Age of Sigmar players Rejoice! This week’s new releases involve the fan-favorite Gotrek and some more Warcry releases, including a new expansion!
Warhammer Community just let us in on the release lineup that goes up on preorder September 7th. If you enjoy the Age of Sigmar Universe, this is a great day indeed!
A little while back we had a look at Gotrek’s amazing model, and now its time to prepare ourselves for his release!
Armed with the legendary Fyreslayer axe Zangrom-Thraz, he’s deadlier than ever – even the mightiest Heroes of the Mortal Realms are more than fodder for Gotrek.
Gotrek is a legendary hero in the Mortal Realms, not only to Fireslayers and Dwarves, but also to Order as a whole.
This absolutely stunning model will make a great centrepiece in any Order army or an excellent addition to your collection, especially if you’re a fan of Gotrek Gurnisson’s Black Library stories. Speaking of which, a new Gotrek novel is also going to be available next week – in Ghoulslayer everyone’s favourite Duardin goes looking for Nagash. You’ll also be able to get the complete script for David Guymer’s Realmslayer and a new audio drama Realmslayer: Blood of the Old World. And yes, Brian Blessed is back as Gotrek!
Warcry Expansions
Monsters & Mercenaries is the first expansion for Warcry and it brings a whole host of new rules to the skirmish game. Your warbands can go on epic quests to claim glory and honour, or they can challenge some of the most dangerous creatures in the Mortal Realms to battle.
One of the new concepts being introduced is taming some of the monsters in the mortal realms. One such beast being introduced to Warcry is the Chimera! We can also expect to see new rules made for Warcry so we can play with this monstrosity!
The book also includes rules for adding powerful mercenary heroes and champions to your warband. Fancy adding a Tzaangor Shaman to your Cypher Lords? How about a Megaboss to go with your Ironjawz warband? With this new expansion, you can!
Depending on how far they go with these rules, this expansion could really turn out to be amazing. Warcry is already doing well, an expansion this large is nothing but positive to anyone enjoying it already!
Along with the new expansion is a new set of terrain. The original set was great, so this set is sure to be more of the same quality.
The two factions that were available in the starter set are now also going to be available separately. So if you couldn’t find a buddy to split the start box with, its a good time to start either of these factions.
The Chaotic Beasts are also getting their own release. So if you want to invade your games with additional Furies and Raptoryx, or add extra Thralls to your warbands, here’s your chance.**** Furies and Raptoryx also make great additions to your Chaos armies in Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
Look for all of this to go up for pre-order on the 7th of September with delivery on the 14th of September!
