Halandaar

Absolutely crushed it. New Vyper is great, love that Yriel has the new style Corsair armour but still looks like himself, love the Skyreavers and I adore the callback to the RT era Farseer on Kharseth. 100% shut up and take my money.

Drazhar is one of his too

Ultimately, Warhammer World is just a bigger-than-usual retail store with more display cabinets, more gaming tables and on-site catering. Having another one on the other side of the Atlantic is not going to affect the operation of the company in any way.

Vampire Coast for Old World or riot.

I have two overarching hobby goals every year: Paint more models than I did the previous year Paint more models than I buy For point one, I failed by a slim margin (107 models painted in 2025 vs 113 in 2024). For point two, crushing failure, having increased my total model count by 491 . In terms of specifics in 2025, I really wanted to play a few Spearhead games with fully painted forces, and I did manage that with 3 new Spearheads finished (won't go into detail as obviously not board relevant). I also set myself the goal of painting the entire Space Wolves army set for the Call to Arms challenge, which I also managed (and the first time I've actually finished a Call to Arms vow in three years!) 2026's specific objectives, in no particular order, are: Paint all the minis from Warhammer Quest Darkwater, and play through the campaign Build the backlog of models I have sitting around from the various Hachette Partworks and add them to my collections Paint the remaining units from my 40k Eldar army Build and paint a 500pt Battle March army for The Old World Turn my pile of Heresy sprues into a couple of actual armies (building mandatory, painting optional for now)

Not sure why surprised when this is the MO of every end-of-edition campaign I can remember.

Assuming any given Imperial commander is even able to think outside their conditioning, propaganda and religious dogma to the point they'd consider an alliance of convenience with a Chaos-aligned force, they still have to contend with the reality that Chaos draws the eye of the Inquisition, and that isn't going to end any better for them than being shredded by shurikens. And this is assuming they can even get their forces to go along with them without getting assassinated; even in the War of the Beast example you've cited, a chunk of Zerberyn's marines turn against him and he only gets out of it by killing a Black Templar Marshall and pledging himself to Kalkator It simply isn't possible to do things like this on a "transactional" basis. In the Imperium, once you've allied with traitors, you are a traitor too.

Theres a few of these mixed-type all-character kits already; in AoS you've got Brand's Oathbound, The Blacktalons and The Saviors of Cinderfall, all of which are £49.50. In 40K there was also Hell's Last which was £47.50 at release, but I think was out of print before the price rises so might have ended up at £49.50 too. Probably use that as a starting point, but a ~£5 Space Marine tax wouldn't surprise me one bit. Edit: Welp, £57 based on the EUR price. Wasn't far out.

Sure, although attributable to a single captain who ended up killing human and Astartes allies and ultimately defected to the Iron Warriors and got his entire chapter disbanded as a result. It wasn't exactly a quick alliance of convenience.

IMO the Mutalith is actually the thing making the box interesting; it's not something that ever usually gets included in these sorts of boxes, and as a pricey standalone direct-only kit, any chance to get one at a discount is welcome. Rubrics on the other hand are readily and cheaply available by virtue of having been in pretty much every prior TS bundle.

Not convinced Emperor's Children needed another bundle box. Four in less than a year feels ridiculous, especially when there are so few kits in the range and they're all basically repeating each other.

They've done several over the years, including stuff like the Necron heavy constructs, but most relevant to this discussion they did one for Lugft Huron, Sevrin Loth, Regents of the Ordon Rift and the Land Speeder Tempest at the beginning of 2024.

Yeah, absolutely terrible that the new one looks like he might actually be able to flex it, instead of being stuck in a permanent high-five like the good old days.

Calgar's portrait is included in the "Campaign" view in the trailer, so he (and presumably other named characters) will be there. Maybe there's an option for each faction for a "build-your-own" legendary lord, a bit like the Daemon Prince in TW:W3, so you can make your own Chapter Master (or whatever) for your custom-painted army. That would allow that to make narrative sense while still allowing the majority of Legendary Lords to be established lore characters.

That is very much an "I'll believe it when I see it" situation for me. Edit - Dunno if just burned by prior experience here, but the confirmation of no Pre-Order DLC doesn't reassure me that Chaos will be included in the base game. If anything it makes me think they'll be held back as paid DLC.
