ORRUK WARCLANS: TUSKBOSS / GOUGER ON MAW-GRUNTA

Key Features A mighty mounted Ironjawz leader for your Orruk Warclans army Lead the charge as you trample enemies and smash foes aside Alternatively builds a Maw-grunta with Hakkin' Krew, or a Maw-grunta Gouger To be a Tuskboss, an orruk must claim mastery over a particularly ferocious Maw-grunta – an utterly monstrous hog, with enough brute strength and dim-witted determination to batter through anything in its path. These mounted warlords lead the charge by steering their stampeding behemoths straight into the enemy lines, striking down foes left and right as the beast barrels forward with explosive impact._____ Maw-grunta Gougers are reckless orruk beast-riders who have managed, against the odds, to wrangle a Maw-grunta – a porcine monstrosity of terrifying strength, incredible size, and unyielding pig-headed fury. Gougers gather together into stampeding mobs, where their monstrous hogs trample enemies into the mud and crush them to a bloody pulp beneath cloven hooves._____ Maw-gruntas are truly colossal hogs, ill-tempered and brawny enough to trample any obstacles into mulch. With a hakkin' krew of eager Ardboys precariously chained to its flanks, a Maw-grunta becomes one of the most devastating engines of war in the Ironjawz’ arsenal – a living avalanche of blades and tusks that careens headlong into the foe, leaving carnage and destruction in its wake._____ This multipart plastic kit builds a Tuskboss on Maw-Grunta – a fearless Ironjawz leader riding a porcine monstrosity. The Tuskboss steers his massive mount with a pair of thick chains, keeping a vicious pig-hacka strapped to his belt for close combat. He's joined by a hakkin' krew – two orruks chained to the sides of his steed, swinging huge kill-choppas to carve a path for their boss. The Maw-grunta crushes foes beneath its trampling trotters or gores them on its mighty tusks, protected by heavy armour – including intimidating head plates and tusk-mounted blades. It can also be adorned with an optional nose-ring. This kit can alternatively build a Maw-Grunta with Hakkin' Krew, or a Maw-grunta Gouger. This kit comprises 81 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 120mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

SLAVES TO DARKNESS: OGROID THERIDONS

Key Features Fearsome shock troops for your Slaves to Darkness armies Builds 3 mighty Theridons with a variety of weapons and command options Customise your brutes using a mix of heads, horns, armour, and Chaotic sigils Ogroid Theridons serve as fearsome shock troops to the armies of Chaos, found wherever the fighting is thickest, carving swathes of ruin through the enemy ranks with staggering strength and skill. Once rulers of a mighty empire that stretched across the Realm of Beasts, the goroans were enticed into Archaon's service by promises of a new homeland, free from orruk invasions – a realm that came to be called the Eightpoints. Now better-known as ogroids, they raise dark citadels, forge mighty weapons, and serve as overseers in the shadow of the Varanspire. This multipart plastic kit builds three Ogroid Theridons – ferocious warriors who loom above most mortal soldiery. Each Theridon can be armed with your choice of brutal weaponry – either a two-handed goroan great axe, or a goroan falchion and shield. The kit also includes components to build one model as a Thorakon champion with a unique shield boss, and to assemble the other two models as a proud Banner Bearer and a horn-blowing Charge-caller musician. You’ll find plenty of cosmetic options to mix up your Ogroid Theridons – the kit's shields, pauldrons, and axe heads are entirely interchangeable, as are the five different faces and five sets of horns. There are also five Chaotic sigils – for Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Slaanesh, and Chaos Undivided – to adorn the Thorakon's armour, and another five you can choose from to cap the Banner Bearer's standard. This kit comprises 96 plastic components, and is supplied with 3x Citadel 50mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Two Initiates can be built with a choice of auto bolt rifle or heavy bolt pistol and Astartes chainsword, while the third can be built with an auto bolt rifle, a pyreblaster, or a heavy bolt pistol and an Astartes chainsword, with the option to change the chainsword to a power fist.

The kit is comprised of 228 plastic components, with which you can assemble Primaris Crusader Squad, containing six Primaris Initiates and four Neophytes with a choice of weapon options. Alternatively one Primaris Initiate can be built as a Sword Brother. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
