The day has arrived – Apocalypse is up for pre-order along with some pretty amazing bundles!

via Games Workshop

Primaris Executioner $100

Though some Chapters use Repulsor Executioners as armoured escorts for their dedicated troop-carrying tanks, many favour them as transports for Hellblasters and other specialist Primaris squads. In this capacity, the tanks thrum across the battlefield with guns blazing. Whether armed with macro plasma incinerators or heavy laser destroyers, the Executioners unleash fusillade after punishing fusillade, their primary armaments combining with a wealth of secondary weapons to blast the enemy into ruin.

The Repulsor Executioner is the most heavily armed battle tank available to the Adeptus Astartes, with a choice of murderously powerful, primary turret-mounted weapon – a macro plasma incinerator or heavy laser destructor – supported by a coaxial heavy onslaught gatling cannon. Add to that two krakstorm grenade launchers, two storm bolters, a twin Icarus ironhail heavy stubber, an ironhail heavy stubber as well as a hull-mounted twin heavy bolter and your Repulsor Executioner certainly won’t be lacking for firepower! You can supplement this offensive capability with a set of defensive auto launchers and even an Icarus rocket pod for further aerial protection.

This multipart plastic kit is comprised of 150-components. It can be assembled with or without a gunner, who can be built scanning with an auspex or with his hands on the trigger of the pintle-mounted ironhail heavy stubber. There are also eight separate pieces of optional stowage and two antennae that can be used to decorate the vehicle as desired. The kit is supplied with a Citadel 100mm Round Base and clear hover stand, which can be set at an angle, adding a certain degree of camber to your model.

Warhammer 40,000 rules for this vehicle can all be found in its assembly guide (included in the set).

Admech Skorpius Disintegrator/Dunerider $75

The Skorpius Disintegrator of the Adeptus Mechanicus drifts gracefully across the dunes, its anti-grav motors thrumming quietly in stark contrast to its thundering guns. As it accompanies the advancing Skitarii phalanxes, the Skorpius Disintegrator delivers punishing salvoes from its ferrumite or belleros energy cannons, while its cognis heavy stubbers and disruptor missile launcher spit death at any who would threaten the armoured vessel.

In addition to its flanking pair of cognis heavy stubbers, and prow-mounted disruptor missile launcher, the Skorpius Disintegrator bears a ferrumite cannon or a voltaic belleros energy cannon. Its primary turret weapon is manned by a Servitor gunner that has been hard-wired into the weapon for optimal performance.

The multipart plastic kit is comprised of 104 components. It can be assembled with a crewman set in one rear cupola, or with both hatches closed.

Warhammer 40,000 rules for this vehicle can all be found in its assembly guide (included in the set).

Baneblade $140

A single super-heavy tank is a dominant presence in an Astra Militarum battle line. As it ploughs inexorably forward it lays down a wide path of destruction. Enemy ranks shatter long before it reaches their position, and those unlucky few who are able to maintain their defensive formations are ground to paste under the slab-like plates of its tracks. The Baneblade is the most common variant of super-heavy tank. Its primary weapon – the fearsome baneblade cannon – is capable of delivering apocalyptic bombardments at a terrifying range.

The Baneblade is armed with a fearsome array of weapons, from the mighty baneblade cannon (and optional coaxial autocannon) on its turret, to a hull-mounted demolisher cannon. It can also be equipped with a pair of sponsons sporting a twin heavy bolter or twin heavy flamer, each capped by a lascannon turret!

The kit includes a huge array of accoutrements, including aerials, artillery shells, smoke launchers, searchlights, tools, name plates, pintle-mounted heavy stubbers. On top of this you also get 3 optional turret-mounted crew who come with a variety of heads, arms and weaponry, allowing you to make an officer, driver or gunner. Alternatively, you can assemble the turret with a closed hatch. There are also parts for you to make an Astra Militarum officer on foot (supplied with a Citadel 25mm Round Base).

This multipart plastic kit contains a whopping 295 components. The kit includes the parts to assemble the kit as a Banehammer, Banesword, Doomhammer, Hellhammer, Shadowsword, Stormlord or Stormsword super-heavy tank instead of a Baneblade. Also included is 1 Astra Militarum Vehicle Transfer Sheet, which can be used to add markings and insignia.

Apocalypse $100

Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse is a game of massive battles set in the grim darkness of the far future. If you’ve ever wanted to field an entire Space Marine Battle Company or household of Imperial Knights (and more besides), then this is the game for you!

As with Battle-forged armies in Warhammer 40,000, your collections are organised into any of 10 different types of Detachment (and each led by a Commander) that move and fight together on the battlefield. Each Detachment also gains a Faction Ability, enabling you to theme your army by Detachment and include narrative-driven alliances within it.

