The last few months have been huge for Warhammer 40,000 reveals – Vashtorr the Arkifane leers menacingly over the future of the 41st Millennium, Grand Master Azrael of the Dark Angels is returning to the fray, and the Arks of Omen series promises an epic, galaxy-spanning narrative. What else could there possibly be to show?
For starters, there are two eagerly-awaited codexes bearing down on us.
The World Eaters become a standalone army in early 2023. Led by the Daemon Primarch Angron and everyone’s favourite backstabbing rage machine Khârn, these crimson killers are primed and ready to take the tabletop by storm.
In the face of such reckless bloodshed, the Astra Militarum stand firm and bring awesome new units to the battlefield. Rogal Dorn Battle Tanks, Field Ordnance Batteries, and Lord Solar Leontus are just a few of the newcomers, and there’s seldom been a better time to stand in the ranks of the Guard.
With the war for the Imperium Nihilus escalating, even the Imperium’s finest will need reinforcements – and reinforcements they shall get. Garbled pict-captures from the Tarmoth System have caught glimpses of figures hefting what look like pretty huge weapons. If only we had a clearer picture, perhaps coming at a major event in the near future…
Our look ahead at the Arks of Omen series revealed a fourth book lurking beyond the shadows, its details shrouded by decree of the Ordo Xenos. What dreadful alien threat could cause such drastic action to be taken, so far beyond the Imperium’s sight?
Speaking of space hulks… Kill Team! Now that the Shadowvaults have been cracked wide open, it’s time to speculate about Soulshackle – the mysterious next expansion set. We know quite a few factions who’d love to get their hands on some tasty mortal souls, but how many of them have experience fighting in the bowels of a space hulk?
