New White Dwarf, Black Library, & More Pricing CONFIRMED!

This week is pretty light on releases; at least there are some Black Library books and White Dwarf to hopefully hold you over. They are also releasing a diorama for Lord of the Rings, but that will be Made to Order and not orderable by local stores.

Amid warehouse delays and backlogs, Games Workshop is struggling to put out new releases. If you missed it, they also just announced that Legions Imperialis will also be delayed and not arriving in August, as previously stated.

With so many items direct only from Games Workshop’s site, here’s the current pre-order lineup and the pricing we know as of this writing.

Bilerot Vomitflesh: Direct From Forge World

Wilhelm von Mitfleisch was on track to becoming one of Blood Bowl’s biggest stars before he let parties and excess get in his way. Down on his luck and riddled with infection, Nurgle took pity on him and transformed him into Bilerot Vomitlfesh.

Now a noxious wrecking ball of a player, Bilerot can be hired by any Favoured of Nurgle team, drenching opposing players in a stream of vomit that is as disgusting as it sounds. Thankfully, he redeems himself time and time again thanks to that delightful Nurgling resting on his shoulder.

Be an unstoppable pile of Nurgle-y blessings with this new star player in Blood Bowl!

White Dwarf 491: $11

We head deeper into the Bunker with this month’s White Dwarf as the studio carry on their Combat Patrol league, and present readers with a new mission for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and the framework for a month-long Warhammer Underworlds league. The rest of the magazine is packed full of amazing content including Warcry rules for the Questor Soulsworn and Royal Beastflayers, a dedicated section on creating T’au Septs, and words of wisdom from the studio covering a variety of topics.

Catch a little bit of all things Warhammer with this month’s issue of White Dwarf!

Get Off The Road Made to Order: Direct from Webstore Only

Originally revealed at Warhammer Fest 2023, Get Off The Road is a celebration of one of the most recognisable scenes from The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring™. Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin cower in a hollow beneath the roots of an ancient tree as a Ringwraith stalks nearby, sensing the presence of the One Ring – which Frodo is dangerously close to putting on.

Take on an impressive hobby challenge, and paint a super iconic scene from the movies with this new diorama.

This highly detailed resin diorama display comes apart for easy painting, and the Ringwraith is mounted on a gaming base for use in the Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game.

This diorama is a treat for painters of all abilities, and it will be available on a Made to Order basis starting on Saturday the 12th of August until 8am on Monday the 21st of August. Please note that as a Made to Order product, delivery can take up to 180 days. Alternatively, it will be available to buy at Warhammer World from the 12th of August.

Just don’t wait too long, as there is a limited time window to place your order for it!

Realmslayer: Legend of the Doomseeker (Limited Edition) Webstore Only

After swearing an oath to die in battle, Gotrek Gurnisson somehow managed to live through the death of the World-that-Was. Thrust into the Age of Sigmar, his oath is now in tatters, his companion Felix is lost, and Chaos is in its ascendency. In a world so alien to him, Gotrek is presented with a singular thread of hope – the God-King Sigmar reforges worthy souls into Stormcast Eternals, and so surely Felix must be amongst them?

David Guymer’s Realmslayer: Legend of the Doomseeker was the audio drama that brought Gotrek into the Mortal Realms, and it is now being released in an edited novel format for the first time. This Limited Edition is numbered and signed by the author, as well as containing a foreword by David Guymer. Presented with a die-cast emblem on a cloth cover, this hearty tome also features a leather-effect spine, orange page edges, interior artwork of Gotrek, and a golden-orange ribbon bookmark. Also included is the short story One, Untended. This edition is limited to just 1,250 copies, so act fast to fulfil your oath.

Not only is Gotrek a fan favorite, but this Limited edition treatment is stunning! Meaning it will be tough to get your hands on it! Get it while it’s hot!

Godsbane (PB) $17.99

The Lumineth Loreseeker Thelena Evenfall is pulled from her scholarly pursuits into a world of warring armies, betrayal and bloodshed as knowledge of a weapon with the power to kill a deity comes to light. Discover this tale of political machinations as trusted allies and insidious cults all vie for the control of a powerful artefact in Godsbane by Dale Lucas, available to pre-order in paperback format next week.

Gods are one of the bigger elements of AoS, so naturally, this story will be covering some pretty heavy-hitting stuff for the lore and world.
