Boxing Day Goodies From Games Workshop & Forge World

26/12/2020

Merry Christmas to you and yours and hopefully a healthy and happy 2021 for all.
Games Workshop and their friends as Forge World have two Christmas models for us this year, and both available now! First up is Gorzag Gitstompa and Nikkit, who you may remember from the cover of the old Gorkamorka game. That art is floating around again at the moment, so go check it out. The mini is in stores today and then online some time in the future. Considering the state of various lockdowns around the world, having an instore miniature seems pretty poor timing.
Forge World, meanwhile have brought out Saul Tarvitz, Captain of the Emperor’s Children 10th Company during the Horus Heresy and staunch loyalist even as his Legion gave into their base selves.

Maybe these will inspire a new force for you, or pad out existing ones, either way, have a great Boxing Day, stay safe and enjoy the day off if you have it!

Van Saar Get Airborne, Spooky Football & Crappy Photoshop

Fan-favourite Necromunda is getting a boost this week with an addition to the Van Saars with their new background and rules book House of Artifice. Not only do we get new fluff, there's some new miniatures, with the Archeoteks & Grav-cutters giving you some heavy-hitters and fast attack. It will be interesting to see how people use these or if they will just be used for bitz to change the poses of the current range. As well as the new minis and book there's the Van Saar Gang Tactics 2nd Edition cards and the House of Artifice Dice Set.
Blood Bowl also gets a nice new set of minis and more additions to the 2nd Edition rollout with the very cool Necromantic Horror Blood Bowl Team: The Wolfenburg Crypt-Stealers, the dazzling Necromantic Horror Team Dice and of course the Necromantic Horror Team Card Pack. There's also a Necromantic Horror Pitch with the double-sided pitch and dugouts. The Skaven and Dwarves get some love too with the Skaven and Dwarf Pitch, Dwarf Team Cards and Dwarf Team Dice and Skaven Team Cards and Skaven Team Dice. As with all Blood Bowl releases of late, we also get the next Spike! Journal, Issue 11.
As with recent weeks, there are stocking stuffers, this week from Koyo with the Warhammer 40,000 – Mystery Faction Pin Badge and the Warhammer 40,000 – Paint Your Own Space Marine Pin Badge. Now I've left the picture below to show you not only the atrocious Photoshop but also it seems Duncan has been long forgotten as there's no thinning of the paint going on there!
In books this week there's also The Helwinter Gate (Limited Edition) super-duper Space Wolves adventure.

What's better than a 10-man Heavy Support squad wielding Volkite Culverins?
A 10-man Heavy Support squad wielding mastercrafted Volkite Culverin!!
Meet the Legion Consul Armistos, a backrow leader and heavy hitter who can do just that to your Heavy Support squads. This miniature was a bit of a modelling challenge - not only a senior character with a big gun but the first attempt at working out what mastercrafted weapons would look like.

Slaanesh gets some more goodies in the latest Warhammer Underworlds expansion, Direchasm... oh and so do the Cow Elves! Although a small set, Direcasm adds some great new minis to two new-ish factions, including the Slaangor, a Slaanseshi Beastman. To add to the set there are also the Direchasm Counter Set and the Direchasm Deck Box to keep your game cards safe, plus two new dice packs, one for Grand Alliance Order and one for Chaos.
Warcry never wants to be left out and generally steals the limelight, this time with some boxed sets, the two new Khainite Shadowstalkers and Scions of the Flame, plus ones for the Sylvaneth and Legions of Nagash. Warcry is also introducing a number of new rulebooks and guides, first is the Tome of Champions 2020, then one for each major faction; Sentinels of Order, Harbingers of Destruction, Agents of Chaos and Bringers of Death. There's also some nice new dice sets, one each for Agents of Chaos, Bringers of Death, Harbingers of Destruction and Sentinels of Order.
As we come up to Xmas, there's always the stocking stuffers, and this week we have the Horus Heresy: Legion Pin Badges II and the Black Library Character Cloth Patch Set... does anyone do patches anymore?
In books we have the Lone Wolves graphic novel, the Direchasm short story collection in Hardback which comes with 3 alternative-art cards for your games, and the Ephrael Stern Heretic Saint in Hardback.
If you're into Warhammer Underworlds, then pre-order it this weekend and you'll potentially get one of the limited edition Direchasm Commemorative Coins.
