The Sorcerers of the Thousand Sons command their troops with the skill of a puppet master, moving them across the battlefield like so many pieces on a board only they can see. Rubricae, both clad in ornate power armour and heavy Terminator battle plate, march in lockstep alongside towering Sekhetar robots, infernal constructs wreathed in potent spells.

 

This stuffed box contains a Thousand Sons force for use in games of Warhammer 40,000. Led by three Exalted Sorcerers and supported by Sekhetar Robots and Scarab Occult Terminators, they perform well in the hands of a savvy general. A unit of Rubric Marines round out the ensemble, offering objective-grabbing potential and adding to the firepower of the force with heavy and special weapons.

 

The Sekhetar Robots are armed with heavy warpflamers, hellfyre missile racks, and pyreflux meltaguns. The pyreflux meltagun can alternatively be traded out for a warpflame projector and a cruel power claw.

 

The Rubric Marines can be armed with either inferno boltguns or warpflamers. One can be built with a deadly soulreaper cannon, and another can carry an icon of flame. The Aspiring Sorcerer who leads them can be armed with either an inferno bolt pistol or a warpflame pistol to match the rest of the unit.

 

The Scarab Occult Terminators are each armed with an inferno combi-bolter and a Prosperine khopesh. One miniature can be given a heavy warpflamer, soulreaper cannon, or hellfyre missile rack. The staff-wielding Scarab Occult Sorcerer can be armed with either an inferno combi-bolter or a Prosperine khopesh.

 

No matter how you choose to build them, this box makes for a fantastic way to start a new Thousand Sons army, or expand your collection with a flexible set of fantastic miniatures – and save money over buying each kit separately. This box is also the first place to get your hands on the Sekhetar Robots miniatures.

– 3x Exalted Sorcerers (which can alternatively be built as Sorcerers)

– 4x Sekhetar Robots

– 5x Scarab Occult Terminators

The Soulblight Gravelords are surrounded by Shyishan magic, and they manifest its power with an almost instinctual ease. Great skeletal hands appear, swarms of bats materialise, and the dead spontaneously rise from their tombs.

 

This multipart plastic kit builds four miniatures to represent three different Manifestations for your Soulblight Gravelords army in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Summon macabre magic and watch as the Hand of Nagash reaches from a shadowy portal to crush your enemies. The Unholy Reliquary offers nearby heroes a pool of necromantic energy to heal and empower them, while the Sanguine Swarm creates two clouds of bats to leech the life of nearby foes.

 

Contains:

– 1x Hand of Nagash

– 1x Unholy Reliquary

– 1x Sanguine Swarm (consisting of two miniatures)

 

This kit comprises 28 plastic components including 1x scenic base, 1x Citadel 120mm by 92mm Oval Base, and 2x Citadel 40mm Round Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Barrow Knights, the finest warriors of a Deathrattle kingdom, are granted a prestigious place at the side of their undead monarch. These skeletal cavaliers ride forth to conquer in the name of their liege, and rare are the warriors who can withstand their charge. Even if knocked from the saddle or shattered by cannonfire, these elite riders shall eventually rise again, for the oaths they have sworn will last until the end of time itself.

 

This multipart plastic kit builds five Barrow Knights, a Deathrattle cavalry unit for your Soulblight Gravelords armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Mounted on skeletal steeds, they are armed with lances and equipped with shields. These fast, flexible warriors are excellent harassment units, or line-breakers in larger numbers.

 

The kit includes parts to make an optional champion, standard bearer, and musician. The helmets and shields are interchangeable across the miniatures, making it easy to customise your unit.

 

This kit comprises 67 plastic components, and 5x Citadel 60mm by 35.5mm Oval Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Vampire Lords on Nightmare Steeds carve gory paths through the enemy with each thundering charge. The beast’s ironshod hooves cave in chests and grind foes into the mud, while the undead cavalier astride it lays about themself with a blade or axe, opening throats with every blow.

 

This multipart plastic kit builds a Vampire Lord on Nightmare Steed, a cruel leader for your Soulblight Gravelords armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Seated atop a nightmare, they are able to keep up with the fastest elements of your army, making them ideal to lead your thunderous cavalry charges. The kit includes two head options for the nightmare, three head options for the lord, and a choice of an axe or a sword as a weapon, making it easy to customise your blood-hungry leader.

 

This kit comprises 21 plastic components, and 1x Citadel 80mm Round Base. This miniature requires assembly and is supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Known as the Hollow King, Cado Ezechiar seeks both vengeance and redemption. Once a mortal ruler, his lands were ravaged by Chaos – now he hunts the servants of ruin alongside a band of mismatched companions. The vampire Sissendra is a graceful killer who delights in reckless bloodshed, while the death priest Aurelias wields fearsome eldritch power and is accompanied by the twinheaded serpent Kennistrix. Then there is the spirit Solia, bound to one of Ezechiar’s iron rings and sworn to guide her student on his fateful path.

