Warhammer 40,000 Bitz Packs
Warhammer 40,000 Bitz packs are designed to allow you to model and convert your Citadel miniature collection. Alongside the recently released Bastion Upgrade and Cities of Death Floor Packs, we've selected a couple of Bitz packs that will give your units an extra edge in Planetstrike. If there's nothing below for your army or current modelling project, you can browse the full range of Warhammer 40,000 Bitz packs here.
Bastion Upgrade Pack Packed with weapons, sensors and armour plates, this set can be used to convert your Bastion or ready your other Warhammer 40,000 scenery pieces for games of Planetstrike.
Cities of Death Floor Pack Add some extra floor space to your Warhammer 40,000 buildings with this set that contains a mix of large and small floor sections.
Meltaguns Fewer weapons are better at dealing with armoured units and vehicles than meltaguns. This makes them incredibly useful in games of Planetstrike where you'll be faced with Armour 14 Bastions and scores of battle tanks.
Imperial Guard Tank Accessories Personalise your Imperial tanks and super-heavies with this set of accessories that is equally useful for Ork and Chaos players who want to assemble looted vehicles.
Tyranid Monstrous Arms An extra set of rending claws can come in handy when tearing down an enemy Bastion. Upgrade your Tyranid army to deal with anything the enemy can throw at them with this weapons frame.
Tau Shield Drone Shield Drones have a 4+ Invulnerable Save and are an ideal way of making sure your Crisis Battle Suit and Broadside Battle Suit teams survive long enough to blast the enemy off the table.

Warhammer Bitz & Collectors
Below you'll find the most recently released Warhammer Bitz & Collectors models. There's a wide range of Warhammer Bitz & Collectors models available and it's worth spending some time browsing the range – you're sure to find an interesting model or great conversion piece that you never knew existed.
The Chase Warhammer has but one rule: eat or be eaten. Ponder this truism, comically summed up by this characterful vignette, or simply enjoy the absurdness of the Night Goblin's plight.
Animosity Orcs Orcs are born and bred fighters, and they're not overly fussed whether they're fighting the enemy or each other! This set is perfect for denoting your Orc & Goblin units that have failed their Animosity test.
Orc Shields Personalise your Orc characters and regiments, or mark a unit out as Big 'Uns with this set of 10 metal Orc Shields.
Incoming! Space Wolves
The Space Wolves were one of the first Space Marine Chapters founded by the Emperor; fierce and barbaric heroes of legend who charge fangs bared into the teeth of the enemy. In October, this Chapter of ferocious warriors is being re-launched with a brand-new Codex and range of Citadel Miniatures.
As a newsletter subscriber, we thought you should be among the first to catch a glimpse of the all-new Space Wolves.
Space Wolf Grey Hunter
This stunning Grey Hunter has been assembled using the forthcoming multi-part plastic box set; just one of the fantastic new Space Wolf sets coming in October!
Make sure you check out tomorrow's blog and the August issue of White Dwarf for more on the Space Wolves.
Picture says a thousand words:
So new plastic Space Wolves on the way in October!
The cover for Legend of the Space Marines is up on BL.
Ден Абнетт о новой книге о СВ
So, now, as the temperature pushes into the thirties, the cats are flaked out like discarded draught-excluders wishing their fur coats were un-zippable, and Roddick and Federer fight it out to the bitter end, I’m girding my loins for the next big project. Yes, folks, it’s Prospero Burns (Mongomery’s less-well known brother).
Stop me if you’ve heard this, but, originally, I was going to tackle the Thousand Sons side of the deal, and Graham was going to handle the Space Wolves. The reason for this - and I really do understand that the following revelation is such a heretical statement that Eisenhorn might have to come and shoot me through the lungs - is that I don’t really like Space Wolves.
All right. Stop yelling. Stop it. Stop. I KNOW, okay? I know. Let me explain. I think the Space Wolves are great. They are a great, vivid, visceral element of 40K, great to play, great to collect. But for use in fiction they are, to me, too on the nose. They too obviously resemble the source of their inspiration. Think of it this way: I could write a novel about a chapter of space marines, who originated on a tough, unforgiving world of high plains and grassy savannahs. The chief way of life was as drovers, driving the million-animal herds of gigantic, and often very dangerous, grox across continents. This work bred men who were tough, weather-beaten and wily, relentless, dogmatic, reflective, but mercurially fast. They evolved quick wits and cunning, and quick reflexes, but they could also sit in the saddle for days, biding their time. They were almost empathically connected to their loyal steeds. They knew how to chase, hunt, defend the herd, bring down a big bull. And the very toughest and most promising of these drovers were selected by the mysterious warriors, who lived in their isolated fort on the isolated mountain, to be inducted into their ancient order of space marines.
Sounds pretty reasonable, doesn’t it? Sounds like a decent basis for a chapter, right?
Now what if I said the chapter was called the Six Shooters? And that their armour design included chaps, a bandana and a ten gallon hat? Oh, and spurs? And they were famous for their trademark ‘two-bolt-gun’ holsters?
You see what I mean?
The inspiration is fine. The Thousand Sons are Aztecs. The Blood Angels are goth vampires. The Imperial Fists are Romans. The White Scars are a mongol horde. The Iron Hands are robots. The Ultramarines (and, hell yeah, the Iron Snakes) are Greeks. The fact is that all of them have taken the point of inspiration and run with it. They’ve put the background idea through some kind of creative filter to make it both richer and less obvious. But the Space Wolves are exactly what they appear to be, with no filter and no remove, which makes them giant fun on the gaming table, and a giant pain in the arse in a novel.
So anyway... I finally suggested to Graham that I should take the Space Wolves, because it would force me to find a way into them. I’ve already seen the work he’s doing on the Sons, and, oh my god, it’s mouth-watering. His book, which will be called A Thousands Sons (one of those instances where the legion name is so good, you don’t need to invent a better book title), is going to be packed with great ideas. We’re knocking stuff back and forth, and a momentum is building. For my part, I’m filling my workspace with all things Norse and Viking, and Icelandic and barbarian. You wouldn’t believe the sources I’m going to. I want the Space Wolves to be ABSOLUTELY the Space Wolves all of you out there love, AND YET something you’re not expecting; something that’s gone through a filter; something that makes you all go “Christ in a longboat! I have never thought of them like that!”
Tomorrow, I may buy a bearded axe. If not tomorrow, then sometime this week. I kid you not. Sometimes, physically handling a key prop is the best way to unlock an idea. And I’ve already checked that the Rochester Armoury (that fine institution that, long time readers may remember, sold me a pilum on Good Friday), has something Danish and two-handed in my size.
More on the subject of axes and space vikings in coming weeks, I’m sure.
P.S. Огромное спасибо Кор Канту, что запостил)) Все кто не может залогиниться - чистите кукис. Помогает. Так же ждите подробностей по Планетстрайку)) Он идет))
