The Fury of the Deep new AoS box is here along with some Blood Bowl, and Underworlds releases hitting pre-order this week!
Check out the latest from Games Workshop this week, and get those hobby dollars ready if you want any of these pre-orders that will go live for pre-order on Saturday, January 15th around 1 pm Eastern.
Let’s check out the offerings!
Fury of The Deep Box
Given the many terrors that crawl from Aqshy’s depths, it takes a brave soul indeed to set up home within spitting distance of the coast. Luckily Fyreslayers have no shortage of mettle, and they’ll need every ounce of it to fend off an Idoneth Deepkin assault in Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Fury of the Deep.
Two mighty hosts of warriors clash amidst the acidic waves of the Vitriol Sea, each led by a brand new miniature. The Auric Flamekeeper draws strength from his fallen comrades to bolster nearby allies, while the Akhelian Thrallmaster corrals his soulless Namarti troops and spurs them onwards to greater heights of violence.
In the box, there’s a brand new mini for each faction which makes it even more exciting!
Gorlok Blackpowder’s Warband
Meanwhile, beneath the churning swell of Ulgu’s Penumbral Sea, Gorlok Blackpowder and his motley crew search for treasures and fresh victims in the maze-like depths of Harrowdeep. Dragged beneath the waves by a predatory whirlpool, the ogor pirate swiftly discovered the potential of the labyrinth’s seemingly infinite passages, and set about plundering everything he could reach.
The mix of models in this Warband make for a great variety in painting challenge and are sure to be a fun Warband to play on the tabletop.
Illusory Might Rivals Deck
As well as a new warband, the latest deck for Warhammer Underworlds’ new Rivals format joins the fray. Rivals decks are ready-to-play selections of cards designed to get you into the Underworlds action as quickly and easily as possible, and Illusory Might gives your warband 32 brand new cards to shake up their strategies. The Illusory Might deck can be used with whichever Warband you fancy, meaning you can introduce entirely new play styles to your favourite miniatures.
This new format seems interesting and a great way for newer players to upgrade their collections!
White Dwarf 472
Issue 472 of White Dwarf magazine unveils the grand finale of A Tale of Four Warlords, with the armies revealed in all their glory. Meanwhile, rules for Genestealer Cults Kill Teams break cover to overthrow the Imperium, and a war of faith brews in the latest Flashpoint, set in the critical Nachmund Gauntlet.
Not to mention this will also come with cards for the new 2022 GT book Objectives!
Nurgle Team Pitch
The dubious blessings of Grandfather Nurgle come to Blood Bowl, twisting the pitch into a festering garden of pestilence. One side hints at the simmering infestation below the surface, while the other blooms into a full-blown plague garden complete with toothy growths erupting from the sod.
New team pitches for Blood Bowl are always a quick and easy way to boost the emersion and fantasy aspect of the game up even higher, so this is a great buy for players of the faction.
Nurgle Team Cards
Nurgle Team Dice
Those teams who feel right at home amidst the contagion will be glad to know a pack of Team Cards will soon be on hand to reference during the game, including their available Star Players and Special Plays. Complete the set with a pack of Nurgle-themed dice, finished in an appropriately sickly green colour with orange inlaid details. With any luck, they’ll attract the notice of the Plague God himself, who might bequeath some luck upon his favoured coaches.
Cards make early learning games easier and faster by removing the hassle of looking through a book or app, plus the dice are a surefire way to pronounce your loyalty to anyone who sees them.
