Wrath And Rapture Brings Demonic Delights Next Week
Next week from GW: Wrath and Rapture. It’s Khorne vs. Slaanesh with some gorgeous new models that you can bring to 40K or Age of Sigmar. Check out what awaits you within this box of Daemonic Devilry.
We’ve been waiting for this one a while. Slaanesh is back in a big way with Wrath and Rapture, the first boxed set in the Realms of Chaos line, which features miniatures you can use for both 40K and Age of Sigmar. Pick up this box and you’re on your way to collecting armies for two games in one. Featuring the new Flesh Harp and Khorne Dogs, there’s a lot to get excited about, so let’s take a look!

Wrath and Rapture is a new battlebox that pits the forces of Khorne against the hosts of Slaanesh in brutal interdimensional combat. Compatible with both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, it’s a must-have for all fans of the ruinous powers. This boxed set features no fewer than four totally new kits, including a much anticipated (and magnificent) revamp of the Fiends of Slaanesh and Flesh Hounds of Khorne. Both these units have full, multipart sprues letting you customise them to your heart’s content, and both are (for now) exclusive to Wrath and Rapture.
Leading both forces, meanwhile, are two new Daemonic character models – Karanak, the notorious Hound of Vengeance and hunter of wizards, as well as the Infernal Enrapturess – a new kind of Slaaneshi herald who bolsters summoning and shreds enemy units with sonic waves.
You’ll find rules for these models – and the rest of the stuff in the set – across the booklets included in the set. These detail the lore of the Realm of Chaos, giving hints as to the nature of this mysterious dimension and offering insights into the endless machinations of the Dark Gods. These books are a real treasure trove and include some great tools for roleplayers and narrative fans, like a pair of naming tables for Daemons – including their multi-syllabic true names. You think this is just a Flesh Hound? This is Cankerspite, also known as Oehleeig’gaeaekw (or Olly, to his mates).
There’s a lot to look forward to next week, no matter what game you’re playing. If you’re looking to get someone involved in the hobby–or are looking for a gift for a gamer of your choice, this seems like a perfect bet. Whatever they’re playing, they’ll have new models to paint, play, and pine for when they’re building their other lists.
Get ready for more Slaanesh sneak peaks and Khorne khernels of wisdom next week!
