Warhammer Fest Online! Day 5 Review

The Day 5 Review returns us fully to Warhammer 40,000. We’ve got a small addition to the Astra Militarum and a full-sized expansion to Orks! We’ll cover the Guard quickly before pivoting to da Beast Snaggas!

Day 5 Review – Infantry Sprue

The Cadian Shock Troopers boxed set is an older kit. Many of the options the unit had weren’t in there. Instead, you had metal blisters with many of your special weapons. Frequently, you’d repurpose metal Cadian Officers to represent the equipment your sergeant could carry. No more!

Very soon, Cadian Shock Troop boxes will include an additional sprue. Not only will you have all your special weapon options in one box, but you’ll also have sergeant options and 25 heads to personalize your Guardsmen.

Check it all out below.

Day 5 Review – Beast Snaggas

e’d already seen some individual Beast Snaggas models in an earlier article. Today, we’re getting a good look at the first half of the new Ork models for 2021! Your first chance to score them will be in the Beast Snagga Orks Army Set.

Not only do you get all the fantastic models shown above, but also a copy of the 9th edition Codex: Orks well before the retail release.

We’ve been given closeups of two of the Army Box models as well.

Here’s a Nob to add more impact to your charge. He’s riding a smasha squig. With the addition of a heavy head plate, the smasha becomes a living battering ram. There’s no going around, only through!

And here we have a call back to the old days of 2nd Edition, Zodgrod Wortsnagga. He’s a strangeboy for sure. He thinks grots are worth something. He uses positive reinforcement! Word is he once fired a Mek out of his own Shokk Attack Gun for “wasting” his grots. Strange. Boy.

And now let’s end on the traditional barker’s call, “That’s not all!” Kit your Warboss out in the best gear your Mekboys can kludge together, mega armor! Stomp right through the heaviest fire and chop them up the Orky way with an axe! Up top, you’ve got a loyal little grot manning your shoota ‘cuz you got betta thinks to krump’. Anyway, he’s BS 4+, not 5+.

Thanks for looking in on the Day 5 Review. You can find the earlier reviews on Warhammer Community or start with the Day 1 Review right here on CMO

There is a special announcement on Day 6, but I’m out for the weekend. I’ll give some short coverage on Monday. See you then.
