GW revealed all the new Black Library titles, Forge World, and Necromunda 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.
Escher Cutters
Dominate the ash wastes with these new skimmer mounts for Escher gangs. This kit includes four fast-flying machines which Leaders, Champions, and Prospects can ride. There are head and hair options for the riders, along with a choice of twin-linked heavy stubbers, grenade launchers, or plasma guns.
You can find rules for using Escher Cutters in The Aranthian Succession – Cinderak Burning.
These new Jet bikes are sweet, so Escher players rejoice they can keep up with the Goliaths now!
Escher Tactics Cards and Ash Wastes Dice
There are two sets of Escher Tactics Cards coming out – one for vehicles, and another for your battles in the underhive. Both contain 18 Escher-specific cards and eight blank cards to keep track of your gangers and vehicles. The Escher Vehicle Tactics Cards contain new cards to use in the ash wastes, while the Escher Gang Tactics set is a reprint of a previous set, and the eight Escher-themed dice are coloured in stylish purple with luxurious golden ink. You get three regular D6s, three Necromunda injury dice, an ammo die, and a scatter die.
Necromunda: Athera, Blade of the Matriarch
Forge World is returning to Necromunda with some new and highly detailed resin kits, starting with Athera, Blade of the Matriarch. Escher gangs can petition her for help in slicing up enemy gangers with her master-crafted chainaxe. Athera is accompanied into battle by her grumpy Caryatid, Stix, who has the prescience to help them both avoid harm.
As a guaranteed Forge World release, this model is pretty amazing.
Necromunda: Escher Shivver and Apprentice Clan Chymist
Add extra support to your Escher gang with the Shivver and Apprentice Clan Chymist, a pair of gang-specific resin Hangers-on. The Shivver can see into the future and predict great glory for your gang members. Chymists, on the other hand, reduce the cost of Chem-Alchemy Elixirs and may even turn deceased Matriarchs and Gang Queens into Death Maidens.
Bonus support is always welcomed, so pick these up if you’re an Escher fan.
Necromunda: Gorshiv Hammerfist
The biggest slab of meat in the Underhive is here, and he’s called Gorshiv Hammerfist. Made of resin and armed with the appropriately-named power hammers Wrack and Ruin, he’s ready to guzzle his stash of combat stimms and pulverise some fools. He’s the perfect hire for any Goliath Gang that wants to add yet more muscle to their roster.
Gorshiv is huge in game, and his model matches for sure.
Necromunda: Escher Ash Wastes Upgrades
Get your Escher gang ready for the ash wastes with a resin upgrade set containing 10 new heads, 10 backpacks, and 10 flasks that pair wasteland utility with that tried and tested Escher flair.
Necromunda: Underhive Traders
There’s pretty much nothing you can’t buy on Necromunda, if you’ve got the credits… except maybe an escape from the gang war. These haggling Hangers-on are well versed in the art of the deal – and with a Relicmonger, Gun-smyth, and Beastwrangler in this pack, your gang is going to be well stocked for that civil war that‘s thundering over the horizon. All three are made of resin.
With super unique models, you can’t seem to go wrong (in terms of hobbying) for Necromunda models!
Necromunda: Chronos Pattern Ironcrawler
Navigating the ash wastes is a real pain – and not just because of the lethal weather conditions and bloodthirsty gangs that roam the dunes. The outlands are littered with difficult and dangerous terrain that cracks axles and gums up drivetrains. Luckily, any gang can conquer the wastes when mounted in a Chronos Pattern Ironcrawler, a tracked beast outfitted with hefty armour. This is a hybrid plastic and resin kit, based on the Cargo-8 Ridgehauler.
The last Necromunda vehicle had a hefty price tank and was similar in size, so just a heads up. This looks to be a resin upgrade to the Cargo-8 chassis.
The Gotrek Gurnisson Collection
Gotrek Gurnisson is so tough he survived the death of an entire world. Does that make him the best Slayer, or the worst? Regardless of your position on this, The Gotrek Gurnisson Collection rounds up all of Darius Hinks’ stories of Gotrek in the Mortal Realms in one lavish release, presented in a very fancy slipcase. There’s even a bonus, never-before-seen story included – The Crown of Karak-Khazar – making it a must for every Gotrek superfan.
Gotrek is a fan favorite, and for good reason. This collection is sure to sell out, so grab it while you can!
12 Tales of Christmas eShorts Subscription
Treat yourself to a December full of short stories with the 12 Tales of Christmas eShorts Subscription. Thrilling Warhammer stories by Black Library alumni like Danie Ware, Mike Brooks, Richard Strachan, David Annandale, and more will be released every other day from the 2nd of December until the 24th. You can get these 12 eShorts for the price of 10 if you sign up for the full subscription too.
While we can’t see the whole lineup quite yet, the short story series always makes for great holiday reading.
Hammers of Sigmar: First Forged
The Hammers of Sigmar are the paragons of the Stormcast Eternals, elites within the elite. In this new tale by Richard Strachan, their mighty Lord-Celestant Vandus Hammerhand leads a group of warriors across the Great Parch to tackle an old foe that will test even the First Forged to their limits. Hammers of Sigmar: First Forged will be available in hardback, eBook, and audiobook versions.
Heirs of The Emperor
The Primarchs are the legendary warriors, created by the Emperor to unite the galaxy in the Great Crusade. Tales of their exploits are limitless, and Heirs of the Emperor collects 27 short stories from 17 authors, including five that have not previously been available in print. This feast of fiction will be available in hardback and eBook formats.
The Primarchs are all bangers, so this collection of Short stories is probably an easy win for anyone interested.
Audiobooks: Gods of Mars, Orcslayer, Rynn’s World
Three classic Warhammer novels are released as MP3 audiobooks next week. In Gods of Mars, Archmagos Kotov’s great voyage is over, and his fleet marvels at the wonders that they have found – but reality itself is threatened by nefarious elements who plan to misuse these impossible technologies. This is the final part of Graham McNeill’s Forge of Mars series.
For just a morsel of Gotrek action from the World-that-Was, Orcslayer by Nathan Long provides just that. After 20 years of exploring strange new lands, Gotrek and Felix return to the Old World, and an ancient path leads the pair to a dwarf prince who wants to reclaim his kingdom from hordes of Greenskins.
And in Rynn’s World by Steve Parker, Warlord Snagrod’s ork hordes are preparing to descend on the Crimson Fists’ home planet. After tragedy befalls the defenders, will the handful of Space Marines left under Chapter Master Kantor’s command be able to avert Orkish annihilation?
