Games Workshop Pre-Order Preview: Ultramarines, Drukhari, Chaos Space Marines, and Da Red Gobbo

It’s a Warhammer 40K heavy pre-order weekend coming up as Games Workshop begins to release the wave of Ultramarines recently revealed.

Crush the enemy with a force entirely built of the toughest, strongest, most experienced Space Marines around – the mighty Terminators. Battleforce: Crux Terminatus is the first place to get the brand new Assault Terminators, which come with enough options to build two sets of five with either thunder hammers and storm shields,or a pair of lethal lightning claws – making ten Assault Terminators in total.

Alongside this unstoppable wall of ceramite you also get the new Ancient in Terminator Armour miniature, who flies an impressive standard, a multi-part Terminator Captain, a Terminator Chaplain, and five regular multi-part Terminators.

You also get a new Space Marines Terminator transfer sheet, containing 579 transfers. This box will be available only while stocks last.

The greatest Ultramarine besides the Primarch himself, Marneus Calgar is equally potent a warrior on the battlefield as he is a leader in the command bunker. While he often deploys in an artificer-crafted suit of Gravis armour, he has also been known to still wear the ancient Armour of Antilochus. This relic Terminator armour suit incorporates the Gauntlets of Ultramar – and Calgar operates it with enough agility that he can join almost any infantry squad the Ultramarines choose to field in battle.

No longer leading the Second Company, Cato Sicarius has taken up perhaps an even more prestigious role – the commander of the Ultramarines’ honoured Victrix Guard. His skill with his trusted Talassarian tempest blade lets him fight in three distinct ways during close combat, each one tailored for a different kind of enemy, be they hordes of chaff or deadly champions. This multi-part plastic miniature comes with two head options – one shouting, and one stoically observing the battlefield.

Defend your heroes and champions with the legendary Victrix Honour Guard, a band of veteran Ultramarines chosen to safeguard the Chapter’s officers with their lives in the heat of battle. Each kit builds three Victrix Guard with interchangeable heads, arms and greaves, with the option of building one as a Chapter Champion armed with blades of honour, and one as a Chapter Ancient carrying a massive Banner of Macragge. Victrix Guard can be deployed as a unit of six, and as such two boxes will contain enough parts to build either six regular squad members or four – with unique combinations of leg and arm poses – plus the Chapter Champion and Chapter Ancient.

The box also comes with a Chaos Space Marines transfer sheet.

Da Red Gobbo’s Tinboy is here to celebrate the season. Christmas is coming, and Da Red Gobbo is back to his usual antics – delivering explosive gifts to anyone foolish enough to leave their chimneys open. This time he’s riding onto the scene in a clanking mechanical Tinboy that looks suspiciously like a Vostroyan soldier, and woe betide any who try to stop him from distributing festive cheer to all the good boys and girls of the 41st Millennium. This miniature will only be available while stocks last, so make sure to get yours post-haste!

This special edition will be available strictly while stocks last.

The faceless regiments of the Death Korps of Krieg are unrelenting in their pursuit of victory, and they’ll need to double down on their die-hard determination in The Relentless Dead by Steve Lyons – the next Death Korps novel after Dead Men Walking captured the bleak horror of life in a Krieg trench line.

Colonel Graven of the 401st Krieg Regiment has been tasked with finding a missing inquisitor in an endless warren of bone caverns wracked by Chaos plagues, but the dead are stirring, and down in the labyrinthine darkness his kill team comes face to face with unspeakable horrors. Adding to it all, the colonel has ghosts of his own to battle, and his lingering doubt could be the death of him.

When his band of Freeboota grots are ordered onto a recently discovered space hulk, Bodgit knows that the odds of survival are slim – after all, it’s tough enough to get through the average day, let alone one aboard a haunted wreck filled with monsters. To add to his misery, the infamous Kaptin Bludhook is out to make his life a living hell! Bodgit’s days are numbered – unless he can embrace the spirit of Da Red Gobbo and rise above his lowly status to outwit Bludhook.

Double Eagle and Interceptor City by Dan Abnett return in paperback editions. Double Eagle finds the planet of Enothis on the brink of ruin as Chaos forces sweep across its beleaguered surface, and the elite fighter pilots of the Phantine XX are the only ones who can turn the tide – so long as they can avoid becoming the Chaos ace Khrel Kas Obarkon’s next kill tally.

Two decades after the events of Double Eagle, a veteran pilot of the Phantine Air Corps is forced out of retirement when the hive city of Vesperus comes under attack in the sequel Interceptor City. Bree Jagdea is none too pleased to be back in the fray after a cosy life piloting supply transports, especially now that she’s been seconded to the infamous Circus 66 squadron – notorious for their death-defying missions and lethal interceptions through Vesperus’ rat runs.

Double Eagle and Interceptor City

No Peace Among Stars is an collection of new stories that will be available in paperback and eBook editions.
