Games Workshop Thousand Sons: Court Of The Crimson King

Product Information

The long awaited follow up to A Thousand Sons by Graham McNeill is finally here with The Crimson King! Nagasena is another creation of Graham McNeil from The Outcast Dead book, and a pretty good character too. Ahriman has gathered together a group of powerful legionaries including Hathor Maat and, as a nice surprise, Ignix. After securing the prophet they came for, a demon bound within a sarcophagus, they retreat back to their new home.

The Watchers of the Gate provide some of the higher savings of this years battleforces, and is probably the most competitive force straight out the box. A big block of rubric marines rounds the box and provides an excellent core for a chaos lord to build upon. The story itself is relatively fast paced, with even the "slower" scene capturing your attention due to everything that's going on in them. It felt like something straight out of the start of the Heresy series when there were still weird, unexplored areas of the galaxy for the story to go to.Near Mint condition cards show minimal or no wear from play or handling and will have an unmarked surface, crisp corners, and otherwise pristine edges outside of minimal handling. After a ritual that see the Thousands Sons reliving the horrors of Prospero which results in Amon's back being broken just like Magnus', the locations of the missing shards are revealed to them, in a way at least. Besides just being a great character who's wholly unique for the Thousand Sons, he comes across more as an Iron Warrior, it also helps connect the universe more. Ahriman is riveting as always, and Magnus continues to be one of the most tragic figures from the Heresy.

Having said that, I don't think it should have been cut, since it gives us our most direct time with the main shard of Magnus' soul. When the story opens we find Ahriman and a small group of Thousand Sons, as well as Lucius of the Emperor's Children, onboard a strange alien vessel seeking out a prophet.Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.
