Keep tabs on your favorite factions and characters from the worlds of Warhammer with the latest new release titles.
Coming in fresh from Warhammer Community, these upcoming releases will be available to pre-order this coming Saturday at 1 PM Eastern time here in the states.
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Aeronautica Imperialis Rulebook
Aeronautica Imperialis comes to the Age of Darkness! This book provides the complete Aeronautica Imperialis rules and eight classic scenarios to play through, along with complete rules for the Legiones Astartes air fleets, the human pilots of the Divisio Aeronautica, and the Legio Custodes’ deadly Ares Gunship – allowing you to bring dogfights to life in the skies of the Horus Heresy.
Play in an entirely new era thanks to this new rule book, allowing for games in the age of darkness.
Vanaheim Area of Engagement
Recreate the bitter fighting in the skies above Vanaheim with these double-sided, hex-marked gaming boards for Aeronautica Imperialis. One side is covered with dense orbital hives while the other features a vast stretch of frozen canyons – which will your airforce dominate?
New emersion and new locales are easy to do but can add an extra layer to the fun of this game specifically.
Ares Gunship
The Legio Custodes take to the skies with their new aircraft from Forge World. Armed with a magna-blaze cannon and a heavy blaze cannon, it can do serious damage at short, medium, and long ranges. Even if this fighter gets caught out of position, its high Structure value should ensure that it will keep flying even after the worst enemy attacks.
Field the mighty Custodes in the air with their new Aeronautica model.
Legiones Astartes Aircraft Cards
Keep track of your Xiphon Interceptors, Thunderhawk Gunships, Storm Eagles, and Fire Raptor Gunships with this card pack, which includes cards for aircraft, upgrades, optional weapons, ground defences, ace abilities, and the new Legion-specific upgrades.
Divisio Aeronautica Aircraft Cards
If you prefer to send regular humans to fight in the galaxy’s biggest civil war, these cards are great for keeping facts and figures at your fingertips in the heart of battle. There are aircraft cards for Thunderbolts, Marauder Destroyers, Marauder Bombers, Lightnings, and Avenger Strike Fighters. There are also upgrade cards, weapon cards, ground defence cards, and ace ability cards.
Delaque Spyker
Part spy, part psyker, all brain! This exclusive Hanger-on for Delaque gangs can use their warp-fuelled powers to help you dominate the underhive. The Spyker comes with a fighter card, and full rules for using them in your games of Necromunda can be found in House of Shadow.
BRAIN BLAST, or at least that’s one thing that might come to mind after seeing this model. Either way, its unique and is sure to do interesting things on the field as well.
Corpse Grinder Weapons Set
Upgrade your Corpse Grinder Cult gang – and prepare a mean charcuterie – with this deadly selection of weapons. There’s a selection of ranged weapons for your Initiates, including a savage harpoon launcher, and vicious close combat weapons for the rest of your gang, such as the rotary flensing saw and chain glaives. There’s also a grisly Cult icon to inspire your gang in battle.
Spice up your front lines in your gang, by using these new weapon swaps to help each member stand out just that little bit extra.
Drekki Flynt and The Arkanaut’s Oath
First encountered in the pages of White Dwarf, then in short stories The Lost Karak and Krenkha Gorgona, the roguish Kharadron Overlords captain Drekki Flynt is starring in his first full-length novel – The Arkanaut’s Oath. This self-proclaimed genius has been given an ultimatum by his nemesis, but can the dashing duardin overcome terrible storms, grot pirates, and fearsome air-beasts to tell the tale?
Guy Haley’s novel is available in hardback, ebook, and audiobook editions, and is accompanied by a stunning new miniature of our protagonist. Armed with his custom scatter gun and an axe-skyhook combo – not to mention his cutting wit – Drekki is pretty handy in a fight. His rules will be available to download for free from Warhammer Community next week, so you can use him in your games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
This new Book and model combo provides a fun and interesting bridge between the lore and hobby side of Warhammer AoS, hopefully, we continue to see these in the future and let’s pray they have decent rules on the tabletop to reflect their lore impact.
Cado Ezechiar and The Hollow King
The tragic vampire Cado Ezechiar is getting the same treatment as Drekki, with an inaugural novel and a similarly incredible miniature. On the tabletop, he’s a threat to other heroes with that lethal greatsword and a selection of haunted rings, while his elegant armour protects him from all but the worst reprisals.
On the page, John French’s novel The Hollow King follows the star of Beasts and Tower of Empty Mirrors on his path of revenge against the forces of Chaos. Can he navigate through a web of deceit while remaining bound to his code and obsession for vengeance? Find out in hardback, ebook, and audiobook formats.
On the slightly more mysterious side of things, this lone vampire might also have some really unique rules and lore implications!
Rogal Dorn: The Emperor’s Crusader (Limited Edition)
Six decades into the Great Crusade, the Emperor asks Rogal Dorn and three of his brothers to expand the Imperium to the far side of the Northern Major Warp Storm. There they will encounter a foe the likes of which they have never been encountered before – will Dorn’s strategic genius be enough to ensure victory?
Rogal Dorn is easily one of the favorite Primarchs, so be sure to snag this book if you really want it or else you might miss it!
Blackstone Fortress: Ascension
Rogue Trader Janus Draik has been stripped of his titles and riches. With little left to lose, he heads deeper into the Blackstone Fortress in a last-ditch attempt to restore his fortunes. Blackstone Fortress: Ascension is the sequel to Blackstone Fortress and is coming out as an audiobook for the first time.
