New Games Workshop Releases – Available 8/30 at The Hidden Lair

Death stirs in the Mortal Realms once more. On August 30th, a chilling wind will sweep through The Hidden Lair as two of Age of Sigmar’s most sinister factions return with updated battletomes, deadly new heroes, and streamlined Spearhead sets. Whether your allegiance lies with the restless dead of the Nighthaunt or the delusional, flesh-devouring courts of the Flesh-Eater Courts, this release is packed with opportunities to grow your army, learn new rules, and dive deeper into the lore.

Spearhead Sets – The Perfect Entry or Expansion

If you’re new to Warhammer or looking to add a compact, playable force to your collection, Spearhead boxes are the ultimate way to start. Each one includes a thematic army, quick-start Spearhead rules, and models that can easily expand into full-sized games.

Spearhead: Cursed Shacklehorde (Nighthaunt)
The restless souls of the Cursed Shacklehorde glide across the battlefield, chaining the living to their doom. This set blends speed and spectral terror, with elite Bladegheist Revenants, Dreadscythe Harridans, and the eerie Dreadblade Harrows, all led by a Spirit Torment with his Chainghast attendants. Perfect for hit-and-run tactics and psychological warfare.

Spearhead: Charnel Watch (Flesh-Eater Courts)
Behind the ragged banners of the Charnel Watch stand warriors who see themselves as noble knights—but to the rest of the Mortal Realms, they are ravenous, blood-stained horrors. This set features bestial infantry, terrifying monstrous creatures, and leaders steeped in the court’s grim delusions. Ideal for aggressive, up-close playstyles that overwhelm the enemy before they can respond.

New Battletomes – Rules, Lore, and Art

The Battletome: Nighthaunt and Battletome: Flesh-Eater Courts (both in English & French) are fully updated for the current edition, offering new warscrolls, allegiance abilities, and lore.

What’s New:

• Updated warscrolls for all units, ensuring your army stays competitive.

• Thematic battle traits that deepen the unique playstyles of each faction.

• Expanded lore that gives fresh perspective on the cursed legions of Death.

• Stunning artwork perfect for collectors and hobby inspiration.

Warscroll Cards – Streamlined Play

Available in English & French for both factions, these cards let you keep key rules at your fingertips. No more flipping through your battletome mid-game—these are a must-have for faster, smoother play.

New Heroes & Elite Units

• Lord Vitriolic (Nighthaunt)
  A vengeful alchemist-spirit, hurling ghostly concoctions to corrode enemy defenses and strip away their protections. His dynamic pose and flowing robes make him a standout on the table and in any painter’s display case.

• High Falconer Felgryn (Flesh-Eater Courts)
  A master of hunting birds (or carrion feeders, depending on whose eyes you see him through). This model brings avian flair to the army, with rules that enhance battlefield control.

• The Scarlet Jury (Flesh-Eater Courts)
  A cadre of elite warriors, their poses and ornate armor telling the tragic story of noble knights long fallen into madness.

Faction Dice – Play in Style

• Age of Sigmar: Nighthaunt Dice – Translucent, ghostly green with thematic iconography.

• Age of Sigmar: Flesh-Eater Courts Dice – Dark, blood-hued cubes worthy of any ghoul king’s court.

These are more than just gaming accessories—they’re limited thematic items that enhance immersion and look great in your collection.

For the Lore Enthusiasts

The release also includes Warhammer: The Legend of Sigmar (Paperback)—a rich dive into the mythology of the Mortal Realms, tracing the heroic origins and rise of the God-King Sigmar himself. An excellent read to connect your tabletop battles with the larger saga.
