It comes with a two sided thick vinyl game play mat, and the box that slides out and holds the contents can be flipped upside down and used as a piece of terrain. I guess this isn’t just one you’ll be throwing away after ripping into it.

The Box Becomes Terrain, Somebody is thinking at GW for sure now!

The models are push fit, and come in colored plastic, instead of the standard grey we’re used to seeing. The Khorne Bloodbound is coming in red, while the Stormcast are made out of a nice gold. Quite possibly making painting a bit easier…

Recolored AoS Starter Sprues look to be in our future! All in all this was a just quick look at the new box set. It will be available sometime during the summer, and it won’t be at a special event or anything, it’ll be released with other standard weekly releases.

GAMA Trade Show is just starting, so be sure to stay tuned for all the latest updates.
