Warcry: Nightmare Quest & More: FIRST LOOK
While there aren’t a ton of releases this week, if you want some new warbands, this is the release cycle for you! There will be the main box and two warbands releasing on their own, so there are plenty for Warcry players to jump into.
Warcry: Nightmare Quest
To combat such savage ghouls, Sigmar sends his Questor Soulsworn – wandering champions of the Stormhosts who, though few in number, fight with the strength of hundreds of lesser mortals.
Alongside these two complete warbands, Nightmare Quest contains a full complement of Gnarlwood scenery – including a massive, half-ruined Realmshaper Engine and a selection of twisted gnarloaks. Combined with the 64-page warband tome, double-sided game board, and reference cards, this set is the perfect way to expand your Warcry experience.
Like Warcry or not, these new models are usual bangers with some dope, unique models, and this set is no different!
Askurgan Trueblades
The vampire ascetics of the Askurgan Trueblades are precision and discipline incarnate, suppressing their hunger to attain enlightenment in the ways of combat. This standalone warband of eight multi-part plastic miniatures – previously only available in the Bloodhunt box set – is a brutally effective martial force that shows off an entirely different perspective on the Soulblight Gravelords, and comes with the fighter cards and ability card you need to deploy them right to the battlefield.
Speaking of sweet, unique models, these Vampires who refuse to feed their hunger are a great example.
Claws of Karanak
Where the Askurgan Trueblades resist the call of mortal blood, the Claws of Karanak revel in it. As devotees of Khorne and worshippers of the savage Flesh Hounds, they revel in the carnage of open battle and aim to turn the jungles of Ghur into their own personal charnel house.
No, that isn’t a Flesh Hound – the Hound of Wrath is simply a warrior who really, really wishes he were one, and his seven companions are entirely happy to let him do his thing. If wanton slaughter and rivers of blood are the way you roll, the Claws of Karanak are for you.
These Fleshhound-worshiping heathens also have some pretty cool models and look pretty metal on top of it.
White Dwarf 488
The saga of the Herald of Misery comes to a close with the final battle in the White Dwarf Arks of Omen campaign, as the Tome Keepers and Blood Angels make a final desperate push to reach the centre of the accursed space hulk. Warsmith Czagra awaits, and those unlucky enough to be caught on board his Ark will need to contend with the new Unstable Structure tiles included in this issue.
White Dwarf is an excellent one-stop shop for your GW hobby news, usually with some bonuses like extra rules inside!
