Warhammer 40K Next Week: The Lion Awakens
The Lion awakens as the Arks of Omen storyline comes crashing to a close. See how it all ends, and get new minis for next week’s preorders.
Next week, the Arks of Omen comes to an end, as Lion “The Lion” El’Johnson and his unimaginative nickname returns to show the Dark Angels and everyone else how it’s done. Vashtorr the Arkifane conducts his feel fell ritual. Traitors reveal big secrets, and the galaxy will never be the same.
And alongside this final book are plenty of iconic heroes with bold new minis. As well as a few new Boarding Patrols. Check out what’s out for preorders next week!
Arks of Omen – The Lion
First up, a celebratory launch set, complete with the Lion himself and two art prints:
The Lion has risen from his 10,000-year slumber, and he’s wasting no time putting traitors to the sword. The Primarch of the Dark Angels is a monstrously powerful duelist and indomitable battlefield leader, armed with the Emperor’s own shield and a massive power sword named Fealty.
Alongside Lion El’Jonson you’ll get three elite Bladeguard Veterans – the perfect retinue for such a close combat powerhouse – a packed Dark Angels transfer sheet, and two beautiful prints depicting key art from Arks of Omen: The Lion.
Of course you’ll want the new book too. That’s where you’ll find all the new rules, lore, and thrilling conclusion to Vashtorr the Arkifane’s fiendish plot.
In addition to concluding the latest narrative arc for Warhammer 40,000, Arks of Omen: The Lion contains expanded rules for Boarding Actions. On top of extra faction rules for the Leagues of Votann, Thousand Sons, Imperial Agents, and Adeptus Custodes, there’s a suite of diverse Dread Encounter missions to add scenarios that tear the battlefield itself apart and suck walls and doorways into the warp, while 12 Breaching Operation missions let you smash straight through solid walls and leave diabolical traps for your foes.
Alongside the new book and the Lion, the Dark Angels have a host of heroes joining them.
Leading the way is Supreme Grand Master Azrael, who is available on his own for the first time.
Or Primaris Dante, more golden than oldie, as they say.
And it wouldn’t be fair for Azrael to be on his own if Vashtorr the Arkifane didn’t also have his own solo release as well.
New Boarding Patrols
There are also two new Boarding Patrols to check out, starting with the Leagues of Votann Boarding Patrol. They’re led by an Einhyr Champion, along with 5 Einhyr Hearthguard, 5 Cthonian Beserks and 10 Hearthkyn Warriors.
And the Agents of the Imperium Boarding Patrol brings some supporting troops into a starring roles with 10 Elucidean Starstriders and 20 Imperial Navy Breachers along with an Eversor Assassin to take it prime targets.
All this, next week!
