The new 40k Daemons, the last of the Chaos releases, and more have come to pre-orders this weekend.
Get those hobby dollars ready if you want any of these pre-orders from Games Workshop that will go up for pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, August 20th, 2022, around 1 pm EST here in the states!
40k Daemons & Chaos Space Marines: FIRST LOOK
Next week is your week if you’ve been waiting for all the insane new Daemons rules to be official! Plus, the rest of the Chaos Space Marine stuff is finally hitting pre-order, so there is plenty to sink your teeth into.
Chaos Space Marines Accursed Cultists
There’s a new breed of cultists who are really feeling the power of Chaos – but not necessarily in a way that’s advantageous to their health and continued longevity. The Accursed Cultists are a nightmarish amalgam of mortal and daemon who act as a Troops choice for Chaos Space Marines.
These writhing creatures are some of the most grotesque models we’ve seen from GW in a while, and now they are available for the tabletop.
Chaos Space Marines Possessed
Of course, everything mortals can do, Heretic Astartes can do better – including inviting daemons into their bodies as corporeal cohabitors. The Possessed boast incredible speed and durability – their malleable forms grant them a 9″ Movement characteristic, Toughness 5, and 3 Wounds, making for some truly shocking shock troops. There are multiple build options in the set, and one can be constructed as a Possessed Champion.
In a slightly more tame approach, we’ve got updated Possessed, which looks fantastic!
Combat Patrol: Chaos Daemons
The daemonic onslaught intensifies, with a Combat Patrol set focused on Khorne. Get the blood flowing with this hefty collection of 34 miniatures, which can be built to reach a Power Level of up to 33 and get you gaming straight away. This Combat Patrol-sized force is led by a fearsome Bloodmaster, ably supported by three Bloodcrushers mounted on Juggernauts, 10 slavering Flesh Hounds, and 20 Bloodletters – making a spectacular basis for a Khornate horde.
Now moving to more exclusively Daemon models, this new combat patrol is a great start for any fans of Khorne’s Daemonic forces.
Codex: Chaos Daemons
Embrace your inner daemons with this comprehensive set of fiendish rules and infernal lore for using entire armies of otherworldly entities in games of Warhammer 40,000. Each of the four Ruinous Powers has their own collection of datasheets, plus Relics, Stratagems, Warlord Traits, and psychic powers (except for Khorne, of course), as well as Exalted Daemon upgrades and new Warp Storm powers. On top of that, there’s an Army of Renown for the Disciples of Be’lakor, who also get their own Stratagems and psychic discipline.
As with their 40k update, the new Codex features new and updated rules for any fans of daemonic-based forces. You can also pick it up in a limited Collectors edition version.
Chaos Daemons Dice
Infuse your rolls with the power of the warp with these Chaos Daemons dice. There are 20 six-sided dice in a fetching black-and-white swirl pattern, with the eight-pointed star of Chaos on the 6 face. The Chaos Daemons Datacards set has been very slightly delayed, meanwhile – but rest assured that it’s arriving soon.
Snotling Pitch and Dugouts
When you’re as bad at Blood Bowl as a Snotling team, home-field advantage is especially important. This set contains a high-quality double-sided cardboard pitch for Snotling teams – one ‘orrible muddy bog, and one spore-choked pitch with its own special rules included in the box. Those mushroom clouds can get unpleasant enough to force players off the pitch! You also get a similarly fungal set of dugouts.
Even if you aren’t a Snotling player, this board can provide a fun way to mix up your emersion in some Blood Bowl games!
Snotling Team Dice Set
Become the envy of all other tiny, barely-sapient greenskins everywhere with these especially snotty Snotling dice for Blood Bowl, which come in lime-green, yellow, and purple.
Show off your Snotling love with these themed dice.
Snotling Team Card Pack
Speaking of much-needed advantages, you can keep even more of them up your sleeve with this set of cards for Snotling teams. The Snotling Team Card Pack contains 44 cards in total, including positional cards, player cards, and 16 Special Play cards to try and hoodwink your opponent in numerous ways.
Keep track of your Snotling rules more easily, thanks to these cards!
