There’s a new batch of Boarding Patrols and some new Necromunda kits out from Games Workshop this weekend!

via Games Workshop

Boarding Patrol: Adeptus Custodes $110

The Adeptus Custodes are demigods of war, engineered to defend the Emperor to their last breath. In this dark and dangerous age, that mission compels them away from Holy Terra and out into the stars, even on board desolate space hulks to purge them of any threat to their distant master. Each of these indomitable figures is a living legend, boasting skills beyond any foe of the Golden Throne.

Boarding Patrol: Adeptus Custodes provides an elite force of gold-clad warriors, perfectly suited to sundering 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 force with Captain-General Trajann Valoris – claimed to be the greatest warrior to hold this esteemed title since the Emperor strode the stars. Beside him are three Allarus Custodians, who dominate gangways with guardian spears or castellan axes that can decapitate even the biggest foes, as well as five Custodian Guard, wielding a variety of deadly weaponry and clad in only the finest wargear.

This set includes the following:
– 1x Captain-General Trajann Valoris
– 3x Allarus Custodians, two of which can alternatively be built as a Shield-Captain or Vexilus Praetor in Allarus Terminator Armour
– 5x Custodian Guard, two of which can alternatively be built as a Shield-Captain or Vexilus Praetor

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is Trajann Valoris, two Allarus Custodians split into squads of one model each, and three Custodian Guards.

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.

Boarding Patrol: Thousand Sons $115

The Thousand Sons are a Legion of trapped souls and mad sorcerers, advancing into battle with gouts of kaleidoscopic warpflame and bolts of raw psychic might. These accursed arcanists board space hulks in search of lost knowledge and ancient artefacts, protected by implacable automaton Rubricae and the cackling mutants bound by their warband.

Boarding Patrol: Thousand Sons provides a sorcerous force of durable warriors, ideally suited to blasting through 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.

A pair of Aspiring Sorcerers are the minds behind this operation, slinging spells and guiding a cohort of undying Rubric Marines through cramped corridors, armed with enchanted bolters and mutagenic warpflamers. Ahead of these implacable automata lurch the maddened Chaos Spawn – mutant fiends born of the Flesh Change, who hunt down horrified foes with unnatural strength and deadly speed.

This set includes the following:
– 20x Rubric Marines, two of which are Aspiring Sorcerers able to bolster squads
– 2x Chaos Spawn

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is a Chaos Spawn and two squads of 10 Rubric Marines, split into five-model teams.

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.

Boarding Patrol: Adepta Sororitas $140

The Adepta Sororitas is the Chamber Militant, or armed fighting force, of the Adeptus Ministorum. Often known colloquially as the ‘Sisters of Battle’, their Orders were founded to defend the faithful and their places of worship – combating threats from heretics, witches, and blasphemous creatures on holy pilgrimage ships or retrieving relics from long-forgotten space hulks, armed with flame, blade, and bolt shell.

Boarding Patrol: Adepta Sororitas provides a balanced force of zealous warriors, ideally suited to crushing their 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 assault with a fearless Canoness, who can be armed with a variety of guns, blades, and relics to slay heretics, xenos, and traitors alike. An elite bodyguard of five Celestian Sacresants follow in her wake, carrying power weapons and heavy shields to sweep the corridors clean. Behind them follow ten armoured Battle Sisters, as well as squad of Repentia, fanatical fallen sisters driven to battle by a whip-wielding Repentia Superior.

This set includes the following:
– 1x Canoness
– 5x Celestian Sacresants
– 1x Repentia Superior
– 9x Sisters Repentia
– 10x Battle Sisters, which can also be built as Dominions and Celestians, plus 1x Incensor Cherub

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is a Canoness, two squads of five Battle Sisters, five Celestian Sacresants, and four Repentia. 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.

Necromunda: The Aranthian Succession – The Vaults of Temenos $50

Cinderak City has fallen, and the rebellious Lady Credo has dealt a significant blow against the Imperial House. Lady Haera Helmawr seeks to consolidate her damaged authority – but even as she sends hundreds of Enforcer patrols flooding into the depths of Hive Primus, a Redemptionist Crusade grows into the tens of thousands, following a mysterious leader in search of a lost prophet…

This narrative expansion follows on from the world-shaking events in Necromunda: The Aranthian Succession – Cinderak Burning, and continues the Succession Campaign from that book. It also introduces new rules to add even more variety, scope and excitement to your battles on Necromunda.

This 136-page hardback supplement contains:

– The Great Pilgrimage: Details of the events which unfolded on Necromunda following the fall of Cinderak City, the rise of the Prophet, and the attempts of Lady Haera Helmawr to claim rulership of the Imperial House. Includes a full timeline of the Great Pilgrimage, and a guide to the Saints of Necromunda.

– Crusading Gangs: Rules for embarking any gang on a holy Crusade, as they pledge themselves to one of a selection of Saints and seek their miraculous blessings by following that Saint’s Tenets.

– The Road to Temenos Campaign: Rules for playing a series of linked games that take players through the events of the Great Pilgrimage and the hunt to secure – and employ – the fabled Relics of Necromunda, as faith becomes essential to controlling the populace and winning the civil war.

