Fresh from the Warhammer Preview at the Las Vegas Open, the lid’s just been lifted on all kinds of awesome surprises coming in 2020. Let’s take a look. First up – the latest news from the 41st Millennium…
In the grim darkness of the far future, the Psychic Awakening rages on. Heroes have returned. Strange powers have been unleashed. Dark plots are now set in motion. But not everyone in the galaxy is stoked about this violent influx of psychic phenomena. The warriors of Mars have decided to fight back… with SCIENCE!
That’s right – the Adeptus Mechanicus are set for the largest deployment of reinforcements since they launched. There are binharic bucketloads of new models on the way to support the Skitarii and their Tech-Priest overlords. It’s time to bring logic back to the galaxy!
We already know how great Skitarii are, but you know what would make them even better? If they rode cyber-beasts into battle! And if some of those mechanical quadrupeds also breathe fire?! Say hello to the Serberys Sulphurhounds and their skirmishing brethren, the Serberys Raiders. Need something slain fast? These units are the way to go.
Another new unit you can look forward to is the Pteraxii – the winged cousins of the Sicarians. These cyber-bird-men-things don’t just look stunning – they’re ideal support units in the Adeptus Mechanicus roster, capable of dropping in and picking off key targets while the rest of your troops advance.
The Pteraxii and Serberys units both come in dual kits, giving you loads of tactical options when building your models and plenty of nifty spares for customising the rest of your collection.
Rules for these units (and the upcoming Archaeopter!) will be available in Engine War, the latest thrilling instalment in the Psychic Awakening series. This supplement will see the war for the Imperium’s soul kick into high gear, as Imperial Knights, Chaos Knights, the Adeptus Mechanicus and Daemons of Chaos battle amidst revelations of hidden sub-cults, twisted schemes and even more surprises…
But before we get to Engine War, the 41st Millennium will see the return of one of the galaxy’s most notorious greenskins…
If you like your Warhammer in Quest form, there are some exciting developments coming your way. Blackstone Fortress has given us the opportunity to populate its labyrinthine corridors with all manner of obscure beasties and beings. This latest addition just might be the most unexpected.
Zoats. Are. Back. Well, one Zoat.
For those of you wondering what the big green thing in the picture above is, allow us to explain. Back in the distant past of Warhammer 40,000 they were a race of strange creatures who served as heralds for the Tyranid Hive Fleets before disappearing, seemingly forever. (We all assumed they’d just been eaten…)
Now, thanks to our miniatures designers and a healthy dose of nostalgia, we have the first new Zoat in decades, coming soon to a Blackstone Fortress near you.
