They’ve been at war for at least 10,000 years, and now the Chaos Space Marines are back once more with fresh reinforcements and a renewed desire to see the Imperium burn. They’re joined by a bundle of Made to Order products for Orks and the T’au Empire, returning for a limited time only.
Codex: Chaos Space Marines
The Heretic Astartes return to the fray with a massive new Codex containing everything you need to bring the Chaos Space Marine Legions to the tabletop in the current edition of Warhammer 40,000. This 160-page tome gives these veterans of the Long War their full due in the Era Indomitus and contains eight separate Detachments and 48 datasheets, making for a huge variety of forces in your games. Whether you prefer to run an elite force of hate-fuelled Astartes, a horde of deranged cultists, or degenerate mobs of daemon-touched monsters, options abound.
On top of that, there are substantial Crusade rules to help grow your force in diabolically thematic ways, Combat Patrol rules for Zarkan’s Daemonkin, and a showcase of gorgeously painted miniatures – as well as tons of lore and a one-use code to unlock all this content in Warhammer 40,000: The App.
True devotees of the dark gods might beseech their patrons for the Collectors Edition, which features gilt page edging, a ribbon bookmark, and unique cover art.
Veterans of the Long War
The first place to get hold of the new Chaos Lord on Foot is with his infernal allies in this Veterans of the Long War Battleforce box. The new Lord has various head and weapon options, and he’s joined by a mighty host of Heretic Astartes, including five Possessed, five Chosen, 10 Chaos Terminators, and 10 Chaos Space Marines – plus five Chaos Space Marine transfer sheets comprising 364 decals.
Dread Talons
For those who prefer their new Chaos Lords to roar down from the skies on a jet of profane fire, there is the Dread Talons Battleforce box. This mighty army concentrates more on the Lost and the Damned, comprising one new Chaos Lord with Jump Pack, one Daemon Prince, five Dark Commune, eight Accursed Cultists, 10 Chaos Cultists, and a bodyguard of 10 Chaos Space Marine Raptors (which can also be built as Warp Talons). You also get five Chaos Space Marine transfer sheets.
Combat Patrol: Chaos Space Marines
Zarakan’s Daemonkin are the new Chaos Space Marine Combat Patrol. It’s a coven of Chaos Cultists whose wildest dreams have come true in the form of 10 Chaos Space Marines, five Possessed, and a Master of Possession. This force of 26 miniatures is rounded out by 10 Cultists, and full rules for using them in games of Combat Patrol can be found in the new Codex. For larger games of Warhammer 40,000, this force provides an army of around 460 points.*
Chaos Cultist Firebrand
Even the lowliest rabble of Chaos Cultists needs someone to crack the whip and roast their enemies, and the Cultist Firebrand is the man with the plan. His balefire pike produces D6+3 S5 automatic hits, while his Fiery Faith allows an attached unit of Cultists to reroll Leadership tests. This is the first time this single-pose miniature has been available separately.
Chaos Space Marines Accessories
Take the fight to the devotees of the Corpse Emperor in suitable style with these Chaos Space Marines Datasheet Cards and Dice. The former contains 48 Datasheet Cards for games of Warhammer 40,000, and four for Combat Patrol, with another covering the Army Rule. There are 16 six-sided dice in red with black details and the eight-pointed star of Chaos on the six face.
T’au Empire Made to Order
A fine selection of classic T’au Empire kits are returning to sale for a short window next week, on a Made to Order basis. These will be available for nine days from 10am local time on Saturday the 11th of May until 6pm GMT on Sunday the 19th of May. As Made to Order kits, they may take up to 180 days to arrive.
There are three characters: Aun’va (resin), Aun’shi (metal), and Commander Longstrike (resin), alongside the Tidewall Gunrig (plastic), and a set of 12 resin Fire Warrior Shoulder Pads for the Farsight Enclave.
Orks Made to Order
Two classic Ork characters get in on the Made to Order fun with the same production and delivery windows: Boss Zagstruk and Kaptin Badrukk, both in resin.
On Warhammer+ this week, Citadel Colour Masterclass will be exploring how to paint star-map cloaks, while Loremasters takes a jaunt to the World of Legend and investigates the wars in the Border Princes.
Here on Warhammer Community, we’ll have more to come from Warhammer Age of Sigmar, as well as some closer looks at the Chaos Space Marines, and some incredible new merch.
