Games Workshop has been showing off what's coming next after Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition and Indomitus launches. The Necrons and Space Marines are going to get some serious reinforcements in the form of four different characters.

Leading the way we have the imposing and dominating form of Szarekh, the last of The Silent Kings. He comes atop a mighty throne which is appropriate to his majesty and I am sure that he is going to be a fearsome foe to try and battle on the tabletop. Shards of some once-powerful being have been harnessed by the might of the Necrons for their own whims.

Next up, we have another imposing figure from the Necron army, the C'tan Shard Of The Void Dragon. This is another mysterious artefact from the depths of Necron lore which is being summoned back into life for use in the battles ahead.

The Void Dragon has always been a fascinating part of the Necron lore. Also known as Mag'ladroth, there are also links to the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Machine God that the Imperium venerates so highly. I don't think that people would be overly happy if it turned out they'd been worshipping this the whole time!

As well as the Necrons getting a pair of characters to lead the way, the Primaris Space Marines also got some powerful battlefield commanders. The first of these is the Primaris Chaplain On Bike.

This fellow is a little bit of a call back to a Chaplain of old although I think the upgrade here is pretty awesome. I have always liked Chaplains and if I could run an entire army of them, I think I would. I also really like the fact that he has strapped his tome of knowledge and litanies to the front of his bike, a sure-fire way to ensure that The Emperor will protect him as he charges into battle.

If you'd prefer to honour the Machine Spirit instead then you can also check out this Primaris Techmarine who has also seen an upgrade or two. I always like seeing these kinds of characters as they help to theme a force and give it some character.

Now you just need to decide what you want to do when it comes to building up your next Warhammer 40,000 army. Do you want to go for an existing Chapter or Kingdom within the Necron sphere? Maybe you have thoughts on making your own unique force?
