Warhammer 40K: New Space Marine Battleforces Announced

Praise the Emperor! The Salamanders, White Scars, Iron Hands, and Ultramarines are set to receive reinforcements...

Remember before the holiday season Games Workshop revealed a new series of 40K Battleforces? Well, for those who felt a bit betrayed by the distinct lack of Astartes love can now feel the Emperor's warm embrace. 

To help keep the forces of Chaos at bay, Games Workshop have announced another four Battleforces box sets. The Iron Hands, White Scars, Salamanders, and Ultramarines are the lucky recipients of these Battleforces, and you can check them out below! 

Iron Hands Battleforce - March of the Iron Strike Force

Iron Father Feirros
Primaris Techmarine
10 Intercessors
2 Redemptor Dreadnoughts

“Both Characters can make battlefield repairs on the Dreadnoughts, with Feirros restoring 3 wounds every turn, so it’ll take some serious firepower to bring them down. Just add a few Gladiator tanks and you’ll prove that the flesh is weak and the machine is strong.”

Salamanders Battleforce - Warforged Strike Force

Adrax Agatone
20 Intercessors
3 Eradicators
3 Aggressors

“The Warforged Strike Force is as Salamanders as they come, and provides you with all the sturdy CORE Infantry you need to make good use of the chapter’s new secondary objective. Salamanders look striking on the battlefield and are an excellent opportunity to practise your flame details, which are sure to stand out in the next Armies on Parade award show. A Bladeguard Veteran bodyguard for Adrax and an Impulsor to ride in won’t go amiss, either if you’re looking to expand your force.”

White Scars Battleforce - Storm of Chogoris

Kor’sarro Khan
Primaris Chapain on Bike
6 Primaris Outriders
2 Invader ATVs

“Except Kor’sarro Khan – who’s taken a break from the saddle to get a keener eye over the battlefield. With the bulk of your fast-movers seen to, a few squads of Assault Intercessors and a couple of Stormhawk Interceptors are all you need to round out a characterful White Scars army.”

Ultramarines Battleforce - Scions of Macragge

Marneus Calgar w 2 Victrix Guard
Chief Librarian Tigurius
10 Intercessors
10 Hellblasters
3 Bladeguard Veterans

“With every base covered, you can take this starting force in any direction you desire. Double down on the plasma barrage with some Primaris Inceptors, then bring the might of Roboute Guilliman, the Avenging Son, onto the battlefield."


While no concrete release date has been set, expect these to drop early in the new year.

Crafting the Apocalypse with Kek-W

Rob takes a trip to Deadworld with 2000 AD writer Kek-W… ‘ The Fall of Deadworld: Redemption ’ made its return to the 2000 AD Prog this week. While the battle for Sector 13 and the wider city rumbles on, I spoke to curator of chaos, Kek-W about Deadworld past, and more importantly, its future. Looking back, what first attracted you to writing what’s essentially the Dark Judges origin  story? KW - Well, the first four DREAMS OF DEADWORLD stories that Dave and I did were well received,  so rather than just doing more of the same - stories that showcased the individual Dark Judges - I pitched the idea of telling the back-story of how the four of them destroyed an entire world. How did that happen, how might it work? I figured it was a landscape ripe with dramatic story-telling potential. 'Ripe' being the operative word! (laughs) I also thought it might be interesting to focus in on a ordinary family, to see and experience the collapse of civilization  from their point of view and

Comic Book Review - The Best of 2000 AD Vol. 3

Rob reviews The Best of 2000 AD Vol.3… The ‘Ultimate Mix-Tape’ of 2000 AD’s greatest hits is back for its third volume. Packed with an array of specially curated strips,  The Best of 2000 AD series does its very best in introducing you to the world of Tharg, and his Thrillverse. Much like its predecessors, this volume offers up an enticing mixture of strips and feature that draw across all corners of the wider 2000 AD mythos. While we do get a couple of standard trips to Mega-City 1 with Judge Dredd, series Editor Owen Johnson shows us the anthologies more “Tales of the Unexplained” side as things get a little bizarre.  Personally, this third volume has been my favourite out of the series so far. Not only does it feature a Judge Dredd written by Michael Carroll, we also have the debut of Ian Edginton  and D’Israeli. While you’d think that Johnson would of opted to include the duo’s phenomenal Scarlet Traces, he’s instead swapped the Earth/Mars war for the Atlantic Ocean, as we get a mu
