Anasta Malkorion, the New Warhammer Day 2021 exclusive, actually has a pet dragon option!
We actually spotted the Primaris Lieutenant With Storm Shield in the wild a few months ago but weren’t sure (at the time) if it was just going to be another Blade Guard or a separate offering.
Looks like GW just couldn’t live without another Lieutenant though, so now we’re getting this guy soon! Vampire Lord Anasta Malkorion will be filling the spot for AoS (obviously also the one with the dragon), with Warhammer Day taking place on October 30th.
Warhammer Community just unveiled the new minis and a teaser for a new preview coming on the 30th. Let’s check out the new minis!
Warhammer Day 2021 Exclusive Minis Revealed
Warhammer Day returns once again on the 30th of October 2021. We’re marking this momentous day with not one, but two incredible commemorative edition miniatures and an absolutely massive online preview of some of the major releases slated for the rest of 2021 – and beyond.
Warhammer Community revealed there will be two new minis but also a Warhammer preview, meaning some of the big rumors we’ve been seeing might actually get confirmed.
Who doesn’t need another Lieutenant in their army? Well, if you’re already overflowing, get used to it we guess…?
Phwoar. This Primaris Lieutenant With Storm Shield will be joined by the Vampire Lord Anasta Malkorion, with both miniatures available for a strictly limited time starting on Warhammer Day itself, the 30th of October, until the 7th of November. Anasta Malkorion will be available in stores and online, but you’ll only be able to acquire our brave Lieutenant from Games-Workshop.com.
It’s definitely a little disappointing stores won’t have the Space Marine, but at least they will get one mini. Plus, you’ll have a full week to order. We hope they MTO these, so they don’t skyrocket on the secondary market. Warhammer Community showed the dragon option recently on their Instagram!
Looks like GW has finally figured out everyone loves pets, who would have guessed it?
New Warhammer Day Preview
We’d love to tell you more about what’ll be revealed in the live stream we’ve been cooking up for the day itself, but that’d ruin the surprise. Suffice it to say that there’s a mind-boggling amount of stuff to show you.
This is all they said about the preview, but there is generally a lot of stuff revealed for Black Friday and beyond.
