A Lumineth Realm-lords novel

For Lumineth Stonemage Carreth Y’gethin, an Ossiarch Bonereapers invasion of Hysh comes with personal challenges as he faces destiny head-on.

READ IT BECAUSE
Explore notions of destiny and divinity through the lens of the Lumineth Realm-lords in a tale that pits the aelves against Nagash’s dread servants.

THE STORY
Long have the Lumineth Realm-lords held themselves aloof from the troubles of the Mortal Realms. But now, as Nagash asserts his dominion over the living and the dead, the Lumineth must strike back.

For Carreth Y’gethin, a legendary warrior and powerful Stonemage, the war against Nagash is merely a distraction from the Lumineth’s true purpose – to hone their spiritual equilibrium and prevent their realm falling back into the madness that once plagued it. But when Carreth’s sister is horrifically killed fighting the undead, he finds himself drawn back into the struggle.

As the Ossiarch Bonereapers invade Hysh, Carreth is charged by Teclis himself to defeat one of Nagash’s most dangerous generals – one destined to destroy the Light of Eltharion, the Lumineth’s greatest champion. The Stonemage must conquer the warring emotions within and slay this champion of Death, lest the light of Hysh fade from the Mortal Realms forever…

A Warhammer Horror Story

Follow in the footsteps of Rudgard Howe, an enforcer cadet who, while on their first mission, and embroiled in an embittered succession battle back home, uncovers a heinous sanguinary cult…

READ IT BECAUSE
In the grim darkness of the far future, horror lies in the most unlikely of places, as a routine investigation becomes something all the more sinister.

THE STORY
On the captital world of Potence, young enforcer cadet Rudgard Howe is caught up in a bitter internecine feud to inherit his father’s position of Chief Enforcer. As the tithe fleets approach, he is sent on his first mission to ensure that the planet’s distant agri-facilities fulfil their quotas to the God-Emperor. Farmed with serfs and managed by ex-Militarum soldiers, the agri-facilities are places of shocking brutality and hopelessness. But when he is sent to the outlying farmstead of Thorsarbour, Rudgard discovers a community where the crops are left to rot as the inhabitants indulge in the bloody ecstasy of a sanguinary cult. As Rudgard imposes the strict Lex Imperialis upon the farmstead, he begins to uncover a place where sanity is rapidly slipping. Just a single step into his nightmarish mission though, a series of cruel deaths threatens to dismantle everything he has ever known about the Imperium, his faith in the Emperor, and the strength of his very soul.

A Fake Story

Gepost op 20 januari 2022 te 11:27.

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

Dik one-shot van Jean-Denis Pendanx (Jeronimus, Labyrinten, Svoboda!) en Laurent Galandon (Babylone, De Wilde Vlucht, De Advocaat) naar een roman over waargebeurde feiten.

“Op 30 oktober 1938 zendt Orson Welles op CBS The War of the Worlds van H.G. Wells uit. De toneelmaker bewerkt de roman tot nieuwsflitsen en maakt het stuk adembenemend reëel. ‘Paniek breekt uit! Een valse oorlog jaagt het hele land angst aan’ titelen de kranten de volgende dag. In het verhaal van Laurent Galandon doodt een man zijn vrouw, voor hij ook zijn zoon neerschiet, om ’te ontsnappen aan de slachting door Marsbewoners’. Een gevierde, voormalige journalist, Douglas Burroughs, trekt op onderzoek. Hij schrijft er een boek over.”

In de tempel van een oude beschaving ontdekken ze iets belangrijks wat hun kennis over het hele universum weleens op zijn kop zou kunnen zetten…”

Ellis Island 2: De Amerikaanse Droom

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

Slot van het tweeluik over het befaamde New Yorkse eiland waar migranten zich moesten aanmelden om de VS binnen te mogen. IJzersterk drama met een maffia-intrige.

“Wat doe je als je bent overgeleverd aan de genade van een onmenselijke administratie?

Wat doe je als een heel dorp op je rekent en zijn hoop in je heeft gesteld om geld te verdienen dat je zal opsturen?

Wat doe je als de vrouw van wie je zoveel houdt, wil laten overkomen?

Wat doe je als de enige persoon die jou hulp biedt een louche, gewetenloze advocaat is?

