Get ready for an epic journey into the heart of chaos! The Maelstrom awaits, and so does the infamous Huron Blackheart.
The Maelstrom, a chaotic vortex of stellar storms and Warp rifts, is home to one of the most powerful Chaos Lords - Huron Blackheart, leader of the Red Corsairs. And he's not content with just ruling his domain; he's launching a new raid on the vulnerable Imperium. This is where the story begins.
The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant
In the next thrilling chapter of Warhammer 40,000, we venture into the maddening Maelstrom. Huron Blackheart and his Red Corsairs are back, aiming for another devastating strike on Imperial space. But they're not alone; Prince Yriel's Eldritch Raiders have their own agenda in this cursed region, adding an intriguing twist.
Similar to the Titus set, The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant comes as a beautifully bound set of books. Each book offers new rules, background lore, and an immersive experience. The Lair of the Tyrant book narrates Huron's latest raid and his encounters with Aeldari Corsairs, while Crucible of Champions lets you create your own unique Warhammer 40,000 characters. There's also a Detachments booklet with new options for Chaos Space Marines, Aeldari, Orks, and Leagues of Votann armies. And for the pirates at heart, Raid and Ruin introduces a new campaign system, sending your armies on a swashbuckling adventure across the void.
For those seeking a luxurious treasure, there's a Collector's Edition. It features alternate cover art, red foil details, matching red gilt page edges, and red ribbon page markers. A true collector's dream!
Huron Blackheart and the Masters of the Maelstrom
Huron Blackheart, the mighty leader, isn't one to sit back and command from afar. He's stepping onto the battlefield with a brand new miniature, accompanied by an exceptional command squad: Garreon the Corpsemaster, Katar Garrix, Garlon Souleater, Captain Sargotta, and the Enforcer with her Barghesi pup Plunder. This multi-part plastic set offers two distinct units - Huron himself, who can join various units, and the command squad, forming a specialized warrior unit that only Huron can join. It's a powerful Leader unit for those with piratical ambitions, especially deadly in close combat with a Red Corsairs army.

Perfect for starting a new Wych Cult army or adding units from the gladiatorial pits.
The Maelstrom Battalion: Leagues of Votann
