The 3rd wave of McFarlane's Warhammer 40k action figure line has gone up for pre-order at Big Bad Toy Store, and that means we now have a clear look at the three figures and their packaging.
The wave doesn't expand the line too much as we have variants of already released figures. The Necron Tomb World armies will be bolstered by the arrival of the Necron Flayer who is a variant on the original Necron Warrior. The Flayer comes with flesh decoration over their head and shoulders and a pair of claws as weapons. The Flayer will come as both a painted figure and an unpainted Artists proof.
The other figure is another variant of the Adepta Sororitas, this time from the Order of the Bloody Rose. This variant Battle Sister is identical to the original, just repainted. She comes with a chain-sword and bolter, again identical to the original release.
These figures are down as a June 2021 release.
The Order of the Bloody Rose is one of the major Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas, or the Sisters of Battle, founded in honor of Saint Mina by the Ecclesiarch Deacis VI in the middle of the 38th Millennium.
From the moment a sister joins the Bloody Rose, she is taught to foster and harness her most violent impulses so that they may be unleashed upon the enemies of the faith. As soon as the foe is at close range, the sisters charge, striking at the moment they crash into the enemy lines and screaming wrathful praise as they give vent to their hatred striking with practiced precision and moving on to the next enemy before the previous one even has the time to hit the ground.
Flayed Ones are Necrons who have been infected and succumbed to the Flayer Virus of the C'tan Llandu'gor, a Star god who inflicted Necrons with it as retribution for being obliterated by them. As a result the virus drives them insane with a hunger for blood and gore. They wear and decorate themselves with the skin and body parts of their opponents. Driven out or destroyed by their fellow Necrons for fear of the virus, these monstrosities congregate wherever bloodshed is to be had.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
