This week’s new releases are packed with even more Tzeentch-y goodness, new Blood Bowl miniatures, and the, much anticipated, February White Dwarf!
Games Workshop:
White Dwarf February 2017 $9
Description
The Eldar brought their doom upon themselves long ago. Now another spectre looms over the Aeldari race – doom for some, rebirth for others, it is Ynnead, the Eldar god of the dead, and you can read all about what this means for the Eldar, their enemies and a galaxy already beset by the Gathering Storm in February’s issue of White Dwarf! Meanwhile, in the Mortal Realms, Tzeentch has unleashed his most potent followers, his Daemons, and they face the newly-reinforced Stormcast Eternals in our battle report. (We’ve painting guides for both armies in Paint Splatter, too.) Elsewhere, one of White Dwarf’s most popular features, A Tale of Four Warlords, reaches its conclusion – and with an earth-shattering battle between the Four Warlords to boot. All that and much more besides in 148 jam-packed pages.

Lord of Change $115
Description
The greatest of Tzeentch’s daemons, the Lords of Change shimmer with raw magic. With a flick of its claw, a Lord of Change can hurl foes into nightmares, or blast enemies with the wyrdfires of Tzeentch. Such canny creatures can steal opponents’ spells for their own use, or send mutating rays from their rod of sorcery to destroy entire enemy formations.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Lord of Change. A huge, imposing model, he makes an ideal centrepiece for any Tzeentchian army, covered as he is in the symbolism of Tzeentch that marks him out as a true master of magic. His enormous wings can be modelled in 2 different positions, and he features a choice of 3 different, sinister heads. He wields a staff of Tzeentch, which can be topped with either a symbol of Tzeentch or a flame blade; or can alternatively wield a baleful sword and Tzeentchian wand. He is accompanied by 2 Brimstone Horrors, which can be added to his base.
This kit is supplied as 72 components, and includes a Citadel 100mm Round base.
This kit can alternatively be used to assemble Kairos Fateweaver.
Kairos Fateweaver $115
Description
Kairos Fateweaver can see the past and the future, and uses this ability to twist destiny to suit his own malevolent purposes. This twin-headed terror is a master of magic, able to transform foes into tentacle-ridden Chaos Spawn, or incinerate them with multicoloured blasts of fire. He is the Oracle of Tzeentch, and wherever he goes, change is sure to follow.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble Kairos Fateweaver – towering over the footsoldiers of the Tzaangors, he makes the perfect centrepiece for an imposing Tzeentchian army. The kit features an impressive amount of customisation, with 2 different heads and his own wing tip decorations (the wings themselves can be modelled in 2 different positions.)
His Staff of Change is a particular standout, with its book and fish motif giving the whole model an extra tinge of Tzeentchian symbolism. If you build this kit as Kairos Fateweaver there is a specific right arm assembly featuring a hand containing an all seeing eye in the palm.
This kit is supplied as 72 components, and includes a Citadel 100mm Round base.
This kit can alternatively be used to assemble a Lord of Change.

Pulled through the skies by a pair of Screamers, a Burning Chariot of Tzeentch rides upon a wave of multicoloured flames that scorch all in their wake. The Exalted Flamer that writhes and twists upon the back of the chariot vomits sheets of billowing fire – an unnatural conflagration that even when put out will rage up once more, burning foes again and again.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Burning Chariot of Tzeentch. This striking model is being dragged into battle by 2 straining Screamers of Tzeentch, leaving gouts of billowing flame in its wake.

Herald of Tzeentch on Disc $40
Description
WEBSTORE EXCLUSIVE
There is nowhere on the battlefield safe from a Herald riding a Disc of Tzeentch. Bolting through the air, he conjures shimmering blue flames to hurl at the foe, while gliding out of reach. Should an enemy appear vulnerable, the Herald will dash in, using its staff of change to cause horrendous mutations while the horns and teeth of the Disc deliver their own punishments.
This kit contains the parts needed to assemble one finely-detailed resin Herald of Tzeentch on Disc, armed with staff of change or ritual dagger. Supplied with a large flying base.
Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch $40
Description
An Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch can project gouts of multicoloured flame, turning entire enemy units into piles of blackened bones. The shifting warpflames seem to have a mind of their own, forming hideous faces and ominous sigils with their crackling tongues of fire. Should any foes get through the raging inferno, the Exalted Flamer will savage them with its flame-wreathed maw.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to make an Exalted Flamer, a fire-covered miniature bursting with furious energy and featuring several toothed maws belching forth warpflame. He comes with a Citadel 75x41mm Oval base.
With this kit you also receive the parts necessary to assemble a Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot, accompanied by 3 Blue Horrors, supplied with a Citadel 120x92mm Oval base, 3 Citadel 25mm Round bases for the Horrors, and a Citadel 32mm Round base giving you the option to model the Herald of Tzeentch on foot. There are 49 components in total to this kit.
The Blue Scribes $40
Description
WEBSTORE EXCLUSIVE
Tzeentch created two daemons, P’tarix and Xirat’p, for the sole purpose of learning every spell in existence. The Blue Scribes, as they are known, ride their Disc of Tzeentch through the realms seeking every fragment of arcana. While P’tarix inscribes magical spells and stabs nearby enemies with his quills, his twin Xirat’p reads the written words, casting strange magics.
This kit contains the components necessary to build the Blue Scribes, detailed resin miniatures atop a Disc of Tzeentch. Armed with sharpened quills, the duo is supplied with a large flying base.
Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot $40
Description
Trailing flames and maniacal laughter, a Herald of Tzeentch streaks across the skies bringing with it fiery doom. While the Herald conjures firestorms to engulf the foe, the living chariot it rides seeks to sear all in its path. Any who close in on the speeding chariot must face the gnashing fangs of the Screamers bound to it, and strikes from the Herald’s staff of change.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot. Accompanied by 3 Blue Horrors, this model is being dragged into battle by 2 Screamers of Tzeentch. The Herald himself wields a staff of change, covered in warpfire, and is chanting incantations from a detailed arcane tome. As well as this, you can assemble an Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch on foot.
The kit comprises 49 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 120x92mm Oval base, with a Citadel 75x41mm Oval base for the Exalted Flamer (as well as 3 Citadel 25mm Round bases for the Blue Horrors.)

