Two new Warhammer+ Plus miniatures are here for 2024; choose between 40k’s fierce Inquisitor Ostromandeus or AoS’s tactical duo, Marshal Ashfield and Squire Udo!
Warhammer+ Plus 2024 Miniatures: Inquisitor Ostromandeus vs. Marshal Ashfield & Squire Udo
When it comes to Warhammer+, the annual exclusive miniatures have become a bit like the Imperium’s finest: equal parts stylish, deadly, and just a touch eccentric. This year, subscribers are faced with a choice between two characters that perfectly capture the spirit of their respective worlds. On one side, we’ve got Inquisitor Ostromandeus, a grim enforcer who’s probably burned more heretics than he’s shaken hands. On the other, Marshal Ashfield and his grumpy, long-suffering squire Udo are here to show the Mortal Realms how to mix elegance with a healthy dose of pragmatism.
Inquisitor Ostromandeus: The Emperor’s Snarkiest Enforcer
In the shadowy corridors of the Imperium, where conspiracy theories are gospel and heretics outnumber recaf vendors, Inquisitor Ostromandeus strides with the confidence of someone who’s had to incinerate one too many cultists before his first meal of the day. This Ordo Hereticus operative doesn’t waste time. If you so much as whisper something heretical under your breath, he’s already making a dramatic entrance, an inferno pistol in one hand and a force sword itching to make an example out of someone.
But what makes Ostromandeus special in the sea of grimdark inquisitors? Well, let’s start with his gear. His armor is no mass-produced hand-me-down. It’s custom-fit with the latest in baroque chic—imposing, yes, but tailored just right so he can chase down the heretic scum in style. His trusty force sword gleams with barely-contained psychic fury, and that inferno pistol? It’s not just for show; it’s a personal invitation to rethink your life choices.
Of course, Ostromandeus doesn’t work alone. Meet Stentor-I-52, a walking loudspeaker who can unleash sermons that could crack a cathedral’s stained glass. There’s also the floating Vox Skull, hovering nearby to capture every stern monologue Ostromandeus delivers. Honestly, it’s more like a podcast for the damned. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be verbally berated by someone who can back it up with holy fire, Stentor-I-52 is here to give you that experience.
Marshal Ashfield and Squire Udo: A Dash of Regal, a Pinch of Reluctance
Over in the Mortal Realms, Marshal Ashfield is the poster child of battlefield elegance—if your idea of elegance includes heavy armor, a brace of pistols, and a perpetual look of determination. He’s not the type to lead from the back. Ashfield’s the kind of Freeguild Marshal who gets right into the thick of it, blade swinging and pistols blazing. The man’s got flair, alright—more decorations and medals than he knows what to do with, but he wears them like a second skin.
But let’s not forget Squire Udo, the unsung hero of this duo. While Ashfield might be front and center, rallying troops with a war cry, Udo’s back there mumbling to himself, lugging around every potion, unguent, and tincture you could imagine. He’s no greenhorn, either. Udo’s seen enough battles to know that enthusiasm fades, but grim determination (and a well-stocked kit) get you through the worst of it.
Unlike some wide-eyed recruits, Udo’s not in this for glory. He’s the grizzled sidekick, the one who’ll patch you up while telling you you’re a fool for getting hurt in the first place. And honestly? That’s the kind of support every commander needs—someone to keep them grounded while they’re busy swinging swords and shouting orders.
Marshal Ashfield might be the charismatic face, but Udo’s the unsung pragmatist that holds it all together. They’re a classic duo: one is the dashing hero, and the other is the guy making sure the hero doesn’t bleed out before the victory speech. Whether you’re new to the Cities of Sigmar or a hardened campaigner, this pair will bring a smile to your face and maybe even make you rethink what it means to be a hero in the Mortal Realms.
