Warhammer Store Anniversary Event 2025

I can't believe it's been here two years already! 

I rolled out to the Warhammer Store for their Anniversary Event today. I picked up a few things. None of it was impulse buys, really. It was all (well... mostly..) stuff I would have gotten at SOME point... just buying it all now got me some some FREE stuff... 

Here's what I picked up:

  • Stormcast Eternals Battletome
  • Soulblight Gravelords Battletome
  • Nighthaunt Battletome
  • Maggotkin of Nurgle Spearhead
  • Knight-Zephyros Estenna of Brighthall
  • latest White Dwarf

The Battletomes because I have enough of those to field armies... thought I might as well have the rules... 

The Maggotkin of Nurgle I've been thinking about for a year... I thought  it would be fun to have a spearhead for each of the Chaos Powers (also gives me a cluster of fun things to throw at players in Soulbound!)

Estella of Brighthall is not in the picture of the haul because she is shipped AFTER the anniversary event (they don't ship them to the store beforehand to guarantee that they neither run out nor have extra stock at the end of it all! I should get it her in the next week or two...) Did I NEED this... no, not really... but it's such a fun, dynamic model... and could be a player character in Soulbound... 

I'll probably paint her up as an Anvil of the Heldenhammer and give her a new name, though...

Above are the goodies I'll get for buying all this stuff during the store anniversary event. The dice cup and metal dice are kind of... meh... I could take them or leave them (the dice could be handy for keeping track of command points, or something similar, I guess... I imagine that the weight of them would mean I'm less likely to accidentally pick it up for a dice roll...). The Neoprene game mat is what I was most interested in! One side has a Spearhead battlefield printed on it. 

Like Estenna, this stuff also ships after the event, so I'll have it all in a few weeks! 

I also got a coin and a pin and a spare deck of Spearhead cards (just in case I ever have five friends over and we want to play three simultaneous games of Spearhead on the three maps that I own (or... WILL own, when the neoprene one arrives...)

I kind of wish all the Spearhead maps were printed like this. I know they'd cost a bit more, but the neoprene mats are so much more durable than the cardboard ones. 

Conveniently, because I got a bit ahead with the last few batches of undead, even with buying ANOTHER Spearhead, I've still painted more than I've acquired this year. I MAY dip back into the red when I pick up the Helsmiths of Hashut box in a week or so... (Or maybe not if I crank through another unit or two this week!!) 

I did get in a few more games of Spearhead with Orion yesterday, hopefully I'll get those game reports up later today!
