New Horus Heresy upgrades have hit MTO from Forge World, and a new Star Player is on pre-order for Blood Bowl right now- check it out!
This time around, Raven Guard and the Alpha Legion get a bunch of upgrades, but just keep in mind they are all MTO. This means they will take up to 180 to get, you’ll be guaranteed yours, but they will take a while to get to you.
Then, for Blood Bowl, your Undead teams get a new star player that should be shipping on 2/10/2023. Warhammer Community unveiled the pre-order and MTO; let’s take a closer look!
Alpha Legion Cataphractii Shoulder Pads: $23
This upgrade kit is comprised of 10 resin components and is designed to be assembled with Cataphractii Terminators, which are sold separately. These components require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
Alpha Legion MKIII Shoulder Pads: $23
This upgrade kit can be used to customise Legionaries from the MKIII Tactical Squad set with shoulder pads bearing the hydra symbol of the Alpha Legion. The kit includes 10 shoulder pads, each bearing a raised, sculpted icon that makes them simple to paint in the Legion’s signature colours, with a heavy, reinforced design to fit in with MKIII ‘Iron Armour’. Spread these components around your army and combine them with transfers to capture that signature XX Legion aesthetic, or outfit entire squads for an elite, unified look.
Alpha Legion MKIV Torsos: $23
This upgrade kit comprises five resin components and is designed to be assembled with the MKIII Tactical Squad set, the MKIV Tactical Squad set, and miniatures clad in MKV armour, which are all sold separately. These components require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
Raven Guard MKIV Shoulder Pads: $23
This upgrade kit comprises 10 resin components and is designed to be assembled with the MKIII Tactical Squad set, MKIV Tactical Squad set, and miniatures clad in MKV armour, which are all sold separately. These components are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
Raven Guard MKIII Shoulder Pads: $23
This upgrade kit can be used to customise Legionaries from the MKIII Tactical Squad set with shoulder pads bearing the raven glyph of the Raven Guard. The kit includes 10 shoulder pads, each bearing a raised, sculpted icon that makes them simple to paint in the Legion’s signature colours, with a heavy, reinforced design to suit MKIII ‘Iron Armour’. Spread these components around your army and combine them with transfers to capture that signature XIX Legion aesthetic, or outfit entire squads for an elite, unified look.
Raven Guard Veteran Torsos: $23
This upgrade kit can be used to customise Legionaries wearing MKIII, MKIV, and MKV armour with torsos featuring ornate Raven Guard iconography. The kit includes five torsos in three different designs – incorporating avian skulls, stylised wreath-wings, and the Raven Guard Legion icon. Spread these components around your army to capture that signature XIX Legion aesthetic, or outfit entire squads to mark them out as elite Legion Veteran Squads.
Raven Guard MKII Shoulder Pads: $23
This upgrade kit can be used to customise Legionaries with shoulder pads bearing the raven symbol of the Raven Guard. The kit includes 10 shoulder pads, each bearing a raised, sculpted icon that makes them simple to paint in the Legion’s signature colours, with a studded rim design appropriate to MKII ‘Crusade Armour’. Spread these components around your army and combine them with transfers to capture that signature XIX Legion aesthetic, or outfit entire squads for an elite, unified look.
Bryce ‘The Slice’ Cambuel: $36
Bryce ‘The Slice’ Cambuel was a chainsaw-wielding loony for the Ostermark Bulls, before an unfortunate slip-up cut his career – and his neck – rather short. A reminder to never lose your head on the pitch! Fortunately, this psychotic skeleton has returned from both retirement and the grave to torment the astrogranite once more. Rumours persist that his emerald flames stem from undying fury – perhaps at the fact that Cabalvision keeps showing the highlights of his embarassing demise.
