Games Workshop unleashes The Lion and the Arks of Omen story concludes this weekend!
via Games Workshop
The Lion & Retinue $110
The First. The Son of the Forest. The Master of Caliban. The Primarch of the Dark Angels.
After millennia in stasis, Lion El’Jonson has returned to the waking world – stalking from mist-wreathed shadow realms like an ancient questing knight to hunt down the galaxy’s terrors. With his immense blade, Fealty, the Primarch cleaves apart the most heinous of monstrosities. In his other hand he carries the Emperor’s Shield, which erupts with blazing light and force in response to his quarry’s futile blows.
This boxed set builds the Lion himself, available here for the first time alongside an honour guard of Bladeguard Veterans – elite warriors equipped with imposing shields and the finest weapons of the Chapter. Lion El’Jonson is a jaw-dropping miniature befitting his legendary status, striding over battlefield rubble in ornate knightly armour decorated with personal heraldry and the symbols of the Dark Angels. He’s joined by a pair of mysterious Watchers in the Dark, and can be built with one of four different head options – a bare head, a hooded head, a crested helm, and a hooded helm.
Along with the miniatures, this set also includes two pieces of artwork – a portrait of the Lion, and an action scene of him fighting his brother, the Daemon Primarch Angron.
This set includes the following:
– 1x Lion El’Jonson
– 3x Bladeguard Veterans
– 1x Dark Angels Transfer Sheet, containing 220 transfers
– 1x Lion El’Jonson Portrait Art Print, measuring 145mm x 209mm
– 1x Lion vs Angron Art Print, measuring 145mm x 209mm
All models are supplied with their appropriate bases.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Paint your own Lion El’Jonson in a manner befitting a Primarch with help from the Citadel Colour painting guide – including his variant heads.
Arks of Omen: The Lion (Collector’s Edition) $90
About This Edition:
The fifth book in the Arks of Omen series matches the aesthetics of the rest of the series, ensuring your collection will look incredible on the shelves – including a prominent “V” mark on the spine. It’s appointed with the same style of exclusive art on a soft-touch cover, with silver foil detailing, printed page edges, and a black ribbon bookmark.
Commander Dante $45
Commander Dante is among the most storied Space Marines in the Imperium, a beloved son of Sanguinius who has led the Blood Angels Chapter for more than a thousand years. Appointed by Guilliman himself as Lord Regent of the Imperium Nihilus, Dante soars over the battlefield in gleaming golden armour. Once in the fray, the piercing gaze of his death mask freezes enemies with unnatural fear, even as he cuts down foe after foe with perfect strikes from the Axe Mortalis.
This multipart plastic kit builds Commander Dante, Chapter Master of the Blood Angels. This ancient hero has crossed the Rubicon Primaris, and goes to war clad in finely-wrought armour with sculpted musculature and angelic ornamentation. His helm incorporates the beautiful but terrifying Death Mask of Sanguinius himself, framed by his majestic iron halo. Descending from the skies on his custom jump pack, Dante aims the Perdition Pistol – an archeotech melta weapon of incredible power – and brandishes the lethal Axe Mortalis.
This kit comprises 26 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 50mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Azrael, Supreme Grand Master $45
Azrael is Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels, defender of his Chapter’s honour, and a beacon of inspiration to his battle-brothers. The Keeper of the Truth is renowned for his tactical abilities, a masterful commander who quickly grasps changing battlefield realities and orchestrates his forces to maximum advantage. Even in the fray, Azrael fights with decisive precision, decapitating enemies of the Unforgiven with every strike from the Sword of Secrets.
This multipart plastic kit builds Azrael, Chapter Master of the Dark Angels. This respected leader has crossed the Rubicon Primaris and now wears Mk X Tacticus armour, draped in robes and adorned with the symbols of his Chapter. Azrael raises the Sword of Secrets in one hand, while the other holds the Lion’s Wrath – an ancient combi-plasma weapon of fabled power. Beside him walks a Watcher in the Dark, one of the mysterious robed guardians of The Rock, which can be assembled carrying either an ornate scabbard or the Lion Helm – a sacred relic worn by Lion El’Jonson himself. Azrael himself can be built wearing the Lion Helm, or with a bare head.
