Vampires & Skaven Clash & Three Hunters Are Abroad In Middle-earth!
January 7, 2019 by brennon
Things aren't just hotting up for those getting stuck into their Warhammer 40,000 from Games Workshop. Age Of Sigmar is getting a new boxed game to bring people into the fold, Carron Empires!
This new set looks to pit the monstrous Vampires of the Flesh-eater Court against the scurrying machinations of the Skaven. The set comes with plenty of contraptions, monsters and foul fiends which could make the basis of a new army.
The big addition to the box, however, is the inclusion of two new character models which you can use to lead your force. On the one side, you have the Arch Regent who is looking resplendent in all of his winged glory, drawing very much on the Strigoi from folklore and of course the Old World.
He is then matched by a crazy looking Skaven Warlock Engineer who is no doubt going to do as much damage to himself as he is his enemies if I know rats...
A few people have already been saying that the new Warlock looks like he could be touting a guitar to go head-to-head with the Noise Marine we saw just after Christmas. Both are looking miniatures I think you'll agree.
I do worry for the Flesh-eater Court player however with that box. Whilst they have plenty of monsters in the mix the Skaven player is able to draw on some fairly heavy duty kit there!
Gloomspite Gitz Pre-Orders
If you've been hiding under a rock recently then you won't have known that the Gloomspite Gitz are out and about with pre-orders now open for their range.
You can check out all that they have to offer in more detail HERE.
The Three Hunters!
Middle-earth is still seeing itself bloom under Games Workshop right now and new miniatures are on the way to support the focus at the moment on Gondor At War.
This new book will give you plenty of scenarios, rules and more for fighting out the battles that are facing the beleaguered defenders of the White City and Osgiliath. You'll also find rules for new characters and thematic armies too, giving you plenty of options for making a force worthy to face Sauron...or maybe support him.
Some of the new miniatures include these Three Hunters, fresh off the boat at Harlond.
Three of the mightiest members of the Fellowship heading to the tabletop to do battle? I think I'll take a set of these, please! The miniatures are looking good once more despite the strange paint jobs for the face of Legolas. He looks more like an anime character than he does the Prince of Mirkwood. However, after seeing the work others have done on the new plastic miniatures and such I have faith these are going to rock.
I mean, how could I say no to that Gimli!
Are you tempted by some of the new Fantasy offerings from Games Workshop?

Looking forward to the LOrd of the Rings stuff .. still one of the best games ever made
Those are very nice and to me highlight from those are Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli.
That Carrion Empire video is great and both character models are great.
Cool minis for the skaven and ghouls, not as cool as the grots obviously.
Really nice to see the LOTR love, may need to grab these, that Gimli is outstanding. Paint job on the faces doesn’t seem to be doing them many favours though
Hoping there’ll be a lot of cheap ghouls heading to eBay soon 🙂
The Skaven had me interested, until I saw it was Skryre specific – still cool models, but I don’t have a need for many of them. Let Skaven be Skaven I say, and give us a genuine Verminus list please! Hopefully the hinted at army book will cover all things Skaven… Fingers crossed…
Really cool for them to start making boxes for older factions like FEC and Skaven. Hopefully it means refreshed FEC book and Skryre battletome! The lightning rats certainly deserve one of their own.
