New Horus Heresy Solar Auxilia Launch Box & Old World Available Now!

Now the Tomb Kings of Khemri and Kingdom of Bretonnia are receiving returning plastic and metal models. Additionally, the Knights of the Realm, Lord with Great Weapon, and Solar Auxilia Battle Group are among the new releases!

We’ve got a huge Sunday Preview this week, including the Solar Auxilia Battle Group and new miniatures for the Horus Heresy. Then there’s a massive second wave of releases for the Tomb Kings of Khemri and Kingdom of Bretonnia.

Warhammer The Old World Base Converters From Elrik’s Hobbies:

Elrik’s has you covered for the new changes coming with the switchover from Warhammer Fantasy to The Old World. They have options for both your pre-existing models and those that have yet to be based. You can put them on base converters (so you don’t have to cut the feet off or change the base color) or use totally new sizes. Plus, they also have movement trays and themed resin bases. Best of all, you can get 10% off your order using the promo code Long War Rules.

With Games Workshop’s decision to move for a slightly larger base size on average with the switch from Fantasy to Old World, Elrik’s Hobbies has come up with an easy solution for those units that you have already seated on a base. You will still have to paint the edges of these, but if you ask us, it is a far easier option than rebasing! They have a few sizes already but are adding on more.

Warhammer The Old World Bases:

They also have updated square and rectangle base sizes, plus movement trays for customizing your new Warhammer, the Old World army, if you don’t want to use the converters!

Warhammer The Old World Movement Trays:

Get 10% off your order using promo code: Long War Rules.

Movement trays for Warhammer: The Old World 25mm Square bases ranging from 5-10 bases wide by 1-6 bases deep. Tray image is shown as an example. All trays will be sized appropriately based on required columns and ranks.

Whether you are rebasing or ready to play, this makes moving across the board so much easier.

Sticker Magnets & Trays For Rebasing Warhammer The Old World

Squad Marks has four main options to help you rebase your Warhammer Fantasy and Old World models: adhesive magnets for your bases, movement trays for most sizes (you’ll see how they can be used for all kinds of units), and bases! You can get yours here from Squad Marks.

Slotta Bases From White Dragon Miniatures:

These new bases from White Dragon Miniatures have a pre-cut slotted strip and hole for magnets. This neat feature will make moving your units around easier than ever. Each base pack contains one hundred bases, which should be enough to rebase most of your infantry. Either way, this is a pretty good deal for so many bases! Just remember that these come from the UK. So it might take a little bit to get to you if you’re overseas from there. You can get yours here from White Dragon Miniatures.

The Hollow King (Special Edition) Direct Only From GW Webstore

Cado Ezechiar is a wanderer who has outlived the memory of the age that made him. A Soulblight vampire who accepted the curse as his people and kingdom fell to Chaos, he now roams the Realm of Death and beyond, seeking retribution and salvation for the ones he failed.

Aided by the bound spirits of those he lost, Cado follows a path of revenge, hunting the servants of Chaos to slake his need for blood while seeking the Sorcerer of Change who destroyed his kingdom. When his hunt leads him to the free city of Aventhis, Cado becomes caught up in the machinations of greater powers – beings who see the city and its people as dust in the eyes of ambitious gods. Torn between his code of honour and his desire for vengeance, Cado must navigate a web of war and deceit, or lose everything.

Written by John French.
