It's not often we get to see an entirely alien environment in Warhammer, but the new Kill Team: Tomb World gives us just that, as we enter a Necron... Tomb World, well it's all in the name really!!
Kill Team: Tomb World is the largest  
Kill Team set we have seen in a while, and although the Necron minatures aren't that exciting, the environment that comes with the boxed set certainly is! For the Necron hobbyist, this is a fantastic opportunity, with 25 x modular Tomb World pillars and walls as well as scatter terrain of sarcophagus and teleport pads. This is a fantastic opportunity to get into a civilisation, plus there's an 80-page softcover Kill Team: Tomb World Dossier with background, artwork, and rules for the kill teams included in the box, including the new Necron Canoptek Circle Kill Team. They are led by a Cryptek Geomancer, and include 2 x Tomb Crawlers and 5 x Macrocyte Warriors (with options to build the specialist Accelerator and Reanimator). Their adversary... the Deathwatch Kill Team, which inlcudes 10 x multipart Space Marines with all their specialist gear. This is enough f0r two Kill Teams, so go nuts! The set also includes NPCs, with 10 x Necron Warriors and 3 x Canoptek Scarab Swarm. There's also a double-sided folding game board, 37 x Datacards for the Deathwatch and 32 x Datacards for the Canoptek Circle, and the Tomb World Card Pack. It's a hefty box and sure to be popular. Full credit to Games Workshop for creating this awesome terrain - it really brings to Necrons to life... no pun intended!
There's more Kill Team goodness, and this time from the last alien world we got to see, and that's the Killzone Upgrade: Tyranid Infestation, giving us terrain for the Tyranids, there's also the ​Kill Team: Raveners and the Kill Team: Raveners Datacards. Their adversary, the Adeptus Mechanicus also rolls into town with the Kill Team: Battleclade and their Kill Team: Battleclade Datacards. As a great addition to the Imperial ranks, there's also the Sisters Novitiate Squad, and the amazing Ork Kommandos.
This week saw the preview for the exclusive Warhammer+ Year 5 miniature, which goes on pre-order this week too. You can pick from the really dynamic Aeldari – Infinity’s Lament or the malevolent Soulblight Gravelords – The Summons. They're both excellent, unlike some of the Warhammer+ content we've seen, but maybe the miniature alone is worth it. They're both gorgeous.
In books this week we have the Special Edition of Assassinorum: Kingmaker, plus it's a White Dwarf week coming up, so we have White Dwarf 515 on pre-order too.

In Made to Order this week, we have some lovely Eldar and some not-so lovely Emperor's Children!
Lovely metal miniatures of your favourite old school Aeldari include the Classic Eldrad Ulthran, Farseer and Warlocks, the Phoenix Court of Khaine (Avatar of Khaine, Baharroth, Karandras, Asurmen, Jain Zar, Maugan Ra, Fuegan), and the plastic Webway Gate, which should be a shelf item in all stores frankly! It not being so is a diservice to Aeldari players! All these sculpts (from memory) are classic Jes Goodwin and beautiful reminders of his amazing work. 
In the absolute opposite camp, we have the Emperor's Children Heroes (Emperor's Children Lord, Fabius Bile, and Lucius the Eternal), Classic Noise Marines, and the awesome plastic Noise Marine. This should also be a line item in stores - damn them for ever removing it.

After a hiatus away from the XIIth Legion War Hounds, the new Horus Heresy has brought them back. The colour scheme has been tweaked, there's some new units, and boy do those MKII marines look AWESOME!! Click the image below to take you there! 

Grand Alliance Cathay have had a bit of a stange release - the normal army box, then some staggered other minis and now these guys. It almost seems like a diservice to some great miniatures and a really interesting culture we haven't seen before. Anyway, this week we have a varied pre-order week starting off with the afore-mentioned Grand Cathy! The new Arcane Journal: Dawn of the Storm Dragon gives us rules for allying with Empire of Man, an expanded history of Grand Cathay and much more as we get to know more. We're finally getting not only one of the brilliant new dragon models in the form of ​Miao Ying, the Storm Dragon, but also the core of the Grand Cathay army, the Jade Warriors and Jade Lancers. These are brilliantly detailed miniatures and deserve a much greater fanfare - one does wonder if it's because these aren't being put out by the main studio... The other miniature release is the Grand Cannon & Fire Rain Rocket Battery which captured the imagination of hobbyists with the highly detailed crews. Surely this will be the inspiration for many dioramas. Lastly, the new The Northern Provinces of Grand Cathay Transfer Sheet is also on pre-order and it's great! In the tradition of the Horus Heresy transfer sheets this beauty will not only add a tonne of flavour to your troops, but will surely go like hotcakes.
If you like your battles "grand" but not Warhammer: The Old World, then Legions Imperialis is for you, and this week we have the pre-orders for the new Legions Imperialis: Liber Strategia, which has the army lists for Legiones Astartes, Solar Auxilia, Mechanicum Taghmata, Dark Mechanicum, Collegia Titanica, and Knight Households plus rules for bonded automata in allied units. Adding to the new book we have the new plastic Whirlwind and Scorpius Missile Tank Squadrons, Vindicator Siege Tank Squadron, Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer Squadron, Typhon Heavy Siege Tank Squadron and Mastodon Super-heavy Assault Transports. In terms of rules there's the Datasheet Cards for Legiones Astartes, Solar Auxilia and Mechanicum, plus some new plastic Legions Imperialis: Order Tokens and Objective Markers.
From the world of Middle-Earth the new resin Gundabad Catapult Troll makes his debut. He's a large lad and so is his price tag, but damn is he cool!! Also this week are two great looking minis War Drakes of Rhûn.

