With news this morning that Spartan Games and Tor Games were going out of business, the dominant player in the market - Games Workshop - have released their list of pre-orders for next week and after a few weeks of bumper releases, it's finally calming down a bit!
The next in what can only be an innumerable line of Age of $igmar add-ons, Blightwar, is on it's way! Again centring around Nurgle (FFS, Nurgle again? This is the third or fourth Nurgle release window since 2015) we get a collection of larger models, which interestingly we don't get a sprue breakdown on the Games Workshop site of, so I suppose these are full multi-part multi-pose kits. For the price, one would hope so! Not cheap!
Also next week the 30th Anniversary White Dwarf is out, with a recreation of the Rogue Trader cover on the front. This is also the "free gift" (woop-dee-doo, GW, where's my free mini?) inside in the form of a poster. Do people still do posters?
In the world of books, The Legend of Sigmar anthology book is out by Graham McNeil. This includes the previously released Heldenhammer, Empire and God-King novels. Dan Abnett's Ravenor Rogue is also out, which caps off his trilogy set around the Inquisition. No one expects the Inquisition!
Dan Abnett & Graham McNeil in the same week - Gods of Horus Heresy fluff - who would have thunk it?!
-
Incidentally, two things - this week sees the release of a number of Age of $igmar boxed sets that we spoke about last week.These are well priced and could save you at least $40, so it's a good chance to army build or start something new.
Also, we've started having problems with receiving the White Dwarf again, often receiving it later than it's street date, so unless we get it early we figured that doing a sneak peak was a bit silly. Here's hoping it starts arriving on time or early again soon.

Happy hobby!
