THE 1ST EVER CO-OP CARCASSONNE ARRIVES WITH THE NEW MISTS OVER CARCASSONNE!

Players take turns, adding a new land tile to the board each time. This creates an ever-enlarging game board onto which you place your meeples to score points. During the game, ghosts will keep appearing – your job is to pacify them. Together, you must reach the goal tile by scoring a pre-determined number of points. But watch out: If there are too many ghosts on the board, or you can’t draw land tiles anymore, then you have lost. All players play together against the game. 

Mists over Carcassonne includes 45 meeples in two new types and 60 tiles that match the graphics of the 2021 edition of Carcassonne, and this game includes rules for how to incorporate material in a regular competitive game of Carcassonne. The base game is not required to play but can be used in conjunction to enhance the game.

DO YOU LIKE SCARY MOVIES? IF SO, THEN YOU GOTTA CHECK OUT THE NEW SCREAM BOARD GAME!

As the clock ticks down, help each other escape the murderer…but watch out! If
Ghost Face calls you, you are his next target! It’s terrifying fun you’ll die to play again and again!

  • Fast-paced gameplay gets your heart pounding as you race to stay alive!
  • Custom Ghost Face figure tracks the killer as he moves and attacks.
  • Free downloadable game app features intense original narration by Roger L. Jackson and music!
  • Evocative art and components, including Knife first-player marker, will delight Scream fans.

NEW 40K 🔥 DROP WITH ASTRA MILITARUM MINKA LESK THIS WEEK!

Minka Lesk. The Last Whiteshield of Kasr Myrak, forged in the fires of the Fall of Cadia, now a Captain in the Cadian 101st Regiment. Lesk owes her meteoric rise through the ranks of the Astra Militarum to her repeated victories in the face of impossible odds, leading her fellow Cadians from the front lines in Humanity’s war for survival.

This multipart plastic kit builds Minka Lesk, a legendary Cadian officer and star of Black Library fiction. The kit offers an impressive assortment of heads, arms, and accessories, allowing you to represent Minka at different points in her rise through the ranks – from a battle-worn young soldier for your Cadian Shock Troops, to a respected Captain suited for use as a Cadian Castellan on the battlefield. You can choose between a head wearing bandages or a comm-set, a pointing hand or power sword for her right arm, a lasgun or bolt pistol for her left arm, and a combat knife or empty scabbard for her belt.

Stood atop a scenic base littered with the rubble, remains, and blasphemous sigils of Cadia’s fall, Minka is a fantastic addition to any Astra Militarum army or collection, and a great painting project for fans of her books.

SO MUCH WARHAMMER 40K 🔥 HITTING THIRD EYE THIS SATURDAY 7/22/23!

We’ve got sooooo many goodies arriving, from some dope new models for both Tyranids and Space Marines, to the must-have STARTER & INTRODUCTORY SETS!

Across the far-flung worlds of the Imperium of Mankind, in a galaxy riven by warp storms and unceasing conflict, the armies of Humanity battle for survival. With the Imperium already standing upon the brink of annihilation, the Tyranid hive fleets emerge from the cold void between the stars. The Space Marines stand as the last line of defence between this ravenous alien menace and the beleaguered worlds of the Imperium.

Take the plunge into the 41st Millennium with this Starter Set for Warhammer 40,000. This box gives you a compelling introductory experience, with incredible models, a game mat to fight over, helpful guides, and all the dice and tools you need to play your first games. Pick the noble Space Marines or swarming Tyranids, give control of the other army to a friend or family member, and battle it out for hours of entertainment. This box is a fantastic way to get into the Warhammer 40,000 hobby – it’s also great for expandinng your existing collections.

PLUS: TYRANID BARBGAUNTS ARRIVE!

Barbgaunts are little more than living weapons, their bodies and biological cannons slaved to the will of a pulsating ganglio-parasite that piggybacks them into battle. Once there, they unleash volleys of chitinous barbs that detonate with the fury of violent muscle-spasms, transfixing nearby victims with a hail of jagged projectiles. 

This multipart plastic kit builds five Barbgaunts – Tyranid creatures engineered as biological artillery. Each of these hunched and hulking gaunt-forms is fused to a grotesque barblauncher – five stout limbs serve to support its living weapon or provide a stable firing platform, while the sixth is little more than an atrophied talon. These beasts of burden are controlled by cerebral parasites, fleshy tendrils digging into each Barbgaunt’s eyeless skull to direct its organic payload.

ANNNNND A LIBRARIAN? YOU KNOW IT!

Librarians are the battle-psykers and lore-keepers of the Space Marines, and when clad in Terminator armour lend a lethal psychic edge to their elite infantry spearheads. Whether in gruelling boarding actions, ferocious urban combat, or a stand against overwhelming enemy numbers, these psychic juggernauts carve a path with powerful empyric blasts and unnatural foresight.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Librarian in Terminator Armour, a psychic powerhouse of his Chapter. He wields a force weapon – a destructive focus for his mental energies – in the form of an ornate axe, while a wrist-mounted storm bolter spits shells at his foe. The Librarian’s imposing armour is decorated with the horned skull symbol of the Librarius, features warding sigils etched directly into the ceramite, and incorporates a psychic hood that aids him in resisting enemy witchcraft.

LOOKING TO SAMPLE SOME WARHAMMER 40K? THE INTRODUCTORY SET IS A PERFECT START POINT!

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.

Across the far-flung worlds of the Imperium of Mankind, in a galaxy riven by warp storms and unceasing conflict, the armies of Humanity battle for survival. With the Imperium already standing upon the brink of annihilation, the Tyranid hive fleets emerge from the cold void between the stars. The Space Marines stand as the last line of defence between this ravenous alien menace and the beleaguered worlds of the Imperium.

Take your first steps into the 41st Millennium with this Introductory Set for Warhammer 40,000. This box is a great way to get familiar with this amazing hobby, as you build and paint incredible models, then play your first games. It includes two sets of push-fit models, a set of hobby tools and paints, a game mat, helpful guides, tokens and terrain markers, plus all the dice and tools you need to play. Pick the noble Space Marines or swarming Tyranids, give control of the other models to a friend or family member, and battle it out for hours of entertainment. If you’re thinking about giving Warhammer 40,000 a try, this is your chance – it’s also an excellent way to expand your existing collections.