Although the gory nature of the Death faction in Warhammer Age of $igmar might not everyone's cup of tea (except you sick-sick Nurgle hobbists) you have to admit that the Death faction have some absolutely amazing looking miniatures - and they just seem to be getting better!
Nighthaunt, the embodiment of all things that go bump in the night, lead us off this week with a new Battletome, which comes in Did You Just Hear? That Gamer's Edition and Venkman Ectoplasm Standard Edition. There's two new minis in this edition, with the Knight of Shrouds (available for the first time seperately) and the noxious Lord Vitriolic, with the cutest little apothecary rack on his back you ever-did see! 
Sporting a good mix of troops, the new Spearhead: Nighthaunt – Cursed Shacklehorde gives you a ready to play set that would be a great fun boost to your existing forces or maybe the start to something fun and new. As we would expect there are the Nighthaunt Warscroll Cards and ​Nighthaunt Dice making up the rest of the pre-orders for them this week.
Meanwhile, on the stinkier ghoulish end of the Death faction (don't tell them, they think they're very regal and glamorous), we have the Flesh-eater Courts! Heading up the wave there is the Flesh-eater Courts Battletome which comes in Imperious Exemplar Gamer's Edition and Jeepers Shaggy Standard Edition. There's a new ghoul on the block for the Flesh-eater Courts, with High Falconer Felgryn making his debut too - where do these ghouls find so many tree stumps to hang from? There's also two new sets - the Regiment of Renown: The Scarlet Jury with ole Guts Head Grand Justice Gormayne and his Royal Decapitator minion, or you could go with a brilliant core set, the Spearhead: Flesh-eater Courts – Charnel Watch. This latter set is absolutely brilliant, with an Abhorrant Gorewarden, 6 x Crypt Flayers/ Crypt Horrors, and 10 characterful Royal Beastflayers. Packed with great minis, this is a must have! For the gamers out there we also have the Flesh-eater Courts Warscroll Cards and the Flesh-eater Courts Dice.
​In books this week we have the new Chaos-themed Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen in Limited Edition, with an awesome cover, and the new Legend of Sigmar omnibus by Graham McNeill in paperback. The omnibus includes the novels, Heldenhammer, the David Gemmell Legend Awarding Empire, and God King, as well as short stories Let the Great Axe Fall, Gods of Flesh and Blood and Sword Guardian.

I was tooling around in the New Releases part of Warhammer.com and saw these which had slipped our gaze before - classic Perry Twins metal goodness. These miniatures are smaller than the current rangte (not much smaller, but smaller) but have so much character and presence. We have the Classic Peasant Bowmen Command, Classic Peasant Bowmen, Classic Men-at-Arms with Halberds Command (absolutely one of the best!!), Classic Men-at-Arms with Halberds (also excellent - need/want!), and the Classic Men-at-Arms with Spears Command with their Classic Men-at-Arms with Spears. Keep in mind that these are Made To Order, so could take up to 180 days to get to you.

