After a week of exciting previews, we’re back in full force for next week’s pre-orders as the Ruinous Powers turn their eyes to the Mortal Realms, and the Darkoath fight tooth and nail to protect their homelands from the Sigmarite usurpers in the final chapter of the Dawnbringer Crusades.
On top of that, there’s a big Made to Order for Warhammer 40,000 terrain.
Dawnbringers: Book VI – Hounds of Chaos
The Twin-Tailed Crusade has overcome horrors, triumphed in battle, and raised two mighty cities in the name of the God-King Sigmar: Verdigris and Embergaard. But disaster awaits one of them as the Darkoath, Abraxia, and darker forces yet array their power against them.
Hounds of Chaos contains warscrolls for Abraxia, the Spear of the Everchosen, all of the new Darkoath units, and a Regiment of Renown in the shape of Brand’s Oathbound. There are two Armies of Renown: the Swords of Chaos, comprised of Abraxia and her loyal Varanguard, and the Tribes of the Snow Peaks, a muscular throng of Darkoath.
Rounding things out is the final part of the Twin-Tailed Crusade Path to Glory supplement for the Cities of Sigmar, which will decide the ultimate fate of your city. A fancy Special Edition is also on the way to complete your collection in style.
Abraxia’s Varanspear
The terrifying protagonist of Dawnbringers VI – Hounds of Chaos crashes onto the battlefield to ensure the Everchosen’s will is done, flanked by her elite Varanguard heavy cavalry. Abraxia’s Varanspear is the speartip of the Swords of Chaos, an Army of Renown found in Dawnbringers VI.
Brand’s Oathbound
Unleash a fearsome Darkoath Regiment of Renown with Brand’s Oathbound – a vicious, hero-slaying warband of warriors led by the infamous Gunnar Brand. This set is deployed as three separate warscrolls with unique skills who join to form the unit seen in the Hammer and Bolter episode Monsters. They can be called upon by any Grand Alliance Chaos faction if you want to add a touch of savage might to your army.
Darkoath: A Gunnar Brand Novel
Discover the events that thrust Gunnar Brand into the chieftainship of his tribe in Darkoath by Chris Thursten, a new novel that digs right into the lives and trials of a Darkoath warband. Calamitous events drive the Brand family on a grim exodus through the Realm of Fire, as dark powers follow their every move and relish the slaughter that unfolds along their Path to Glory.
This novel will be available in hardback, eBook, and MP3 audiobook editions.
Darkoath Chieftain on Warsteed
Chieftains who prefer to thunder into battle and fulfil their oaths as fast as possible mount up on loyal warsteeds, a combination that marries the skill and strength of a Darkoath champion with the speed and agility of their mounts. This multi-part plastic kit comes with two weapons – an axe or a sword – and three head options, as well as the choice to give your steed a bladed headpiece.
Darkoath Wilderfiend
Darkoath warriors who fail to uphold their sworn oaths are cursed by the gods and mutated beyond recognition, becoming ferocious monsters called Wilderfiends. Their former kin look upon these creatures with reverence, believing them to safeguard the tribe so long as they are appeased with sacrifices, and the Wilderfiends readily join the fray with razor-sharp claws and an insatiable hunger for mortal flesh. This kit comes with numerous customisation options.
Darkoath Marauders
Every single Darkoath warrior is trained almost from birth to slay their enemies with axe and spear, and the oaths they swear before battle charge them with chaotic power so that they might slaughter in the name of their dark patrons. This unit of 10 Darkoath Marauders has dozens of customisation options from heads and shields to your choice of two weapon types, as well as parts to furnish your unit with a Doombeater, Icon Bearer, and a Darkoath Champion.
Darkoath Fellriders
Those daredevil fighters who prize speed and agility over protection mount up as the fierce light cavalry known as Fellriders, fighting in bloody close combat with broadswords or hurling volleys of javelins on the move. This unit of five miniatures can be equipped with either weapon option and can also be extensively customised with 15 head options, interchangeable mount accessories, and gear to mark two riders as an Icon Bearer and Hornblower.
Nexus Chaotica
Terrify your enemies and channel the power of the Dark Gods with the sinister Nexus Chaotica terrain piece, now ready to loom over a battlefield near you. This blazing shrine to fiery ruin isn’t just an awesome monument to fight around either, as a slowly building pool of power points can be unleashed to boost spells cast by your WIZARDS and even corrupt objectives and other terrain with baleful Chaos energies.
Sekhar, Fang of Nulahmia
Sekhar is the chosen agent of Neferata. A Soulblight vampire and a masterful hypnotist able to influence the minds of enemy soldiers as easily as she broke the serpent Ouboroth into her service, she is both a powerful sorcerer and deadly fighter, with her quicksilver reflexes ensuring that few enemy blows find their mark.
Krethusa the Croneseer
The shrouded prophet of Morai-Heg joins the fight as a standalone release for the first time, augmenting your aelves with the powers of foresight and deadly shadow magic that turned the tide in Dawnbringers Book V. Krethusa is a powerful leader for forces of renegade Daughters of Khaine, and commands the Croneseer’s Pariahs Army of Renown.

If you want to give your battlefield the air of an industrial hub or forge world, four returning kits from the Battlezone: Mechanicus range are the perfect way to add some brutal Imperial architecture. The Ferratonic Furnace and Pyrolation Incinerator add high gantries and ample vantage points for getting the drop on your opponents, while towering Alchomite Stacks and buzzing Haemotrope Reactors provide troops with cover as they advance through the forge.
