Key Features A shooty, choppy, dead 'ard Troops choice for Orks Builds 10 Boyz, including a Boss Nob and an Ork with a choice of special weapon The cornerstone of every Waaagh! Ork Boyz surge into battle in huge, unruly mobs dotted with crude special weapons and led by foul-tempered Boss Nobz. Most simply stampede towards the enemy lines, relying on their numbers and natural hardiness to carry the charge home. This kit builds 10 Ork Boyz, a surly and belligerent Troops choice for your Ork armies. With a love of all things choppy and shooty, these hooligans are the ideal infantry mob, able to soak up masses of firepower and still retaliate with brutish glee.

Special weapon options for one ork give you a choice of more dakka with a big shoota or big booms with a rokkit launcha, while the Boss Nob comes with helmeted or unhelmeted options and a choice between a nasty power klaw or a big choppa.

KHARADRON OVERLORDS - SKYRIGGERS: SKYWARDENS / ENDRINRIGGERS

Skywardens are elite members of the Arkanaut crews, a form of aerial cavalry that can scramble to aid the fleets. They use potent, heat-generating vulcaniser pistols to fell foes before lowering their skypikes and charging in to finish them off. Each Skywarden is equipped with skymines for harrying flying foes, and a timed explosive. These charges are the perfect weapon to aid the Skywardens’ hit-and-run attacks, for their delayed detonations cause chaos among the foe, allowing the duardin to jet away in a blast of aether-exhaust. This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 3 Skywardens. They feature skymines trailing from their dirigibles, which are detailed with the pipework and equipment needed to make their aether-gold vapour-fuelled flight possible, and carry vulcaniser pistols and skypikes. One Skywarden can carry an aethermatic volley gun, and one can carry a skyhook, drill cannon or grapnel launcher. There’s a custom head option for the Skywarden Custodian, and there are plenty of extra details for making your Skywardens unique: a spare vulcaniser pistol and a variety of maintenance tools. This kit comes as 88 components, and is supplied with 3 Citadel 32mm Round bases and 3 flying stems of differing heights: 30mm, 32.5mm and 35mm. It can optionally be used to assemble 3 Endrinriggers.

HORUS HERESY: SICARAN BATTLE TANK

Key Features Add high-speed Heavy Support to your Legiones Astartes armies Rend armour with the deadly accelerator autocannon, plus a selection of extra guns Fast and hard-hitting – the perfect support for a rapid-strike assault The Sicaran is one of the most advanced armoured units in the arsenal of the Legiones Astartes, a fast-moving destroyer tank designed to outflank enemy formations before unleashing an overwhelming onslaught of mid-range firepower. Though its chassis supports a number of variants fielded throughout the Legions, the core Sicaran battle tank remains a versatile favourite. Armed with Herakles-pattern accelerator autocannons, it provides high-volume, high-velocity fire support that can rip through infantry and vehicles alike – its sophisticated sensors tracking swift-moving targets and pinpointing vulnerabilities in enemy armour. This multipart plastic kit builds one Sicaran Battle Tank, a high-speed vehicle armed with a set of turret-mounted accelerator autocannons. The Sicaran also sports a hull-mounted heavy bolter, as well as a pair of sponson weapons – your choice of heavy bolters, heavy flamers, lascannons, or volkite culverins. The kit includes components to upgrade this vehicle with a pintle-mounted weapon – a havoc launcher, heavy bolter, heavy flamer, multi-melta, or a combi-weapon with five configurations (bolter, flamer, melta, plasma, or volkite) – as well as a searchlight, a hunter-killer missile, and cosmetic options such as towing hooks, a dozer blade, and a choice of a Space Marine gunner, spotter, or closed hatch. This kit comprises 204 plastic components, and is supplied with a Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 44 optional markings and icons for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists Legions. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

NECRONS: IMOTEKH THE STORMLORD

Imotekh is a sublimely skilled Necron strategist, wielding his armies with hyperlogical skill and deadly strategic insight. In battle, the Stormlord incinerates enemies with his Gauntlet of Fire, blasts them with pan-dimensional energies from the Staff of the Destroyer, and humbles them in punishing one-on-one duels. As phaeron of the Sautekh Dynasty, with over eighty tomb worlds under his command, Imotekh marches to expand his deathless empire. This multipart plastic kit builds Imotekh the Stormlord, the supreme leader of the Sautekh Dynasty. This imposing phaeron stands tall atop a dais of unearthed Necron architecture, his billowing cloak crawling with scarab-constructs. His left hand is encased in a Gauntlet of Fire, which generates waves of viridian flame, while his right grips the Staff of the Destroyer – his dynasty's deadly icon of office. Imotekh's armoured chestplate and metal brow sport lordly glyphs of Sautekh, while other Necrontyr sigils decorate his ornate mechanical body, proclaiming his rank as ruler of an unliving empire. This kit comprises 15 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

KINGDOM OF BRETONNIA: LORD ON ROYAL PEGASUS (PREORDER FOR 4/5)

The Lords of Bretonnia are renowned warriors – Dukes, Barons, and Paladins who charge out to defend their domains – but only the most wealthy and influential can ride a Royal Pegasus into battle. These proud and intelligent creatures are said to be the purest of their kind, and allow their noble riders to quickly engage and trample the foe in pursuit of honour and glory. This multipart plastic kit builds a Lord of Bretonnia, mounted on a Royal Pegasus – one of the mightiest beasts to grace the Kingdom of Bretonnia's stables. The noble rider can be built in one of two ways – wielding a sword, with an open-faced helm and a finely-decorated flowing cape, or carrying a lance and shield, with their face hidden behind a heraldic helm topped by a shrine to the Lady. The kit also includes a choice of two Royal Pegasus heads, a spare shield and a sheathed sword to hang from its barding, and a chalice for the rider's belt – the perfect symbol for a Duke, Baron, or Paladin who has taken up the Grail Vow. This kit contains 52 plastic components, 1x Citadel 50mm Square Base, and a Bretonnian Transfer Sheet containing 176 high-quality waterslide transfers. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
