Putting On My Soothsayer Hat

 

Shiny Things

Okay I had hoped to get enough saved to get the DA book, some stuff and a PS5 this year, looks like the PS5 might be sliding.

Hellblaster Squad

Imperial observers have likened the fire of a Hellblaster Squad to the incinerating power of a stellar flare. Bolt after bolt of plasma sears across the battlefield; those caught in the Hellblasters’ sights are swiftly annihilated, their armour blasted to ash and their flesh and bone to glowing motes. Even armoured fighting vehicles are swiftly reduced to heaps of metallic slag. Deployed at the correct point and time, a single Hellblaster Squad can blunt the thundering assault of an armoured spearhead, or lay low even the most titanic alien fiend.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a 5-man Primaris Hellblasters Combat Squad, complete with a Sergeant. Clad in Mk X power armour, they eschew the complex variations of wargear many of their battle-brothers carry, preferring instead to focus on and specialise in a single-armament specialism – plasma.

The whole squad can be armed with a host of plasma weaponry – there are 5 plasma incinerators included, with the components required to turn any of them into an assault plasma incinerator or heavy plasma incinerator, depending on your preference. The assault and heavy variants feature alternate muzzles, ammunition flasks and different cabling attaching the weapon to the Hellblasters’ backpack. There are 2 incinerators which are being carried rather than aimed; you have the option to arm a Hellblaster with a plasma pistol in the other hand.

A problem (some call it a bonus…) of plasma weaponry is its tendency to overheat; there are several optional components reflecting this. Bare head options featuring nasty burns are included for the Sergeant, and there are bionic arms included, heavily implying lost limbs in plasma accidents. There are also plenty of pistol holsters, reliquaries, grenade sets and purity seals included.

The Primaris Hellblasters Combat Squad comes as 125 components, and is supplied with 5 Citadel 32mm Round bases and a transfer sheet.

Description

Field a unit of 6 Legio Custodes Aquilon Terminators and leverage a powerful Coronus Grav-carrier to transport them into the fray with this bundle. In it, you’ll receive 2 sets of 3 Legio Custodes Aquilon Terminators:

- Each Terminator is armed with a solerite power gauntlet, with an option of adrathic destructor or lastrum storm bolter in the other hand. Three different helmets are included, with one bare head option. The breastplates, pauldrons and top plates are detailed with Imperial iconography, and there are three plumes, made up of two different designs.

and a Legio Custodes Coronus Grav-carrier:

- Principally used as a transport, the strikingly-designed Legio Custodes Coronus Grav-carrier served as the technological basis for the Pallas and Caladius grav-craft. While its primary function is transporting a unit of warriors into battle, its armaments – hull-mounted Lastrum bolt cannon and turret-mounted Arachnus blaze cannon – ensure that it is more than capable of mounting appropriately aggressive defenses.

The bundle includes 6 50mm round bases, and a 170mm oval base.

Description

The core of the Silent Sisterhood are its Prosecutors, mercilessly effective both in attack and defence. With this bundle you’ll be able to build a 10-model Sisters of Silence Prosecutors Cadre, and a dedicated transport – the Kharon Pattern Acquisitor – with which to ferry them into battle.

It includes 2 Prosecutor Squads – these multi-part plastic kit contains the parts necessary to assemble in total a 10-model Prosecutor Squad, Silent Sisterhood warriors who specialise in longer-range combat with their powerful Umbra-pattern bolters. Two models can be assembled as a Sister Superior, with her own loincloth, shoulder pad, seal and choice of 2 heads.

You’ll also receive 2 Sisters of Silence Prosecutor Cadre Upgrade Sets – each of these is comprised of 10 resin components featuring 5 pairs of arms in dynamic poses holding bolt pistols, each designed to fit a specific model from the plastic Sisters of Silence Prosecutor Squad.

Not only that, but there’s also a Kharon Pattern Acquisitor – this multi-part resin kit contains the parts needed to assemble a Kharon Pattern Acquisitor, a Dedicated Transport for a Talons of the Emperor army list. It’s an interestingly shaped craft, with an almost organic-looking hull dotted all over with the vents and exhausts needed to allow its stealthy movement on the battlefield. There are two options for the access hatch – closed, with thick armour covering it, or open, with the iris door clearly visible, ready to disgorge the warriors inside. The hull contains holes for inserting 2 8mm magnets (not included) to allow you to switch between the closed and open access hatch assemblies on the fly – of course, if you strongly prefer one, you can always glue it in place. As well as these details, the Acquisitor is armed with 2 missile launchers and 2 hellion cannon, one of each placed on either side of the hull.

Supplied with 10 32mm round bases and 2 Burning of Prospero transfer sheets.


Description

Within the ranks of the Legio Custodes, Aquilon Terminator Sodalities were employed rarely but as need dictated, particularly on those rare occasions where the Legio Custodes were required to operate under conditions designated as ‘Zone Mortalis’ or required to storm a breach. In such operations, the Legio was loathe to risk unwarranted loss of life, and the superior defences of the Aquilon Terminator armour was relied upon to mitigate the risk as much as possible as well as provide a platform of mobile heavy firepower.

