Sisters of the Thorn/Wild Riders by GAMES WORKSHOP

The Sisters of the Thorn are Queen of the Forest’s handmaidens - a sisterhood pledged to sorcery and subtlety. Their counterparts, the Wild Riders are fey and dangerous creatures who serve as the King of the Forest’s personal guard. They are all borne into battle on graceful magical elks, which are as reckless and aggressive as their riders. This multi-part plastic boxed set contains all the components to build five Sisters of the Thorn or Wild Riders. 5/6/2014 (MSRP: $37.00; Age: 12 and Up)

Space Marine Tactical Squad by GAMES WORKSHOP

The Space Marines are the knight defenders of humanity in the far future. These fearless and noble guardians keep watch against the dangers of the galaxy from their fleets of fortress-like space ships. They are clad in mighty armor and bear the finest equipment the Imperium of Humanity can produce. This multi-part plastic box set contains all the components to build ten Space Marines with many additional parts for individual customization. 5/6/2014 (MSRP: $40.00; Age: 12 and Up)