Skaven & Dwarf Pitch $38 (Sold Out)
Description
WEBSTORE EXCLUSIVE
Play games of Blood Bowl on this excellent double-sided foldout card pitch! Made to the same specifications as the pitch found in the boxed game, it features a filthy, ‘orrible Skaven pitch on one side – the reeking, dank cavern is perfect for scuttling about on – and a much tidier, properly-hewn Dwarven stadium-vault on the other. Of course, the 2 double-sided dugouts follow the same themes.
Supplied with a new Subterranean Weather Table – exclusive rules featuring weather effects appropriate to underground sports brutality!
The Changeling $35
Description
None recognise the presence of the Daemon known as the Changeling before it is too late. A master of illusory disguise, the Changeling secretes itself amongst its quarry, sowing confusion and misdirection. Upon throwing aside its fleshly masquerade, the Changeling uses trickery and its trickster’s staff to openly blast its foes.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the parts necessary to assemble a Changeling. Armed with the Trickster’s staff in one arm, with its sinister snake on the end, his other 3 (yes, 3) arms are all concentrated on his left side, and are preparing to blast warpfire at an unfortunate foe. Clad in a cloak carrying 3 mysterious scrolls, with a huge hood obscuring his face and hiding his identity, he stands aloft magical flames which elevate him from his base.
He comes in 15 parts, and is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round base.
Screamers of Tzeentch $35
Description
Speeding blurs that leave shimmering trails of change-magics in the air behind them, Screamers streak across the skies with a wailing cry. They slash the foes they pass with razor-sharp horns and fins, before darting down to savage their chosen quarry with gnashing teeth. The bite of a Screamer is fierce, their fang-filled maws able to gouge out huge chunks of flesh.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the parts necessary to assemble 3 Screamers of Tzeentch – bizarrely sleek ray-like forms, covered in eyes, horns and fins ready to slash at their foes.
This kit comprises 27 components, and is supplied with 3 small flying bases and 3 ball and socket flying stems.
Pink Horrors $35
Description
Gibbering nonsense with lunatic energy the luminescent Pink Horrors whirl and flail their arms, generating raw magic that fills the air. En masse, the Pink Horrors give rise to so much arcane force that they can hurl blasts of unnatural fire at the enemy. In combat the Pink Horrors use their powerful hands to choke and, should they be slain, they split in twain to form two Blue Horrors.
This set contains ten multi-part, multi-limbed plastic Pink Horrors. This set includes all of the components needed to assemble a hornblower, an icon bearer (with immense, flaming Tzeentchian icon) and an Iridescent Horror, a champion who gleefully doles out death with his grasping hands.
This kit comprises 55 components, and is supplied with 10 Citadel 32mm Round bases.
Blue Horrors & Brimstone Horrors $35
Description
Casting vindictive glares at their enemies and blasting them apart with mystical fire, Blue Horrors are as resentful and bitter as their pink cousins are gleeful and capricious. Muttering glumly, Blue Horrors cast azure flames from their fingertips, stomping and protesting as they do so. Should a Blue Horror be slain, it groans and flashes into flame as a pair of Brimstone Horrors replaces it.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 10 pairs of Brimstone Horrors of Tzeentch. Tiny creatures of pure malice, they caper about on their bases just as you would expect those made of fire to do. Also included are the parts you need to make 10 Blue Horrors of Tzeentch. Eyes full of fury and large mouths full of teeth, some pose with their talons outstretched to hack at their foe, others wield magical flames that dance about their fingertips. Covered in decorations, jewellery and feathers, they also include flames for their bases.
This kit comprises 40 components, and is supplied with 20 Citadel 25mm Round bases.
Flamers of Tzeentch $25
Description
Bounding in a disturbing fashion, Flamers of Tzeentch spring toward the foe spouting wyrdflame, the warpfire of Chaos itself. The supernatural flames writhe and leer, but most of all they burn, scorching the foe’s flesh, bones and soul. Yet the Changer of Ways is fickle, and fires that have burnt out may leap to life again, or even heal the afflicted.
This multi-part plastic kit contains components necessary to build 3 Flamers of Tzeentch, multi-headed spellcasters with warpfire billowing from their terrifying toothed arms. One model can be assembled as a Pyrocaster, seemingly more of fire than flesh.
This kit comes in 36 components, and is supplied with 3 Citadel 32mm Round bases.
Imperial Knights: Kingsblade (Hardback) $27
Description

But the war soon turns when a terrible tragedy strikes, casting the Imperial campaign into anarchy. As desperation grows, unblooded Knights Errant Danial and Luk must quickly learn the ways of war to prevent an unholy ritual or Donatos will be lost and all the noble Houses of Adrastapol with it.READ IT BECAUSE
