Battletome Flesh-Eater Courts: Pre-Order
- Regular Edition: $60 CAD$70 £37 €47.50
- Gamers’ Edition: $100 CAD$120 (Gamers’ Edition Only Available Directly From Games Workshop)
The Flesh-eater Courts are back, still haunting crumbling castles and stinking mansions, and still parading around like they’re highborn knights instead of slobbering cannibals with a taste for femur tartare.
The new 98-page battletome overhauls their battle traits, gifting their heroes potent delusions that shape the actions of their slavering followers. It’s stuffed with background lore, warscrolls, army rules, a brand-new Spearhead, Regiments and Armies of Renown, and some royal-themed Path to Glory content.
For gamers who like things compact, the Gamer’s Edition includes all of the above plus 52 reference cards, but will vanish faster than an unattended roast leg in the court of Ushoran.
High Falconer Felgryn: $40 CAD$50 £25 €32.50
Felgryn is a troublemaker who’s somehow become a local legend. He steals from the Flesh-eater pantries, talks to beasts like they’re old drinking buddies, and now has the job of hunting down Skaven.
His falcon Grype is technically a rotating cast of entirely different birds, but Felgryn’s delusion insists it’s the same one. Whatever the truth, they make quite the pair.
Spearhead Charnel Watch: $145 CAD$175 £87.50 €115
Every cursed kingdom needs border patrol, and the Charnel Watch have the job. This pack has an Abhorrant Gorewarden, three Crypt Horrors, three Crypt Flayers, and a Royal Beastflayers unit complete with Flaymaster and his pair of drooling Offal Hounds.

The Scarlet Jury: $90 CAD$110 £55 €70
Meet the most nightmarish “legal” team around. The Scarlet Jury don’t just pass judgment, they carry out the sentence on the spot. Led by Grand Justice Gormayne, this Regiment of Renown comes with 10 Cryptguard and a Royal Decapitator.
Flesh-eater Courts Warscroll Cards, and Dice
- Warscroll Cards: $35 CAD$41 £20.50 €26
- Dice Pre-Order: $33.50 CAD$38 £19 €24
Why fumble for rules when you could stay deep in your royal daydream? This set has 40 quick-reference cards, including warscrolls, delusions, and Spearhead rules.
The matching dice are blood-red with grey pips and a faction icon on the six, perfect for making every roll feel that little bit grimmer.
Battletome Nighthaunt Pre-Order
- Regular Edition: $60 CAD$70 £37 €47.50
- Gamers’ Edition: $100 CAD$120 (Gamers’ Edition Only Available Directly From Games Workshop)
Nagash’s ghostly hit squad is back with a fresh set of tricks. The 106-page battletome rebuilds their rules, giving these chain-rattling nightmares the ability to teleport, terrify enemies, chip away at control scores, and refill units via Nexus of Grief terrain.
It also comes packed with lore, warscrolls, a new Spearhead, Regiments and Armies of Renown, and Path to Glory content.
The Gamer’s Edition offers all that in a smaller book with 52 reference cards, perfect for slipping into a coat pocket, assuming your coat isn’t incorporeal.
Lord Vitriolic: $40 CAD$50 £25 €32.50
Ever wonder what happens to quack healers and snake-oil merchants after Nagash gets them? They come back as a Lord Vitriolic, obsessed with brewing deadly elixirs. Sometimes the mix is tailored to melt a specific enemy, other times it’s whatever bottle’s closest to hand. Either way, expect armour to corrode and spirits to wither.
Knight of Shrouds: $38 CAD$48
- Only Available Directly From Games Workshop
Once, they were generals who betrayed their own to save themselves. Now, they’re spectral commanders wielding the Sword of Stolen Hours, draining life and rallying allies for an immediate follow-up attack.
The Knight of Shrouds is now available solo for those who like their leaders equal parts tragic and terrifying.
Spearhead Cursed Shacklehorde: $145 CAD$175 £87.50 €115
This hunting party includes a Spirit Torment with Chainghasts, 10 Bladegheist Revenants, 10 Dreadscythe Harridans, and two Dreadblade Harrows. They’re here to drag enemy souls to their eternal prison, and they don’t take “no” for an answer.

Nighthaunt Warscroll Cards and Dice
- Warscroll Cards: $35 CAD$41 £20.50 €26
- Dice Pre-Order: $33.50 CAD$38 £19 €24
Keep Nagash’s curse of endless bookkeeping at bay with 42 reference cards for warscrolls, plus rules for the Cursed Shacklehorde and Slasher Host. The dice are turquoise with white pips and a faction logo on the six, which makes landing those ward saves just a bit sweeter.