The first release of the Leagues of Votann went badly... overpowered, terrible rules, recall of the Codex, by The Gods it did not go well. Now we get the new era of the Leagues of Votann with some new fluff, and the Squats extinction story from Hive Fleet Leviathan now codified in their backstory. Yes it happened. No not everyone died. They're back and grumpy. That's pretty much it - saved you reading the new Codex. Speaking of the new Codex, the new Leagues of Votann Codex comes in Armoured Beard Collector's Edition and Retro Juggernaut Standard Edition. Fingers crossed this one is a lot better than their launch! God they're so cool, please be good...
This release comes with some significant additions to the background, a new anti-Tyranid hero in the form of Buri Aegnirssen, Arkanyst Evaluator - a mad scientist with nuts weapons and the sentient Ironkin Memnyr Strategist. The big addition are the Ironkin Steeljacks, larger stronger warriors powered by the same CU that powers any other Ironkin, just taller with bigger guns. An interesting addition to the range is the Cthonian Earthshakers, which reintroduces the Rogue Trader-era Mole Mortar to Warhammer 40K. Sending projectiles down and then up, instead of up and then down, these weapons can get under walls and bit vehicles in their soft underbelly. Speaking of vehicles, there's a new grav-platform in town and it's the Kapricus Defender/Carrier combi-kit. Again drawing on the tech from Rogue Trader, this light transport/ light support vehicle could be a great option for your Leagues of Votann force, or even as terrain or a vehicle in Necromunda. Repackaging minis from the first and second wave, the Combat Patrol: Leagues of Votann gives you an Einhyr Champion, 3 x Brôkhyr Thunderkyn, 5 x Einhyr Hearthguard and 10 x Hearthkyn Warriors - a solid warrior cadre to start with! Of course we also get the Leagues of Votann Datasheet Cards and some pretty Leagues of Votann Dice.
​It's not all short dudes with big guns this week, it's also big dudes with bigger guns as the Space Marine Salamamaders Chapter gets some love. We have the new Primaris-ified Vulkan He'stan, a new Combat Patrol: Salamanders which includes the awesome Adrax Agatone, an Invader ATV, 3 x Eradicators, 5 x Assault Intercessors and 10 of the all-important Infernus Marines - they are Salamanders after all. There's also some shiny Salamanders Dice on pre-order this week too!
It's not all good guys this week though, Khorne has a new Slaughterbound champion, and Nurgle emerges with the very cool Lord of Poxes. Get stuffed, Nurgle, I'm not taking the bait.
In books this week we have a Nurgle-themed The Lords of Silence in a really nice looking Illustrated and Annotated Edition, The High Kâhl's Oath in paperback and the Imperial Guard-themed ​​Final Deployment also in paperback.

Well today is the day that Horus Heresy 3.0 (or maybe 3.1 after the changes to the Legends list that's been delayed) really hits it's strides with the release of individual kits from the Starter Box plus a few other tid-bits.
It's only fair to start with the boss, and here he is, the ​Saturnine Praetor in all his immense glory. There's been a lot of senseless whinging about this model since release - he's too big, he's too complicated etc etc - and frankly it needs to stop! 1) This is a mark of armour from a bygone era, it's not going to match the size of 30K armour - get over it! 2) For a miniature of such importance in your army, and this price he costs in points and money, don't you want him to have lots of options? Don't you want him to be a modelling challenge? Don't you want him to be fun to paint? Honestly, can the Community (and by that I mean the YouTubers) please shut the **** up? For those of us who want value, want a challenge and want to enjoy our painting experience, this model is great, this model is fine, this model is something thgat deserves time and attention. Please STOP! 
Okay, back to the show... a favourite from this range is the new Centurion with Power Maul who manages to carry weight, power and authority all in this one miniature. He can be built without his cape, but some parts of the arms and shoulders are attached to the cape, so be aware. He's a brilliant model and will be back here at HQ ASAP. With Terminators now being Heavy rather than Elite, maybe this is in the wrong order, but we also have the Saturnine Terminator Squad - which sort of misses for me. The underslung weapons as opposed to a power fist and hand-held weapon taking it right back to the old school days would have been preferred, but there you go. They still look cool and come with weapon and head options. The MKII Tactical Squad that we showed two weeks ago now has an off-shoot with the MKII Veteran Squad with Disintegrator Weapons. I was surprised the Tactical Squad didn't come with the Disintegrator weapons, but now there's the Veteran Squad it makes more sense. Speaking of which, you can n0w get the Disintegrator Weapons Upgrade Set individually as well! The combi-Bolter with Disintegrator looks so great too. The Praetor may be large, but check this guy out - the Saturnine Siege Dreadnought. He comes in two flavours; Chiron Configuration and Ophion Configuration, with the Saturnine Dreadnought Weapons – Chiron Configuration and Saturnine Dreadnought Weapons – Ophion Configuration also available a seperate items. Slight bone to pick here in terms of lore; from memory the heavy plasma bombard is a Mechanicum weapon made on Mars, so why is it on a mech made on Saturn? Did I miss something? Open to being corrected. The Adeptus Astartes don't just have troops today, they also have big guns, with the Araknae Quad Accelerator Platform available to order too. Armed with twice the weapons you would find on a Sicaran turret, that's some serious firepower, and sure to end up on the chassis of some vehicle at some point. Making it's way from the dim-distant past of two weeks ago, the original Drop Pod returns, this time in the guise of the Legion Drop Pod. After some crtitical feedback on the new Drop Pod from the Community, it seems Games Workshop have rolled this old lady out to the Heresy hobbyists and players. It will be interesting to see if this delays any of the Heresy-specific marks of Drop Pod being released. In terms of play accessories, we have the Age of Darkness Markers and Tokens and the Age of Darkness Dice Set. In books we have the (deep breath) The End and the Death: Volume III - The Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra Book 8 in paperback... yes it's the end. The end-end! Until that boring omnibus comes out in paperback. And to prove it's the end... look here's a map to find your way - it's the ​Here is Where it Will End Map.
