SERAPHON: SLANN STARMASTER

Key Features An ancient and powerful wizard to command your Seraphon army Customise your Starmaster with different arms, accessories, attendants, and more Harness the wisdom of the Old Ones to unleash a barrage of spells Slann Starmasters are amongst the greatest wizards in all the realms, ancient beings created to serve the unfathomable Old Ones. It is their cold and distant intellect that guides the Seraphon to carry out the Great Plan, deciphered from glimpses of a grand cosmic equation. A Starmaster may reshape reality itself with a languid gesture, wielding the energies of the stars to annihilate the enemies of true order. This multipart plastic kit builds a Slann Starmaster – a toad-like mage-priest seated atop a floating palanquin. The Starmaster visibly exudes ancient wisdom and magical power, and the kit includes a huge variety of customisation options to make them your own. You'll find a choice of two heads – one with an open mouth, delicate necklace, and elaborate feathered crown, and one with a closed mouth, ornate talismans, and optional diadem. There's also two left arms – one carrying a sceptre, the other a crystal skull – and two right arms in different mystical poses, one of which comes with an optional arcane orb. Even the palanquin can be personalised – the kit offers a choice of carved upper panels, engraved frontpieces, and scenic base elements such as rubble and vines. Skink attendants can perch on either side of the Starmaster, one carrying a spear and shield, the other carrying your choice of Seraphon artefacts – each can also be replaced by a small lizard pet. It's a truly magnificent centrepiece to any Seraphon collection. This kit comprises 57 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 80mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

DEATH GUARD: MORTARION, DAEMON PRIMARCH OF NURGLE

For ten thousand years Mortarion, Lord of the Death Guard, has crushed his enemies upon the field of battle. Surrounded by chittering Daemon mites, droning flies and noxious plague vapours, Mortarion swoops into battle on vast, creaking wings. the thudding beat of these foul pinions fills the enemy with crawling dread, even as they waft the reek of death across their lines. To even stand in the presence of the Death Lord is lethal, opponents choking and collapsing as they succumb to the myriad plagues that churn the air around him. This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle. This is a towering model – the word ‘miniature’ barely does it justice, as he looms over the rest of the Death Guard and gives even Bloodthirsters something to look up to! He is clad in baroque power armour known as the Barbaran Plate – this is covered in rust and rot, with skulls, spikes and Nurgle symbolism on each of the chunky components. Mouldering robes, chains and a rotten cowl hang from this armour, partially covering the system of pipes that feed his breathing apparatus – it is safe to assume that this ventilator isn’t delivering fresh and clean air to Mortarion, rather vile spores and disease. He is armed with 2 foul weapons: a massive scythe named Silence, a rusting yet razor-sharp blade featuring brutal chain-teeth, stained with the blood of worlds and capable even of hacking a Reaver Titan to pieces; and The Lantern, an ancient energy pistol. There are two modelling options for these weapons – one option features the weapons down by Mortarion’s side, the other features a much more aggressive pose. Mortarion features huge, decaying wings – these are modelled with pockmarks, holes and tears, representing the horror and decay of Nurgle’s hordes. Speaking of Nurgle’s hordes, there are plenty of extras with this kit – 2 Nurgling Drones carrying phosphex bombs hang from the chains on Mortarion’s armour, with a further 3 on the base: 1 carries a Chaos icon, one waves a censer and one carries a tank of unmentionably horrid substances. The base itself is detailed with rocks which themselves are being corrupted by the foul presence of the Daemon Primarch. Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle comes as 78 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 100mm Round base.

NOVELLA: THE RED HOURS

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar novellaAt the bleeding edge of Chamon sits a lone outpost: The Grave of Heroes. Once a great fortress, it’s now no more than a thinly disguised prison for soldiers the armies of Sigmar would rather forget… READ IT BECAUSEA unique setting, compelling characters and an action-driven plot combine with Evan Dicken's fantastic prose to create an unmissable novella.THE STORYAt the bleeding edge of Chamon sits a lone outpost: The Grave of Heroes. Once a great fortress, it’s now no more than a thinly disguised prison for soldiers the armies of Sigmar would rather forget. Into this oubliette comes Byrun Hess, disgraced Captain of the Sigmarite forces, who finds himself buried in a dead-end posting with a tiny garrison, ranging from the undisciplined to the almost heretical. While Hess attempts to instill some measure of discipline, one of Chamon’s brutal shardstorms quickly shifts his priorities to simple survival. Things go from bad to worse when the garrison’s Warden is viciously murdered in a bloody scene that shows signs of dark sorcery, and tempers flare as the survivors accuse each other of the crime. Not sure who to trust, Hess' disquiet is compounded by the chilling discovery of a newly exposed ancient vault in the mountainside that once confined a terrifying supernatural force – the likes of which these mortals have never seen before. Written by Evan Dicken
