lair-of-the-beast-new-releaseThe Lair of the Beast calls as the new Warhammer 40k Combat Arena has finally dropped over on the Barnes and Noble site!

From Necrons to massive beasts, it’s always exciting to see where the combat arena will take place.  This time around, in addition to your other opponents, there’s a huge Ambull standing between you and sweet victory in the lair of the beast!

Combat Arena: Lair of the Beast Finally Drops at Barnes & Noble

Combat Arena box

Graceful aliens, sturdy robots, and genetically-enhanced super-soldiers have been tossed into an arena to fight to the death. To ensure maximum carnage, there’s also a massive, frenzied beast to take on! Team up with your rivals to eliminate the threat, but be careful… Only one champion can ultimately win the match.

Assorted minis for Combat Arena

Choose wisely from 10 unique fighters – will you opt for a deadly duellist, a pair of seasoned military grunts, or a religious zealot armed with fire and blind faith? Every fighter has their own strengths and weaknesses, and you’ll need to learn them all to survive. Will you focus on taking down the hulking Ambull and its ravenous spawn, or hang back and pick off your weakened adversaries one by one?