 

This multipart plastic kit builds the Blades of the Hollow King, a unit with unique skills for your Soulblight Gravelords armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Cado Ezechiar, Sissendra, and Aurelias were first seen in the Black Library novels The Hollow King, and Dead Kingdom. They now come to the tabletop as three characterful miniatures who are a force to be reckoned with, able to attack with a dizzying array of vicious attacks on any unfortunate enough to stand against them.

 

This kit comprises 31 plastic components, including 3x scenic bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.

The Soulblight Gravelords are vampiric tyrants who see mortals as little more than prey with which to sate their thirst for blood. They possess unnatural swiftness, inhuman strength, and an innate command of death magic. For all their might, these vampires are fated to serve the God of Death, Nagash. In his name, they raise teeming armies containing all manner of revenant horrors – leather-winged beasts, blood-thirsting cavaliers, and rank after rank of skeletal warriors.

The Knives of the Crone are fanatical believers in the creed of the prophetic goddess Morai-Heg, and they exist to serve fate’s will. They are led by the seer Kaerna Vix, who reads the viscera of slain foes to glean her deity’s desires. A cadre of killers ensure Vix’s visions come to pass – Tazari is Kaerna’s strong right hand, while Krieta eagerly butchers those who draw her master’s gaze. Finally, Azphel stands ready to put a crossbow bolt through distant foes.

 

This multipart plastic kit builds the Knives of the Crone – a complete warband for use in games of Warhammer Underworlds. It comes with fighter cards and warscroll cards for the warband.

– 1x Krieta, Wing of the Crone

– 1x Kaerna Vix

– 1x Azphel, the Hag's Eye

The notorious Callous Blades warband is led by Lord Kaphrael, a figure whose arrogance is matched only by his skill at arms. As he calls out his victims and cuts them down in duels, he inspires his cavorting cohort to greater acts of debauched butchery. Surrounded by six Flawless Blades, few foes can withstand his attentions for long. The Infractors rush to fill in the gaps with a flurry of poisoned blades and point-blank bolt shells.

 

This box contains 17 plastic miniatures that represent a complete Callous Blades force for use in Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000. It's an ideal way to start an Emperor's Children army, or easily add to an existing collection, and save money compared to buying the contents separately.

 

The Lord Exultant has several weapon options – a power fist, rapture lash, or plasma pistol in one hand, and a Phoenix power spear, power sword, or screamer pistol in the other.

 

The Infractors are led by an Obsessionist who can be armed with either a plasma pistol or bolt pistol, and a rapture lash or power sword, and feature lots of cosmetic options to make it easy to customise your squad. They can alternatively be built as bolter-armed Tormentors.

The armies of the World Eaters are unsubtle hordes of frenzied warriors, slavering daemons, and enraged cultists barely organised into a fighting force. They rush forward with little thought for tactics, merely attempting to spill as much blood for their god as possible.

There are individual datasheet cards for every unit – detailing their profiles, wargear, options, and special abilities. They are an ideal way to easily check key information in the heat of battle.

The World Eaters avoid and abhor sorcery, magic, and other such pretentious displays. Their prayers are voiced in the splash of arterial blood, the crunch of broken bones, and the wet thud of severed limbs.

The 1-5 facings are traditionally pipped and each '6' face is decorated with the dreaded icon of the World Eaters.

The Death Guard trudge forwards in a filthy tide of decaying ceramite, bloated flesh, and festering pustules. Their numbers are made up of fallen Space Marines, but also scampering daemons, shuffling Poxwalkers, and other lost souls. Woe betide any foe who must face them, for they face their own mortality.

Nurgle's own Death Guard worship their bloated god with a delight that belies their grim appearance, faithfully spreading his contagions and nursing them as though they are doting caregivers. Their worship is in the cycle of death, decay, and rebirth.

In a radical shift away from convention, this month’s cover artwork does not herald the theme of the magazine. Instead, the wonderful illustration of World War II G.I.s (by Marco Capparoni) connects to our articles on page 32 and 48, in which hobby YouTuber Peachy and our pigment pirate James try out The Army Painter’s new Warpaints Historical range; the artwork also features on the cover of the World War Two American Paints box set.

 

The theme of this magazine is around 2,000 years away from World War Two: The Celts! Their coverage spans three articles that dovetail with the Freebie Frame bagged with this magazine. The sprue of Epic Hail Caesar Celt Warriors is a new release from Warlord Games, and it is currently only available as part of the Celt Army box set. However, you now have your slice of the army – for free! – allowing you to add to your Celtic ranks or ‘try before you buy’.

 

Whether your preference is for painting World War II or playing Celts, I’m sure you will find plenty to interest and inspire you in this magazine, especially as they comprise just some of the many wargaming topics covered in this issue.
