Cathedral of the Martyr Resplendent

The Cathedral of the Martyr Resplendent was a diorama at Warhammer World. It featured Word Bearers fighting Adepta Sororitas inside a Cathedral.

The Talledus system burns. Totalitarian faiths are the fuel, frenzied zealotry the spark that sets it ablaze. Hordes of Chaos-worshipping Word Bearers assault the strongholds of the Imperial creed, toppling statues and hurling libraries of holy texts into the flames.

The Cathedrum of the Martyr Resplendent is one such imperilled bastion, where the Battle Sisters of the Order of Our Martyred Lady make their stand, with righteous revulsion in their hearts.

Alongside the diorama were a fair few Adepta Sororitas models including this Adepta Sororitas Exorcist.

The Exorcist exemplifies the Adepta Sororitas’s unique blend of fervent devotion and ruthless prosecution of heresy. This mobile shrine to the Emperor is a masterpiece of ornate craftsmanship, rolling into battle while broadcasting hymns of praise. These inspiring sounds resonate across the battlefield, filling the hearts of the faithful with renewed faith and pride. When squadrons of Exorcists advance in armored spearheads, their combined hymns transform even the most brutal warzone into a resounding cathedral.

There was a also an Adepta Sororitas Castigator.

Castigators are formidable battle tanks of the Adepta Sororitas, designed to provide devastating fire support for their Battle Sisters. These heavily armored vehicles are equipped with a diverse arsenal, allowing them to engage a wide range of targets. Their primary role is to shatter enemy formations and decimate infantry ranks with overwhelming firepower. A single volley from a Castigator can tear through tightly packed enemy squads, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Whether unleashing a barrage of bolter fire, incinerating foes with flamestorms, or unleashing volleys of missiles, Castigators excel at clearing the path for advancing Sisters, turning the tide of battle in mere seconds. Their presence on the battlefield is a testament to the Emperor’s might, a symbol of righteous fury unleashed upon His foes.

Red Scorpions

This Forge World Red Scorpions Razorback was on display at Warhammer World.

This Forge World Red Scorpions Land Raider was on display at Warhammer World.

The Red Scorpions came from Forge World. They could play around with the chapter, without it impacting on the mainstream chapters.

Plastic Arvus Lighter on pre-order next week

One of the reveals at the World Championships Preview back in November was a plastic Arvus Lighter for The Horus Heresy.

This week we found out that it goes on pre-order on the 18th January.

I said in my previous post when the model was announced.

I really like this model and I will probably get this when it is released.

Though released for The Horus Heresy, I suspect it would also make a great model for, not just Warhammer 40K, but also Necromunda.

Burlok Damminson on pre-order next week

This week we found out that this lovely dwarf miniature goes on pre-order on the 18th January.

Burlok Damminson was an old dwarf in the era of Karl Franz, but we see him here as a young and impetuous inventor who’s really getting on the nerves of the Engineers’ Guild… He’s armed with several proprietary experimental weapons, and substantially improves nearby ranged units by his very presence.

The model is made of Forge World resin.

Very tempting.

Thunderbolt Fighter

The Thunderbolt heavy fighter is one of the two main fighter aircraft patterns used by the Imperial Navy, the other of which is the Lightning air superiority fighter. The Thunderbolt is the mainstay weapon system of Imperial Navy fighter wings and is a rugged, well-armed and armoured heavy fighter with all-around capabilities, a good maximum speed and above-average maneuverability, powerful nose-mounted weapons and hard points located on the wings for missile or bomb load-outs.

Mark Bedford’s excellent Thunderbolt diorama.

It is an aircraft that is well-liked by those who fly and service it and it has served the cause of the Emperor for many centuries.

The Thunderbolt’s primary combat role is as an air superiority fighter. It seeks out and engages enemy aircraft in dogfights or hunts enemy bombers to establish air superiority. The Thunderbolt’s greatest strength is its versatility, since it has good performance as a high-altitude escort fighter while it is also serviceable in the roles of a low-altitude fighter-bomber, night fighter or even as a reconnaissance aircraft when necessary.

Skorpius Disintegrator

The Skorpius Disintegrator of the Adeptus Mechanicus drifts gracefully across the dunes, its anti-grav motors thrumming quietly in stark contrast to its thundering guns. As it accompanies the advancing Skitarii phalanxes, the Skorpius Disintegrator delivers punishing salvoes from its ferrumite or belleros energy cannons, while its cognis heavy stubbers and disruptor missile launcher spit death at any who would threaten the armoured vessel.

Marauder Bomber at Warhammer World

The Marauder Bomber is the workhorse of the Imperial Navy.

Capable of both atmospheric and void operations, it is used as an attack craft in fleet actions as well as fulfilling a tactical role, supporting ground offensives by bombing enemy troop concentrations and support positions.

Such tactical bombing missions are often launched prior to, and in support of, Imperial Guard offensives.

Onager Dunecrawler

Owing its origin to the lost knowledge of millennia, the Onager Dunecrawler is based on the Mars Universal Land Engine; itself inspired by the bad-tempered beasts of burden that transported their masters across Holy Terra in ancient times. The Onager Dunecrawler, rather than being a mere people-carrier, is absolutely brimming with advanced, powerful weaponry capable of reducing worlds to wastelands.

Inquisitorial Repulsor

The Repulsor armoured transport is a deadly combination of manoeuvrability and raw brute force.

This is an Inquisitorial Repulsor on display at Warhammer World.

Blood Angels Legion Sicaran Battle Tanks

The Sicaran battle tank is one of the most advanced armoured units in the arsenal of the Legiones Astartes, with a number of variants that spread quickly throughout the Legions.

These Forge World variants were on display at Warhammer World. I was totally impressed with the painting of these models and the intricate insignia across both vehicles.

The Sicaran Omega Tank Destroyer is a formidable tank hunter, utilising the speed provided by the Sicaran’s engines to apply overwhelming short range firepower.

It races forwards to ambush and obliterate the lumbering siege tanks of enemy columns, unleashing the brutal energies of its oversized plasma array – a crude, retrofitted imitation of the Mechanicum’s plasma technology that is nevertheless entirely capable of reducing hostile vehicles to smouldering wrecks.
