Talk about a sweet mini! A massive gun mounted on top of a loyal squig and a giant hammer to boot? Ufthak is here to lay down the hurt!
Packing his ded ‘urty Snazzhammer and his loyal squig Princess to balance his blasta on, Ufthak is a beast of a Warboss who lives up to his reputation as the ‘Gargantsmasha’.
A squig-delivered weapon has to be the best thing since sliced bread. Clearly, with a name like “Princess,” Ufthak agrees.
Da Big Dakka Retail Price: $30 CAD$35

Out of options, Ufthak leads his Waaagh! through the mysterious webway, to a place where kunnin’, sneakin’, and thinkin’ are the name of the game. A place with little truck for muscle and brawn – Commorragh, the Dark City.
Here, where kabals and haemonculus covens pump psychic viscera into the warp, Ufthak is thrown into gladiatorial combat and soon finds himself up against an archon who will stop at nothing to prove she deserves to rule the Dark City – even if it means bringing Commorragh down around her.
But the Drukhari are about to discover that while orks may be simple, very little about them is ever straightforward.

Ork books are pretty good, and Brutal Kunnin’ was great! So this story following that should also be pretty dope!

Black Library has been telling stories set in the various worlds of Warhammer for more than two decades. During this time, the heroes and villains of these dark and gritty settings have been immortalised through rich, dynamic illustrations. Here, for the first time, is a specially curated collection of Warhammer artwork from across Black Library’s Horus Heresy and Siege of Terra series.
Within, you’ll find detailed commentary on the creation and realisation of some of the greatest pieces of art ever committed to novel covers. This book offers over 200 pieces of full-colour artwork, with notes about the artistic choices made during the design process, depicting many fan-favourite characters and events. Inside, you’ll also find a brand new reimagining of the classic cover for the New York Times bestselling novel False Gods.
The Horus Heresy has so much fantastic art, and this book is the place to eye up most of it.

On the remote world of Cybele, the Adeptus Astartes of the Blood Angels Chapter are fighting a losing battle against the forces of Chaos. Yet as Battle-brother Arkio leads a counter-attack that has the enemy reeling, there is sudden talk that this is a holy sign. Does the spirit of Sanguinius indeed bless Arkio, or is the turmoil for the Blood Angels just beginning?
Written by James Swallow.
This 20th anniversary edition of the classic novel includes internal artwork, a deluxe foiled cover, and an introduction by the author.

There is something in Evtorr’s ravings that piques Drekki’s interest and that he can’t let go – the Dead Air is the last known location of the famed Barak-Minoz. If they can just get there… Well, Drekki Flynt can smell aether-gold a realm off, and surely Barak-Minoz is dripping with riches just ripe for the taking.
But there are forces at work that would stop Drekki from finding out what happened to Barak-Minoz. To even locate it, he must do what no captain has ever done before – navigate the Eye of Testudinous, and live to tell the tale!
Written by Guy Haley.

In the Chaos-infested wastes, the strongest of friendships can easily be manipulated into the deadliest of rivalries. Far to the north of the Empire lies the dreaded Chaos Wastes, a dark landscape permeated by the corrupting magic of Chaos and home to the servants of the Dark Gods. Standing between this gateway to hell and the civilised world lies the frozen land of Kislev, bastion against the rising tide of evil. Two Empire soldiers get their first taste of battle as they join the campaign to repel the savage Northern Tribes. As the winter draws in, the last major battle sees their destinies thrown into turmoil as circumstances tear them apart and throw them onto opposite sides. Such is the mutating power in this dark and terrible land that the strongest of friends can soon become the bitterest of enemies. As they race towards a final cataclysmic showdown the fate of their souls will be sealed forever.

Young Interrogator Mita Ashyn struggles to prove herself worthy to her master despite her growing feelings of unease at the hypocrisy within the Inquisition. When they visit the remote and sunless hive-world of Equixus, she suspects nothing more than minor corruption and heresy. Night Lords Commander Sahaal has been in exile for ten thousand years, plotting to defeat his treacherous rival Acerbus and once again rule over his dark army. To do this he must find an ancient artefact that was stolen from him, and nothing – not even the Inquisition – will stand in his way.

Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh! Retail Price: $9.99 CAD$11.99
Click here to find yours from these retailers:| Amazon | Games Workshop’s Store
Of the billions of greenskins who swarm the galaxy, the name of one strikes fear into the hearts of human and xenos alike – Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.
The Warlord of Warlords.
The Beast of Armageddon.
The Prophet of the Waaagh!
With his tusks, fists, and power claw, he does the holy work of Gork and Mork – and soon all worlds will burn in his footprints.
Mystery shrouds the origins of such a beast. Rumours abound that the mighty warlord was once just like any other ork – but if that is the case, how did he rise from a lowly lad to the biggest of bosses? Many have lost their minds trying to unravel the secrets behind his rise, and Lord Inquisitor Tytonida Falx is no different. She has headed into the murky depths of heresy to find the answer – but this time, something is different. This time, she has something the others did not. She has custody of the one creature in the universe who claims to know the truth of it all – Ghazghkull’s banner bearer: Makari the Grot.
Written by Nate Crowley.
