GW just revealed new releases for Warcry and Necromunda that are going on pre-order this week. Look for all these new models in August!
As seen on Warhammer Community, next weeks releases include three new Warcry warbands, a Warcry terrain box, a new Enforcer kit, a new Necromunda book, and various cards for them.
Warcry is available to pre-order right now, and you’ll only have a couple of weeks to wait until the next three Chaos warbands hit shelves. Available to pre-order next week, The Unmade, Corvus Cabal and Splintered Fang offer fresh new takes on Chaos in the Mortal Realms – not to mention some awesome models!
The Unmade take ‘being one with your weapon’ to the next level – these fearsome fighters replace their limbs with lethal weapons and use their own faces as belt buckles.
The Corvus Cabal are scavengers and shadow-stalkers. After every hunt, they take a macabre trophy, which they then present as an offering to Chaos. The term ‘murder of crows’ has never been this appropriate.
The Splintered Fang are masters of the use of poison, brewing up ever more deadly toxins with which to slay their victims in a variety of excruciating ways. They also have the best fashion sense – just look at their swish hats, and one of them is wearing a live snake!
What’s more is that you can even add each of these Warbands to your AOS games! Each Warband will come with warscrolls and points so you can freely add them to any Slaves to Darkness Army. While in the past when they’ve done this, for example; Nightvault factions, they usually aren’t competitive.
However, there’s no doubting the themes and flavor each of these Warbands could bring to an otherwise straightforward army.
If you’re looking to add new challenges to your Warcry games, the Shattered Stormvault set is the ideal way to do it. This Ravaged Lands set contains several sprues of Dominion of Sigmar scenery that can be combined to build all sorts of unusual battlefields. Combined with the included Terrain Cards, it’s sure to bring new tactical challenges into your game, with loads of line-of-sight blockers to hide behind and high ground to seize.
With the new Warcry goodies out of the way, lets take a look at new releases for Necromunda!
First up is the policing forces of Necromunda; The Enforcers! We actually saw these guys get teased in a video a while back showing the classic Enforcers logo and someone mentioning “Helmwar”. However, at the UK Expo, we were able to lay our eyes on the official models!
With a choice of 12 heads and 6 poses, plus loads of shotguns, boltguns, sniper rifles and other most certainly lethal options, you’ll be able to tool up your gang to your tastes – or just make sure that when they’re cracking heads, they look great doing it. The kit is also full of great conversion opportunities, and there is some pretty rad potential for sprucing up your wider Warhammer 40,000 collection.
Necromunda may be full of scummy gangs and miscreants. So it makes sense that every now and then, you have to call in the grimdark SWAT team to do work.
The new Palanite Enforcers kit is just as packed with options as the Necromunda gang sets, letting you bring your patrol to life with a vast range of weapons – from shock batons to shotguns, and even bolters.
Considering almost everything in Necromunda only has access to autoguns as a main weapon and these guys can lug around the bigger, stronger bolter, they may be able to mow down enemies that get caught out in the open like nobody’s business.
The Enforcers will be available alongside some nifty accessories, with Gang Tactics cards and, of course, custom dice.
In the Law and Misrule campaign, you’ll find your gangs fighting for control of the various criminal rackets that conduct their sinister business in the underhive. There are also intrigues you can add to your games that bring new levels of strategy and subterfuge – make sure you pick up the Intrigues and Rackets cards to easily keep track of both and your gangs will be scheming and plotting their way to victory in no time.
These are the most feared individuals in the underhive and, for the right fee, they will aid House gangs in their fight for survival. The Dramatis Personae cards bring the rules for these celebrated fighters together in one place and are ideal if you’ve picked up any of Forge World’s Bounty Hunter models.
Sometimes, gangs find themselves completely outmatched by their opponents, but in our experience, that just makes the underdogs fight all the harder (and/or dirtier). These cards add a level of parity between two gangs that would otherwise be seriously mismatched – grab them and teach an underdog some new tricks*!
Will you be picking up any of these Warcry Warbands for yourself? How about any of the Necromunda Enforcers or goodies? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group, and get your free hobby updates each morning as well!
