Next week brings back some classic Space Marines, while four complete Kill Teams – including the sought-after Inquisitorial Agents – get their standalone releases alongside a new Annual packed with expanded game content. That’s only the tip of the week’s iceberg, so let’s have a quick look at what’s coming next in the worlds of Warhammer.
Space Marines Vanguard Task Force
Space Marines in Phobos armour are expert scouts, infiltrating enemy lines in lighter gear. The Vanguard Task Force sees a well-rounded group of these stealth specialists return to the field, with 10 Infiltrators, three Suppressors, and three Eliminators led by a capable Lieutenant in Phobos Armour – all amply equipped to cause havoc in the backfield.
Captain with Relic Shield and Lieutenant with Storm Shield
Two heroes from the legendary Indomitus box set are flying solo for the first time. The Captain with Relic Shield is an excellent leader for your Bladeguard Veterans, while the Lieutenant with Storm Shield adds a hero with a nifty Invulnerable Save.
Master of Possession
On the Chaos side, the Master of Possession returns for his own standalone release, bringing his mastery of daemonic spirits, and a backpack that’ll make Salamanders jealous, to the table.
Kill Team Annual 2023 – Season of the Gallowdark
The most recent season of Kill Team has come to a close, challenging your operatives to survive in the bowels of the nightmare space hulk Gallowdark. These expansions introduced a wide variety of missions taking advantage of the close confines and unique scenery pieces, and now all of this content is being collected together into a massive 296-page tome.
Kill Team Annual 2023 – Season of the Gallowdark includes all of the rules from the Into the Dark, Shadowvaults, Soulshackle, and Gallowfall expansions, with 10 full kill teams, 45 missions, five Killzone terrain expansions, and a gripping Spec Ops campaign to play through. It’s the ultimate companion for games of Kill Team in close confines.
Fellgor Ravagers
Space hulks are often infested with mutated beastmen braying dark prayers to the Chaos Gods, and these hordes are known as Fellgor Ravagers. Using scavenged equipment and sheer bestial fury, they revel in the close-ranged scrum of the Gallowdark, and will take on any mission to earn glory in the eyes of their patrons.
Hand of the Archon
Elite Kabalite agents known as the Hand of the Archon are an invaluable asset for any lord seeking dominion over Commorragh, as they’re among the few Drukhari who can be trusted to carry out independent missions without immediately betraying their superiors. Their combat skills make them a threat both at range and up close, while they speed around the killzone setting up deadly ambushes and pouncing on unsuspecting operatives.
Hearthkyn Salvagers
Well equipped teams of Hearthkyn rummage through the drifting hulks of voidships for lost technology, valuables, and other prizes. These Kin possess a diverse array of skills to combat any trouble they might find aboard, from explosives experts to information analysts – and their powerful weapons make sure any would-be interruptions are swiftly dealt with.
Inquisitorial Agents
Despite the power afforded by their station, Inquisitors can rarely get much done without a dedicated team of acolytes and assistants to act as their eyes and ears in the field. These Inquisitorial Agents come from all walks of life and differ wildly from each other – represented by this kit having two very different build options for each of the four main operatives.
Killzone Upgrade: Gallowfall
Stage your missions in the chaotic escape pod bays and medical theatres of a dying space hulk in Killzone Upgrade: Gallowfall, containing 18 pieces of terrain for your Gallowdark-themed Kill Team boards. These upgrades bring your killzone to life with all kinds of pods, beds, and gurneys, and are essential for running the Gallowfall series of missions in the new Kill Team Annual 2023 – Season of the Gallowdark.
Imperial Fists Praetor in Tartaros Terminator Armour
When Praetors want to get up close and personal, they don ornate suits of Terminator armour and wade inexorably into battle. For the Imperial Fists, who prize defence and durability over all else, this armour is often paired with a mighty Vigil storm shield – a matchless work of defensive technology that confers an invulnerable save on its bearer.
Warhawk
Relive the epic duel between Jaghatai Khan and Mortarion in the new paperback edition of Warhawk by Chris Wraight, where the White Scars’ primarch squares off against his daemonically enhanced brother at the height of the Siege of Terra. With the inner walls of the Imperial Palace breached, and Loyalist forces backed into a corner, the Khan’s brazen gambit may be the only way to stave off final, ultimate defeat – provided he can fight through miles of traitor forces first.
Devastation of the Imperial Palace Interior Map
Celebrate the paperback release of Warhawk with a luxurious map of the Imperial Palace, depicted as the final days of the Siege of Terra ravage its walls. This A2 size cotton map is wrapped in an embossed faux-leather cover and tied with a metal charm featuring the logo of the White Scars, commemorating their legendary assault on the Lion’s Gate space port.
On Warhammer+ this week, the Loremasters tackle their largest topic yet – the indomitable god-engines of the Adeptus Titanicus. With Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis promising some truly awe-inspiring Titan-on-Titan showdowns, it pays to know the background behind the earth-shattering weapons that bring entire worlds to their knees. On top of that, the lore from Space Marines: Raven Guard is being added to the Warhammer Vault.
Here at Warhammer Community we’re delving further into the Cities of Sigmar with a closer look at the stern-faced Pontifex Zenestra, duardin and aelven armies, and other characters coming to the range. There’ll also be plenty more to see from the Age of Darkness, as the threat of corrupted Daemon Engines looms over a new entry in the Exemplary Battles series.
