Codex: Adeptus Custodes $50

The Adeptus Custodes are demigods of war, sworn to defend the Emperor to their last breath. In this dark and dangerous age, that mission compels them away from Holy Terra and out into the stars, for no longer can they stand upon the ramparts of the Imperial Palace and watch the galaxy burn. They are the most elite warriors in the Imperium, clad in auramite armour and wielding some of the finest weapons ever created by Mankind. Whether teleporting into the heart of battle, storming to war aboard ancient Land Raiders or streaking through the skies astride Dawneagle jetbikes, the Custodians are death incarnate to their enemies. Alongside them fight the Sisters of Silence, a secretive order of psychic blanks to whom falls the task of protecting the Imperium from rogue psykers and sorcerers. Together, they are the Talons of the Emperor, and where they take to the field no foe of the Emperor can stop them.

This mighty tome contains pages of background and rules dedicated to the Emperor’s most elite guardians – the Adeptus Custodes. Discover the history and hierarchy of the Talons of the Emperor, and the legendary heroes that have stood by the Emperor’s side for over 10,000 years, as well as the myriad ways they wage war in Terra’s name.

Codex: Genestealer Cults Limited Edition $80

This edition is presented as a hardback with a black black ribbon marker, soft touch cover,and silver foil blocking.

Codex: Genestealer Cults $50

The Genestealer Cults erupt from the shadows in a tide of mutated acolytes, turncoat soldiery and predatory xenos monsters. They employ ambush and subterfuge to outmanoeuvre their enemies, turning industrial mining equipment and repurposed civilian vehicles into potent weapons of rebellion against the hated Imperial oppressors. Propaganda, mind control and assassination are all weapons in their arsenal. Irredeemably corrupted by Tyranid gene-taint, the cults fight with the coordination of swarming insects and the zealotry of true believers, convinced that they are freedom fighters whose heroic efforts will earn them divine rewards. In truth, they are agents of destabilisation and anarchy – living weapons seeded behind enemy lines to spread, multiply and undermine Humanity’s fight against the encroaching Tyranid hive fleets. As the Genestealer Cults raise their wyrm-form icons above the blazing skylines of ever more Imperial planets, it becomes apparent that this ghastly plan is working all too well…

This glorious book contains pages of background and rules for the Genestealer Cults – the insurgent vanguard of the Tyranid Hive fleets. Learn all about the lifecycle of a cult, and how they worm their way into Imperial society, sowing discontent and leading rebelious uprisings in order to soften the planet’s defences for the arrival of the Great Devourer.

Celebrate the festive season with this pair of greenskin rat-killas, Bawla and Burk, available for a limited time only.

The Orruks are destruction incarnate. This vicious and primal race of natural-born killers loves nothing more than to wage unending war. Their society is built around conflict, and huge migratory invasions called Waaagh!s erupt from all corners of the Mortal Realms to drown the worlds of Order, Death, and Chaos in a green tide of violence. To face the Orruk Warclans is to face total annihilation, for their numbers are beyond counting, and they live solely for the thrill of bloody combat.

Add some character to your Orruk Brutes with Bawla and Burk, Boss Rat-Killas. Bawla is a legendary slayer of Skaven and Burk is a cunning grot that’s so quick on his feet that no rat can catch him. Together they are the premier rat-killing duo of the Mortal Realms.

There are no construction options but you may choose to leave the rat chasing Burk off, if you fancy giving him a break. Should you wish, you could use Bawla and Burk as a characterful alternative to a Brute Boss in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

The kit is comprised of 18 plastic components, with which you can assemble one Bawla and Burk, Boss Rat-killas mini, and is supplied with one 50mm Citadel round base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
