warcry-next-weekThe new Warcry Red Harvest box is hitting pre-order next week along with even more 40k rules through Octarius book 2!

Games Workshop just let us in on all the new releases that are finally going up for pre-order this coming Saturday.

Now let’s look at next week’s line-up from Warhammer Community.

Warcry Red Harvest

Warcry Red Harvest includes two new warbands and a host of incredible terrain. The Tarantulos Brood seek to use mutation and their arachnoid allies to weave complex webs (both metaphorical and literal) to ensnare their enemies. Meanwhile, the Darkoath Savagers are more straightforward – they prove their worthiness to the Everchosen with brute strength. New rules help you make the most of the brilliantly twisted scenery you get in the box, as you activate machinery and push enemy fighters to their doom in molten pits.

There’s also a whopping 23 minis in the box and a full set of terrain, making for a fantastic starter into the world of Warcry.

War Zone Octarius Book 2: Critical Mass

Warzone Octarius book 2

Along with the galaxy-shaking conclusion to this epic conflict, the book contains a codex supplement for the Blood Axes, updated Index rules for Rogue Trader crews, a Speed Freeks Army of Renown, and rules for embarking on an Octarius Sector Campaign with new Legendary missions, branching mission trees, and powerful Crusade relics up for grabs.

From the sounds of it, this will have less variety of factions covered than the first book but will be much more faction-focused on the Orks.

Crusade Mission Pack: Catastrophe

Where Containment focused on planetstrike missions, this introduces the new Treachery and Honour system, which offers new ways to play multiplayer games of Warhammer 40,000. It features 21 new missions (six each for Combat Patrol-, Incursion-, and Strike Force-sized games, and three for Onslaught games), along with a host of bespoke Stratagems, Battle Traits, and Agendas. It also includes the new Underdog system, which can help you grasp victory from the jaws of certain defeat.

If you enjoy narrative play, these mission packs help add a lot of variety to those games through the crusade system.

Octarius Book 2 Dice

The Critical Mass Dice Set includes 20 dice in dark green with an Inquisitorial rosette and a xenos skull at the centre on the 6 face.

 Sisters of Battle Comic Issue #3

Finally from the 41st Millennium, there’s the third issue of the Sisters of Battle comic from Marvel. Follow the legendary Canoness Veridyan and her Adepta Sororitas as they wage their war of faith upon the planet Siscia. This features an exclusive Games Workshop cover that is only available from the Games Workshop webstore and your local Warhammer shop.

The Warhammer adventure into the Comic medium has been pretty successful, so if you are curious these are probably a safe entry point to start checking them out!
