GW Reveals New Black Library Celebration Pre-Order
Games Workshop has announced its latest pre-order releases, including short stories from Black Library, and new Legions Imperialis. The Great Slaughter, the first campaign expansion book for Legions Imperialis, is also available for pre-order. Additionally, there are new Solar Auxilia and Legiones Astartes Support sets, Malcador Infernus and Valdor Tank Destroyers, and Spartan Assault Tanks. Lastly, Black Library eShort Week is here to deliver bite-sized literary reads.
Reinforcements arrive for Warhammer 40,000, Kill Team, and Legions Imperialis in this week’s Sunday Preview, including a hefty contingent of Space Marines. Then, stick around for the first Legions Imperialis campaign book and the latest eShort Week short story subscription. And then there’s the small matter of a new Battlescroll for Warhammer Age of Sigmar…
Legions Imperialis – The Great Slaughter
Fight the most brutal battles of the Horus Heresy at epic scale with The Great Slaughter, the first campaign expansion book for Legions Imperialis. Along with a thick narrative section detailing the movements of Loyalist and Heretic forces around the Beta-Garmon campaign, the book includes new Detachment datasheets for both Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia armies, rules for fighting battles between entire armies of Titans and Imperial Knights, and a full campaign system for linking games together on the road to the infamous Battle for Nyrcon City.
New rules are always great as an easy way to mix up the game and give you more ways to play.
Solar Auxilia Support
While the Solar Auxilia are famed for the quality of their infantry and tanks, their fire support companies are invaluable when confronting tougher targets. The Solar Auxilia Support set includes a total of 40 weapons platforms and auxiliary assets loaded with firepower, including Rapier batteries mounting quad launchers, laser destroyers, and mole mortar arrays, Tarantula platforms with lascannons and Hyperios missile launchers, and the dreaded Cyclops remote-controlled bomb.
Legiones Astartes Support
The Space Marines of the Horus Heresy also adopted the Rapier platform for their own support firepower, and deployed talons of dreadnoughts for long-range fire and close combat. The Legiones Astartes Support kit contains 24 miniatures, including Leviathan Dreadnoughts with storm cannons and cyclonic melta lances, Deredeo Dreadnoughts with Anvilus autocannon batteries and Hellfire plasma cannonades, Rapier batteries with quad launchers and laser destroyers, and Tarantula platforms with lascannons and Hyperios missile launchers.
Part of the magic of epic is how many different units you get to deploy in games, making this selection a prime example!
Malcador Infernus and Valdor Tank Destroyers
Unleash fiery destruction and annihilate enemy vehicles with the combined power of the Malcador Infernus and Valdor Tank Destroyer heavy tanks, which use the venerable Malcador chassis to mount enormous weapons far larger than a Leman Russ could carry. Each multi-part plastic kit contains two Malcador Infernus tanks and two Valdor Tank Destroyers for Solar Auxilia armies, along with a sheet of 288 transfers.
Spartan Assault Tanks
Spartan Assault tanks are massive armoured conveyors built to carry infantry across treacherous battlefields, and they join Legions Imperialis as the first Transport Detachment that can carry Terminator squads. This plastic kit contains four Spartans with options for sponson-mounted quad lascannons or laser destroyer arrays.
The Great Slaughter Army Cards
Keep the rules from The Great Slaughter close at hand with this pack of 22 Army Cards, split between formations and detachments for the Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia.
Combined with the Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia card packs, this set allows you to quickly and easily construct armies for use in Legions Imperialis and The Great Slaughter supplement.
Keep track of new rules and get to them quicker with these handy reference cards.
Black Library Celebration eShort Week 2024 Subscription
Another Black Library eShort Week is here to deliver bite-sized literary delights, with one short story released every day from the 19th of February. Each story follows characters from across the worlds of Warhammer, written by Black Library favourites Mike Brooks, John French, R S Wilt, David Guymer, and Jude Reid.
Stories can be bought separately as they are released, but to get all five for the price of four, opt for the full-week subscription.
Overall, Warhammer hobbyists can look forward to the latest pre-order releases from GW, which include Black Library Shorts and Legions Imperialis releases.
