GW revealed the latest new Black Library, including some iconic characters and even some Forge World Horus Heresy pre-orders for this week!
Keep tabs on your favorite factions and characters from the worlds of Warhammer with the latest new release Black Library pre-orders.
Clade Venenum Assassin
The Officio Assassinorum dispatches a trio of new agents, starting with the Clade Venenum Assassin. These master alchemists concoct virulent poisons in the field, tailoring their venom for maximum lethality towards a chosen target, and boast the highest success record among all Assassin Clades.
The model itself is actually pretty cool, and there is nothing wrong with adding more assassins to the ranks.
Vanus Infocyte Assassin
Clade Vanus Infocytes turn the enemy’s datasphere against them, intercepting communications and corrupting signals to misdirect and eliminate their foes. Unlucky targets may find their own side’s weapons turned against them, and few infiltrators can escape the notice of these exemplary datasmiths.
There are plenty of really cool details on the model and who is going to complain about more assassins?
Clade Adamus Assassin
The Adamus Clade is believed to be the oldest of the Assassinorum orders, using pure martial ability and intense study of their targets to decapitate the enemy war effort in a single violent strike. They’re absolute blenders in melee combat, able to butcher just about anyone with their nemesii blades.
When he whips that sword out, you are probably in for some serious trouble.
Solar Auxilia Tank Crew
Add some extra firepower to your Solar Auxilia tanks with a pack of three resin crew upgrades, featuring two pintle-mounted multi-lasers and a pintle-mounted heavy flamer.
You can always use some extra guns to fight the forces of chaos!
Solar Auxilia Surgeon-Primus Aevos Jovan and Medicae Orderlies
Although a genius physician to the nobility, Aevos Jovan was nevertheless imprisoned for his research into unsanctioned medical techniques. Given a reprieve by the Lord Marshal, he now brings his incredible surgical skills to the battlefield, patching up Auxilia even as the bolt shells whiz by.
This set contains Jovan, his staff of two medical orderlies, and an unfortunate wounded soldier strapped to an auto-gurney – all cast in highly detailed Forge World resin.
These are actually really cool and even if you don’t play them in HH, they could be used for a ton of cool dioramas and such.
Solar Auxilia Rapier Batteries
Rapier Battery units provide fire support to Solar Auxilia armies, allowing rapid redeployment of heavy firepower. Rapier Batteries can be fielded with light armour-shredding gravis multi lasers or versatile quad launchers able to fire an assortment of high explosive shells. Each resin battery kit comes with two crew, and can be included en-masse, forming Tercios capable of devastating firepower.
Humans can’t expect to do much against chaos without some serious firepower backing them up!
Iron Hands Upgrades- MTO
Making your Iron Hands look like true sons of Medusa isn’t just about giving their gauntlets a quick coat of Iron Hands Steel. Grab some shoulder pads for your Mark II, Mark IV, and Cataphractii Terminators, and some Mark III torsos for your X Legion warriors.
The upgrade packs are always cool but keep in mind, these are MTO so they will take a while to get to you.
Night Lords Upgrades
Hot on the heels of the reveal of the Night Lords Mark VI upgrade kits, comes a range of classic parts for your VIII Legion miniatures. Upgrade your Mark II and Mark III Space Marines with shoulder pads, and your Mark IV troops with torsos. If you don’t, the Night Haunter will be coming for you.
These will also be MTO but who doesn’t love some skulls with bat wings?
Shadowsun: The Patient Hunter
The ice-cold Commander Shadowsun returns in a new novel by Phil Kelly. As the Death Guard attack the Starside Nexus, can Shadowsun find a way to defeat them and their daemonic patrons, and can she prevent her Kroot allies from starting a civil war? Shadowsun: The Patient Hunter will be available first as a limited edition hardback – make sure you act fast, as there will only be 2,000 copies available.
It’s always cool to see the Xenos perspective on things!
