Games Workshop Celebrate 500 Stores With Two Special Miniatures
October 10, 2018 by brennon
Games Workshop is celebrating the opening of 500 stores around the world with two fantastic miniatures which will be released on 20th October.
The first of the models is Garkorr, Bladegheist Revenant. Whilst the name has a ring of the male about it the sculptor behind this particular piece envisioned the Revenant as a 'her', one of the servants of Lady Olynder in the ranks of Nagash's army.
Some nice points of the model that stood out to me was the drifting spectral aspect of her floating through the gravestone and the rather intricate mask that she wears.
The second of the models that will be available on the day from stores is this Primaris Lieutenant With Stalker Bolt Rifle.
He was purposefully designed so that he would fit into all manner of different Chapters so you could customise him to fit your collection. As well as showing off the fierce and heroic side of the Adeptus Astartes the sculptor also chose this moment to show just how the new Primaris helmets work!
It's a little thing but it's great to see the way the helmet comes apart in two sections when needed so you can still keep your rebreather and comms unit going just without the visor and domed top.
If you'd like to hear more about how they created these models the two sculptors did a little interview with Games Workshop.
I think of the two I'd rather pick up the Bladegheist Revenant but let me know your thoughts in the comments below...
Which would you pick?

once a space marine, always a space marine. long live the emperor!!!!!!!
I have already booked in attendance at my “local” Warhammer store (200km away). I am definately getting AoS one and maybe the 40k one…. if it doesn’t breach the conditions of my oath* … I have to do some running totals. * I took “squat oath” in 2001 along with 10 others (since expanded to 14 ) that we will not spend more than $100 on 40k minis ubtil the squats or even the demiurge are returned as/ made into a playable army…… To my knowledge none of us have yet broken this oath. (To be fair we are all… Read more »
I like the sculpts but the choice of mini seems odd (rank and file, and a character than already has a tonne of different minis). I won’t be grabbing these because of this.
The minis look nice but yeah not big on either especially given the teaser for these was Centurius not saying I expected a re-release but still you don’t get much more unique than him
Man I want these but my nearest GW is like a two and half to three hour drive.
I feel your pain
The game store where I teach classes just became a bunker store! I get my choice of a lot of goodies each class, so may start collecting a few undead, and some Tau singles for the alien race in my Traveller game. Woo hoo!
Two brilliant figure’s the Marine would be my choice.
Both do look good but to me that Nighthaunt is more interesting of those two models. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate Primaris line but there already is enough of those that that new one doesn’t seem special at all.
You mean they’re celebrating with one cool model and a Space Marine
That “rather intricate mask” will need a head swap, something more skull-ish IMO, but I like the other features. I can picture it drifting around a Garden of Morr… or less.
I guess I missed it as its the 21st as of typing this.
