Games Workshop Pre-Orders: Slaves to Darkness Weekend
The Age of Sigmar is getting invaded by the Slaves to Darkness this weekend. There’s also a TON of warbands for Warhammer Underworlds, too!
This week Games Workshop is opening the chaos flood gates. The Slaves to Darkness are coming to pre-order. There’s a new battletome, Darkoath Spearhead box, and more up for pre-order. I’m personally excited about this one because this is my main army in AoS. I’ve been waiting for this one since the launch of the new edition, which admittedly, wasn’t that long ago. So for me, it’s definitely time to snag a new battletome!

Chaos Battletome: Slaves to Darkness $60
The Slaves to Darkness are champions clad in hellforged armour, fearsome chieftains, and cabalistic sorcerers who lead daemons, monsters, and madmen into battle under the banner of Archaon the Everchosen. Their ranks are swollen by those who turned to the Dark Gods during the Age of Chaos to survive – traitorous murderers all – and each walks the precarious Path to Glory.
Chaos Battletome: Slaves to Darkness is crucial for collectors and gamers – regardless of which ruinous power they favour. This essential tome is positively seething with inspiring artwork, loads of background material, stunning photography, and the rules you need to unleash your barbaric hordes on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms. You’ll find warscrolls, Regiments and Armies of Renown, Path to Glory and Anvil of Apotheosis rules, plus a self-contained Spearhead section to help get you up and running faster. No matter how you like to play or paint Slaves to Darkness, this book is for you.

– Background material detailing the history, culture, and organisation of the Slaves to Darkness, and how these mortals came to be followers of Chaos

Sorcerer Lords are surrounded by sinister swirls of dark magic, emanating a miasma of doom. With their command of daemonic powers and gift of foresight, these warlocks bolster the power of their allies while unleashing their own devastating spellcraft on the enemy.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Chaos Sorcerer Lord, a savage-looking warrior-wizard to bolster your Slaves to Darkness armies. Wearing heavy armour, and wielding a heavy runeblade and blade-tipped Sorcerer Staff, they are prepared to crush their enemies from the frontlines. In the box you’ll find two equally terrifying heads, as well as two distinct toppers for the staff – making it easy to customise your miniature.

After consuming the sacred fire at the heart of Phoenicium, cinders flicker when she speaks, and her eyes smolder with a captive flame.
This multipart plastic kit builds the towering Abraxia, a mighty hero to lead your Slaves to Darkness. Seated atop the Thanatorg, a formidable opponent on its own, she’s ready to get stuck in where the fighting is thickest, inspiring her fellow warriors by example.

You’ll find options for both a helmeted and bare head in the box, revealing that those horns aren’t just a decoration on the helmet.

The Jaws of Itzl were once part of a grander warhost sent against the Skaven. Yet a terrible cave-in saw most of the Seraphon buried, including their Starmaster. Only the blessed Kro-Jax, a living wellspring of ferocious Azyrite energy, and a handful of his reptilian fellows escaped. Kro-Jax receives intermittent telepathic commands from the trapped Starmaster, but magical interference from emberstone leaves them scrambled. The Sunblood attempts to heed these orders regardless, even if they drive him to seemingly nonsensical or ferociously violent acts.
Saurus Oldblood Kro-Jax, the Aegis, leads this savage Seraphon warband across Embergard. Two brutal Saurus unleash their reptilian rage by his side – mace-wielding So-Kar, and the terrifying Ro-Tak, the Guardian, with their long-spear. These three mighty warriors are accompanied and assisted by a congregation of small venomous creatures known as Sotek’s Venomites.
