Space Marine Battleforces and Arks of Omen: Abaddon are up for pre-order today!

via Games Workshop

Abhorrant Ghoul King with Crown of Delusion $35

Abhorrant Ghoul Kings are the raving rulers of cannibal courts, vampiric warriors consumed by madness and accustomed to total obedience from their wretched followers. They take to the battlefield alongside a monstrous tide of loyal footsoldiers, lost in a labyrinth of delusions as they urge their horrid servants forward with necromantic power and affronted fury.

This multipart plastic kit builds an Abhorrant Ghoul King with Crown of Delusion – a deranged monarch sat atop a broken and crumbling throne, his pose exuding a regal confidence that contrasts with the bones littering the floor around him. Though he may believe himself garbed in finery, his sword and crown are pitted with decay, his tattered cloak is pinned to his chest by piercings of bone, and grisly trophies hang from his royal seat.

This Warhammer Commemorative Series miniature is presented as a small vignette, ideal for display, dioramas, or for use in-game, and is perfect for collectors, gamers, and painters alike. In games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, this model can be used as an Abhorrant Ghoul King in Flesh-eater Courts armies.

This kit comprises 10 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paint.

This product is only available from the Games Workshop webstore, between Saturday the 7th of January and 8am GMT on Monday the 16th of January 2023.

This item will be dispatched within 180 days of purchase.

Arks of Omen: Abaddon $60

The Great Rift has torn the Emperor’s realm in two. Ancient alien empires rise from the ashes of prehistory to claw at the dying stars. Predatory nightmares boil from the outer darkness, while everywhere the veil of reality wears thin and the flames of war rise ever higher. Day by day, battle upon battle, the galaxy careens ever closer to total annihiliation.

From amidst the growing anarchy and prophecies of a final ending rise those who would deny the last darkness and, in so doing, seize victory for themselves. Greatest amongst these is Abaddon the Despoiler. Forging an infernal pact with a dread new ally, he unleashes the mighty Arks of Omen and their rapacious Balefleets upon the Imperium Sanctus and the Imperium Nihilus alike.

Striking at world after world, the Arks ignite fresh conflagrations of war wherever their shadows fall. Humans, aliens, and even Abaddon’s heretical rivals fight back against these nightmare war fleets wherever they can – but there is a darker and more insidious purpose to the attacks of the Arks of Omen, and time is not their ally…
