A New Era[/h2]
VIII Cross of Dorn and VIII Ship Smasha have arrived in the Armory. You can find both ships in a large bundle that also includes Commanders Augustin Riegerwald and Grotmaz Smart with 11 skill points; "The Eternal Crusader" and "The Red Threat" themed camouflages; Mark of the Sword Brethren and Orky Glyph patches; Emperor's Champion and "The WAAAGH!" commemorative flags; and other items.
The bundles will be available for purchase until: Fri. 19 Nov. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

VIII Cross of Dorn is one of the most closely guarded secrets of the Black Templars. Only a few chosen Brothers know of its very existence, as it lays dormant deep in the Reclusiam hangars of the Eternal Crusader, flagship of the Templars’ fleets and Chapter’s Fortress-Monastery. This ship was the gift, reward, and blessing, given by Rogal Dorn to the newborn Chapter and its first High Marshal Sigismund. It is ancient like time itself, dating back to the early days of the Dark Age of Technology. Looking deceptively small, compared to the gargantuan vessels of Chapter’s fleets, it holds the mysterious and now forbidden powers of that long-forgotten era.

Orks do not navigate the Warp. They need no Astronomican like pesky Umiez. Gork and Mork guide them to WAAAGH! They jump into Warp and then jump out of it, Gunz blazing. But not with this sleek little VIII Ship Smasha. Where did the Boyz get this one? Was it assembled from parts of some primordial space hulk? Or just found by chance in some forgotten nooks and crannies of the Galaxy? They don’t remember and they don’t care. It has always been there, the only ship you can talk to. You tell it where to go, and you go there. But you must be smart to do so. Not Mekboy smart. Not Weirdboy smart. Real smart.

You can also find the new ships in separate bundles in the Armory, including traditional Admiral Packs.

You can obtain the Commanders only with the corresponding ships. All Warhammer 40,000 Commanders have unique voiceovers. You can have an unlimited number of identical Warhammer 40,000 Commanders simultaneously.

The Time-Tested[/h2]
In the Armory and Premium Shop, you can find a large bundle with the already familiar VIII Ignis Purgatio and VIII Ragnarok; Commanders Justinian Lyons XIII and Arthas Roqthar the Cold with 11 skill points; Primordial Annihilator and Protector of the Faith themed camouflages; Imperial Aquila, "The Mark of Khorne," "The Mark of Chaos," and Iron Halo patches; Khorne and Imperial Navy commemorative flags; and other items.
The bundles will be available for purchase until: Fri. 19 Nov. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)


Originally designed for a Naval mission of the purpose now long forgotten, VIII Ignis Purgatio was lost during the Horus Heresy. After missing for several millennia, the ship was rediscovered on one of the Frontier worlds in the Jericho Reach. Though clearly a warship, it was put to use as a transport by its new, uncouth masters who failed to recognize its true potential. After undergoing intensive repairs and cleansing its quarters of its previous inhabitants, Ignis Purgatio was eventually returned to Imperial Navy service and, since then, it has become an essential component of Battlefleet Solar. Once again, it acts as a fearsome guard dog for humanity and, by proxy, the Emperor Himself.

VIII Ragnarok is an immeasurably ancient vessel, a relic of days long forgotten. It was built in the shipyards orbiting a world of proud and fearsome warriors. Though the citizens adhered to the Imperial creed and paid their tithes, secret cabals on the planet’s surface worshipped Khorne, the Lord of Rage. Their cults were strong. They were hated. They were outnumbered. At the appointed hour, they rose up and tried to overthrow their loyalist masters. They failed. They were defeated in a long, bloody war and all, to a man, perished in flames. Their names were erased from history. But the fickle whims of the Warp decreed that their vengeful spirits would forever haunt the vessel Ragnarok, whose hull was being constructed in the docks above the planet's surface. The furious spirits invaded the hull and ensured the vessel served none but the Ruinous Powers. To this day, Ragnarok and all aboard it cry, "Vengeance! Death! Blood for the Blood God!"