The innovative rules for Apocalypse enable you to play massive battles to completion in a matter of hours. Alternating Detachment activations ensures that there is minimal downtime for players, maintaining the fast-paced and exciting action throughout. Damage is resolved in the final phase of each game turn, meaning that even units that are destroyed will still have a chance to make their mark on the battle before they succumb.

In each turn, players issue Advance, Aimed Fire or Assault orders in secret to each of their Detachments, giving them a chance to bluff, surprise and outmanoeuvre their opponents with their choices.

Each player constructs a deck of 30 Command Assets (from a choice of 300 included in the set), including a number of faction-specific cards, enabling them to pull off strategic power plays as the battle unfolds. These effects include devastating psychic powers, changes of orders and crucial re-rolls.

There are six Apocalypse missions to choose from, as well as a mission generator with which to create your own.

This set contains:
– 120-page Apocalypse Field Manual (including full game rules)
– 6 punchboard sheets of double-sided Apocalypse gameplay tokens
– 300 Command Asset cards
– 12 six-sided dice
– 12 twelve-sided dice

Apocalypse Movement Trays (25mm, 32mm,40mm)  $40

Apocalypse Command Assets  $25

This deck of 100 additional Command Asset cards is designed to expand upon the 300 Command Assets included with Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse. The new cards are divided between universal cards that are usable by any faction, as well as cards that are tailored to each of the individual factions that feature in Apocalypse. Regardless of your allegiance, these additional Command Assets offer a huge variety of new tactical options.

This card set requires a copy of Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse to use.

Apocalypse Dice  $45

A set of 50 dice designed for use with Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse, comprising 25 six-sided dice (D6s) and 25 twelve-sided dice (D12s). Each die is black in colour with orange details, and features Apocalypse skull design in place of 1. All other faces display a number set within an explosion.

All Faction Datasheets  $25

Citadel Crusade Case XL $160

The Citadel Figure Cases are the perfect way to transport and protect your Citadel miniatures. Containing two full sets of our revolutionary channel foam, the Citadel Crusade Case XL is the largest case we’ve ever made, designed to fit several of our largest models at a time, quickly and easily without the chore of cutting and shaping to fit.

Packing and unpacking the case is absurdly quick and easy; any model, however pointy, placed anywhere within the channels will be protected, just as well as if you’d spent countless hours hacking away at a custom fit. You’ll free up more time to concentrate on games, painting or just showing off your miniatures collection. The channel foam allows you to store up to four Imperial Knights (or Archaon and other massive Warhammer Age of Sigmar heroes) with room to spare, legions of troops, whole squadrons of armour or beasts, or entire formations of bikes and cavalry! It’s also perfect for carrying immense models from Forge World.

We know that you want the best protection for your miniatures – the foam inside the case is slightly larger than the case itself, and will compress around the figures when closed, ensuring a minimum of movement for any miniature. This massive case features metal-reinforced hinges, fixed handles on each side, metal-core nylon catches, and a metal lattice to reinforce both the lid and the base to increase its strength. If your collection is impressive enough to warrant it, you can even stack them with no fear of damage.

We’ve put a lot of effort and research into making the Citadel Crusade Case XL durable, efficient, and as easy as it can be to store and transport your largest, most precious models. The hinges are designed with an ergonomic shape, including a folding hinge on the top as well as the fixed handles on the sides. You’ll find the construction solid, and enjoy peace of mind as you prepare for apocalyptic clashes across the grim darkness of the far future, as well as the Mortal Realms.

Space Marines Battalion Detachment  $170

The Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes are the Emperor’s finest, the Angels of Death, and they bring utter annihilation to the enemies of the Imperium. At the heart of many Space Marine strike forces stands a hard core of Intercessors, potent warriors capable of swiftly seizing and controlling the most strategically vital battlefield sites, pressing home punishing offensives or standing firm in the face of the most savage enemy attacks.

Led to war by a Big Mek with a crackling shokk attack gun and a wily Mekboy, the Orks’ Deff Dreads and Killa Kanz fire one ragged salvo after another into the enemy lines. Foes are blasted, burned and shredded by gunfire, yet this is only a prelude to the true slaughter.

Imperial Knights Super-heavy Detachment  $170

The ground shudders beneath the tread of a towering Dominus-class Knight. The enemies of the Imperium scatter before the mighty war engine, its immense guns blasting ragged holes in their ranks even as their own return fire bounces from the Knight Castellan’s ion shield or clangs and whines from its inches-thick armour. Then the enfilading fire hits home, and panic turns to terror as the enemy realise they have been outflanked by a pair of loping Armiger Helverins.
