Games Workshop Grand Narrative Finale Preview
This is what Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community had to say about them, along with our commentary on it as well!
There will be juicy reveals for Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, and Warhammer Underworlds. You can catch all the details on Saturday. Fair warning to our fans in the UK and Europe – you’re going to have to get up pretty early for this one… Tune in at 4am GMT on the 19th of November.
An 11 pm preview on a Friday night here in the states, what a time to be alive!
New World Eaters 40k Codex & Eightbound Models
First and foremost, yes, there is a huge Khorne World Eater release nearing the horizon. Meaning new models, rules, and lore! This preview added to the early previews we saw of Angron and Lord Invictus from earlier this year.
If you haven’t seen the video, be sure to check it out below. However, we’ll also break down everything right here as well!
The Eightbound
Virtually unrecognisable from the mortal Space Marines they once were, every member of the Eightbound is each possessed by eight (8!) separate daemons of Khorne. As you might expect, this makes them some of the most terrifying combatants in the galaxy – warriors locked in a constant battle for their own souls.
Ok, first of all, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, second, this fluff is insane, and these new World Eaters Eightbound models are sick to boot.
As Khorne is the defacto lover of melee, expect these new models to absolutely trash in close combat. Who even needs ranged weapons?
Sometimes the spirit of an Eightbound World Eater can even emerge triumphant, becoming one with the eight neverborn sharing its physical form. These are the Exalted Eightbound, even more dangerous and daemonic than others of their kind.
Jakhals
The World Eaters army isn’t just about the elite combat monsters of the Butcher Astartes. There are also new mortal followers in the form of Jakhals… who are combat monsters in their own right. These cultists are only slightly less deranged than their masters, and favour sheer brutality over tactical niceties such as “guns”.
Call me silly, but these look like Khorne-specific cultists! As WHC hints, these are probably even better at Khorne stuff than normal cultists (aka melee).
There is actually a ton of variety in these kits, so shoutout to the designers for giving them such dynamic and varied models. Speaking of which, there’s one special guy too…
This guy is big, so expect him to slap quite a bit harder than the other models in the squad.
Lord on Juggernaut
Lead your ground-shaking charge with the savage Lord on Juggernaut. Anything lucky enough to survive a sweep of his exalted chainblade will find itself impaled on the Juggernaut’s bladed horn.
That is pretty much what we expect from a model update. This guy is very similar to his previous self, but now looking better than ever! Games Workshop mentioned this is the generic build version of Lord Invocatus, as the kit makes two models.
World Eaters Codex Points Leaks
One great thing to note here is that all of these previews line up with the previous points leaks that we covered here.
What looked like a potential hoax is starting to have a bit more credibility with the Grand Narrative Finale preview now.
These come from the r/warhammer40k in clear violation of rule 2, “DO NOT post point values for weapons and upgrades in your army lists.”
So let’s check out some of the issues:
- The font looks off and not correct to what GW uses.
- There are no generic HQs, only named HQs etc.
- This is a PDF and not a real picture (like a picture of the book).
- Master of Executions is not in the right slot (this could just be a change in the new book).
- Jakhals are probably a cultist-type unit, but this doesn’t really fit in with anything we have seen.
- The unique units are all just kind of strange.
- Angron is really cheap compared to other Chaos armies.
- We thought they might have Red Butchers, but while there is no guarantee on that, it is concerning
- Angrons points seem “low”
So, as we said, there could still be plenty off on this one, so we wouldn’t take this for a fact just quite yet.
