Arcane Cataclysm

Arcane Cataclysm

The next Warhammer Age of Sigmar battlebox features the Lumineth Realm-lords taking on the Disciples of Tzeentch in a battle for control of the winds of magic. The box includes two brand new miniatures – the Scinari Enlightener can share her pain with her enemies while the updated Curseling is a potent fusion (literally) of warrior and mage.

Scinari Enlightener and Curseling

Arcane Cataclysm includes five Vanari Bladelords, five Vanari Dawnriders, 10 Vanari Auralan Sentinels, three Tzaangor Enlightened on Discs of Tzeentch, 10 Tzaangors, and 20 Kairic Acolytes. Either force is a great way to kick off a new army or add to an existing one. Finally, the box also includes a campaign booklet with lore and rules, a 56-page Core Rules book, a token sheet, and warscroll cards for the units.

As usual, a big pull for this box is going to be the value and the two new models! So if you really need the models or wanted to start either of these factions, this box is a great entry point.

Deathmaster

Deathmaster

First hidden in the shadows of the Echoes of Doom Battlebox, the skaven Deathmaster is an expert assassin. These ruthless rodents can hide in another skaven unit before leaping out and attacking with their weeping blade, which can dish out lashings of mortal wounds.

Coming out as a new individual release, you can pick up this sneaky rat for your Skaven forces.

The Lady of Vines

The Lady of Vines

Lead your Sylvaneth into battle with the demi-god daughter of Alarielle herself. The Lady of Vines can cut down her foes with her massive spear, Kurnotheal’s Wrath, can summon Dryads, and is a potent magic user to boot. She’s also a fantastic painting challenge thanks to her varied textures, symbols, and motifs.

Krondspine Incarnate of Ghur

Krondspine Incarnate of Ghur

When the Realm of Beasts gets angry, it gets VERY angry. The Krondspine Incarnate is a creation of pure Ghurish energy that any army can field in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. It’s deadly to enemy units, and it can even devour Endless Spells!

Just like other offerings this week, this is a new individual release, so if you were waiting to be able to buy it without the full box, now is your chance.

Cleansing Aqualith

Cleansing Aqualith

Floating fountains aren’t just the preserve of the Lumineth Realm-lords anymore! Fresh water is crucial to the Dawnbringer Crusades, making the Cleansing Aqualith an ideal piece of scenery to fight over – will you defend it, or will your outpost be doomed to thirst?

With this terrain, you can begin to make a table fit for Sigmar’s finest.

Megadroth Remains

Megadroth Remains

Finally, another kit from the Realmscape: Thondian Strongpoint box will be available to pre-order separately from Saturday. The Megadroth Remains are a great way to finish off a Ghur-themed battlefield with the bones of a mighty beast for your armies to fight over.

This simple piece makes for a great terrain piece for the realm of beasts and a decently fun and simple painting challenge.

Centaurion Marshal

Centaurion Marshal

Warcry: Heart of Ghur hit shelves yesterday, and the first reinforcements are already approaching the Gnarlwood. The Centaurion Marshal is an Ally that any Chaos warband can field. Armed with a devastating quartet of gladiatorial weapons, they can also join your Slaves to Darkness army for Warhammer Age of Sigmar with a free warscroll, which we’ll be giving away on Warhammer Community this week.

In a twist for Warcry, this larger model takes the stage as an imposing force.

Chaos Legionnaires

Chaos Legionnaires

The chosen of Be’lakor march into the heart of Ghur in the name of their dark master. These elite Chaos fighters hit hard and can take a real beating. Along with eight new miniatures, this set includes the fighter and ability cards to use in games of Warcry – and like the Centaurion, they’ll also be getting Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules.

These new models are unique and might just be good in AoS too, keep your eyes peels in the coming week for their AoS rules!

Warcry Compendium

Warcry Compendium

The Warcry Compendium pulls together the fighter profiles and faction abilities for warbands from Grand Alliance Order, Grand Alliance Destruction, Grand Alliance Death, and Grand Alliance Chaos in a single grand tome. With over 800 profiles to reference in your games, it’s an ideal guide to using your Warhammer Age of Sigmar miniatures in Warcry.

This book is a key product if you’ve wanted to play Warcry but didn’t want to pick up new models! Play with any faction you want now thanks to these rules.
