Next week, Wrath and Rapture tears its way into realspace – here’s what you’ll find in the box…

Wrath and Rapture is a new battlebox that pits the forces of Khorne against the hosts of Slaanesh in brutal interdimensional combat. Compatible with both Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, it’s a must-have for all fans of the Ruinous Powers.

This boxed set features no fewer than four totally new kits, including a much anticipated (and magnificent) revamp of the Fiends of Slaanesh and Flesh Hounds of Khorne. Both these units have full, multipart sprues and are (for now) exclusive to Wrath and Rapture.

Leading both forces, meanwhile, are two new Daemonic character models – Karanak, the notorious Hound of Vengeance and hunter of wizards, as well as the Infernal Enrapturess – a new kind of Slaaneshi herald who bolsters summoning and shreds enemy units with sonic waves.

You’ll find rules for these models – and the rest of the stuff in the set – across the booklets included in the set. These detail the lore of the Realm of Chaos, giving hints as to the nature of this mysterious dimension and offering insights into the endless machinations of the Dark Gods.

These books are a real treasure trove and include some great tools for roleplayers and narrative fans, like a pair of naming tables for Daemons – including their multi-syllabic true names. You think this is just a Flesh Hound? This is Cankerspite, also known as Oehleeig’gaeaekw (or Olly, to his mates).

Wrath and Rapture is a cracking boxed set for Warhammer 40,000 players – as both armies inside are Daemons, you’ll be able to use them both in the same force! For Warhammer Age of Sigmar players, meanwhile, you’ll be able to slot both forces neatly into your Hosts of Slaanesh or Blades of Khorne army. You’ll save a considerable chunk of cash compared to getting the sets inside separately, too!

On the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, the heartstring lyre of your Infernal Enrapturess will prove a valuable asset in the shooting Phase:

Her Harmonic Alignment ability ties in with the Slaaneshi Allegiance Abilities by generating an additional Depravity Point at the start of each of your hero phases. If you’ve ever been that frustrating single point short of summoning a Keeper, an Infernal Enrapturess will pay dividends. Furthermore, her Discordant Disruption ability is just as effective as her Warhammer 40,000 counterpart at punishing Wizards:

One final thought – an Infernal Enrapturess may be no slouch in combat, but don’t mistake her for a front-line brawler. She’s best used as a support character, so take advantage of the Look Out, Sir! rules to keep her away from danger where possible.

Fiends really exemplify what it means to be a Daemon of Slaanesh. They are seriously fast, able to outmanoeuvre any foe or exploit any gap in their lines, and attack with a flurry of claws. Fiends now also have an alpha-beast called a Blissbringer that hits even harder! The unit’s Crushing Grip ability makes their claws a deadlier prospect still in Warhammer Age of Sigmar:

Fiends also have a number of other advantages that help make them exceptional all-rounders. Not only does their sheer size lend them great survivability (they each have 4 Wounds, no less!), but they can bring down even high-value targets with their vicious barbed tail in Warhammer 40,000 or combination of Barbed Stingers and Deadly Venom ability in Warhammer Age of Sigmar:

Fiends also emit a soporific musk that can reduces the effectiveness of enemies nearby, preventing enemies from being able to Fall Back in Warhammer 40,000 unless they can fly, or inflicting various penalties on melee opponents in Warhammer Age of Sigmar:

Try to keep your Fiends near to (or use them to hunt down) enemy Psykers or Wizards, as their Disruptive Song ability will subtract 1 from any Psychic tests or casting rolls made by enemies within 12″ of them. This works brilliantly in conjunction with your Infernal Enrapturess’ Discordant Disruption ability to counter enemy psychic powers or spells.
