Today’s pre-orders! The second most legendary Commissar in the Imperium – second to Yarrick, no shame there – makes his mark on the tabletop with a stunning miniature. You get both Cain and Jurgen, posed on your choice of one base or two, and you can even include them in your own games of Warhammer 40,000 with free rules released this week. This is your first chance to buy these miniatures, which are currently only available while stocks last. This kit may return at a future date. Mix speed and firepower with the potent Hippogriff Armoured Fighting Vehicle, pairing a blistering movement range with powerful turret-mounted weapons. You can pick from a vigilator cannon, chiron gatling cannon, melta cannon, or heavy lascannon to take on the targets of your choice. If you need a whole squad of Guardsmen or some heavy weapons ferried up to the front, look no further than the armoured bulk of a Centaur RSV. It carries loads of models in the back, at a cut-price points value that’s easy to fit into your army list. The Hammer of the Emperor is here with a packed box of units perfect for a new Astra Militarum collection. You get a Commissar, a Cadian Command Squad, a unit of Cadian Shock Troops, a Field Ordnance battery, a Basilisk artillery vehicle, and a supreme Rogal Dorn battle tank. The Tomb World rises with this Necron Host! Bolster your undying legion with a Catacomb Command Barge, 20 Necron Warriors, five Flayed Ones, three Ophydian Destroyers with their accompanying Plasmacyte, a Canoptek Doomstalker, and six Scarab Swarms.  Embrace the Dark Gods with a powerful coalition of warp-fueled killers. The Chaos Space Marines Warband consists of a Lord Discordant mounted on a Helstalker, 10 Legionaries, 20 Chaos Cultists, a Venomcrawler, and two Obliterators. Perhaps you just want to consume everything in your path and not worry about the consequences. This new battleforce includes a bit of everything that makes the Tyranids great – a fearsome Hive Tyrant, a Lictor, three Tyranid Warriors, three Von Ryan’s Leapers, 10 Hormagaunts, 10 Termagants, and two Ripper Swarms. The four Warhammer 40,000 battleforces are only available while stocks last. The MkIV ‘Maximus’ pattern makes its way to the field in a new Battle Group box. This is the first place you’ll be able to get the new MkIV Space Marines: 10 Assault Marines with the option for power spears and 20 Tactical Marines, flanked by a powerful Contemptor Dreadnought and a Sicaran battle tank. The Maximus Battle Group boxed set is available while stocks last. Attack your foes when they least expect it with a long-range barrage from a Whirlwind Missile Tank. Armed with a variety of munitions, it excels at blasting enemy infantry from objectives before your own troops advance to claim them. Fight through the claustrophobic corridors and dingy tunnels of bunker complexes, manufactorums, and other confined spaces in Journal Tactica: Zone Mortalis. You’ll find rules for tense battles set in ultra-close confines, with new missions and some new units to try out that especially love close-quarters combat.
