Warhammer Releases from February 3, 2024
Dark Angels Army Set Deathwing Assault
The Dark Angels are the most secretive of all the Space Marine Chapters, pursuing a clandestine agenda of persecution and redemption that marks them apart from the rest of the Adeptus Astartes. The greatest exemplars amongst them are the Deathwing.
Each a skilled veteran, the Deathwing are led by heroes of a thousand battles, clad in Terminator armor and hefting powerful weapons taken from the Chapter's most sacred armories.
In the Dark Angels Army Set Deathwing Assault, Belial, Grand Master of the Deathwing, commands 15 Terminators. Ten of these are existing multi-part Terminators, accessorized in classic Deathwing style with two new Dark Angels upgrade frames. The other five are the indomitable Deathwing Knights, unstoppable juggernauts armed with mighty heirloom weapons.
The box also contains Codex Supplement: Dark Angels, a 96-page book with the rules and background for the Dark Angels and a unique cover. You also get 20 datasheet cards covering every unit in the Codex Supplement and two transfer sheets with over 200 transfers each.
We start with the most obdurate of the Dark Angels, the Deathwing Knights. These unyielding warriors come five to a unit and can be built with a mace of absolution or a power sword, each ideally suited for striking down heretics, traitors and other targets of the Dark Angels' ire. You get a choice of 12 heads: two bare, five hooded and five helmed.
Their formidable unit leader is a Knight Master, who wields a mace great weapon or a relic weapon. His ornate armor is set off by a choice of two tilting plates, and he comes with a choice of helmed, bare or hooded head.
The Deathwing Assault box was the first place to find the new Dark Angels Upgrade Frame. You get two in the box, and each comes with 61 cosmetic accessories you can use to coat your Space Marines in lovely Dark Angels gubbins.
There are shoulder pads and heads for a variety of armor types, tilting plates, an underslung Terminator plasma cannon, icons for your vehicles, tassets, Ravenwing upgrades, tiny relics and a Watcher in the Dark, a mysterious little guy who can join your army for unknown purposes. Seriously, who are these robed creatures?
With all of these options, and iconic characters like Azrael, Asmodai, Belial and the Lion himself, a Dark Angels army is one of the flashiest forces to teleport onto the tabletop. The Deathwing Assault box was the first taste of the range.
Dark Angels Army Set (English) - Deathwing Assault - 44-06. A Limited Edition Army Set giving you the first chance to pick up the new Codex supplement and miniatures for the Dark Angels. Contains 22 multi-part plastic miniatures, each supplied with its own Citadel base:
- 1 x Belial, Grand Master of the Deathwing
- 1 x Teleport Homer
- 1 x Watcher in the Dark
- 2 x Dark Angels Upgrade Frames (includes 2 x Watchers in the Dark and 2 x Teleport Homers)
- 5 x Deathwing Knights
- 10 x Terminators
Also in the box is a special edition of the Dark Angels Codex supplement (2024 Edition) with great-looking artwork gracing the cover, a set of 20 datacards and 2 transfer sheets.
Please note: the Warhammer 40,000 Core Book and Space Marine Codex are required to use the rules included in the supplement.
Tyranids: Psychophage
This multipart plastic kit builds a Psychophage, a Tyranid monstrosity driven by frenzied psychic hunger. This vile creature's gaping, many-jawed maw is lined with razor teeth and barbed tentacles, allowing it to snatch, shred and swallow its prey.
Raised atop six scuttling, talon-tipped limbs, its bulbous body bulges with digestive sacs and orifices, and is topped with spore-spewing dorsal chimneys.
It may seem like the Psychophage is a fussy eater, but with the weapons at its disposal, it's quite happy to eat anything foolish enough to get close, not just psykers. Just be sure to get some of the smaller critters to grab toothbrushes and help with all of those teeth afterwards.
Tyranids: Psychophage - 51-75. A multi-part plastic kit which builds 1 x Tyranid Psychophage miniature. Includes 1 x Citadel Base.
Crusade: Pariah Nexus
Explore the Nephilim Anomaly while the Necrons attempt to hide it away from the prying eyes of the Imperium in Crusade: Pariah Nexus. This is the second Crusade narrative expansion for the current edition of Warhammer 40,000.
Its 120 pages are filled with scene-setting background lore and thematic rules for your Crusade games, including Crusade Relics, Battle Traits, Crusade Blessings and Agendas, plus rules for salvaging Blackstone Fragments and creating unique Blackstone Upgrades.
This book brings us up to date on the vast war raging across the Nephilim Sector, with rules for waging a campaign there, including Enhancements for your Crusade forces and new battleplans.
It doesn't continue from Crusade: Tyrannic War. It's a fresh canvas with a new plot, missions, crusade blessings, agendas, relics and legendary relics, as well as battle traits.
