  • Ork Gretchin

    Gretchin mobs make up for their shocking lack of quality with sheer quantity. The natural cowardice and feeble-limbed incompetence of the Gretchin race does not predispose them to the arts of war, and a typical Grot would prefer to have his head buried in a sporehole than to actually participate in a proper battle.
     
    This box set contains 10 multipart plastic Gretchin and a multipart plastic Ork Runtherd, including: 12 Gretchin head variants and 2 Runtherd head variants, allowing you to assemble a horde of differently posed Gretchin. Models supplied with 32mm round bases for the Ork and 25mm round bases for the Gretchin.

  • Beast-Skewer Killbow

    The Beast-skewer Killbow is a cruel ballista with one purpose – slaying the largest of beasts with brutal efficiency. Manned by Kruleboyz hand-picked for their proficiency with ranged weapons, the killbow can topple even the sturdiest of Monsters.
     
    On the battlefield, a Beast-skewer Killbow crew will pick out the biggest target they can find and bring it down with a barrage of savage, ramshackle bolts. The orruk marksman wears a gutplate depicting Kragnos with one eye closed, as if aiming himself, whilst harried grots bully each other in between reloading. This misshapen siege weapon is the perfect ranged addition to any Orruk Warclans army.
     
    This 28-piece push-fit kit builds a single Beast-skewer Killbow, complete with crew, it comes with one 90mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

  • Grombrindal: The White Dwarf (Issue 500)

    DELIVERY TO US IS WITHIN 180 DAYS
     
    Grombrindal, the White Dwarf, has been forged in flesh and blood from the physical manifestation of duardin legend by Grungni himself. This legendary figure was reincarnated to unite the clans of the Mortal Realms – he appears wherever his kin face their most desperate moments. A kind, grandfatherly elder; a sharp witted, grumpy protector; a fierce, unparalleled warrior – Grombrindal is whatever the duardin need him to be. But regardless of role, his enemies have learned to fear the bite of his axe.
     
    This multipart plastic model builds Grombrindal, the legendary White Dwarf himself, for use in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, or as a fantastic display piece to celebrate the 500th issue of White Dwarf magazine! This smashing miniature is modeled on a scenic base, replete with the remains of his enemies, holding aloft the Rune Axe of Grimnir in a suitably heroic pose.
     
    White Dwarf issue 500 features rules to use this model in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warcry, Warhammer Underworlds, and Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.
     
    This product will only be available until 8am BST on Monday 3rd of June 2024 – if we run out of our initial stock, it may take up to 180 days to dispatch.
     
    This kit comprises 8 plastic components, including a scenic base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

  • Warhammer Underworlds: Embergard

  • Warhammer Underworlds: Borgit's Beastgrabbaz

Their leader, Borgit Wolf-Killa fancies himself as a hunter and uses his mates, Snagz and Hobblin’ Dregg, as bait. His real trump card is Uglug, a troggoth who dreams of growing to massive size, although the grots’ spiteful tendency to keep him in cramped spaces has the opposite effect. The warband is rounded out with Rigg and Shamm, who pretend to be Uglug's pet squig.
