much it is going to cost you!
Games Workshop has wasted no time previewing models coming for Blackstone Fortress. If you haven’t been caught up yet, make sure you check out everything we’ve seen so far.
There’s also been some pics spotted on Spikey Bits Hobbies Facebook showing the Blackstone Fortress game laid out with pricing. Let’s take a better look.
Also, if you haven’t heard…It looks like Abaddon may not be in Blackstone Fortress after all. Check out the latest.
New Chaos Models Previewed For Blackstone Fortress
Janus Draik looks to be the “ringleader” of the whole operation for Blackstone Fortress.
The Rogue Trader, Janus Draik, looks to be the main character out of the game. He’s been quoted from the preview earlier talking about a <Redacted>. He’s also talking in a video from Games Workshop.
Janus is talking in the video about an area of space full of adventurers that’s called Precipice.
The video is essentially him looking for a group brave (or stupid) enough to follow him into the Blackstone Fortress. It looks like he’s already got a group of adventurers by his side…
Whatever the reason may be for the Kroot to join Janus, he’s decked out and armed to the teeth when you compare him to some of the 40k models that Tau use as expendable cover.
As for the latest model in the preview lineup, this “drone” was spotted in a video creeping up on Janus and his retinue. It definitely looks to NOT be on his side as they are already inside the fortress observing them.
We’ve heard rumors of Chaos getting a Sorcerer model, Marines, and Renegade Guardsman-type units in the game…but not Drones.
In the latest video, Janus is talking about what he sees upon entering. Hallways and doors constantly changing, Areas moving and twisting at random intervals, (basically a mini Tzeentch realm). Those Drones/servitors in the video don’t necessarily look dangerous. But looks can be deceiving.
Janus’s Opposition: Negavolt Cultists & More
Negavolt Cultists express their heretical devotion by despoiling machinery and corrupting the function of sacred technologies through daemonic invocations and abstruse rituals.
What could the Ur-Ghul be doing inside the Blackstone Fortress? Are they there to pick up the bloody scraps from fights within the corridors?
Guardsman that have turned their backs on the Emperor look like they’re sticking together within the dark halls. It’s no surprise that they would be in a fortress dedicated Chaos itself.
This is the most interesting clip from the video by far. There’s definitely a Marine of some kind with a thunder hammer. Is this the new Chaos Lord that the rumors were talking about?
What is that figure standing just in front of the Negavolt Cultists with the Chaos banner? It looks humanoid but not quite like everything else in the art. We aren’t quite sure.
Pictures & Pricing Spotted in Gift Guide
Blackstone Fortress was previewed in a GW Gift Guide with pricing to get people hyped for the holiday season. Let’s go even further and break down the images.
With prices of the game being shown for everywhere around the globe, it’ll be $150 for us here in the U.S.
There’s a lot going on in the pic of the actual game on display. We didn’t know there would be these many models on such a tight space. Is this game going to be something like a free-for-all brawl?
The picture is really grainy but we can still make out a few models in the picture. There’s a Negavolt Cultist standing alone in the bottom left. It also looks like that man in the make-shift Terminator suit from the video preview is up near the top center by himself. We can also see some Ur-Ghul off to the side by some decks of cards.
Navigating the halls will be a real pain as it looks like around every corner, there’s a Renegade Guardsmen there to stop you. Will you be getting a box just for the models? Which faction are you wanting to play? Will Ur-Ghul be a “wild card” can come in and attack a player at random? Let us know in the comments on our Facebook Hobby Group.
