Kravek Morne Debuts with Iron Mantle, Last Argument, Hobby Upgrade Set
Games Workshop revealed Kravek Morne, an Iron Warriors Warsmith in Cataphractii Iron Mantle with the thunder hammer Last Argument, plus a hobby upgrade sprue for IV Legion models.

Kravek Morne arrives as a clear focal point for builders and players of the IV Legion. The new Warsmith is presented wearing Cataphractii-pattern Iron Mantle armor and wields a signature thunder hammer called Last Argument, giving collectors a visually striking centerpiece and tournament players a flavorful narrative commander to kitbash around.
The reveal, posted January 26, 2026, also included a dedicated hobby upgrade sprue aimed squarely at Iron Warriors collectors. The sprue supplies alternate heads, shoulder pads, accessories, and heavy weapons designed for Legionaries, Terminators, and Chosen. These parts provide immediate conversion options for anyone assembling or updating a legion-themed force, whether the goal is authentic Heresy-era loadouts or more eclectic custom schemes.
Practical value is straightforward. Use the heads and shoulder pads to unify mixed squads under an IV Legion iconography, swap in the heavy weapons for specialized firepower in Tactical, Terminator, or Chosen squads, and fit the Cataphractii elements to give Terminator models the dense, plated silhouette that suits an Iron Warriors Warsmith. The sprue’s accessories make it easier to add scars, vents, and platework to squad leaders and elite units without resorting to scavenged bits boxes.
For narrative players, Kravek Morne’s Last Argument and Iron Mantle set up a clear character motif for campaign play. The reveal frames Kravek’s arrival as the opening of a wider Iron Warriors campaign; Games Workshop signaled more reveals to come, so this Warsmith looks intended to anchor upcoming story beats and themed releases. Tournament list builders will want to consider how Kravek fits into current detachment options and whether the model’s aesthetic justifies a dedicated command detachment or conversion centerpiece.
Hobbyists planning conversions will find immediate benefits in the sprue’s parts economy. Kitbashers can mix Legion-specific heads with generic heavy weapon arms, or graft Cataphractii plates onto veteran Terminator frames to achieve a battle-worn IV Legion look. Painters gain distinct armor features to highlight with weathering and layered metallics, and collectors receive a cohesive visual language for new and existing Iron Warriors displays.
Kravek Morne’s debut is both a model release and a narrative starting line. Expect further Iron Warriors reveals that expand on the campaign hinted at here, and use the upgrade sprue now to prep models for whichever direction the story and rules take next.
