Gaunts Ghosts and Cadian Bits Coming Next Week

 


Always fun to tread down the Dan Abnett series and get some miniatures for them. Too much fun. Beyond that time to breathe a little life into those Cadians? Also some Bloodbowl and the new White Dwarf.

GAUNT'S GHOSTS
Our foray into the Black Library starts with The Vincula Insurgency: Ghost Dossier 1, a new tale from the early days of the Tanith First and Only’s history. This book comes in a special mega edition boxed set, complete with a host of extras including two maps, three Imperial coins, a Tanith hat pin, a cloth patch, and more.

In the ruined border town of Vincula, the Ghosts find that something mysterious is stalking them through the streets as they try to enforce peace in a newly liberated world. Discover the dark secrets that shape the regiment and echo throughout their history.

The Tanith aren’t only returning on the page, however. Feast your eyes on the new plastic kit featuring Ibram Gaunt and five of the most well-known Ghosts from their early years.

In addition to being a great collector’s piece, they’re brilliant on the tabletop too. Stay tuned next week as we take a look at how to deploy them in your games of Warhammer 40,000.

For those who really want to delve into the background of The Sabbat Worlds Crusade, a book packed with exhaustive lore, gorgeous artwork, and more will soon be gracing your coffee tables. It’s an essential companion to the Gaunt’s Ghosts series and comes in a stylish limited edition with five commemorative coins and three art prints. 

 

CADIANS

The Tanith aren’t the only regiment seeing new goodies next week, as the Cadian Shock Troops (and the many thousands of regiments that model themselves on them) are set to receive a whole sprue of upgrades that we first saw during Warhammer Fest Online. 

Your squads are more customisable than ever before with 25 new heads (seriously, count them), a full complement of special weapons, and some extra bits and pieces for your long-suffering Sergeants.  






BLOODBOWL
Meanwhile, under the loving gaze of Nuffle, a set of releases is coming for one of Blood Bowl’s more monstrous teams. A Team Card Pack, Dice Set, and Double-sided Pitch and Dugout Set is available to pre-order for Lizardmen teams from Saturday. If you coach this team, it’s a good week to add some crucial accessories to your roster.



WHITE DWARF
Lastly, issue 465 of White Dwarf is just over the horizon. Featuring Crusade rules and background for the Tome Keepers, the White Dwarf team’s home-grown Space Marine Chapter, as well as Hero creation rules for ogors and Mega-Gargants in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, it’s jam-packed with all the Warhammer goodness you know and love. 

Our Japanese customers will need to wait a bit longer for issue 465 to arrive, but issue 464 arrives for pre-order come Saturday.
