Warhammer Licensed Products: Keychains and Purity Seal Badges

• Starforged Keychains and Purity Seal Badges: Launching on December 9th, these Warhammer-themed accessories include detailed Thunder Hammer or Chainsword keychains and Purity Seal badges in three different designs. These items add a touch of Warhammer flair to everyday items.

Coming soon to Forge World are two essential figures for House Delaque: the Rogue Doc and the Gang Lookout. The Rogue Doc is a trained medicae crucial for any gang’s survival, offering the ability to perform an additional Medical Escort action at the end of every battle at no extra cost. This character plays a vital role in saving the lives of injured gangers, adding a strategic layer to post-battle recovery.

The Gang Lookout, on the other hand, is designed to give players an edge in determining their roles in scenarios, helping to decide whether they get to be the Attacker or the Defender. This addition will be particularly useful for players looking to control the flow of the game.

Additionally, House Delaque is receiving Ash Wastes Upgrades, which include 10 unique masked-and-goggled head designs perfect for vehicle crews and outdoor gangs. The upgrade kit also comes with two sets of five backpacks and 10 flasks, adding more customization options for players.

Further enhancing the House Delaque experience, a new pack of 18 Delaque Vehicle Tactics Cards will be released, including eight blank vehicle cards. Alongside this, a reprint of the second set of Delaque Gang Tactics Cards will be available. For those interested in constructing their own Delaque vehicles, rules for drivers and unique upgrades are available for free download.

All these new models and accessories will be available in Forge World resin. These additions to House Delaque are not just functional but also add to the rich lore and aesthetic of the Necromunda universe, offering players new ways to engage with the game both strategically and creatively.

Necromunda, like many Imperium worlds, is a planet on the brink of exhaustion. Its mineral wealth has been mostly depleted after relentless millennia of industry, with even hazardous byproducts dwindling. Amidst the chaos of the Aranthian Succession, the Ironhead Squat Prospectors are tirelessly combing the outlands, seeking whatever hidden riches might lie beneath the ashen dunes.

The most enterprising and skilled of these prospectors are known as Claim Jumpers. Armed with their tools and gem extractors, these resilient explorers venture into the wastes, guided by an uncanny ability to locate unstaked mining sites and potential treasure troves.

The Claim Jumpers don’t solely rely on intuition and skill. They are also accompanied by Techmite Autoveyors, small robots regarded as both pets and essential tools. Each Techmite is equipped with a variety of multi-use tools, ideal for uncovering valuable scrap and credits from the most unlikely places.

Interestingly, in Necromunda’s hostile environment, protocol dictates that any staked resource sites belong to the House that found them. However, the Claim Jumpers have a reputation for pilfering these stashes even before a gang can set up shop.

This new pair of resin miniatures represents the epitome of resourcefulness and the relentless drive for survival in Necromunda’s harsh reality. The Squat Claim Jumper and the Techmite Autoveyor will be available for pre-order soon.

At the helm of these releases is the miniature of Minka Lesk, a character brought to life by author Justin D. Hill. Known as the last Whiteshield of Kasr Myrak, Lesk’s heroic rise through the ranks to captain the Cadian 101st Regiment has endeared her to many. Now, fans can own a miniature of this legendary character by pre-ordering between Saturday, 22nd July and Monday, 7th August.

The tale of Lt. Lesk continues in “Shadow of The Eighth”, an intriguing narrative that finds Lesk and the Cadian 101st in possession of a relic from the missing Cadian 8th. A quest for honour and retribution takes them to a world caught in the collapsing regime of the Chaos warlord Drakul-zar, where past horrors resurface amidst a frozen industrial sprawl.

Fans will be able to pre-order the Special Edition of “Shadow of The Eighth”, which features a limited run of 1,500 copies, each signed by Justin D. Hill. It includes an author’s introduction, a new short story “Ghosts of Kasr Myrak”, bronze gilt page edges, a ribbon page marker, and unique cover art. Alternatively, the book is also available in hardback, eBook and audiobook formats.

For those looking to delve into Lt. Lesk’s past, the “Minka Lesk: The Last Whiteshield” omnibus offers a collection of stories that track her valiant fight for Cadia, available for pre-order in either paperback or eBook formats.

On the Necromunda front, a new 336-page rulebook is on its way. Compiling all major aspects of the game rules, the Necromunda: Core Rulebook includes the core rules for fighters and vehicles, skills, weapons, traits, a combined trading post, the Dominion Campaign, and 11 scenarios. The rulebook will be available in hardback and ePub formats.

To further support Necromunda gameplay, Games Workshop is also releasing two card packs. The Core Gang Tactics Cards ensure easy reference for key tactics, while the Open Hive War Card Pack offers 50 cards that generate unique missions for players. A pack of 50 card sleeves will also be available to protect these cards from wear and tear.

Lastly, the Black Library is adding new treasures for fans, with the “Tanith Regimental Banner” for fans of the Tanith First and Only, Mike Brook’s novel “Renegades: Harrowmaster”, and the audiobook “Manslayer” by Nathan Long up for pre-orders.

The Millisaurs are notorious for their ability to chew through anything that comes in their path, be it rocks or steel bulkheads. With a Beastmaster to keep them in check, these creatures can make quick work of any opponent. This resin pack includes one Beastmaster and two Millisaur companions, a perfect addition to any gang.

Forge World has announced that this pack is available for pre-order on their webstore. Any Necromunda enthusiast can order this pack and add some cantankerous critters to their gang.

From the article:

Our last Apocrypha Necromunda featured Athera, Blade of the Matriarch battling Goliaths at the height of the assault on Cinderak City, and though the fires have since died down there’s no shortage of danger to be found amidst the ruins. A malicious intelligence rises from death and the tendrils of the Warp are at play, while Gorshiv Hammerfist drags the remains of his badly mauled Crushers from the smouldering battleground.

Here’s Owen Barnes from the Necromunda team to talk about this month’s free download – The Daemons of Meridian.
