The next chapter in Warhammer 40,000’s Psychic Awakening is nearly upon us, not to mention some great new reads!
The Cicatrix Maledictum has torn through the galaxy, emboldening the greenskin menace across the galaxy. This coming week, pre-orders will go live for Saga of the Beast, which features both Ragnar Blackmane and Ghazghkull Thraka!
Watch this video to see what’s coming up at a glance, then read on for more details!
It’s a test of cunning, rage and brutality on both sides! The savage Space Wolves go toe to toe with the largest Ork Waaagh! seen for thousands of years. The Prophecy of the Wolf battlebox promises a truly epic clash between Ragnar Blackmane and Ghazghkull Thraka – both are back in action and stronger than ever before!
This weighty box contains everything you need to stage your own slugfest throwdowns between Ragnar’s Space Wolves and Ghazghkull’s Great Waaagh!, including a book packed with gripping stories and missions to play. Not only do you get two forces – Space Marines and Orks – but this is currently the only way to get the astonishing updated models of two beloved characters of the 41st Millennium.
Ragnar has crossed the Rubicon Primaris, and he’s ready to lead the pack to hunt! Even in his new armour, he’s instantly recognisable, and his aggressive pose perfectly captures the indomitable spirit of the Space Wolves. If you’re looking to bolster a Space Wolves army (or start a new one), this updated classic is the perfect choice to command them.
Not to be outdone, Ghazghkull has undergone something of a transformation himself, truly earning his nickname – “The Beast”. Every self-respecting Ork Waaagh! will want the prophet of Gork and Mork driving them to further acts of wanton destruction. Painters all around the world could be heard uttering an audible gasp upon seeing this remarkable model for the first time.
And let’s not forget about Makari, his lucky standard bearer, who makes a triumphant (if somewhat dubious) return with his own new model.
Don’t call him a sidekick – Makari has amassed a cult following of his own. Stronger than ever, he’s returned after putting paid to the nasty rumour of his untimely end. He brings with him his signature 2+ invulnerable save and infamous luck which makes Ghazghkull and nearby Goff Orks even harder to shift. On top of that, nearby Goff Gretchin are inspired by his very presence – he’s a real hero of the people.
As great as Ragnar and Ghazghkull (and Makari) are, there’s much more to love about this battlebox. You’ll get 10 Primaris Space Marines that can be built as Infiltrators or Incursors, five Ork Nobz and three Ork Meganobz, not to mention an Ammo Runt and a Grot Oiler. Prophecy of the Wolf also includes a 32-page book chock full of art, background material and rules to recreate the culmination of this bloody campaign for yourself.
While the battlebox focuses on the knock-down-drag-out combat at the centre of the war, Psychic Awakening: Saga of the Beast dives deep into the core of the Space Wolves and the Orks. You’ll find more missions, plus updated rules and loads of new options for both sides.
Available in both hardback and digital editions, this 80-page book describes the greenskin unification known as the Great Waaagh! alongside the prophecies and visions of the Rune Priests that informed Ragnar’s vow to end it.
This book is essential for collectors of both Space Wolves and Orks – you’ll find new Stratagems, updated and expanded datasheets, Relics, psychic powers and even rules for giving your Ork vehicles Kustom Jobs and creating Specialist Mobs.
We’ll have a lot more to say about this throughout the week, so check back to get the full scoop.
If you’re a dedicated Son of Russ or devotee of Gork (or maybe Mork) you’ll want to get the collector’s edition of Saga of the Beast while you can.
This stunning tome features black page edges, a black ribbon bookmark and a soft-touch finish with debossed details and full artwork on the front and back. Not only do you get all the rules, art and background from the standard book, but this edition also includes extra material from the Prophecy of the Wolf campaign book, plus four short stories originally published right here on the Warhammer Community site.
