via Games Workshop

Shadow Throne $165

Deep beneath the surface of humanity’s Throneworld, the agents of the inquisition have made a horrifying discovery – a Genestealer Cult has taken root amidst the shadows, spreading its malignant tendrils across Holy Terra. Such a threat to the Imperium’s heart cannot be permitted, and so Blade Champion Aristothes Carvellan leads an elite force to purge the xenos threat. So begins a nightmare subterranean war against the beast known as the Begetor and its mutated brood.

Whether you’re a long term defender of the Imperium, or a fledgling Cult acolyte, this box contains two exclusive miniatures, plus a force for both the Adeptus Custodes and Genestealer Cults, meaning you’ll be able to kick off your own recreation of the Unthinkable War on Terra, or fold these reinforcements into an existing army.

Inside, you’ll find 25 plastic Citadel miniatures, including:

– 1x Blade Champion
– 3x Allarus Custodians, with the option to build one miniature as a Shield-Captain, and one as a Vexilus Praetor
– 5x Witchseekers, able to be built as Vigitalors or Prosecutors

– 1x Reductus Saboteur with explosive device
– 1x Genestealer Patriarch
– 1x Magus
– 1x Primus
– 2x Familiars
– 10x Neophyte Hybrids

A 32-page Shadow Throne campaign book covering the narrative of the Unthinkable War, which sees the Adeptus Custodes and Sisters of Silence in conflict with a covert uprising of Genestealer Cults beneath the Imperial Palace itself. This book contains Datasheets for everything in the box, as well as rules for the Deadly Ambush Theatre of War, a two-mission campaign, and Crusade rules giving each faction a Battle Trait table and both an Artificer and Antiquity Relic. All together, this makes Shadow Throne a brilliant choice for new and existing players alike.

Battletome: Maggotkin of Nurgle $50

To the tolling of rusted bells, the Maggotkin bring disease and despair to the realms. Revolting worshippers of Nurgle, the Chaos God of plagues and entropy, they live to bring others into his fold by sharing with them his foul gifts. Given strength by the maladies that blight their flesh, the Maggotkin serve Grandfather Nurgle with furious zeal. Armies of infected mortals fight alongside droning plague-daemons, spreading pestilence to all and sundry. They would not see the realms burn, however. Instead, they seek to transform them into reeking, squelching extensions of Nurgle’s Garden, writhing and pulsating with disgusting life.

Maggotkin of Nurgle Dice Set $35

Channel the infernal favour of Nurgle with this set of dice inspired by his foremost champions, the Maggotkin.

This set includes 20 six-sided, round-edged dice that measure 16mm along each edge. They are cast in a drab green colour with purple pips and an icon of Nurgle on the ‘6’ faces.

Vanguard: Maggotkin of Nurgle $125

If there is one constant to be found in existence, it is decay. All things must bow to entropy in due time. None of the Ruinous Powers understand this better than Nurgle. Master of the Rotten Carnival, Nurgle bears a thousand identities – yet to his worshippers, he is simply ‘Grandfather’. Beneath the buzz of a million flies do his ever-loyal Maggotkin armies march in order to spread the poison and poxes, snuffing out hope with rusted blade and foul sorceries.

If you want to help bring Grandfather Nurgle’s gifts to the Mortal Realms, then this Vanguard box presents a perfect place to start your Maggotkin army or to swell your existing festering horde. Including a Hero and two Battleline choices, this is a complete army in a box, meaning you can bring a blighted legion to the tabletop with just these miniatures.

This set includes the following multipart plastic kits:

– 1x Spoilpox Scrivener
– 10x Plaguebearers of Nurgle
– 5x Putrid Blightkings
– 2x Pusgoyle Blightlords (can alternatively be built as 1x Lord of Afflictions and 1x Pusgoyle Blightlord)

The above units are supplied with 1x 40mm round base, 10x 32mm round bases, 5x 40mm flying bases, and 2x 60mm round bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Rotbringer Sorcerer $30

Rotbringer Sorcerers are masters of putrefying magics, capable of vomiting forth streams of brackish, soul-withering slime, or imbuing their allies with pestilent might. They revel in acts of corruption, and are even able to infect wild arcane phenomena.

Maggotkin armies rarely broach the battlefield without a Rotbringer Sorcerer. Acting as a locus of foul arcane magics, these sorcerers hack up phlegm-ridden incantations that pox their enemies. In the wake of the Arcane Optimar, many of these spellcasters also unleash twisted, plague-ridden endless spells that they have bent to their rotten whims.

This multipart plastic kit makes one Rotbringer Sorcerer with a choice of heads and comes supplied with one 32mm Citadel Round base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
