New this week – 26 October 2024

A quiet week here today, but we’ve got some new stock arriving in the next few days! For now, though, let’s take a look at what’s new in store today.

RULE THE BATTLEFIELD

Fans of Blood Angel Space Marines and Stormcast Eternals rejoice! The full rules for using your armies in the latest editions of Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar are here, in the form of Codex Supplement: Blood Angels (note you’ll need Codex Space Marines to use the contents of this book) and Battletome: Stormcast Eternals. Both come with codes to unlock their content in the Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar apps.

Meanwhile, Battletech celebrates its 40th anniversary, and the venerable game of armoured combat has a new Beginner Box for those looking to take their first, very heavy, steps.

SKULLS FOR THE... UM, PAINTERS?

Games Workshop’s adorable new Servo-Skull Palette is just what artists need for mixing colours and thinning paints. The cunning silicone design means that it’s both flexible and washable, so it should last virtually for ever. Also it looks like a Servo-Skull; what’s not to love? Also for painters, there’s a new Battletech Pain set, containing a selection of specially named Army Painter paints.

Meanwhile the folks at White Dwarf magazine have come over all green for Orktober, which is of course my favourite month of the year as well. Coincidence? I think not…

We also have a selection of cute, 3D-printed Halloween decorations available in store, but you’ll have to pop into the shop to see those in person.

PRE ORDERS

This week’s preorders are all Kill Team focussed, kicking off with the brand new Kill Team Starter Set. Containing two full Kill Teams – Space Marine Intercessors and Death Guard – a starter booklet, collapsible, pre-painted MDF scenery, and all the tokens and counters you need to get started playing the game.

If neither of those takes your fancy, you can try one of the other new Kill Teams coming alongside the starter box – we’ve got Tau Pathfinders, Chaos Legionaries, and Inquisitorial Agents all up for preorder.
