The Chaos Tides of Change are upon us – The Gaunt Summoner has brought his friends…
via Games Workshop
Gaunt Summoner $40
Originating from deep within the Realm of Chaos, the Gaunt Summoners are powerful daemon sorcerers of Tzeentch. Archaon exerts an iron grip upon their souls – they are not only favoured by the Everchosen for their abilities, which are prodigious, but for their helpless devotion to their masters’ twisted whims. Able to twist reality with their dread incantations and engulf whole armies in deadly warpfire, the Gaunt Summoners were responsible for some of the most horrifying atrocities committed during the Age of Chaos.
Only nine of these bizarre, faceless creatures exist at any one time, and it is an exceedingly rare event to see more than one appear at any time – it is a testament to their power that a single Gaunt Summoner can change the tide of battle completely.
This multi-part plastic kit contains all the parts necessary to construct one sinister Gaunt Summoner, riding a disc of Tzeentch. Wielding a Changestaff and a Warptongue Blade, this detailed model is borne aloft on a wave of magic, held fast to his Disc by eldritch tentacles and features a book and scroll from which his incantations originate. The Disc comes with six Blades. Eighteen components in total, with a Citadel 40mm Round base.

The Realmgate Wars: Call of Archaon (Hardback) $24
THE STORY
Of the many champions of Chaos, none are as great or as feared as mighty Archaon. He is the Everchosen, Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse and Ender of Worlds, and it is a worthy warrior indeed who can fight by his side. Such Knights of Ruin are known as the Varanguard. Only by answering the call of Archaon can a warrior of Chaos ascend to their ranks, and acceptance is never guaranteed, for their mettle must first be proven. In this dark tale, three fell champions of the Chaos Gods all heed the call of the Everchosen. Each desires the ultimate prize: to become part of the Varanguard. But where one is chosen, others will fail, for Archaon’s will is cruel and his trials exacting…
READ IT BECAUSE
It’s the whole epic Call of Archaon saga in one book. See what trials the followers of Chaos must undergo to prove themselves worthy of the ultimate honour: joining the ranks of the Everchosen’s Varanguard. It’s brutal, bloody and with three (anti)heroes, there’s no way they’re all succeeding… or surviving.
Gaunt Summoner’s Tzeentch Daemons $227.75
Surrounded by a writhing, coiled mist of multi-hued magic, the Gaunt Summoner glides across the battlefield upon his strange Disc of Tzeentch. Wielding the Book of Profane Secrets, he summons forth a collection of bizarre and powerful daemons from the Realm of Chaos to do his bidding, sending them into the fray while casting his own arcane spells upon the hapless foe.
This bundle grants you the ability to summon Daemons of Tzeentch into the Mortal Realms, using the power of the Gaunt Summoner! You’ll receive one set of Flamers of Tzeentch, one set of Screamers of Tzeentch, two sets of Pink Horrors of Tzeentch, two Burning Chariots of Tzeentch and of course the Gaunt Summoner himself. Twenty-eight miniatures in total!
Gaunt Summoner’s Daemon Pantheon $270.50
Surrounded by a writhing, coiled mist of multi-hued magic, the Gaunt Summoner glides across the battlefield upon his strange Disc of Tzeentch. Wielding the Book of Profane Secrets, he summons forth a collection of bizarre and powerful daemons from the Realm of Chaos to do his bidding, sending them into the fray while casting his own arcane spells upon the hapless foe.
This bundle grants you the ability to summon Daemons of varying allegiances into the Mortal Realms, all of whom fall under the spell of the Everchosen. You’ll receive one set of Bloodcrushers of Khorne, one set of Plague Drones, one set of Pink Horrors of Tzeentch, one set of Daemonettes of Slaanesh, one set of Bloodletters of Khorne, one set of Plaguebearers of Nurgle and of course the dread form of the Gaunt Summoner himself. Forty-seven miniatures in this bundle!
Overlords of Chaos $305
This is the death of worlds. Archaon, the greatest champion of the Dark Gods, sees all and destroys all. Were this not enough to spell doom for anything that catches the dread attentions of the Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse, he is accompanied by a Gaunt Summoner – a powerful daemon sorcerer held in thrall to Archaon’s terrible whims – and a unit of Varanguard, the brutal, mounted murderers well-known to take a malign glee in executing the dark will of their master.
This bundle supplies you with everything needed to field the Overlords of Chaos, a Warscroll Battalion found in Battletome: Everchosen. You’ll receive the imposing form of Archaon, a Gaunt Summoner and a unit of three Varanguard – the ultimate collection of Everchosen might!
Those are some MASSIVE bundles for demons – although is it strange that he’s coming with the Khorne Demons. Then again, Archaon has pretty much bent all the Chaos God’s to his side and squashed their petty bickering (at least while he’s in the room…)
What’s your take on the new Gaunt Sorcerer Model? How about those Rules?
