Sunday Preview – Bloodsuckers and Barrow Kingdoms
Warhammer Age of Sigmar
Battletome: Soulblight Gravelords
The vampiric aristocracy deputised by Nagash to aid in his conquest of the Mortal Realms return. Battletome: Soulblight Gravelords puts you in charge of the skeletal warriors of the ancient Barrow Kingdoms and the bloodsucking sovereigns who command them. This new book collects rules and warscrolls for the Soulblight Gravelords with background, Battle Traits, Battle Formations, Heroic Traits, Artefacts of Power, plus Spell and Manifestation Lores.
It contains rules for a new skeletal Spearhead, Regiments of Renown, and two Armies of Renown – one focused on the Barrow Kingdoms, the other on the vampires of the Crimson Keep. You can also weave your own dark magic to raise an undead champion with a new Anvil of Apotheosis and rules for Path to Glory.
Battletome: Soulblight Gravelords (Gamer’s Edition)
Get all that content in a more portable package with the Gamer’s Edition of Battletome: Soulblight Gravelords, featuring all of the same material in a smaller format. It comes with a full set of reference cards and will be available while stocks last.
Prince Vhordrai, Lord of the Crimson Keep
Both castellan and prisoner of the phantasmagorical Crimson Keep, Prince Vhordrai is a ruthless chevalier who commands an army of Blood Knights in a constant war against the living from his supernatural fastness that shifts around the Mortal Realms. Upon the back of the vile undead Draconith, Shordemaire, he terrorises battlefields with a combination of death magic and martial prowess.
This kit also builds a Revenant Draconith, creatures raised from death by supremely powerful necromancers. In battle they rule the skies, swooping from great heights to belch clouds of pestilential breath on their foes, before tearing them asunder with claws and teeth honed by the ages.
Blades of the Hollow King
Cado Ezechiar may be a vampire, but his single-minded quest for vengeance consumes him far more than the Soulblight Curse – though occasionally his mission brings him in line with the wider machinations of the vampire dynasties. He is joined by the vampiric assassin Sissendra and the necromancer Aurelias, the latter acting as the eyes and ears of the Mortarch Neferata. This unit can also be used as a Regiment of Renown with other Death armies whose objectives align with those of the Hollow King.
Vampire Lord on Nightmare Steed
Vampire Lords are some of the most fearsome combatants in the Mortal Realms. When riding at the forefront of a lance of Blood Knights, they scythe through enemy units in a frenzy of bloodletting. This miniature has options for two different horse heads, three different vampire heads, and a choice of axe or sword.
Wight King on Skeletal Steed
Those sovereigns who chose to pledge their lives to Nagash rather than let go of their vast domains became Wight Kings, ancient revenants whose might rivals that of the vampire dynasties. They command legions of undead warriors, often for the benefit of Vampire Lords who have the courage to parlay.
This kit builds either a Wight King on Skeletal Steed, or a lesser Wight Lord on Skeletal Steed.
Barrow Knights
Warriors who swore unbreakable oaths to their monarchs in eras past, the Barrow Knights are the personal bodyguards of the Wight Kings and Lords. They skewer their foes on ancient lances, and even if they are destroyed by their foes they are fated to rise again in order to fulfil their troth for all eternity. This kit builds five Barrow Knights with interchangeable shields and helmets, plus options for a champion, musician, and standard bearer.
Barrow Guard
The elite footsoldiers of the Barrow Kingdoms are champions, praetorians, royal bodyguards, and more besides. They retain memories of their servitude before death, alongside their memory of martial acuity, making them truly fearsome warriors. This kit contains 10 Barrow Guard that can be built with either shields and swords or two-handed glaives. There are 10 interchangeable heads, and options to build two champions, two banner bearers, and two musicians.
Deathrattle Skeletons
The might of the Barrow Kingdoms comes from their endless legions of Deathrattle Skeletons – undead warriors who march forward in lockstep, grinding their foes down in a battle of attrition, odds firmly in their favour as necromancers raise ever more dead to do their bidding. This updated kit contains 20 Deathrattle Skeletons which have been redesigned to be easier to build, with interchangeable blade, spear, and shield arms, and options to make two champions and two standard bearers. It also includes four cosmetic tombstones.
Soulblight Gravelords: Manifestations
This set of three Manifestations contains the Hand of Nagash, a colossal conjuration that chokes the life out of its foes, as well as an Unholy Reliquary, which acts as a conduit for necromantic power, and a Sanguine Swarm – flocks of bats to harry your foes.
Cursed Sepulchre
There are innumerable monuments to the dead across the Mortal Realms, and as foul energies coalesce they become wellsprings of necromantic power. These Cursed Sepulchres become nexus points for the Soulblight Gravelords – focuses for spellcasting and raising the dead.
This kit builds three Cursed Sepulchres, which feature numerous cosmetic options, and they can also be built as a Nexus of Grief, for Nighthaunt armies. There will be a free PDF with rules available on Warhammer Community next week.
Spearhead: Bloodcrave Hunt
When the pangs take a Vampire Lord, they ride out to slake their thirst with a coterie of Blood Knights, using Vargheists as bloodhounds and Deathrattle Skeletons as beaters. This is a repackage of the previous Spearhead, containing a Vampire Lord, three Varghiests, five Blood Knights, and 20 of the new Deathrattle Skeletons, along with four gravestone markers.
