Will their sacrifice be enough, when faced with the wrath of the Soul Forge King?

This box is loaded with two evenly-matched armies – stalwart Dark Angels and twisted Chaos Space Marines.

The third book in the Arks of Omen series matches the aesthetics of the other volumes, ensuring your collection will look incredible on the shelves – including a prominent “III” mark on the spine. It’s appointed with the same style of exclusive art on a soft-touch cover, with silver foil detailing, printed page edges, and a black ribbon bookmark.

Arks of Omen: Vashtorr $60

Vashtorr the Arkifane, daemon demigod of the soul forges, has fixed his gaze upon the Rock. Somewhere deep within the spacefaring battle station and fortress-monastery of the Dark Angels lies a prize that the Arkifane will spend countless lives to seize. Gathering a terrifying Balefleet around him, riding to battle aboard the most vast and grotesque Ark of Omen yet, Vashtorr closes his ironclad talons around the heart of the Dark Angels Chapter and prepares to crush it.

Yet the Dark Angels are a stubborn and strategically brilliant Chapter. Even in the face of such sudden and calamitous adversity, their grim resolve comes to the fore. Rousing every warrior and weapon at their disposal, the Dark Angels dig in and prepare to fight for every corridor, every echoing chamber, dark oubliette and shadowed stairway. They are led in their defence by Supreme Grand Master Azrael, who will see the servants of the Dark Gods driven from the Rock no matter the cost.

As battle rages and the fight grows ever more desperate, neither invaders nor defenders suspect that a third power moves in the shadows, preparing to strike…

Boarding Patrol: Genestealer Cults $125

Advertisement

The hideously warped followers of the Genestealer Cults infest every corner of Imperial space, forever plotting to spread their fervent devotion and genetic taint. Such cults will even hijack spaceborne vessels and ancient, drifting space hulks in an effort to overthrow their oppressors, employing ambush and subterfuge to outmanoeuvre their enemies through twisting and shadowy walkways. When the Day of Ascension arrives, they will be ready.

Boarding Patrol: Genestealer Cults provides a melee-focused force of fanatical mutants, perfectly suited to tearing enemies asunder in games of Warhammer 40,000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.

The Kelermorph leads the way, firing a trio of customised pistols with deadly accuracy in close quarters. Behind him follow 10 Acolyte Hybrids, armed with repurposed industrial machinery and inspired by their rebel leader. Foes hardy enough to survive their onslaught will be crushed by the grotesque, hulking Abominant, leading five of his lesser Aberrant siblings through the winding corridors of the space hulk.

This set includes the following:
– 1x Kelermorph
– 1x Abominant
– 5x Aberrants
– 10x Acolyte Hybrids, which can alternatively be built as Hybrid Metamorphs

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is a Kelermorph, Abominant, five Aberrants, and two five-model units of Acolyte Hybrids.

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Boarding Patrol: Death Guard $115

Bloated with corruption and sworn to Grandfather Nurgle’s service, the disgusting, rotted bodies of the Death Guard stink of decay, the joints of their armour dribbling putrescent slime that corrodes metal and burns flesh. These horrific disfigurements only enhance their skill as killers – each of Mortarion’s sons is a fearsome warrior who brings death and infection wherever they tread. To discover any foe lurking within a space hulk is a worrying thought, but the Death Guard’s presence is the stuff of nightmares.

Boarding Patrol: Death Guard provides a relentlessly tough force of Death Guard infantry, perfectly suited to gunning down and cutting up foes in games of Warhammer 40,000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.

Lead your invasion with the Lord of Virulence, clad in his warped Terminator armour, as he reduces whole corridors of enemies to a foul sludge with his twin plague spewer and plague claw. As he advances, he’s guarded by three silent Deathshroud Bodyguard – brutal elites wearing Terminator armour and armed with sweeping scythes and vile plaguespurt gauntlets. In their wake follow 10 Plague Marines, toughened and festering warriors with an array of contaminated wargear suited to both melee and close firefights.

This set includes the following:
– 1x Lord of Virulence
– 3x Deathshroud Bodyguard
– 10x Plague Marines

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is a Lord of Virulence, two units of five Plague Marines, and three Deathshroud.

Boarding Patrol: Adeptus Mechanicus $140

The Adeptus Mechanicus are the undisputed masters of Humanity’s technological secrets – many of which date back thousands of years before the birth of the Imperium. The avaricious Tech-Priests will seize any opportunity to recover long-lost archeotech from the depths of a space hulk, assembling forces of loyal Skitarii and mindless Servitors to guard their expeditions and eliminate any rivals.

