This week feels like a filler week but even then there is a lot to check out coming from Games Workshop.

Next week, we have some big releases for Warhammer Underworlds and the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. We also have a range of exciting new books from Black Library. Before we show everything off, let’s check out the highlights.
The Arena of Death
The current season of Warhammer Underworlds comes to a close with Arena Mortis, an exciting expansion that sees between three and six players battle it out with just a single fighter each. Rather than seeking to gain glory by scoring objective cards, Arena Mortis is all about slaying your opponents and, in the arena of death, there can be only one victor.
The Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game is also getting in on the expansion action with the release of Quest of the Ringbearer. It features 28 Narrative Play Scenarios, starting in Farmer Maggot‘s crop in the Shire, and taking you right through to the (spoiler warning) destruction of the One Ring in the fire of Mount Doom. This supplement will be available in both hardback and ePub versions.
Along with those Scenarios, the new supplement includes rules for combining them in an epic campaign alongside additional rules for building your own Fantasy Fellowship. For example, have you ever wondered what would have happened if Faramir had joined the Fellowship instead of Boromir? Now’s your chance to find out!
With several of the Scenarios set in Moria, we’re also re-releasing the classic Mines of Moria Terrain set so you can perfectly recreate Balin’s Tomb.
The set includes Balin’s Tomb, a well, four pillars, two trap doors, four pieces of scatter terrain, and a sturdy set of doors. We doubt that they’ll be able to keep out a Cave Troll though!
Catachan Sergeant “Ripper” Jackson Don’t forget that you can now pick up your Catachan Sergeant “Ripper” Jackson model in Warhammer stores right now.
She’s only available until Sunday the 20th of September, so don’t delay, get down to your local store as soon as possible!
Next week also sees Forge World bringing some reinforcements to the underhive. If you’re a law-abiding gang, you can add Scrutinator-Primus Servalen and her cyber-mastiff KB-88. Servalen comes with plenty of equipment with which to bring justice to Necromunda, while KB-88 can give criminals a nasty surprise with its shock bite.
Also available to pre-order from Friday are two Hangers-on for any gang – the Rogue Doc and Gang Lookout. The Rogue Doc is handy for patching up your badly wounded fighters, and the Gang Lookout helps prevent anyone from sneaking into your base.
Both of these models are also a great base for conversions. We can’t wait to see how you make them fit in with the rest of your gang – make sure that you share your pictures over on the Necromunda Facebook page.
