New this Week – 12 July 2025

Choose your side in the brand new edition of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, which goes up for preorder today, or battle it out as the forces of the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon in the new Gundam Card Game!

And if neither of those excites you, we’ve got some new fish elves for Age of Sigmar for you…

New This Week – 28 June 2025

DThe Wolves are coming! But don’t worry, we also have a tonne of new board games to distract you from the howls of the Space Marines.