Wat doe je als je verplicht bent om te overleven je verplicht bent om te doden?

Wat doe je…?”

Genestealer Cults: Aberrants

Gepost op 19 januari 2022 te 10:34.

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

Misshapen, lumpen and inhumanly strong, the Aberrants are the repugnant offshoots of the brood cycle. Though dim-witted, their instinctive need to defend their broodkin makes them valuable assets to the cult. With heavy industrial tools raised, they cause impressive carnage with only their brute force and single-minded determination.

Aberrants form terrifying packs of warriors that excel in delivering huge amounts of damage in close combat. Their heavy melee weapons are used to bludgeon their enemies into submission, and if those don’t do the job, their rending claws add a lethal coup de grace. Combined with their ability to shrug off much of the damage dealt to them, this unit can dominate their enemies with ease.

This plastic box set contains 41 components, enough to build 5 Aberrants with a choice of power picks or power hammers. Also included are options to build a Hypermorph armed with a power hammer or heavy improvised weapon, and 11 different heads. This set has been designed to offer a high degree of interchangeability between parts. Supplied with 5x 32mm round bases.

Genestealer Cults: Locus

Gepost op 19 januari 2022 te 10:31.

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

Stoic and inhumanly patient, the Locus can go from sombre stillness to a blur of motion in an eye-blink. This sudden eruption of violence is as startling as it is deadly. Like a Lictor jumping from the shadows, the Locus makes a lightning-fast decapitating strike, their twin sabres flashing through the fog of battle to take the head of their foe.

If you want to keep your Genestealer Cults leaders safe, you want a Locus. This unit is the ultimate bodyguard, capable of intercepting wounds and striking down enemies before they’ve even had the chance to get at your Patriarch, Magus, Primus, or champion of choice!

This kit lets you build a Locus with a choice of four different heads – one with a hood down, one with a hood up, and two unhooded. These are great for personalising your models, while the spares are compatible with a host of other Genestealer Cults models.

This kit is supplied in 11 plastic components and contains a 32mm round base.

Codex: Genestealer Cults

Gepost op 15 januari 2022 te 14:00.

Geschreven door Nelly Chiese

The Genestealer Cults erupt from the shadows in a tide of mutated acolytes, turncoat soldiery and predatory xenos monsters. They employ ambush and subterfuge to outmanoeuvre their enemies, turning industrial mining equipment and repurposed civilian vehicles into potent weapons of rebellion against the hated Imperial oppressors. Propaganda, mind control and assassination are all weapons in their arsenal. Irredeemably corrupted by Tyranid gene-taint, the cults fight with the coordination of swarming insects and the zealotry of true believers, convinced that they are freedom fighters whose heroic efforts will earn them divine rewards. In truth, they are agents of destabilisation and anarchy – living weapons seeded behind enemy lines to spread, multiply and undermine Humanity’s fight against the encroaching Tyranid hive fleets. As the Genestealer Cults raise their wyrm-form icons above the blazing skylines of ever more Imperial planets, it becomes apparent that this ghastly plan is working all too well…

This glorious book contains pages of background and rules for the Genestealer Cults – the insurgent vanguard of the Tyranid Hive fleets. Learn all about the lifecycle of a cult, and how they worm their way into Imperial society, sowing discontent and leading rebelious uprisings in order to soften the planet’s defences for the arrival of the Great Devourer.

Inside this 112-page hardback book, you’ll find:

– In-depth background and lore on the Genestealer Cults, how they take over planets and prepare them for the Great Devourer, plus their infestation of Chalnath.
– Rousing artwork that will inspire your cults to acts of exemplary sedition
– All the rules you need to play your Genestealer Cults army, including 22 datasheets covering every unit from the Reductus Saboteur to the lowly Acoylte and venerated Patriarch
– A full suite of rules for playing Crusade and narrative games, including Agendas, Battle Traits, Requisitions, Crusade Relics, plus rules for following the Path to Ascension, letting you foster your very own Cult uprising
– An ‘Eavy Metal miniatures showcase full of lovingly painted Genestealer Cults miniatures.

Plus, ensure your traps go off without a hitch with a token sheet for use in games of Warhammer 40,000 that comes with 21 ambush tokens and a 9″ range rule.
