New Angron, World Eaters & Battleforces: FIRST LOOK
It’s been a long time since we saw these revealed, so it’s nice to finally be able to pre-order them! Just keep in mind it looks like the Chaos Boarding Patrol (with Abaddon) won’t come out in this wave, but hopefully, we see it soon.
Arks of Omen: Angron
This tome features everyone’s favourite anger management crisis getting stuck into the planet Malakbael. With nearly all of Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quartus to smash through, and the Grey Knights rallying to banish Angron once again, the Daemon Primarch has a tough fight ahead.
Alongside plenty of new lore advancing the storyline, this book contains further rules for the Boarding Actions, including unique upgrades for Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, World Eaters, Grey Knights, Astra Militarum, and Orks Boarding Patrols.
Continue with the path of the Warmaster, this time with the plans regarding Angron and his World Eaters carving a blood path.
Angron, Daemon Primarch of Khorne
The eponymous hero of Arks of Omen: Angron is finally here to drench your local battlefield in buckets of blood, with an awe-inspiring model and rules only slightly less effective than feeding your opponent’s models into a wood chipper. This massive miniature is packed with incredible detail, from the finely wrought weapons to the piles of skulls at his feet, and comes with two head options so you can represent Angron bellowing with rage or shortly before bellowing with rage.
Angron is insane, and he will be an absolute beast on the field, without a doubt. Plus, that model is everything we hoped it would be!
If you’re planning on picking up the book and the model at the same time, an exclusive art print bundle will net you the excellent artwork seen on the cover of Arks of Omen: Angron – but only while stocks last.
This art is sick, and hey, if you’re getting both, why not get the bundle for a freebie too?
Codex: World Eaters (Collector’s Edition is GW Exclusive)
Even the mightiest Daemon Primarch needs a cohort of like-minded warriors to lead into battle, and the World Eaters want nothing more than to match their gene-father’s prodigious murder count. Codex: World Eaters marks the first time the fragmented XII Legion have been their own standalone faction, and they make good use of the opportunity with characterful Blood Tithe rules, plenty of new datasheets, and stacks of lore.
Of course, there is not much of an update without a brand-new codex packed with tons of new rules!
Lord Invocatus
Lead the World Eaters on the charge with Lord Invocatus, a named warlord who plunges into battle from the burning skies atop his personal Juggernaut mount Khal’guruth. His artificer chain-axe, Coward’s Bane, reaps a tremendous tally of skulls, and if the force of Khorne’s Thunderbolt isn’t a fit for your warband, you can also assemble this miniature as a regular Khorne Lord on Juggernaut.
Lord Invocatus is the World Eater equivalent of Haarken from the Black Legion. He is a high-ranking character with an amazing model and will most likely help out your other troops nearby.
Exalted Eightbound
As the elite of the World Eaters warbands, the possessed warriors known as Eightbound are mountains of muscle and bad attitude, channelling daemonic power into acts of extreme violence. This pack of three miniatures can build either a regular Eightbound unit equipped with eviscerators, or a band of supercharged Exalted Eightbound whose chainfists can scythe apart Terminators in a single swing.
The Eightbound are a sweet new kit, and they are sure to dominate in melee combat. Plus, you get two different model variants and datasheet options with them!
Khorne Berzerkers
Flood the battlefield with Khorne Berzerkers, the raging foot soldiers of the World Eaters legion. This unit of 10 Berzerkers is a close combat powerhouse, the perfect core for any World Eaters army.
The Berserkers finally got their new kit, and it looks amazing! Khorne players rejoice!
Jakhals
Jakhals are brutal human cultists pumped with combat stims and eight drops of the warp-infused blood of true World Eaters, turning them into furious melee machines with no regard for their own lives. They’re effective fighters in their own right, and throw themselves into enemy guns for a chance to please their murderous god.
These new all-in-melee cultists are sweet and will probably do pretty well if they aren’t over-costed!
World Eaters Datacards & Dice Set
Spruce up your World Eaters collection with a set of handy reference datacards for your important rules and stratagems, and a pack of 15 thematic dice cast in swirly red plastic with gold pips and the World Eaters logo on the six face.
Show off your commitment and learn the new rules faster with these dice and cards.
Balefleet Battleforce
While Angron’s hordes sweep across the galaxy, the rest of the traitor Astartes aren’t just sitting around, and the Balefleets continue their search for Abaddon’s mysterious relics. This powerful elite force comprises 10 Possessed, five Chaos Terminators, a Heldrake, and the new Daemon Prince, all fully capable of slaughtering entire units of enemy warriors.
Lean a little bit into the Daemonic side and pick up this battleforce for a good addition to Chaos Space Marines.
Boarding Patrol: Space Marines
In the brand new Boarding Actions format, compact armies battle through cramped corridors and treacherous corners. New and upcoming Boarding Patrol boxes give you a diverse selection of models to form effective and characterful armies.
Boarding Patrol: Space Marines contains a Captain in Gravis Armour, 10 Assault Intercessors, and five Heavy Intercessors, making a capable close-quarters force with plenty of firepower and durability for sticky situations.
