Warhammer The Old World – Kingdom of Bretonnia Duke on Royal Pegasus
The second new hero from the core sets of the Warhammer The Old World range is the combined Duke / Baron on Royal Pegasus from the Kingdom of Bretonnia set.
Just like the Necrolith Bone Dragon This model is currently only available as part of the starter set and will be released on January 20th as well.
There are minimal pictures of the baron variant of this kit. In the beginning I thought that the Battle Standard Bearer and Duke/Baron would be one kit, but they are two different sets. More on that further below. While we do not have a price for this model, it is very likely it will cost the same as the Battle Standard Bearer on Royal Pegasus, which is 55 EUR RRP.
Warhammer The Old World – Tomb King of Khemri High Priest on Necrolith Bone Dragon
We covered the unboxing of the already out of stock core sets on the day of the pre-order and will look into the new models, which means in case of the Tomb Kings of Khemri the High Priest or Tomb King on Necrolith Bone Dragon.
This model is currently only available as part of the starter set and will be released on January 20th.
The Necrolith Bone Dragon is spread across two large sprues, including the parts for the monster itself, along with the palanquin for the High Priest and Tomb King. In addition, you will find a large 100 by 150 mm large rectangular base for this model. It doesn't come with decals.
Warhammer The Old World – Tomb Kings of Khemri Unboxing
The second core set for Warhammer The Old World covers the Tomb Kings of Khemri, and is set for pre-order on Saturday January 6th, with a two-week pre-run for delivery on January 20th. This boxed set is a bit more expensive than the Kingdom of Bretonnia edition, with a RRP of 230 EUR / 175 GBP.
This core set will be available in English, German and French and cover a total of 93 miniatures.
Warhammer The Old World – Kingdom of Bretonnia Unboxing
We've talked about the upcoming Warhammer The Old World Pre-Order last Monday and today the vast list of items is ready to order, with delivery on January 20th (so in 2 weeks' time). As you might know, this new game won't come with a classic two army starter, but army bundles that include the new rulebook as a hardcover, and for the release there are two sets, the Kingdom of Bretonnia and the Tomb Kings of Khemri. We're going to cover both of them today, and start with the Kingdom of Bretonnia.
This is the cheaper one of the two and costs 206 EUR / 155 EUR, with a total of 76 miniatures. It is available in English, German and French.
It is a huge, stable box set with glossy prints on all sides. You can see the back below, and the lower part shows two of the painted units, the Men-at-arms and Knights of the Realm. As you can see, the Bretonnians look more uniform than they looked in "regular" Warhammer Fantasy. They go into detail on this in Warhammer Community and to a certain degree, this is the fantasy-counter-part of the pre-heresy paint jobs of some of the Legiones Astartes.
Happy New Year and December 2023 review
2023 is coming to its end, so enjoy today's New Year's Eve and have a Happy New Year!
We take the chance to do our review on December, and extended to the whole year.
Bolt Action Panzer IV Ausf. B/C/D
It has been a while since the last world war tank reviews, especially in plastic, and today we cover the Panzer IV Ausf. B/C/D by Warlord Games in 28mm / 1:56 scale. This one is released about 8 years after the Panzer IV Ausf. F1/G/H plastic kit.
This kit marks the middle between the Panzer III and later variants of the Panzer IV. To be honest, I am a bit surprised, that we actually saw this one, especially with the inclusion of the Ausf. B and C, as they saw minor alterations to the hull, but were not produced in larger numbers and don't have any different rules than the Ausf. D, and even of that one only about 250 units were produced between 1939 and 1941. To put this into perspective, the Panzer IV was built 8,500 times in total, which is still far less than the 34,000 units of T34/76 or 50,000 units of M4 Shermans built in the same period.
Bolt Action SdKfz 250/1 250/4 and 250/7 variants Ausf. A
This is the third time we're covering the Sd.Kfz. 250. Warlord Games released a base kit and covers the variants with small, additional sprues, and while we had the /3 leichter Funkpanzerwagen and /10 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen (3.7 cm PaK), as well as the /9 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen (2 cm) and /11 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen (schwere Panzerbüchse 41) variant, today's review will be about the new Sd.Kfz. 250/4 leichten Truppenluftschutzpanzerwagen and /7 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen (schwerer Granatwerfer).
Bolt Action Campaign Case Blue
The next supplement for Bolt Action is on our table - Campaign Case Blue, covering the summer offensive into the southern region of the Ostfront.
Campaign Case Blue was released in late October 2023, much early than initially anticipated. As the communicated release date was January 9th of 2024. Along with Campaign Stalingrad and Road to Berlin this book completes the coverage on the Eastern Front even further.
Legions Imperialis – Warhound Scout Titan
While we talk about super heavy and heavy armour with the likes of Baneblade and Kratos, there are far bigger warmachines available for Legions Imperialis with the use of the Adeptus Titanicus range from 2018. These boxes will now come repacked with additional content (bases) for the dual use in both systems. And while we already covered the Warhound Scout Titans in 2018 in its initial Double-Box release, we will do an updated review on the variant for Legions Imperialis, as we now have more weaponry!
What is new about the LI variant of the Warhound? Well similar to a lot of other Titanicus releases, Games Workshop swapped the weapon sprue. We have seen this with the Reaver Titan, where they replaced the Laser/Gatling Blaster with Power Fist for Melta Cannon and Chain Fist, the Warlord Titan, with Volcano Cannon or Sunfury Plasma Annihilators and even Warmaster Titan, where the Plasma Destructors got replaced with an Iconoclast weapon system.
Legions Imperialis – Legiones Astartes Kratos Heavy Tank Squadron
The Heavy armour for the Legiones Astartes is here, with the Kratos Heavy Tank.
The Kratos is a new type of vehicle for the Horus Heresy, that was introduced in full scale as a plastic kit in 2022 for the release of the 2nd edition. It is bigger than the Sicaran, whose resin kit was replaced by a plastic kit as well last year. And now you can have both them, again in plastic, for Legions Imperialis.
While the Sicaran is currently exclusive to the core set, you can get the Kratos Heavy Tank Squadron of four, as part of the first wave for the game at a RRP of 40 EUR / 30 GBP.
