About this deal

Halflings don’t make natural Blood Bowl players, but with enough gumption and a good lunch even the shortest soul can rise to league stardom. Take Cindy Piewhistle for example – once a master baker, now a Star Player who weaponises her delicious wares, while Puggy Baconbreath is an elite athlete by usual halfling standards, with the skill and discipline of a champion twice his size. Some people see a miniature like the Lion and spy an opportunity for a show-stopping conversion. Patric has taken the base of the Primarch of the Dark Angels, striding forward with purpose, and converted him into the guise of his diseased – but still mortal – brother, Mortarion. The extremely detailed weathering all over is just the rusty cherry on the top. Pete Harrison Vashtorr the Arkifane and Abaddon have unleashed countless horrors upon the galaxy in the Arks of Omen series, but they’re not finished yet. Arks of Omen: The Lion is the final chapter of this epic narrative, and it opens with a bang as the Primarch of the Dark Angels heads a last-ditch attempt to thwart the forces of Chaos. Includes a step-by-step user guide for how to build The Lion and Retinue, from plastic sprue, through to a completed model which is fully assembled and ready to paint.

Dark Angels Vanguard: This army list focuses on using fast and mobile units to harass the enemy and disrupt their plans. Lion El’Jonson can be used to lead the Vanguard into battle and to provide them with support. Primarchs aren’t ones for subtlety, and Jon from Pintureando Miniatures has made his Lion stand out with striking colour blends on the armour and metal, and source lighting effects to create glowing elements on the Watchers in the Dark and Fealty. Kudos on the use of the unhelmeted but cowled head, too. Jennie RuskinBuoyed by their ability to hold objectives to the very last man, the Deathwing can teleport right into the heart of the battle as an immovable barricade, safe in the knowledge that points will be scored no matter the cost. Lion El’Jonson is a master swordsman, and his sword, The Lion’s Sword, is one of the most powerful weapons in the Imperium. He is also a skilled tactician and strategist, and he is a natural leader. The Lion and Retinue is a Warhammer 40,000 boxed set that was released in September 2023. It contains a model of Lion El’Jonson, the Primarch of the Dark Angels, as well as a unit of five Deathwing Veterans. The set is designed to be a good starting point for players who want to start a Dark Angels army, or for players who want to add a powerful new character to their existing army. Whereas Guilliman is all about optimism for a shining new Imperium, we wanted the Lion to be the dark, secretive side,” Dom explained. “We wanted him to sit in opposition to Guilliman, and from a narrative perspective, that gave us a really interesting place to go with his miniature.” The Lion and Retinue set can be used in a variety of ways in Warhammer 40,000 games. For example, Lion El’Jonson can be used to lead a Deathwing strike force on an enemy objective. Or, he can be used to support a larger Dark Angels army in a pitched battle.

The Lion has risen from his 10,000-year slumber, and he’s wasting no time putting traitors to the sword. The Primarch of the Dark Angels is a monstrously powerful duelist and indomitable battlefield leader, armed with the Emperor’s own shield and a massive power sword named Fealty. Your first chance to get him is in this celebratory launch set.* Many of their successors have risen to fame, like the bloodthirsty Flesh Tearers. Their Chapter Master, Gabriel Seth, is a great example of the way named successor Chapters work in the new edition – gaining all of the benefits of their parent Chapter’s Detachment but without the ability to mix Epic Heroes . Fletcher from Tabletop Tactics has done a stunning job – glazed reflections on the emerald armour, non-metallic metal effects on the power sword Fealty, an incredibly expressive face, and he’s even borrowed an extra Watcher from another kit to hold the Lion’s helm.* Every good knight needs his squires. John Ashton Stake your claim on the gleaming innards of a variety of voidcraft with Boarding Patrol: Leagues of Votann. The twisting corridors of a Boarding Actions map don’t leave many places to hide from the Judgement of an Einhyr Champion, five Einhyr Hearthguard, 10 Hearthkyn Warriors, and five Cthonian Beserks. Boarding Patrol: Agents of the Imperium The Deathwing Veterans are also highly disciplined and motivated. They are willing to sacrifice everything to defend the Dark Angels and the Imperium. The Lion and Retinue in Warhammer 40,000

Outflank lumbering opponents with the Sicaran Venator Tank Hunter***, a nimble armoured vehicle fitted with a neutron beam laser. It’s the perfect candidate for speeding ahead of your main force and tearing through the vulnerable side and rear armour of hapless enemy war machines. The guiding principle was to have the Lion contrast against his brother Roboute Guilliman . “I wanted a relationship between the two,” Seb told us, “It’s hard to talk about the Lion without talking about Guilliman, and they were very much informing each other.” This means that any Space Marine army can choose to use these Detachments should they see fit, provided they abide by their restrictions – no matter how much you love Librarians, you won’t be taking Space Marine psykers in a Righteous Crusaders Detachment. The main one you’ll need to worry about is that you can’t mix in units with a different Chapter’s keywords, so no non-Space Wolves named characters or Deathwing Terminators in the Champions of Russ Detachment, for example Dark Angels Dark Angels Deathwing: This army list focuses on using the Deathwing Veterans to hold objectives and to prevent the enemy from advancing. Lion El’Jonson can be used to support the Deathwing Veterans with his psychic powers and his sword.
