Here’s all the cool, new stuff you can get from Games Workshop this weekend!

via Games Workshop

JOYTOY Vanguard Space Marines Ultramarines Invictor Tactical Warsuit $150

The Adeptus Astartes, commonly known as Space Marines, are incredibly powerful transhuman soldiers armed with potent weapons and power armour that allow them to go toe-to-toe with the unspeakable horrors of the 41st Millennium. These paragons of warfare are organised into over a thousand Chapters, each with their own heraldry, history, and combat doctrine. The myths and legends of one such Chapter, the Ultramarines, stretch back over ten thousand years.

Invictor Warsuits are favoured as heavy support for Vanguard forces. Capable of quiet, stealthy movement that belies their size, these stripped-down combat walkers can accompany infantry deep behind enemy lines, bringing their considerable firepower with them. The Phobos-armoured pilots are plugged directly into the Invictor’s systems, rendering the Warsuit an extension of their own superhuman body.

This 1:18 scale action figure from JOYTOY represents an Invictor Tactical Warsuit of the Ultramarines Chapter. The figure towers over the JOYTOY Space Marines, standing proud at 30cm high and 26cm wide, with an impressive 45 points of articulation, including a fully detailed cockpit that can be opened and closed. The Invictor is studded with weapons, including a twin ironhail autocannon, fragstorm grenade launcher, heavy bolter, twin ironhail heavy stubber, and invictor fist. The pilot stands 12cm tall, just like his JOYTOY brethren, and he can be dismounted to operate independently. He’s armed and armoured as an Infiltrator, complete with bolt carbine, bolt pistol, and removable pouches and power pack.

The Invictor Tactical Warsuit and pilot are made of ABS PVC and POM plastic polymer. The paintwork features additional layers of detail, including Chapter and vehicle markings, and incorporates edge highlighting to add depth and realism.

Made to Order
This Vanguard Space Marines Ultramarines Invictor Tactical Warsuit is available via Made to Order from Saturday the 29th of January until 6pm (BST) on Sunday the 6th of February, and will begin being dispatched within 6 months of this period.

This collectors’ edition is a premium quality codex designed for ultimate fans of the T’au Empire. It comes with printed page edges, a soft-touch cover with foil blocking, and a black 1/4″ ribbon marker.

Codex: T’au Empire $50

The T’au are a young and dynamic race of technologically advanced aliens whose empire is spreading like wildfire across the stars. Ruled and guided by the enigmatic Ethereals, the T’au seek to unite every sentient being under the light of the T’au’va, or Greater Good. They prefer that others join this growing alliance willingly, but do not hesitate to use force to fulfil their destiny wherever they must. At the forefront of this fight are the Hunter Cadres of the Fire Caste. Comprising highly mobile and well-armed soldiery, led and supported by veteran warriors piloting deadly battlesuits, gunships and strike fighters, these armies sweep all before them in a blizzard of devastating firepower. Signature battle strategies such as the decisive Mont’ka or the cunning ambush of the Kauyon see the enemy outmanoeuvred at every turn, while their potent blend of technological might and ideological fanaticism ensure the T’au achieve victory after victory.

This 136-page book comprehensively covers the T’au Empire. It has everything you need to bring the technological might of the T’au to bear on the tabletop in order to expand the empire, plus a selection of lore and art to inspire your own collection.

Combat Patrol: T’au Empire $140

The T’au Empire are a fledgling race in the grand scheme of things, thrusting out into the stars to spread their philosophy of the Greater Good to all they can reach. For many races, this comes in the form of pleasant democracy, which pleases the T’au. For those that resist, the T’au are forced to bring to bear their technological might in the form of punishing long-ranged weaponry, high-tech aeroplanes and tanks, and highly adaptable battlesuits.

If ruling through technological supremacy and fielding a force flexible enough to respond to any battlefield threat sounds like your way of waging war, then Combat Patrol: T’au Empire is for you. Start a brand new army right here, or expand an existing force with this box set. It contains approximately 25 power level’s worth of units, making it ideal for Combat Patrol sized games of Warhammer 40,000.

This set includes the following multipart plastic units:

1x Ethereal
1x Cadre Fireblade
1x XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit with 2x Drones

The above units are supplied with 1x 105mmx70mm oval base, 2x40mm round bases, 5x 32mm round bases, 12x 25mm round bases, 5x small flying bases and four long flying stems.

Darkstrider $35

As much a maverick as he is a master of covert operations, Sub-commander E’Myamoto is a formidable leader of stealth and sabotage missions. His structural analyser allows him to pinpoint the weak spots of even the most indomitable enemies. Meanwhile, his expertise in guerilla warfare renders his forces all the more deadly.

Command your T’au Empire forces with the legendary Darkstrider, a skilled Pathfinder who has refused numerous promotions to remain with his comrades. Making use of the T’au Empire’s advanced technology, Darkstrider is able to highlight the weak points of hostile targets, allowing his allies to destroy them with impressive efficiency. Darkstrider himself attacks with Shade, a powerful custom pulse weapon.

This 11-piece plastic kit makes one Darkstrider and is supplied with a 32mm Citadel round base.

This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Ethereal $30

The Ethereals are serene and wise – spiritual leaders of the T’au who embody the wisdom and unity of the Greater Good. In times of war, they take to the field in person, fighting with ritual weapons, skimming above the battle aboard hover drones and invoking the fundamental might of the T’au Empire’s warlike castes.

Inspire your T’au Empire forces with an Ethereal. Reluctant warriors armed with honour staves, Ethereals prefer to use Innovations to boost the effectiveness of their T’au underlings. Equipped with a hover drone, the Ethereal can quickly provide support and inspiration where it is most needed.

This 10-piece plastic kit makes one Ethereal and is supplied with a 40mm Citadel round base.

This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Captains are fearless leaders among the Space Marines, each one a masterful tactician and skilled warrior armed with a variety of weapons and equipment. Clad in a suit of heavy Gravis armour, a Captain can fearlessly stride into the very fiercest battlefield firestorms.
