Attention, Warhammer fans! We've got an exciting journey ahead as we delve into the treacherous realm of the Maelstrom. A chaotic vortex awaits, where one of the most feared Chaos Lords, Huron Blackheart, resides.
The Maelstrom, a chaotic maelstrom of stellar storms and Warp rifts, is a dangerous playground for Huron Blackheart and his Red Corsairs. They're about to unleash another devastating raid on Imperial space, but they're not alone in this cursed region. Prince Yriel's Eldritch Raiders are also on the prowl, each with their own agenda.
Get ready for an epic narrative expansion with the upcoming release of "The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant." This collection, presented in a decorative slipcase, includes a series of books that delve into new rules and background lore. From the story of Huron's latest raid to the creation of your own custom Warhammer 40,000 characters, there's something for every enthusiast.
But here's where it gets controversial... Huron Blackheart, the mighty lord of the Red Corsairs, is not content with commanding from afar. He's stepping onto the battlefield with a brand new miniature, accompanied by an exceptional command squad. This multi-part plastic set offers a unique Leader unit for those seeking a piratical edge on the battlefield.
And this is the part most people miss... the Maelstrom is not just a haven for Chaos forces. The Eldritch Raiders, led by the legendary Prince Yriel, pose an ever-present threat. With their new miniature and raiding force, including the graceful Void Dreamer Kharseth and the versatile Starfang, they're a force to be reckoned with.
For those seeking a more luxurious experience, the Collector's Edition is a treasure trove. With alternate cover art, red foil details, and matching red gilt page edges, it's a collector's dream. Each book even has a red ribbon page marker, adding a touch of elegance to your collection.
But wait, there's more! The Battleforce boxes offer an expansive set of new units for both the Red Corsairs and the Eldritch Raiders. From elite infantry to new multi-part captains, these sets will enhance your armies and provide endless possibilities for customization.
And for those who prefer a more thematic approach, the Maelstrom Battalion boxes for the Drukhari and Leagues of Votann offer a curated selection of units perfect for piratical raids. Whether you're starting a new army or expanding your existing force, these battalions provide a unique and cohesive experience.
But what about keeping warm while exploring the vastness of space? The Map of the Imperium Knitted Blanket is here to save the day! Measuring 160cm x 102cm, it's large enough to wrap around any adult (Space Marines might need a little extra room). With both the Imperium Sanctus and Imperium Nihilus marked, it's a cozy reminder of the galaxy's dangers.
For those who enjoy a good read, we've got some exciting novel releases. "Ghost Legion" by Mike Brooks continues the trials of the Alpha Legion, while "Death Rider" by Rhuairidh James follows Commissar Hesh's desperate attempt to prevent a suicidal assault. And for fans of the Necrons, "The Twice-Dead King Omnibus" by Nate Crowley offers a deep dive into their majestic world, available in French and German editions.
Lastly, "Voidscarred" by Mike Brooks takes us on a journey with Baron Myrin Stormdawn and his Starsplinters. As their conflict with Uzgul da Magnificent escalates, they're forced into an unlikely alliance. This French and German release is a must-read for Aeldari Corsair enthusiasts.