– Narrative Scenarios: Seven narrative scenarios that reflect the events of the Great Pilgrimage, such as battling through tunnels in Race to the Vault, or defending the faithful in Pilgrimage Assault.

– Dramatis Personae: Four new Dramatis Personae central to the story, to hire and use with your gang: the Cawdor Outlaw Agent known only as Prophet of the Redemption; Axon Hammer, the Goliath Outlaw Agent and legendary Scourge of the Spider Points; Durgan Kill-Fist, an Outlaw Bounty Hunter and Champion of the Brokebone, and Scrutinator-Primus Servalen, a Bounty Hunter accompanied by her Cyber-mastiff KB-88.

– Additional Rules: New rules for House Cawdor and Palanite Enforcer gangs to use in games of Necromunda, including new vehicle crew and gang tactics for House Cawdor gangs, as well as Cawdor Way-Brethren mounted atop Ridge Walkers, while Enforcers unleash ‘Sanctioner’ Pattern Automata and Hardcase Cyber-mastiffs on unsuspecting criminals. Also included are rules for the Chronos-pattern Ironcrawler, and options for allying your gang with the Imperial House.

This is an expansion to Necromunda – you’ll need a copy of the Necromunda: Ash Wastes Rulebook (or the Necromunda core rules and Book of the Outlands supplement) to use the contents of this book.

Enforcer ‘Sanctioner’ Pattern Automata $50

Sanctioners are semi-sentient servo-automata, employed by Palanite Enforcers in times of particular crisis. These hulking cybernetic brutes are controlled by the salvaged cranial remains of particularly merciless Enforcers, psycho-conditioned for utter dedication to the letter of the law. As such, they are known on the streets of Necromunda as ‘Lawtomata’, relentless armoured constructs protected by thick carapace plating, shrugging off small arms fire and putting down whole uprisings with heavier weaponry than any flesh-and-blood Enforcer could bring to bear.

This multipart plastic kit builds two Enforcer ‘Sanctioner’ Pattern Automata, armoured robots that can be used by any Palanite Enforcer gang. Each of these cybernetic sluggers sports a built-in grenade launcher and can be armed with a variety of fearsome weaponry – the kit includes two right-handed pacifier assault claws, as well as two heavy shock batons, two concussion cannons, two assault rams, and two mancatchers that can be mounted on either arm, or even both. Each Sanctioner’s arms can be posed as you see fit, and the kit offers multiple ways to pose their legs, adding extra variety to your robot reinforcements.

The kit comprises 104 plastic components, and comes with 2x Necromunda 40mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Rules for using the Enforcer ‘Sanctioner’ Pattern Automata in your games of Necromunda can be found in The Aranthian Succession: Vaults of Temenos supplement.

Cawdor Ridge Walkers $50

Way-Brethren are the outriders of the Redemption’s wasteland crusades. Mounted on mechanical Ridge Walkers, these tireless pilgrims range ahead of the teeming masses of the faithful, blazing a trail between the shrines and holy sites of Necromunda’s ash wastes for those that follow. Ridge Walkers are hardy engine-steeds that turn the Way-Brethren into swift and deadly combatants, capable of charging down foes or bullying through enemy lines with almost knightly vigour.

This multipart plastic kit builds four Cawdor Ridge Walkers, ramshackle warmachines that can be added to any Cawdor gang. These bipedal constructs are built from scrap and spare parts, littered with exposed mechanisms and makeshift repairs. The Way-Brethren can be armed with a motley collection of weapons – this set includes autoguns, frag lances, krak lances, and flails for each of them, as well as two stub guns and two reclaimed autopistols. The kit offers a choice of eight different head designs, plus interchangeable bodies and backpacks to give each of your Cawdor riders a distinct appearance, as well as extra armour and foot-skids to personalise your Ridge Walkers.

This set comprises 100 plastic components, and is supplied with 4x Citadel 60x35mm Oval Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Rules for using Cawdor Ridge Walkers in your games of Necromunda can be found in The Aranthian Succession: Vaults of Temenos supplement.

Demonstrate your faith with this House Cawdor-themed dice set, containing all the different types of dice you’ll need for your games of Necromunda – including D6s with the icon of House Cawdor on the 6 face, to really show who the God-Emperor is favouring on the tabletop.

Contents:

Cawdor Vehicle Gang Tactics Cards $20

Gangers from the House of Faith manufacture vehicles from any pieces of scrap that they can salvage. They ride these ramshackle vehicles out into the ash wastes, aiming to spread their faith and win their fortune between the shrines and holy sites dotted around the desert.

Take charge of your wasteland workshop with this pack of 26 reference cards for the gangs of House Cawdor, including a full set of Vehicle Gang Tactics, as well as blank Vehicle cards for tracking your gang’s vehicles. Each card is proudly stamped with the icon of the House of Faith, making it a perfect showcase for your deference to the God-Emperor as you head out into the desert.

This box contains 26x cards (100mm x 75mm) for use in games of Necromunda:
– 18x Cawdor Vehicle Gang Tactics cards
– 8x Blank Vehicle cards
