Fight for control of the mortal realms in Warhammer Shadow and Pain!

Two ancient enemies collide in the new boxed set from Games Workshop, Shadow & Pain. This box set sees the Daughters of Khane and Servents of Morathi pitched against the Hedonites of Slaanesh in a bloody bid for control of the Mortal Realms. Available for order now, Shadow & Pain pits a band of mortal and daemonic warriors devoted to Slaanesh against a zealous coven loyal to High Oracle Morathi both led by a brand hero that is only available in this box, just another reason for you to take to the mortal realms and join the struggle! The first hero is the lord of pain, a brand new character for the armies of Slaanesh armed with a massive, cruelly spiked soulpiercer mace. These depraved warriors are inured to pain – indeed they revel in it. On the battlefield, they can share their wounds with their attackers. How generous!

Not ones to relent in the face of danger, the Daughters of Khaine are led by a new Hero of their own – the Melusai Ironscale. Crafted from the souls of aelves that burn bright with the need for revenge, an Ironscale’s touch alone can turn enemies into crystal statues. They also wield a keldrisaíth – an ornate staff that can be thrown as well as used in close quarters, making them a threat in melee and at range. What’s more, their savage displays in combat can drive nearby Melusai into a frenzy, represented in your games by the Gory Offering ability. These new Heroes lead two starter armies for the Hedonites of Slaanesh and the Daughters of Khaine. The contents will let you create two named warscroll battalions, but the full kits inside can be built however you like in order to swell the ranks of your existing armies.

Each copy of the box contains the following components:

  • The Shadow and Pain booklet – your guide to the contents of the set, containing new lore looking at the continuing hunt for Slaanesh, rules for the models inside, two Warscroll Battalions you won’t find anywhere else, Realm of Battle rules, Battleplans, and more!
  • Tokens to keep track of ongoing effects in your battles
  • Warscroll cards that make referencing the rules for the models in this set a breeze
  • A whopping 38 Citadel Miniatures, including:
    • 10x Melusai, buildable in any combination of Blood Sisters or Blood Stalkers
    • 5x Khinerai, buildable as Heartrenders or Lifetakers
    • 1x Melusai Ironscale, a champion of the Melusai currently exclusive to this set
    • 10x Daemonettes
    • 1x Hellflayer, also buildable as a Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh
    • 10x Hellstriders
    • 1x Lord of Pain, a champion of the Hedonites of Slaanesh currently exclusive to this set
