WARHAMMER FANTASY BATTLES
Glottkin Arrives
Nurgle’s Emissaries are ready for you now.
Mutated beyond their mortal forms, the Glottkin rank as the mightiest champions of Nurgle. They combine the darkest sorcery, the most virulent plagues and monstrous strength to butcher any opponent of the Dark Gods
This multi-part plastic kit features Ethrac and Otto Glott riding on the shoulders of their monstrous brother Ghurk. Ethrac is armed with a staff and ceremonial dagger, whilst Otto is distinguished by his huge scythe. All three miniatures are covered with boils, sores, open wounds and other gruesome gifts of Nurgle. Can you spot the three nurglings nestled amongst their folds of flesh and bone?
Rules for using the Glottkin in games of Warhammer can be found in the construction booklet that accompanies this miniature and in Warhammer: Glottkin.
Warhammer: Glottkin continues the epic saga begun in Warhammer: Nagash. This terrifying new chapter in the history of the Old World is revealed over two mighty hardback tomes which are presented together in a sturdy slipcase.
Warhammer: Glottkin Book 1 is a 128-page volume which provides a narrative sweep of the events surrounding the Chaos invasion of the Old World led by the Brothers Glott.
Warhammer: Glottkin Book 2 is a 64-page volume that contains six new scenarios and new rules based on the events in Warhammer: Glottkin Book 1. It includes the rules that will allow you to field the Glottkin, Maggoth Lords, Gutrot Spume and the Putrid Blightkings in your games of Warhammer. It also includes all-new rules for Karl Franz Ascendant (who is changed by the horrors of the End Times, but you will have to read the book to find out more) and Festus Empowered.
Armies of the End Times can field more Lords – up to 50% – and there are brand new rules for fighting battles in the streets of war torn cities. The new army list – The Legions of Chaos – allows you to create a unified army of Chaos drawn from Warriors of Chaos, Daemons of Chaos and Beastmen.
Limited to 500 individually numbered copies, this beautifully designed edition is a must-have for any collector. Contained within a magnetically sealed slip case are both the narrative and campaign books, each finished with varnished text on the covers. Also included is a wallet containing 4 art prints of Karl Franz, Orghotts Daemonspew, Gutrot Spume and The Brothers Glott. There is also a double-sided, annotated map of the events and battles of the Chaos invasion of the Warhammer world.

The Dracosan Armoured Transport is manufactured to standards only usually required of war machines destined for service with the Legiones Astartes. It is large enough to accommodate a full strength Solar Auxilia Infantry Section of twenty auxiliaries, and heavily armoured enough to protect them from intense enemy fire.Equipped with a fearsome array of weapons of its own, including either a powerful twin-linked lascannon or a mighty demolisher cannon at the expense of some of its transport capacity, the Dracosan can steadfastly defend itself against enemy counter-attack and pound an adversary’s emplacements to dust before those on board disembark to storm what remains of their objective.The Solar Auxilia Dracosan Armoured Transport is a complete multi-part resin kit, designed by
Phil Stutcinskas. The kit includes weapons options for the vehicle and an optional gunner with a choice of either a multi-laser or heavy flamer.
This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Thursday 30th October.
SOLAR AUXILIA TANK CREW £16.00
The multi-laser’s range, strength and rapid rate of fire makes it a formidable secondary weapon of choice for the tank crews of the Solar Auxilia since the beginning of the Great Crusade. Adding its firepower to that of their tank’s main weapons has helped turn the tide on countless war zones the Imperium has fought across.The Solar Auxilia Tank Crew is a complete multi-part resin kit containing three models, designed by
Edgar Skomorowski and
Rob Macfarlane. The set also includes two multi-lasers and a heavy flamer. The crew models will fit most Solar Auxilia tanks, including the Valdor Tank Hunter and Malcador variants.

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits started with Rob trying to stay motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects and share his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
Scale model hobbyist in the 80s, miniature wargamer, and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy since 5th Edition, but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of both pewter and resin.
