It is another big round of releases for 40K next weekend. Blackstone Fortress is getting Zoats, and Fabius “Skin Coat” Bile is coming along with a new book.

Everyone loves Zoats in 40K. The name is great, the model is even better, the newest one exemplifies just how far 40K sculptors have come since the days where this:

…was a Zoat. Now it’s this:

..and soon that will be in your grubby mitts, once you pre-order it next weekend.

As if the Blackstone Fortress wasn’t strange enough, along comes the six-limbed Zoat to aid your adventurers. The Deadly Alliance expansion features a quest where you try to quell the Seethe, a maze of shifting chambers that threatens to destroy the Fortress itself. Only the Zoat knows how to prevent this, so you must gain its trust and follow it into the hidden depths.

The expansion also includes rules for using the stunning Zoat model in games of Warhammer 40,000 where it can join any army. Whether you want to complete the quest and save Blackstone Fortress, add a mercenary xenos to your Warhammer 40,000 army or just want the nostalgic warm glow of owning a Zoat model, grab yourself Deadly Alliance.

But next week also sees the release of the disgustingly beautiful new Fabius Bile, whose model has undergone a similar beauty treatment/update this year:

And Fabius is releasing along with the accompanying Psychic Awakening: War of the Spider.

Fabius is the titular character in War of the Spider, the next book in the galaxy-spanning Psychic Awakening storyline. He returns to the ruins of Cadia, hunted by the Death Guard and Imperial agents. This would be too much for many people, but they don’t call him the Spider for nothing, so we’ll see who’s actually falling into who’s trap. The book has rules for the Death Guard, Adeptus Custodes, Sisters of Silence, Imperial Assassins and Creations of Bile, a new way of playing Chaos Space Marines.

All this, next week! Be on the lookout for more previews!