This multi-part resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble three Legio Custodes Aquilon Terminators. Noticeably more complex-looking than standard Tactical Dreadnought armour, with additional integrated power systems and capacitors adding detail to the model. Each Terminator is armed with a solerite power gauntlet, with an option of adrathic destructor or lastrum storm bolter in the other hand. Three different helmets are included, with one bare head option. The breastplates, pauldrons and top plates are detailed with Imperial iconography, and there are three plumes, made up of two different designs.

This resin kit comes as 43 components, and is supplied with three 50mm round bases. Rules for the Legio Custodes Aquilon Terminators are available in The Horus Heresy Book Seven - Inferno.

Description

The core of the Silent Sisterhood are its Prosecutors, mercilessly effective both in attack and defence. With this bundle you’ll be able to upgrade a 5-model Prosecutor Squad to represent a Prosecutor Cadre. You’ll receive:

- A Prosecutor Squad – this multi-part plastic kit contains the parts necessary to assemble a 5-model Prosecutor Squad, Silent Sisterhood warriors who specialise in longer-range combat with their powerful Umbra-pattern bolters. One model can be assembled as a Sister Superior, with her own loincloth, shoulder pad, seal and choice of 2 heads.

- A Sisters of Silence Prosecutor Cadre Upgrade Set – 10 resin components featuring 5 pairs of arms in dynamic poses holding bolt pistols, each designed to fit a specific model from the plastic Sisters of Silence Prosecutor Squad.

Supplied with 5 32mm round bases and a Burning of Prospero transfer sheet.

Description

When greenskins gather for war, their Shamans build mighty idols of Gorkamorka. Some are formed from the rubble of the Orruks’ recent conquests, mortared with noxious Squiggoth dung. Others are built using strange stone quarried in the deep places of the realms, or even incorporate volatile shards of realmstone or shadeglass within their lumpen forms. Daubed with crude sigils, lit by roaring bonfires, the idols sit silent and menacing as the Shamans dance around them and the tribes bellow their war chants. The idols soak up ever more Waaagh! energy until at last the innate magicks of the greenskins react spontaneously with those of the realms themselves.

This multi-part resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Rogue Idol. An enormous amalgamation of chunks of rock and densely packed soil, it’s covered in details – from the immense bunched fists to the eerily lifelike, hollow eyes (which can be covered with the optional mask), it’ll prove your devotion to the Waaagh! in fine style. The various surface of the model are covered in glyphs and carven symbols declaring praise to Gorkamorka, and the Idol provides some fantastic opportunity for the advanced modeller to go wild – add your own moss and extra rocks!

The Rogue Idol comes as 8 components, and is supplied with a 170x105mm oval base.

Description

Once the Arcus strike tank was one of the most advanced support platforms available to the Space Marine Legions, but for reasons long since lost to the past, the Adeptus Mechanicus holds the pattern as a slight against the Omnissiah and refuses to produce or repair such vehicles. Without the specialised knowledge of the Machine God’s adepts, the advanced launchers of the Arcus have slowly failed and been replaced with more common rotary launchers and stocks of its rare warheads have dwindled. Now it is used by the Space Marine Chapters that retain examples of this rare pattern as a fast strike tank, racing it forwards to saturate a target area with incendiary devices of a more commonplace provenance and using its renowned speed to escape unscathed, enabling them to clear otherwise redoubtable bunkers and fortresses with brutal efficiency.

This multi-part resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Legion Sicaran Arcus Strike Tank. Sharing much of its details with the more common Sicaran Battle Tank, based as it is on the same chassis, this pattern is differentiated by the dual rotary missile launchers that adorn the turret. These are supplied with ammunition by dual curved missile feeds, with a sensor array at the front of the turret providing vital targeting data for the onslaught of explosives. Included are a wealth of other armaments with 2 heavy bolters and 2 lascannon on the sponsons, featuring targeters, ammo drums and shields, and heavy bolter mounted on the hull to the left of the hull’s hatch.

This resin kit comes as 44 components.

The Legion Sicaran Arcus Strike Tank is a Heavy Support choice for the Space Marine Legion army list found in The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes – Age of Darkness Army List book, and an Elites choice with the following keywords in Warhammer 40,000: Imperium, Adeptus Astartes . Rules for fielding the model in both game systems are available as a PDF download.

Description

Built to approach its targets silently and with utmost stealth, the Kharon Pattern Acquisitor is deliberately made to be a thing of mystery and terrorist when its presence is unveiled. Used primarily in a paramilitary role by the Sisters of Silence, it can suppress civilian resistance with lethal effect, its hellion cannon cutting through rampaging mobs and destroying makeshift barricades. Against greater threats, various payloads of missiles can be deployed, including sophisticated antipsyker warheads.

This multi-part resin kit contains the parts needed to assemble a Kharon Pattern Acquisitor, a Dedicated Transport for a Talons of the Emperor army list. It’s an interestingly shaped craft, with an almost organic-looking hull dotted all over with the vents and exhausts needed to allow its stealthy movement on the battlefield.

