Tuesday Launches — Thunder & darkness
Dozer and Smigg have arrived with cannons roaring and absolutely no intention of keeping things quiet, while Harasheth and his followers are creeping ever closer. One brings the thunder. The other brings the darkness.
Let’s get into it.
Dozer & Smigg — Bring the thunder
Somewhere along the way, someone decided that putting a howitzer on the back of a dire troll was a perfectly sensible idea.
They were right.
Dozer and Smigg are now available to pre-order, bringing a truly enormous gun to the Southern Kriels Kithguard army. This super-heavy warbeast combines Dozer’s savage strength with Smigg’s “questionable accuracy”, with the howitzer strapped directly to Dozer’s back.
Of course, getting the gun onto Dozer was the easy part. Teaching him not to panic every time it fired was considerably more difficult. Early attempts involved enraged dire troll rampages, unfortunate Pyg gunners clinging on for life and limb, and the discovery that being strapped to an angry artillery piece with legs is not a particularly safe occupation.
Smigg somehow survived.
The pair have since developed an unlikely bond, with Dozer learning to love the thunder of his cannon and Smigg earning himself a permanent seat, plenty of armour and the dubious privilege of being the troll’s favourite, and only, gunner.
Working alongside the Kithguard, the pair bring devastating ranged firepower to the battlefield, with Smigg ranging targets for the guns while Dozer acts as a stalwart and rather aggressive weapons platform.
A living artillery piece, a super-heavy warbeast and quite possibly the least sensible gun crew in Immoren.
What’s not to love?
Dozer & Smigg are ready to be recruited to your Kithguard army and check out their rules revealed here, to work out how you can fit even more troll into your kithguard lists.
The Gathering Darkness —The shadows are almost here
The darkness is gathering, and the next Fane of Nyrro reinforcements releases next week, September 29.
Harasheth and his followers are ready to descend upon the battlefield, bringing the Fane of Nyrro’s ancient eldritch horrors to life in a force built around attrition, dark magic and the rather unsettling idea that death is just another resource.
Harasheth feeds on the essence of friend and foe alike, dragging fallen warriors back into his service and turning every casualty into another opportunity to keep the pressure on. If you want to see exactly how that plays out on the tabletop, check out our preview of Harasheth and his forces.
Built for both Command and Skirmish games, The Gathering Darkness gives you a complete force to start exploring Harasheth’s brutal playstyle, while existing Fane of Nyrro players can add even more horrors to their collection.
The shadows won’t be waiting much longer.
Pre-order The Gathering Darkness now and make sure Harasheth’s forces are ready to emerge when the box releases next week.
