ORC & GOBLIN TRIBES: ORC BOAR BOYZ MOB (PREORDER FOR 4/5)

Some Orcs have adopted ill-tempered boars as their mounts. Once up to speed, boars can be almost unstoppable, their powerfully churning legs propelling them into the enemy where their goring tusks and stamping hooves can do untold damage. From atop their precarious perch, an Orc can set about the foe with spear and choppa, knowing that should they fall, their mount will give them a proper good kicking. This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Orc Boar Boyz, in two smaller mobs of five, or one brutal mob of all ten. The Orc riders are equipped with hand weapons or cavalry spears for skewering foes on the charge, and their war-boar steeds gore enemies with their huge tusks. This kit also contains Orc Command upgrades for your units – this means you can have a mighty Boss champion, a musician, and a standard bearer for both of your smaller five-strong mobs, should you so choose. This kit contains 182 plastic components, and 10x Citadel 30mm x 60mm Rectangular Bases. Also includes 1x Orc Transfer Sheet containing 75x high-quality waterslide transfers for you to further decorate your models. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

TAU EMPIRE: XV95 GHOSTKEEL BATTLESUIT

A huge, deadly and nigh-undetectable weapon of impressive killing capacity, the XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit is a formidable display of Tau war technology. Piloted by a single, hand-picked Tau warrior, a lone Ghostkeel is capable of appearing from seemingly nowhere, unleashing a storm of incredible firepower with its fusion collider and disappearing into the mayhem and confusion of battle. This battlesuit bristles with a vast array of advanced countermeasures, making it invisible to enemy sensors - weapons simply refuse to lock-on and the few that manage to loose off a shot are baffled by a spectacular display of flares and electronic countermeasures. This multi-part plastic kit gives you everything needed to build one XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit. This miniature has a truly awesome array of modelling and posing options - arms, legs, head, engines and thrusters can all be set to different poses, and there are two different heads supplied - the head can be raised and the chest opened to reveal a male or female pilot! As well as this, you’ll receive two burst cannons, two fusion blasters, two flamers, a fusion collider, a cyclic ion raker and two XV5 stealth drone field projectors. Offensively and defensively, this battlesuit is armed to the teeth! 116 components are included in total, with a Citadel 105mm Oval base.

SLAVES TO DARKNESS: ETERNUS / LORD ON DAEMONIC MOUNT

Key Features A treacherous and cunning Hero to lead your Slaves to Darkness army A devastating warrior, granted the gift of immortality by Be’lakor Can alternatively be built as a Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount Eternus, The Blade of the First Prince was one of Archaon’s loyal Varanguard – a champion of the Eighth Circle known as Atarus – until he renounced the Everchosen and swore fealty to the Dark Master. Destroyed and reborn by Be'lakor's sorcery, he became Eternus – the chosen agent of the First Prince. The lord of traitors now rides at the head of Be'lakor's legions, crushing rivals in battle and commanding a vast network of spies and agents. Even death cannot halt his machinations, for each time Eternus is slain, he is reborn in a flash of black lightning – a cruel parody of Sigmar's Stormcast Eternals. This multipart plastic kit builds Eternus, Blade of the First Prince – the immortal enforcer of Be'lakor's will. This imposing champion of the Dark Master is mounted atop his rearing daemonic mount, the mighty Drakocephalus, and wields both a rune-marked deathglaive and a gruesome skull flail. His ornate armour is adorned with leering daemonic faces befitting the First Prince's chosen agent, while four pennants hang at his back in a mockery of knightly glory, fluttering in the foul wind of the Cursed Skies. _____ Chaos Lords are living legends who have followed the Path to Glory to the very brink of ascension... or damnation. Those who ride daemonic mounts into battle are especially feared – not just for the unnatural power of their infernal steed, but for the terrible deeds that saw them rewarded with such a beast. These champions rule over thundering cavalry warbands, driving their mounted brethren into battle with roared oaths to the Dark Gods. This multipart plastic kit builds a Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount – a mighty warlord with a steed to surpass any mortal horse. This imposing hero is clad in heavy armour and rich furs, cloak whipping behind them as their mount prepares for a charge. The Chaos Lord bears a Chaos runeshield decorated by a roaring daemonic visage to match their steed's baroque barding, and can be armed with either a cursed warhammer or Chaos lance – the kit also includes a sheathed sword for lance-wielding Chaos Lords, slung across their back for close quarters fighting. _____ This kit comprises 71 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 90x52mm Round Bases. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

BLOOD BOWL: WOOD ELF TEAM - THE ATHELORN AVENGERS

The Elfheim Eagles are notable for eschewing the fancy outfits and extravagant parties of Elven teams past in favour of drills, training sessions and even more drills. The fans may have disapproved at first, but after the Elfheim Eagles nudged out Nurgle’s Rotters to win Blood Bowl XX they became known as one of the finest passing play teams to ever grace the pitch.  This multi-part plastic kit contains the components needed to assemble The Elfheim Eagles, an Elven Union Blood Bowl team. The team consists of 6 Linemen (4 of which are actually Linewomen), 2 Blitzers, 2 Throwers and 2 Catchers, each of whom are as impressively-cheekboned and beautiful as you might expect from an Elven team. The heads and shoulder pads are interchangeable between the miniatures, meaning your team can look unique.  There are a host of extras in the kit – 2 turn markers, 2 double-sided score coins and 6 balls, 4 of which are encrusted with opulent gemstones. Supplied with 12 32mm Blood Bowl bases and an Elven Union transfer sheet.