There are two options for the access hatch – closed, with thick armour covering it,

or open, with the iris door clearly visible, ready to disgorge the warriors inside. The hull contains holes for inserting 2 8mm magnets (not included) to allow you to switch between the closed and open access hatch assemblies on the fly – of course, if you strongly prefer one, you can always glue it in place. As well as these details, the Acquisitor is armed with 2 missile launchers and 2 hellion cannon, one of each placed on either side of the hull.

This kit comes as 19 resin components, and is supplied with a 170 x 105mm oval base and a clear flying stem. Rules for the Sisters of Silence Kharon Pattern Acquisitor are available in The Horus Heresy Book Seven - Inferno.

Legion Sicaran Punisher Assault Tank,

Description

The Punisher-type Sicaran variant came into general use amongst the various Space Marine Legions in the final days of the Great Crusade, however the punisher rotary cannon it mounts has a far older history. Originally mounted on the now rare Cerberus pattern main battle tanks, the punisher had established a reputation as a deadly tool in the eradication of massed conscript infantry or hordes of swarming xenos creatures, limited only by its relatively short range and prodigious appetite for munitions. Married to the Sicaran hull, where the impressive speed of that vehicle effectively negated the short range of the weapon, and the complex feed assemblies developed as part of the various Terran accelerator cannon, the punisher is once again in widespread use among the Legions, though now it is employed against the very warriors it was intended to protect.

This multi-part resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Legion Sicaran Punisher Assault Tank, a Heavy Support choice for Space Marines in The Horus Heresy and an Elites choice in Warhammer 40,000. A high-speed ‘destroyer’ tank, the Sicaran Battle Tank has seen countless battlefields, complementing the more common Predator and Land Raider designs. This variant boasts the same basic hull shape – very much a case of function over form, though its wide tracks and thick armour give the miniature a certain austere charm – with an imposing punisher rotary cannon bolted to the top, ready to fire a ceaseless barrage of high calibre shells.

The hull is covered with details; cables, connectors and ammo feeds for the various weapons (along with the punisher rotary cannon you’ll find 2 lascannon and 3 heavy bolters, one of which is front-mounted), and the tiniest viewing window imaginable. Exclusive to this variant are the special turret head, the rotary cannon itself and a sensor array.

This resin kit comes as 54 components, and rules for using it in games of The Horus Heresy are available as a PDF download.

Description

An impressively obese Smashrip attends the tryouts for the Warpfire Wanderers, but is laughed out of the line-up. His chances aren’t improved when he eats the team’s assistant coach to prove a point, but news travels fast, and it isn’t long before the Skavenblight Scramblers scout him out and offer him a place on their roster. Eventually, after some unpleasantness including a lifetime ban for eating a referee (which was eventually overturned) he became a free agent, bombarded with offers...

Field the gloriously portly Glart Smashrip as a Star Player in your Skaven or Underworld Denizens Blood Bowl teams by picking up this resin kit. The first thing you’ll notice about Glart is his size – there’s no hiding that this is a Skaven of impressive girth, who barely fits into the ramshackle armour that has been attached to his bulk with creaking straps. He isn’t bothering with head protection as there aren’t any helmets that would fit and, honestly, they just get in the way of eating stuff. Luckily, someone has found a swathe of cloth large enough to hide most of his unmentionables, and he features the usual spiky bits on his shoulders and knee pads.

The resin kit comes as 8 components with a 32mm round Blood Bowl base, and Glart’s rules can be found in Blood Bowl Death Zone Season Two!



Description

Collecting together all the splendid Blood Bowl Star Player releases, this bundle is a quick and easy way to pick up these legends of the pitch.

Morg ‘N’ Thorg, the hulking Ogre Blocker who’s willing to play for any team (as long as they’re not Undead…), is a cheerfully brutish miniature covered in vicious spikes. He comes in 30 resin components.

Varag Ghoul-Chewer, the strangely thoughtful Blitzer who can be added to any Orc army, is an especially mean-looking chap clutching a Squig and covered in chunky armour. He comes in 10 resin components.

The Mighty Zug, legendary Human Star Player, is a hefty chunk of meaty strength, with his brutish demeanour and enormous arms. He comes in 7 resin components.

Griff Oberwald, ruggedly handsome and devastatingly quick Human Star Player, comes in 6 resin components.

Hakflem Skuttlespike, the muscular, multi-limbed Skaven nutter of a Star Player comes in 10 resin components.

Grombrindal and the Black Gobbo, 2 Star Players who can join a host of teams (Dwarf, Halfling, Human or Norse and Chaos Renegade, Goblin, Orc or Underworld Denizen) come as 8 resin components.

Grim Ironjaw, notorious Slayer and archetypically splendid of beard, is a Dwarf Star Player who comes as 5 resin components.

Glart Smashrip, impressive in both tooth and girth, is a Skaven and Underworld Denizens Star Player who comes as 8 resin components.

This bundle includes 9 32mm Blood Bowl bases, and rules for of these Star Players can be found variously as cards in the Blood Bowl boxed game, in Death Zone Season 1 and 2 and as a PDF download.
