It is really starting to feel like we did something wrong...
Anyway, let's have a look at the two books the Southern Hemisphere will get, then onto the joyous bounty that the rest of the world will be furiously ordering this weekend. Can you imagine being a Warhammer store manager and watching zero people coming through the door due to lack of pre-orders and new products on the shelves? It must be so dispiriting.

The new novel by David Annandale, Callis & Toll, based around the Saviours of Cinderfall (available to pre-order this weekend) is out and about in hardback, and Dan Abnett's classic Riders of the Dead is available in Black Library Celebration 2024 paperback format.
The next in the Age of $igmar series of expansions, Dawnbringers: Book V: Shadow of the Crone is here. Available in Crusty Wings Limited Edition and Colonisation is Not Cool These Days Standard Edition, the two enlightened forces of wonder and light are forging their way across the darkened lands, establishing settlements where they weren't before and pissing off the people they are stealing land from! AAAAH Games Workshop, you picked a bad time for this narrative. You have to laugh!
With this expansion we get some lovely boxes, including the cover girl Krethusa Croneseer available for the first time in the Krethusa’s Cronehost. The minis included with her have been released in innumerable boxes before, but she is a great miniature, and probably an early contender for Golden Demon painters. We spoke about the new Callis & Toll book earlier, well here they are - and their band of friends and fiends - in the Saviours of Cinderfall set. The old lady in this set is a must-have. She would be an amazing Rogue Trader/ Necromunda Lord/ Town Mayor/ Space Marine toothbrush, even! Brining together most of the recent Flesh-eater Courts releases, we have the Spearhead: Flesh-eater Courts. Quite a neat set, if a bit... ghoulish. A free pun for you this weekend, from us to you! Now the forces of good and shiny get a boost with the Spearhead: Cities of Sigmar collecting much of the Cities of Sigmar Army Box, plus the excellent Freeguild Cavalier-Marshall and an Ironweld Great Cannon. Damn good set! Speaking of shiny, the Dominion boxed set lives on with the Spearhead: Stormcast Eternals parceling some of that set with the excellent Stormstrike Chariot. Are you a terrain guy or gal? Well you're in luck, with the Elder Gnarloak, Idol of Motzlpota, and Starfire Pylon (need/want) all available separately, plus the much-loved Ogor Mawpit.
