SHADOW OF THE EIGHTH (PAPERBACK)

A Minka Lesk Novel


As Cadia burned, one young recruit rose to prominence. Now a respected captain, Minka Lesk and her Cadian 101st are on a mission to track down the missing 8th Regiment on a nightmarish war-wracked planet.


READ IT BECAUSE


The next chapter in Minka Lesk's saga after her battles in Traitor Rock explores both the horror and glory of the Cadian legacy in a violent galaxy.


THE STORY


The forces of Cadia struggle ever onward, desperate to avenge the destruction of their home world and prove that even in the wake of profound loss, they remain the exemplars of the Astra Militarum.


When Minka Lesk and the Cadian 101st discover a relic of the missing Cadian 8th – thought lost in the planet’s defence – they see an opportunity to right a past wrong, and follow the trail to Telken’s Rest, a world at the core of the Chaos warlord Drakul-zar’s collapsing regime.


But the Imperium are not the only force to pounce upon the carcass of Telken’s Rest, and Minka soon discovers that there are dark secrets hidden amidst the icy sprawl of hab blocks and manufactoria. As the past comes back to haunt them, the Cadian 101st face a choice – will they stand firm and do what needs to be done, or will the spectre of what they have lost lead them astray?

These models include: 24x Stormcast EternalsThe chosen champions of Sigmar, plucked from their mortal bodies at the moment of their death and Reforged to fight once more. Each Stormcast Eternal is a nigh-immortal warrior, capable of fighting hordes of the fiercest foes and emerging victorious. - 1x Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker – Commanders of the Ruination chambers, these warriors wield axes that turn foes to ash with a single strike, while their Gryph-stalker mounts mark foes for death with an ominous and accursed caw.- 1x Lord-Terminos with 1x Memorian – Armed with a sacred executioner's blade, Lords-Terminos are burdened with the duty of putting their fellow Stormcast Eternals to rest and releasing their tormented souls, never to be Reforged again.- 1x Lord-Veritant with 1x Gryph-crow – Few Stormcast Eternals are as dreaded as the Lord-Veritants. Chosen from those whose hatred of Chaos eclipses all else, they hunt corruption wherever it lurks, using their burning swords and lanterns to expose ruinous taint.- 1x Knight-Questor – Sigmar has chosen each Knight-Questor to undertake a mission of the utmost import. These questing warriors strive to complete their mysterious tasks, no matter the cost – allowing none to undermine the God-King’s will.- 3x Reclusians with 2x Memorians – Reclusians stride to battle on only the darkest days, for these immortal warriors hover on the precipice of losing their humanity entirely, and their lightning-scoured souls are particularly resistant to the corrosion of Chaos.- 3x Prosecutors – Prosecutors streak through the heavens like vengeful meteors, carried on burning wings. Such are the dangers faced by these angelic warriors that many are now assigned to the Ruination chambers, to serve as merciless instruments of Sigmar’s justice.- 10x Liberators – To the Liberators falls the duty of casting down the warlords of ruin and stamping Sigmar’s claim upon the realms. Clad in thunderstrike armour, they can withstand the blows of insidious hordes and the foul magic of corrupted battlefields alike. 50x SkavenFor centuries, the perfidious ratmen known as the Skaven scurried out of sight, rising only to bombard their foes with hideous mutants, magical machines, and overwhelming numbers. Now they erupt across the realms in explosive boils of corruption, their schemes finally bearing fruit. - 1x Clawlord on Gnaw-Beast – Clawlords are the most accomplished Skaven war-leaders. Clad in heavy armour and wielding blades marked by fell runes, they drive their hordes to conquer, screeching threats from atop their horrific Gnaw-beast mounts.- 1x Grey Seer – Most devious of all Skaven, Grey Seers are the sorcerous agents of the Masterclan, who work to manipulate their society from the shadows. Identifiable by their horns and ashen fur, they possess a terrifying mastery of dark magic.- 1x Warlock Engineer – The Warlocks of the engineering Clans Skryre drive the industry of all Skavendom. However, they are all utterly insane, and obsessed with crafting ever more inventive weapons of death.- 1x Ratling Warpblaster – Ratling Warpblasters are designed to cull massed infantry, using a complex series of rotary cannons to spit out a torrent of warpstone-infused missiles. Anyone caught in their path must dive for cover or be reduced to bloody mist.- 3x Rat Ogors – These rabid mutants are created by fusing Skaven flesh with muscled bulk of ogors through vile surgery, cryptosorcery, and toxic serums. Consumed by pain and gnawing hunger, Rat Ogors tear at their enemies in a blind fury.- 3x Warplock Jezzails – Skilled Skaven snipers crew Warplock Jezzails, which can spit death from a distance. These gunners use highly pressurised warpstone gas to launch deadly shards across the battlefield, picking off the most impressive targets they can spot.- 40x Clanrats – Clanrats are the dregs of Skaven society, considered utterly disposable by their masters. Motivated by hunger, fear, and ambition, Clanrats fight on no matter how many are crushed, stabbed, or cut down, armed with whatever rusted blades they can scrounge. 4x plastic push-fit terrain features: This terrain set shows fractured Sigmarite architecture that has been desecrated with the twisted icons and aesthetics of the Skaven. It is also ideal for playing out the Spearhead games featured in the Spearhead: Fire and Jade book. All miniatures come supplied with their appropriate bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints. 36x Spearhead cards: These cards contain Twist cards and Battle Tactics ready for you to shuffle and draw during your Spearhead games. 17x General's Handbook cards: This card deck is for quick reference during matched play games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, including 2024-25 Season Rules cards, Battle Tactics cards, Battleplan cards, and a Score card. 1x 6" plastic range ruler and 1x 3" plastic range ruler: Featuring sculpted skull and rat icons to designate inches, these range rulers can be used separately, or pushed together to make a single 9" range ruler for use in your games.
