September @ Bestiarum - Church of the Acarid

September skitters onto the scene with a set of parasitic horrors and an accompanying Terrain pack - something we know many of you have been begging for! Alongside the new releases, we’re also breathing fresh life into a Bestiarum classic with a remaster of the original Gorgon Catacombs set.

Veteran subscribers will remember the Gorgon Catacombs, first released in April 2021. We’ve always loved this collection, and it felt like the perfect time to bring it back into the light. With the remaster comes a new name, The Church of the Acarid, and a new narrative, transforming this long-forgotten temple into something stranger and far more unsettling...

Joining the miniatures is a brand new centrepiece terrain element - a terrible Altar at the heart of the Church of the Acarid. From this decaying platform, the Infested Abbot gurgles his terrible sermon and draws up the parasites from the depths below, ready to subsume a new host.

This set is super modular, and contains some extremely useful sub-parts - which we’re sure the crafters amongst you put to great use.

Note: The diorama base is designed specifically for FDM printing only. This structural piece doesn’t suit resin but will print beautifully on FDM machines. 

The rest of the Set - the Altars, Candles, Eggs, Parasites and all the gorgeous details - are designed for Resin, so those of you without access to an FDM machine will still be able to recreate this grim diorama.

Faction Book - Church of the Acarid

A brand-new Faction Book accompanies this release, fully reimagining the original lore. The Church now serves as a cautionary tale of faith and folly within the Azerai Empire, revealing new aspects of mankind's Last Church.

Inside, you’ll also find a full suite of 5E-ready stat blocks. Expect parasitic horrors that spread quickly, latch onto unsuspecting adventurers, and threaten to consume their very will, a delightfully grotesque addition to any campaign.

Remastering the Gorgon Catacombs

Alongside the new models, we’ve remastered the original Gorgon Catacombs collection for improved printability, build experience, and versatility.

We’re especially excited about the modular loadouts now available for Pilgrims and Warriors, making them cross-compatible with our Trench Conversion Kit, perfect for anyone looking to build a Black Grail Warband. Hail Beelzebub!