This kit comprises 24 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 50mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Vashtorr the Arkifane $100
Vashtorr is the Soul Forge King, a daemonic demigod of unrestrained invention and abominable artifice. When the Arkifane takes physical form, it is as a horror of pallid flesh stretched over infernal mechanisms, soaring to battle amidst a cloud of lightning and smog. Vashtorr deals destruction with every whirring step, unleashing techno gheist curses upon his foes even as he fashions enhancements for his indentured daemon engines from the raw stuff of realspace.
This multipart plastic kit builds Vashtorr the Arkifane, master of daemon forges and manufactorums. This looming, otherworldly figure is covered in sinister cybernetic details – from the daemonic exhausts and chimneys clustered on his hunched back to the mechadendrites that squirm through the rubble of his scenic base. He wields a twisted blacksmith’s hammer in one hand, while the other extends into a vicious machine claw with a built-in flame weapon. Vashtorr wears an armoured carapace with a segmented metal apron – he can alternatively be built without this armour, exposing more of the grotesque form beneath.
Standing roughly five inches tall from his metal-shod hooves to the tips of his spindly wings, Vashtorr is an eye-catching figure on the battlefield – and a worthy player in the Great Game of the Chaos Gods.
This kit comprises 47 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 80mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Arks of Omen: The Lion $60
The Arks of Omen have sown terror and death from one side of the galaxy to the other. Despite the efforts of those who opposed them, their masters have gathered enough arcane artefacts for Vashtorr the Arkifane to fashion his monstrous Key. The hour draws nigh when the daemon and the Despoiler will between them awaken this engine of terrible power.
There are still those who can oppose their dark plan. Chief amongst them are Supreme Grand Master Azrael and the many Unforgiven Chapters who fight beneath his banner. Gathering their might, the Dark Angels and their successors answer the Arkifane’s challenge, hoping to quell whatever malevolence he and Abaddon seek to unleash. Nor are they alone in their quest, for Commander Dante races to lead his Blood Angels – and countless other Imperial forces – to the coming battle.
For all these grand events, none can compare to the return of a demigod long thought lost to the annals of legend. Lion El’Jonson, Primarch of the Dark Angels, has awoken, and by strange paths has returned to aid the Imperium in its darkest hour. Will the Lion triumph, or will the champions of Chaos unleash a new and nightmarish force upon the galaxy?
In this 128-page hardback book, you’ll find:
– The ongoing narrative of Warhammer 40,000, with galaxy-shaking implications for the Imperium as the Lion and his sons battle to foil Vashtorr’s designs
– An inspiring showcase of photography and battle scenes, featuring the armies fighting on the planet of Wyrmwood
– Additional rules for using four factions in Boarding Actions – Leagues of Votann, Thousand Sons, Adeptus Custodes, and Agents of the Imperium
– Rules for playing dramatic Dread Encounters that reshape the very battlefield and recreate climatic moments from the Arks of Omen saga
– Rules for explosive Breaching Operation missions that use Killzone: Soulshackle terrain components, as your forces blast through walls and jam hatchways
– Datasheets for Lion El’Jonson, Commander Dante, Navis Imperialis units, and Adeptus Arbites squads
Sicaran Venator Tank Hunter $80
The Sicaran is among the most advanced of the armoured vehicles fielded by the Legiones Astartes, a fast-moving destroyer tank with a number of variants favoured throughout the Legions. The Sicaran Venator replaces the standard turret-mounted cannon with a powerful neutron laser that can slice through armoured hulls and blast internal compartments with atomic fire. Coupled with the Sicaran’s ferocious speed, this volatile weapon makes the Sicaran Venator an ideal tank hunter, capable of delivering devastating firepower to anywhere on the battlefield.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Legion Sicaran Venator, a high-speed vehicle designed for anti-tank operations. The Venator’s chassis is dominated by the long barrel and detailed mechanisms of its neutron beam laser, a devastating mid-range energy weapon. The tank also boasts a pintle-mounted heavy bolter and a pair of sponson-mounted secondary weapons – your choice of heavy bolters, heavy flamers, lascannons, or volkite culverins, which can be attached without glue to adjust their positioning as you see fit.
