Each copy of issue 496 also comes with cardboard inserts which include 1x double-sided rules card for the Vanguard Space Marines Combat Patrol containing Stratagems, Abilities, Secondary Objectives, and Enhancements, 2x Paint Recipe cards, 2x Bunker Achievement Cards, 4x Combat Patrol Datasheets and a double-sided card featuring the Bunker Scenarios of the month for Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000.

IONUS CRYPTBORN, WARDEN OF LOST SOULS $130

Ionus Cryptborn is a living legend, descending like a silent shadow over the most beleaguered of battlefields. His prayers are capable of calling down wicked maelstroms of lightning that can smash through sieges, and electrocute armies.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Ionus Cryptborn, Warden of Lost Souls – a legendary leader of the Stormcast Eternals riding an ancient and powerful Draconith, and armed with the infamous Soulbreaker weapon.

This kit contains 48 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 100mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

BELTHANOS, FIRST THORN OF KURNOTH $110

Belthanos leads the eternal hunt that keeps his master Kurnoth’s spirit in bloom. Cloaked in leaves and riding atop a Carnelian Greatspite made of pure life magic, he chases down those who would harm Ghyran so that his howling followers might rip them apart.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Belthanos, First Thorn of Kurnoth, for use in Sylvaneth armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Belthanos is posed wielding his fearsome Kurnoth Glaive, riding his monstrous Carnelian Greatspite mount, and blowing on his Kurnothi War-horn, summoning the hosts of the Sylvaneth to war. Calling the Unending hunt, Belthanos’s song reverberates around the battlefield as he leads his allies in reclaiming and cleansing the Mortal Realms.

This kit contains 50 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 150mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

TRUGG THE TROGGOTH KING $100

Trugg is the mightiest of all troggoths. A towering mass of strength and ill temper, he carries atop his back an arcane keystone of ancient design, which fuels his already formidable physical might with unpredictable bursts of elemental magic… and gives him a terrible headache.

This multipart plastic kit builds Trugg the Troggoth King – an overgrown brute empowered by ancient magics and sheer grumpiness. Trugg is covered in ritual scars, tangled vines, and decaying relics from his long slumber in the caves of Ghyran, and imposing antlers curl out from his brow like a crown. The strange artefact built atop his hunched back crackles with otherworldly power – especially when Trugg smacks it with his club, which is capped with the shell of a massive ironshell snail.

Even crouching down under his arcane burden, Trugg is taller than a mighty Dankhold Troggoth – he’s a monster truly worthy of the title ‘Troggoth King’.

This kit contains 30 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 100mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