Soulblight Gravelords Dice
Bless your rolls with powerful death magic using this set of 16 Gloomspite Gitz dice. They are coloured black with red ink and feature the symbol of the Soulblight Gravelords on the six face.
Warhammer Underworlds
Knives of the Crone
The aelven goddess of prophecy is worshipped in secret by those disillusioned with the tyranny of Morathi. Led by the seer Kaema Vix, Krieta and Tazari slaughter foes to ensure the visions of Morai-Heg come to pass, while the arbalist Azphel picks off foes from a distance to protect his master. This Mastery warband follows the Rituals of Prophecy to empower their attacks, manipulate your deck, and improve your chances of weathering enemy attacks.
Realmstone Raiders Rivals Deck
Realmstone Raiders is a Mastery deck that lets you harness the power of Emberstone ploys to great effect, using the unique Raid ability after melee attacks to manipulate your Power deck, and maintain your deadly momentum in battle.
White Dwarf
White Dwarf 512
Mortarion graces the cover of White Dwarf 512, which comes with rules for a new Combat Patrol for the Death Guard, as well as full coverage on their forces, rules for battling over tainted battlefields, a gallery of Nurgle collections from around the studio, and hobby tips on how to paint rust and corrosion. What a bounty of corruption!
You can also read all about how the ’Eavy Metal team painted the new Soulblight Gravelord miniatures, take part in the third and final part of Flashpoint Gnashka, and witness Golden Demon winner Roman Lappat’s unique 3D Warhammer portraits. On top of that, there’s the first instalment of The Trials of Albarak, a five-part serial by James Brogden all about the Duardin, plus all the rest of the great articles you’re used to from White Dwarf.

Bei den untoten sind wirklich VIELE schöne minis dabei. die reizen sehr.
die preise werden’s mir wieder madig machen, aber dennoch: schön.
bei den Dunkelelfen hingegen.. was bitte ist denn da passiert?
und wie kann es sein, dass sowohl der designer, dessen chef der’s absegnet sowie die qualitätskontrolle allesamt DAS durchwinken?
müssen wohl mehrere flaschen alkohol rundgegangen sein.. 😉
Ich finde die eigentlich ganz schick. Aber noch stört, dass da jede Figur einen eigenen Stein mitschleppen muss. Eine sogar ne ganze Treppe. Das ist was für die Vitrine, nicht fürs Spielen. Macht GW schon länger, aber mich nervt das immer wieder.
Normalerweise sticht UW immer durch besonderes und oft auch besonders gelungenes Design hervor… Aber diesmal? Gerade im Kontrast zu den fantastischen Skeletten aber auch den Vampiren (da gefallen mir nicht alle) etwas arg langweilig und auch nicht wirklich gelungen.
Die neuen Untoten sind aber wirklich Klasse, nur zum bemalen wirken sie sehr aufwendig.
Die Untoten Figuren sind superschön als Bemalprojekt. Transportieren zum Spielen will ich die Figuren aber eher nicht mehr 😜
Der Zombiedrache (ich weigere mich die GW-Bezeichnung zu benutzen) kommt auf jeden Fall ins Haus und vielleicht noch der Vampir auf dem Pferd.
Ja, auch die nächste Welle an Modellen für die AoS Version der Vampirfürsten ist richtig stark. Echt schade, dass ich die nicht sammle – ich bin bei den AoS Untoten wohl einer der wenigen Ossiarch Bonereapers Fans – und genau aus diesem Grunde – Erfolglosigkeit – hat GW die Armee nach der ersten Releasewelle in der zweiten Edition wohl nicht mehr groß angepackt. Aber das betrifft bei AoS ja nicht nur die OB…
So unterschiedlich sind die Geschmäcker…
Mir gefallen die „Knifes of the Crone“ wirklich gut, und sind ein interessanter Schritt hin zu einer Unterfraktion innerhalb der Daugthers of Khaine. Das augenscheinlichste Unterscheidungsmerkmal zu Morathis Anhängern sind wohl die Federn an der Kleidung. Aber vielleicht haben sie auch eine etwas andere Einstellung zu den Männern in ihrer Gesellschaft, auch wenn diese im Gegensatz zu ihren weiblichen Mitstreitern auf Stiefel angewiesen sind um ihre verweichlichten, zarten Füsschen zu schützen. 😉
Die neuen Skelette sind schick, aber meiner Meinung nach viel zu geordnet. Das sind nicht mehr die aus diversen Gräbern geholten Bauern, sondern gleichförmig uniformierte Soldaten. Zum Drache gibt es allerdings nichts zu sagen, außer: Super!
Ich find die Knives auch super und die untoten einfach nur langweilig.
Ich mag das Gelände sehr. Das wird sich gut auf meiner Mordheim Platte machen 🙂
Der Drache ist super. Da könnte auch ein Ghoul drauf Platz nehmen.
Die Skelette wirken für mich zu groß. Als GW damals sie die Vorgänger rausgebracht haben sagten sie, das es so wäre als ob man einen normalen Bauernmodell die Haut abgezogen hat und nun das Skelett von der probortion passt. Leider fehlt mir dieser Ansatz bei den neuen Modellen.
Ist aber Geschmacksache.
Die Manifestationen und Gebäude sehen super aus.
Die sind sicherlich auch super für Pen & Paper geeignet und werden dafür sicherlich den Weg zu mir finden.
