Curseling
Next up, the two new character models from the Arcane Cataclysm box are releasing separately! Unfortunately, these releases are delayed in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
While the Scinari Enlightener is a pure wizard, the Curseling is also pretty handy in a fight (as you might expect from someone with that many extra hands).
The new plastic Curseling was originally available in the Arcane Cataclysm boxed set, facing down the learned Lumineth. They arrive solo next week – or at least as solo as this mighty warrior-wizard can be, given the spell-slinging Tretchlet that sprouts from their side.
The Curseling is just a wild-looking miniature in general but he fits right in alongside the Disciples of Tzeentch models.
Scinari Enlightener
For those who prefer your magic with a side serving of luminous arrogance, the Scinari Enlightener is joining the ranks of the Lumineth Realm-lords. Wielding immense magical power, she burns her enemies off the face of the Mortal Realms, and is available separately for the first time.*
* These releases are delayed in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
The model itself is pretty cool but nothing too crazy, honestly. Still, nothing wrong with getting a new miniature for your army.
The first expansion for Warcry is here with the Sundered Fate box set featuring two new warbands! Unfortunately, all of the Warcry products this week are delayed in Japan.
Warcry: Sundered Fate
The stone-skinned cultists of the Jade Obelisk are on a mission to deface every statue and eviscerate every still-beating heart in the Gnarlwood, an act of desecration with which the stealthy scaled guardians in the Hunters of Huanchi take umbrage.
The stone-skinned cultists of the Jade Obelisk are on a mission to deface every statue and eviscerate every still-beating heart in the Gnarlwood, an act of desecration with which the stealthy scaled guardians in the Hunters of Huanchi take umbrage.
This boxed set contains 23 miniatures and a hefty heap of terrain, including creepy Gnarloaks, rope bridges, scattered ruins, palisades, extended platforms and a new hollow refuge. There’s also a double-sided gaming board, the Stealth and Stone warband tome, and Fighter and Ability cards for both warbands, and a set of Battleplan cards for setting up games. You’ll need the Warcry core rules to play – these can be found in the Warcry: Core Book, and are also available to download for free.**
The new Hunters of Huanchi are packed with new scaly miniatures, while the Cultists of the Jade Obelisk are a new take on the traditional Chaos warband.
Ravaged Lands: Gnarlwood Watchcamp
Available separately this week are the warbands from the Heart of Ghur box set, along with the terrain as well.
If you missed them or wanted to save money and buy them a’la carte, then now is the time to reap that hobby dollar savings.
Returning Warcry Warbands
These updated boxes don’t include Fighter or Ability cards – all the rules you need are now available as a free download. And with rules for fielding these warriors in Warhammer Age of Sigmar as well as Warcry, it’d be silly not to grab a few.
Making a return, as just miniature boxes (the rules are in the Rot and Ruin book) are all the original Warcry warbands and monsters.
Warcry Dice Packs
There are four dice packs coming, each themed around a Warband from the current season – the Horns of Hashut, the Rotmire Creed, the Hunters of Huanchi, and the Jade Obelisk. With a warband symbol for a 6 and three colour combos in each set, these dice are perfect for when you need to rub in just how lucky you were to have rolled a quad
Lastly, dice packs for the current season of Warcry are also here. Choose from these four dice packs to customize your games in the Heart of Ghur!
