New Necrons & Marines Get A Flying Concrete Block! Pre-orders

Formed from the Star Gods, C'tan Shard of the Void Dragon is by far the most potent weapon the Necrons bring to bear on the battlefield. Not only is this an amazing miniature, but it also has alternative heads, which is becoming increasingly rare in this push-fit world. The last few weeks have seen various Destroyers, and this week we get the whippy melee unit - the Ophydian Destroyers. This is a twist on the look of Necrons, clearly influenced by the many amazing fan conversions using the Nighthaunt minis, and gives a real dynamism to the range. Necrons also get some really cool terrain with the Convergence of Dominion obelisks which add a huge amount to the look of the Necron world. Of course the Imperium can't be left out, so we get a great looking new Primaris Techmarine, with alternative heads and a super-chunky torso! The Imperium also get a new vehicle/ emplacement, the Hammerfall Bunker which is really ugly and continues the uninteresting turn of the Primaris vehicles. They are very hit and miss, and for us this is a complete miss.
In books this week there's the new Nexus and Other Stories in paperback and the Graham McNeil Elves: The Omnibus in paperback too.
In a bit of a surprise, the newest Aeronautica Imperialis model is not coming from Games Workshop, but from Forgeworld. This big lump of expensive resin is the Ork Air Waaagh! Mega Bommer, an amazing looking model on on the 'to buy' list if it wasn't from FW. Very interesting how close this is to some of the Studio Ghibli aircraft and the designs of Miyazaki in films like Nausicaa and Laputa.

Anyone lucky enough to live outside Australia or New Zealand also had the Necron Monolith up for pre-order this week. It really does go to show that they are quite willing to let some go without...
