GW Christmas Preview: Battleforces, Terrain Boxsets, and The Black Fortress


Here it is, a first look at the previews coming this Christmas. A good look at the terrain boxes, only two of the upcoming batttleforces and of course... Blackstone Fortress.

On those paint bundles, they need to come out quickly or I will just get some local paint from the shops as I am running low, but Im excited to see them coming.

Did you think the first 10 months of this year were pretty cool? Well, November is going to blow your socks off, which will be handy, as you can use them as stockings for all the awesome things we’re bringing out in time for Christmas…
Today, we’re giving you a bit of a preview of the great line-up of models, hobby supplies, bundles and boxed games on their way over the coming weeks… 

Scenery Bundles

Available to pre-order next weekend, come a host of board-filling scenery sets for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Each contains a gaming-table’s worth of terrain, and are the perfect way to embark upon building that awesome board you’ve always dreamed of. And if you’re looking for a gift for a gamer, these sets are ideal, as they will be relevant whatever army they play.

And let’s face it Sylvaneth fans – you really can never have enough Wyldwoods.

Painting Bundles

There’s also a swathe of new painting sets on the horizon, letting you take full advantage of the Citadel Paint System by getting a great selection of options from the Layer, Shade or Air ranges – plus a project box to boot.
There’s also an Ultimate Project Paint Set, for those of you in serious need of a stock up across all your colours or who are about to embark on a major painting project.

Hobby Tools

Remember life before the Citadel Painting Handle? We can’t.
If you’re anything like us, this unassuming little tool quickly established itself as one of your essential painting companions. And, alongside our best-ever water pot, it will soon be joined by 2 new handy tools. The first of these is a larger painting handle that can hold model bases as large as that of a Redemptor Dreadnought, so you can get a grip on any size of project. The second is an “armed” version that can hold multiple components in place while painting – giving you the advantages of painting by component, and of painting a fully assembled miniature all at once!


Battleforces

What would Christmas be without some new Battleforces? There’s nothing quite like cracking open one of these massive boxed sets and basking in the glorious miniature goodness within – and the fact they save you a few bucks doesn’t hurt either.
On shelves in early December, the battleforce offer this year will include both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar armies – 10 in total. These are brilliant ways to kick off a new collection, each packed with great units that any army can use, meaning even if you’ve already got a considerable collection, you’ll find lots of stuff in these sets you can use.
We’ll have more details on what to expect closer to the time, but for now, here’s a preview of two of them…

Also landing in time for Christmas will be one of the most anticipated releases of the year land, with Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress. In this new game, you’ll have the chance to dive into one of the 41st Millennium darkest mysteries in thrilling cooperative adventures.
Working with your friends, you’ll choose from a cast of heroes and battle your way to the heart of a Blackstone fortress in search of glory and secrets… (also, monsters).
We’re incredibly excited to share Blackstone Fortress with you guys – this is a roleplaying boardgame of exploration and adventure unlike anything you’ve seen before – and includes some new Warhammer 40,000 models that you will not believe… For now, suffice to say, you should save a space on your Christmas list for this one.
We’ll have more details on all of these releases, and more, for you soon.
