Games Workshop puts a nun in a Gundam and other announcements from the weekend stream

Games Workshop once again had a great streaming presentation on Saturday announcing a whole range of new miniatures and two new games for 2021. The highlight of the presentation was a new model depicting a mechanized Sister of the Battle, further confirming the Adepta Sororitas as a premiere fighting force in the 41st millennium.

The new model is called the Paragon Warsuit and easily stands on the table twice as long as a standard Sister of Battle. It comes with a nearby weapon and the option to mount one of three weapons, including a flame or a Melta weapon. It’s not yet clear how these new units will battle on the table or even what size or cost a formation will have, but it’s easily one of the more ambitious and striking models released for Warhammer 40,000 in recent years.

The announcement was also accompanied by some beautifully branded animations.

The British company is also expanding the popular Kill Team range with a new box set. Titled Death Team: Pariah Nexus, it is in line with the latest Warhammer 40,000 Indomitus box set released last year. It contains Space Marines and Necrons that spit it out over a fairly two-dimensional board that looks like the inside of a Necron spaceship. It is far from the large multi-level buildings that were filled in 2018 with the original Kill Team box set.

Remarkable for slow painters like me, rules for playing Kill Team with the models compiled in the bundle are coming soon Indomitus set. This means you can use the Assault Intercessors team, even if you have not painted all the Bladeguard Veterans and Outriders yet.

In addition to several new books, there are also some lush new models for non-40K systems. It features a massive new Warmaster Titan for Adeptus Titanicus, the largest ever added to the game. Warhammer: Age of Sigmar also gets a lithe and energetic Sevireth, Lord of the Seventh Wind. But the real surprise is that Games Workshop will also be releasing a brand new game in the Warhammer Quest series.

Warhammer Quest has its origins in the nineties, where it was played from the classics HeroQuest line and a partnership with Milton Bradley. It recently emerged as Warhammer Quest: Fort of Blackstone, a hybrid of traditional board game and tactical war game. The $ 150 box set was followed by several extensions, so expect the same treatment for this new property, titled Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.

There will probably be dozens of models in the box set, but only two have been revealed: the vampire hunter Jelsen Darrock (probably one of the heroic characters) and a tomb keeper named Gorslav.

Finally, there’s a new set of Dark Angels Space Marines and a new Codex Add-on: Dark Angels to go with them, plus a heavier version of the classic Land Speeder to begin with. These models and more can be pre-ordered on January 30th.