Boarding Patrol: Adeptus Mechanicus provides a balanced force of cybernetic warriors, perfectly suited to crushing and incinerating foes in games of Warhammer 40,000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.

Clear out cramped hallways with three rumbling Kataphron battle servitors, spraying fire from heavy guns while a stealthy strike force of five Sicarian Infiltrators dart through the corridors, wielding pistols and melee weapons. Behind them march 10 rad-soaked Skitarii Vanguard, split into squads of five to traverse the tight passageways, saturating entire hallways with debilitating volleys and special weaponry. All are guided by a Tech-Priest Dominus – a master of the Cult Mechanicus, with an arsenal of arcane armaments.

This set includes the following:
– 1x Tech-Priest Dominus
– 3x Kataphron Destroyers, which can alternatively be built as Kataphron Breachers
– 5x Sicarian Infiltrators, which can alternatively be built as Sicarian Ruststalkers
– 10x Skitarii Vanguard, which can alternatively be built as Skitarii Rangers

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is a Tech-Priest Dominus, three Kataphron Destroyers, five Sicarian Infiltrators, and two five-model squads of Skitarii Vanguard.

All models are supplied with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Rules for playing Boarding Action games of Warhammer 40,000 can be found in the Arks of Omen: Abaddon supplement. Additional rules for Adeptus Mechanicus Boarding Patrols can be found in Arks of Omen: Vashtorr.

 

Boarding Patrol: Chaos Daemons $130

The daemonic servants of Khorne spill from the madness of the warp to corrupt and slaughter, seeking worthy prey on which to slake their endless rage. The confines of a voidborne vessel or ancient space hulk are no defence against their depredations – when Geller fields fail, entire hulls contort and deform at the touch of Chaos. Tearing through to realspace, the daemonic legions of the Blood God lay waste to whole crews in their gruesome quest to drown the stars in blood.

Boarding Patrol: Chaos Daemons provides a melee-focused force of Khornate daemons, perfectly suited to ripping foes limb-from-limb in games of Warhammer 40,000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.

Led by the ever-hungry Karanak, the Hound of Vengeance – the physical manifestation of the Skull Throne’s wrathful spite – two packs of five Flesh Hounds race through winding corridors, following the soul-scent of their hapless prey. In their wake follow 10 Bloodletters, the footsoldiers of Khorne, driven by frenetic bloodlust and an unparalleled killing instinct as they cut down enemies in close quarters.

This set includes the following:
– 1x Karanak, The Hound of Vengeance
– 10x Flesh Hounds
– 10x Bloodletters

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is Karanak, two units of five Flesh Hounds, and a unit of ten Bloodletters.

Typhon Heavy Siege Tank $115

The Typhon is named for the ‘Great Beast’ of Terran myth, and lives up to its namesake in sheer brutal strength. Sharing a basic chassis with the Spartan Assault Tank, this heavy tank serves as a mobile gun-platform with enough power to operate a single massive piece of siege artillery – the dreadhammer cannon. The Typhon was created to meet the demands of the Primarch Perturabo of the Iron Warriors, who sought a war engine that could rapidly deploy such fortress-breaking firepower to the battle line alongside his Legionaries. Though unsubtle in design, its overwhelming effectiveness is beyond question.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Typhon Heavy Siege Tank, an armoured tank with a truly massive cannon. This formidable vehicle’s primary armament is the dreadhammer siege cannon, a centreline-mounted weapon capable of cracking bunkers, smashing enemy engines, and pulping whole squads. In addition to its main gun, the Typhon also sports a pair of sponson weapons – your choice of heavy bolters, heavy flamers, lascannons, or volkite culverins. Both the siege cannon and sponsons can be assembled without glue, allowing you to adjust their positioning mid-battle.

The kit also includes components to upgrade the Typhon Heavy Siege Tank with a pintle-mounted weapon – a havoc launcher, heavy bolter, heavy flamer, multi-melta, or a combi-weapon with five configurations (bolter, flamer, melta, plasma, or volkite) – as well as a searchlight, a hunter-killer missile, and a number of cosmetic options, such as towing hooks, sigils, and a choice of a Space Marine gunner, spotter, or closed hatch.

This kit comprises 221 plastic components, and is supplied with a Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 44 optional markings and icons for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists Legions. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
