The Horus Heresy isn’t just Hypermen vs Hypermen, it’s also Arcane Robotmen vs Arcane Robotmen, and with the pre-order for the new Journal Tactica: Skitarii – The Steel Hand of Mars up this weekend, we get even further into the depths of the Mechanicum. This supplement (sadly only 48 pages) gives us the background to the new Skitarii Battle-Pilgryms miniatures, plus new missions and rules for various Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym commanders and formations, the Bonepicker hosts, and vehicles like the Skitarii Triaros Armoured Conveyor, Skitarii Karacnos Assault Tank, Skitarii Krios Battle Tank, and Skitarii Krios Venator Tank Destroyer. This new information goes very handily with the all-new Mechanicum Skitarii Battle Group which includes the Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Marshal, 16 x Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Corpus miniatures (with multiple head options) and the Vultarax Stratos-Automata (which may look familiar to Nurgle fans and enemies alike). Overall the new Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym seem very disappointing, with their kangaroo-like legs (seen on some other 40K Mechanicus minis) and their ragged attire. Maybe it goes with the fluff, but it’s a huge move away from the Skitarii we see in 40K and the Skitarii we have seen in resin for Horus Heresy from Forgeworld before.
Speaking of Horus Heresy, and Forgeworld come to think of it, we have two new resin models – the mighty Angron Transfigured, and Lotara Sarrin – Mistress of the Conqueror. The Angron has all the hallmarks of a Forgeworld kit, with sharp lines and very static pose – unfortunately the real thing that detracts from this model is its obviously incorrect scale. Have a look at the size of the heads and skulls around his neck… is this Angron’s little brother? Considering the hulking versions we have had before, this is a truly disappointing model, especially as this is him in his Transfigured state! Lotara Sarrin is a different matter – a really nice little model, with with her multiple World Eaters icons she could be nobody else in this universe! Pity she’s resin though.
It’s been a while since we’ve had some Lord of the Ring/ The Hobbit action, and but with the new Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game Journal: The Treachery of Gollum we have a few things for fans of this system. The expansion contains nine new “Narrative Scenarios” with a “Linked Campaign System” which is meant to connect each of the Narrative Scenarios so that the result of one battle will have an impact on the next. Rad idea! There’s also Painting Guides, Hobby Tutorials for the webbed tunnels of Shelob’s lair, the sewers of Osgiliath, and the Dead Marshes. In terms of miniatures there is the new The Path of Cirith Ungol: Shelob & Gollum, a really nice diorama of sorts showing the characters in situ. The other set is the new and very cool Foot Knights of Dol Amroth. Both kits are plastic, so give you the option for easy conversion. There’s also the new Cirith Ungol Dice Set if that is your want and desire!
We also have Made to Order this week with some very old (classic) Chaos miniatures from many many moons ago! We have the Classic Chaos Warhounds, Classic Chaos Chariot (a cool kit), the Chaos Sorcerer with Lore Familiar, Classic Chaos Sorcerers, and Classic Chaos Lord on Chaos Steed. These will be available to order until Monday 26th January. The other Made to Order this week are The Steel Rook and the Kroot The Hunter Strikes. Both of these minis (apart from being a yawn) are exclusives to events, but now available until Monday 26th January. Keep in mind that with these all being Made to Order, will be shipped within 180 days of ordering.
It’s also a delayed White Dwarf week for those in the southern hemisphere, with Issue 520 on pre-order this week.
