This week’s pre-orders are here and so are the new Start Collecting Boxes and Blood Bowl bundles. Come find out the latest release from Games Workshop!
Start Collecting Beastclaw Raiders $85
Description
Harbingers of dark months and dead seasons, marauders who stalk through the frozen darkness, the ogor tribes of the Beastclaw Raiders are gargantuan creatures of strength and hunger. Unlike orruks or warriors of the Bloodbound they fight not for the thrill but for survival – battlefields are their hunting grounds, and when the foe lies cold and dead their bodies are harvested with a gluttonous fury, for it takes a truly staggering amount of meat to satisfy these massive, ravenous raiders. Constantly on the move, their nomadic way leaves behind naught but a wasteland of cracked ice and frozen bones – and their appetites drive them to every corner of every mortal realm.
This is a great-value box set that gives you an immediate collection of fantastic Beastclaw Raiders miniatures, which you can assemble and use right away in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar! You’ll receive:
– a Stonehorn – this can be assembled with a mounted Frostlord, Huskard or Beastriders, with chaintrap, frostspear and harpoon launchers as weapon options, or can be optionally assembled as a Thundertusk;
– a Mournfang Pack, made up of 4 ogors riding fearsome Mournfangs wielding a selection of ironlock pistols, culling clubs and prey hackers.
Included in the box is an exclusive Warscroll Battalion rules sheet – Loshar’s Frost Guard – allowing you to collect, assemble and play with your new miniatures right away!
Start Collecting! Fyreslayers $85
Description
Charging into battle without hesitation, screaming war cries at a cowering foe while hefting enormous war-axes, the Fyreslayers are the descendants of the shattered warrior god Grimnir. They bear runes of shining ur-gold hammered into their flesh – ur-gold which, they believe, contains the very essence of Grimnir himself, giving the incredible strength for which they are notorious. Their fury in combat and unbreakable oaths are legend, and their axes are feared – berserk warriors born for war, the Fyreslayers burn with Grimnir’s fury!
This is a great-value box set that gives you an immediate collection of fantastic Fyreslayer miniatures, which you can assemble and use right away in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar! You’ll receive:
– an Auric Runefather on Magmadroth, which can optionally be assembled as an Auric Runeson or Auric Runemaster on Magmadroth;
– an Auric Runesmiter armed with a choice of fyresteel throwing axe and runic iron;
– an Auric Runeson with fyresteel throwing axe and wyrmslayer javelins;
– and a set of 10 Vulkite Berserkers, featuring fyresteel handaxes, war-picks and bladed slingshields, with one assemblable as a Karl, with ornate fyresteel handaxe or war-pick.
Included in the box is an exclusive Warscroll Battalion rules sheet – Hajkarl’s Sons of Fortune – allowing you to collect, assemble and play with your new miniatures right away!
Start Collecting! Daemons of Slaanesh $85
Description
Mortals still indulge their desire and obsessions beyond all sense of decency, and glory in forbidden excess – and while such horrors persist, so too will the followers of Slaanesh. Where once the Dark Prince compelled his subjects to greater depths of depravity, his greater daemons now rule in his stead. Champions of Slaanesh, however, still grow in power, gaining dark blessings and gifts…
This is a great-value box set that gives you an immediate collection of fantastic Daemons of Slaanesh miniatures, which you can assemble and use right away in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar! You’ll receive:
– an Exalted Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh, with 4 claw-armed Daemonettes either atop the chariot or riding the horned beasts that pull it;
– a set of 5 Seekers of Slaanesh, featuring ten different Daemonette heads, two different Slaanesh icons, and a host of other optional components;
– 10 Daemonettes of Slaanesh, armed with piercing claws, featuring a host of extra part and accessories for customisation.
Included in the box is an exclusive Warscroll Battalion rules sheet – Cavalcade of Excess – allowing you to collect, assemble and play with your new miniatures right away!
