Welcome to another Warhammer Bulletin, taking a look each week at what’s gone up for pre-order in the Warhammer universe. This week there is some definite purging happening, because the Sisters of Battle are on the warpath. They don’t have any easy targets however, as arrayed against them are the insidious Genestealer Cults. Who shall prevail? That’s up to you!

Chapter Approved: Pariah Nexus Mission Deck
Your one stop shop for quickly getting games started quickly, the Pariah Nexus mission deck. No more decision paralysis, just draw some cards to determine Deployment, Mission Rules, Primary and Secondary Objectives and new Secret Missions.
Pariah Nexus Mission Objectives
Constantly measuring to check what the range for controlling objectives is, lets face it, is a pain. Instead, why not add these high quality polyethylene objective markers, showing the objective and its scoring zone. They are flocked on the bottom to stop them moving around during games.
Adepta Sororitas
Codex
It’s time for the Adepta Sororitas to purge some unclean foes in their brand new Codex. It contains everything you might expect, lore, artwork, a gallery of miniatures and all the rules you need to play a Sororitas army. Those include 4 detachments, enhancements and stratagems, datasheets for all their units, rules for Combat Patrol and a Crusade section. This also comes in a Collector’s edition you can get directly from Games Workshop.
Battleforce: Army of Faith
Dying to get your hands on that new Canoness with Jump Pack and fancy some reinforcements for your army in the process? Why not pick up the Army of Faith. It features 15 jump-pack equipped Sisters of Battle, which can be built as Seraphim or Zephyrim, plus an Exorcist tank.
Combat Patrol
Combat Patrols as always, are a great way to start a new army or play the fast-paced Combat Patrol game mode. The new Sororitas box comes with a Canoness, 10 Battle Sisters, 10 Arco-Flagellants, and 5 Celestian Sacresants.
Ministorum Priest with Vindictor
This Priest has a serious taste for carving up xenos and cremating heretics, not satisfied with one method of killing, they went with both. The miniature was originally released with the Blackstone Fortress set and is not available separately.
Accessories
Datasheet cards - Always helpful during games to reference unit rules without leafing through the codex.
Dice - Sororitas dice will add that extra level of immersive feeling, and seal your commitment to purging xenos and heretics alike.
Genestealer Cults
Codex
Arrayed against the Sisters of Battle is the Genestealer menace. Infiltrators who delight in turning friends and allies against each other as their Tyranid masters close in. As with the Sororitas it contains everything you might expect, lore, artwork, a gallery of miniatures and all the rules you need to play a Genestealer army. Those include several detachments, enhancements and stratagems, datasheets for all their units, rules for
Combat Patrol and a Crusade section. This also comes in a Collector’s edition you can get directly from Games Workshop.
Battleforce: Biosanctic Broodsurge
The new Benefictus model is the scalpel in the Genestealers arsenal. Genestealer gifts are multitudinous and wonderful, and the Benefictus has an extremely powerful one. They can focus the will of the Broodmind into a psionic energy beam that can blow tanks apart. Definitely something that will come in handy. Your first chance to pick up this model comes in the form of the Biosanctic Broodsurge box set, which also includes 5 Aberrants alongside an Abominant, 2 Goliath Trucks/Rockgrinders, plus 10 Neophyte Hybrids and 10 Purestrain Genestealers.
Combat Patrol
Another excellent Combat Patrol box, this one coming with a variety of variations and vehicles. It includes a Jackal Alphus, Achilles Ridgerunner, five Atalan Jackals, and a unit of 10 Hybrid Metamorphs that use their speed to surround and overwhelm.
Accessories
Datasheet cards - Always helpful during games to reference unit rules without leafing through the codex.
Dice - Genestealer dice will add that extra level of immersive feeling, and seal your commitment to purging xenos and heretics alike.
Orks
Ork ‘technology’ is fascinating in that it mostly works through sheer belief that it works. Big Mek here is and it’s got all sorts of contraptions to put out more dakka with, no tin soldiers will be able to stand against it. This is the first time you can get this model outside of the battleforce box.
Adeptus Custodes
Personifying everything the Custodes stand for, the Shield-Captain is one of the most experienced and venerable warriors in all the Imperium. They excel at both commanding other Custodians and personal combat. This model will make a great figurehead for your Adeptus Custodes force.
White Dwarf
While nothing will quite be as exciting as issue 500 (at least not for another 100 issues) White Dwarf will always have plenty of interesting articles, rules, artwork, painted miniatures, and much much more. This month’s includes missions for Boarding Actions, quests and rules for the Ydrilan Riverblades, Pyregheists in Warcry, plus background info on Chaos Space Marines, and the cosmology of the Mortal Realms in the wake of the Vermindoom.
Black Library
While the Black Library hoards its knowledge carefully deep in the webway, they do occasionally let out some new books for our perusal. Here are a few this week:
● Siege of Vraks (Hardback, ebook, audiobook and special edition)
● The Rose in Darkness (Paperback)