The kit also includes components to upgrade the Sicaran Venator with a searchlight, a hunter-killer missile, and cosmetic options such as towing hooks, icons for Loyalists and Traitors, and a choice of a Space Marine gunner, spotter, or closed hatch.
This kit comprises 199 plastic components, and is supplied with a Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 44 optional markings and icons for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists Legions. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer $115
The Cerberus is a rare variant of the Spartan chassis that uses its massive hull to mount a prototype neutron laser projector, as well as the sizable arc-reactors and radiation shielding needed to operate the weapon. The neutron laser is poorly understood by the adepts of the Mechanicum, but stands among the most effective anti-tank weapons available to the Space Marine Legions, capable of punching through the strongest plating and shorting out its target’s systems with bursts of radiation. The terrible toll the Cerberus takes on its crew is regarded by many commanders as a necessary cost, for this impressive tank can threaten even Titan-class opponents.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Legion Cerberus, a massive tank capable of laying waste to the largest of targets. Its armoured hull is dominated by the triple-barreled neutron laser battery that gives the tank its name, but you’ll also find loads of options for auxiliary weapons. The Cerberus sports a pair of sponson-mounted weapons – your choice of heavy bolters, heavy flamers, lascannons, or volkite culverins, which can be assembled gluelessly to adjust their positioning as you see fit.
The kit also includes components to upgrade the Cerberus with a pintle-mounted weapon – a havoc launcher, heavy bolter, heavy flamer, multi-melta, or a combi-weapon with five configurations (bolter, flamer, melta, plasma, or volkite) – as well as a searchlight, a hunter-killer missile, and cosmetic options such as towing hooks, icons for Loyalists and Traitors, and a choice of a Space Marine gunner, spotter, or closed hatch.
This kit comprises 221 plastic components, and is supplied with a Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 44 optional markings and icons for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists Legions. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
Boarding Patrol: Agents of the Imperium $140
Among the secretive and sinister organisations of the Imperium are the feared Lords of the Inquisitional Ordos, eclectic Rogue Traders, and the expert killers of the Officio Assassinorum. Known collectively as the Agents of the Imperium, they serve the Emperor through cunning, guile or, should the situation demand it, the full might of the Imperium’s military power.
Boarding Patrol: Agents of the Imperium provides a balanced force of elite fighters, ideally suited to slaying foes of the Emperor in games of Warhammer 40,000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.
The Elucidian Starstriders lead this expedition, headed up by a Rogue Trader and her coterie of specialist companions – the Death Cult Executioner, Rejuvenat Adept, and Lectro-Maester. In her service are a band of gun-toting Voidsmen-at-Arms with a faithful Canid, plus two squads of heavily-armed and armoured Imperial Navy Breachers with their robotic support units. The real muscle comes from an Eversor Assassin requisitioned by the Rogue Trader, who charges forth in a state of hyper-engineered, searing rage.
This set includes the following:
– 1x Assassino Eversor
– 10x Elucidian Starstriders
– 20x Imperial Navy Breachers with 2x CAT Units and 2x Gheistskulls
This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is a Cartographica Rogue Trader, five Voidsmen-at-Arms, two 10-man units of Imperial Navy Breachers, and an Eversor Assassin.
All models are supplied with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Boarding Patrol: Leagues of Votann $140
The Leagues of Votann unite powerful trade Guilds, advanced technologists, and resilient warriors in grand ventures beyond the galactic core. Their Oathbands are equipped with potent weapons, formidable armour, and engineered clone bodies, allowing them to claim resources and vanquish threats in the most hostile environments – even the bowels of a space hulk.
Boarding Patrol: Leagues of Votann provides a balanced force of technologically advanced warriors, ideally suited to claiming resources and victory in games of Warhammer 40,000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.
Clad in bulky exo-armour with a rune-etched RAM shield and Autoch-pattern combi-bolter, the Einhyr Champion leads the charge with impunity. Alongside him are five elite Einhyr Hearthguard, plus a squad of Cthonian Beserks, brandishing powerful mining tools that double as weapons of war, and ten Hearthkyn Warriors armed with a variety of powerful hulk-scouring wargear.
This set includes the following:
– 1x Einhyr Champion
– 5x Cthonian Beserks
– 5x Einhyr Hearthguard
– 10x Hearthkyn Warriors