Scarscrag Snivellers Collection $97.50
Description
WEBSTORE EXCLUSIVE
The Scarcrag Snivellers made a decision a long time ago to make an attempt at playing Blood Bowl without all the sneaky tricks employed by most Goblin teams. Eleven Goblins line up at the start of the match – no Trolls, no Secret Weapons – and do their very best to last at least a couple of drives before they’re stomped into the ground. Bizarrely, this doesn’t always end as badly for them as it probably should, and somehow the Scarcrag Snivellers seem to make it from season to season without being utterly wiped out…
This bundle is one for the Goblin fans – it has it all!. In it, you’ll find the Scarcrag Snivellers team – 12 multi-part Goblins, featuring 6 pairs of unique bodies and 7 pairs of unique heads, meaning no two Goblin teams need look alike! There are also 6 Goblin team balls, featuring the kind of dirty tricks the Scarcrag Snivellers frown upon – 2 deflated, 2 with Goblins stuck in them and 2 stuffed with dynamite – 2 turn counters and 2 double-sided team tokens.
There’s also a Blood Bowl Troll, a plastic miniature that gives the Goblins some much-needed muscle, and a Goblin Team dice set in the colours of the Scarcrag Snivellers:
3 Blood Bowl Block dice
2 6-sided dice
1 eight-sided die
1 16-sided die.Supplied with 13 32mm Blood Bowl bases and a 1,000,000 gold piece roster, including 8 (eight!) team re-rolls and Fan Factor 4!
The Gouged Eye Collection $72.50
Description
WEBSTORE EXCLUSIVE
Dey are Orcs and dat’s no lie…
Once a laughing stock, the Gouged Eye has employed filthy tactics, brute force and lots of punching to rise through the ranks to become big players in the upper echelons of Blood Bowl. They’ve won the title before, and they can do it again – a far cry from the early days of the team, when it was a miracle if their throwers were facing the right way.
Hopefully you’ll point the miniatures in this bundle the right way, and spur them on to glory – 12 ‘orrible plastic Orc Blood Bowl players – 2 blitzers, 2 throwers, 2 Black Orc blockers and 6 linemen. As well as that, there’s a Blood Bowl Troll, a hefty beast lovingly rendered in multi-part plastic, and a set of Blood Bowl dice in the colours of The Gouged Eye:
3 Blood Bowl Block dice
2 6-sided dice
1 eight-sided die
1 16-sided die.Supplied with extra balls, team counters, a decal sheet covered in Orc symbols and 13 32mm Blood Bowl round bases, featuring holes to slot the ball into when your miniature has possession.
Reikland Reavers Collection $65.50
Description
WEBSTORE EXCLUSIVE
Known during their first few seasons as the Altdorf Acolytes, the team who became the Reikland Reavers quickly established a reputation for their great skill and ability on the pitch. Some judicious transfer decisions, helped by the impressively deep pockets of original owner DD Griswell Snr., has seen the team rise to the top during their long life. Now, with DD’s great-grandson JJ Griswell Jr. at the helm, the Reikland Reavers are probably the finest all-round team in the world.
This bundle nets you the Reikland Reavers team, a hardy Ogre to play alongside them and a set of Reikland Reavers Dice. You’ll receive the plucky Reikland Reavers team – 2 blitzers, 2 throwers, 2 catchers and 6 linemen – a Blood Bowl Ogre and a set of dice in the colours of the Reikland Reavers:
3 Blood Bowl Block dice
2 6-sided dice
1 eight-sided die
1 16-sided die.Supplied with turn markers, extra balls, and 13 Citadel 32mm Round bases featuring holes to keep the ball in.
Skavenblight Scramblers Collection $47.50
Description
WEBSTORE EXCLUSIVE
The only team to have ever won the Blood Bowl trophy two years on the run (Blood Bowl XVII and XVIII, fact fans,) the Skavenblight Scramblers are at least a bit legendary. They’ve had a run of bad luck since then, but since the recent appointment of their new head coach Sandch Blackpelt, they’ve seen a new lease of life. Being Skaven, they naturally have a love for absolute, mindless violence, and their recent uptick in confidence and aggression has seen them elected Team of the Year 2493 in Spike! Magazine. Perhaps another trophy is within their grasp…
This is the best way to field some Skaven on the Blood Bowl pitch – you get the Skavenblight Scramblers, and a set of appropriately-coloured dice to cheer them on with! The colour of the dice definitely matters, and is proven by Nuffle to bring you better results*.
You’ll receive 2 Blitzers, 2 Throwers, 2 Gutter Runners and 6 Linemen, and a roster sheet, along with a set of dice in the Skavenblight Scramblers’ colours:
3 Blood Bowl Block dice
2 6-sided dice
1 eight-sided die
1 16-sided die.Supplied with turn markers, extra balls, and 12 Citadel 32mm Round bases featuring holes to keep the ball in.
*absolutely none of that is true
