Christmas/Grotmas/Sanguinalia is upon the Warhammer 40,000 universe like a Tyranid hive fleet hungry for roasted biomass, and we have presents – a new detachment for your favourite army. That’s right! From the 1st until the 24th of December, we will be delivering new detachments for each and every faction in Warhammer 40,000.
These detachments have been designed with a few things in mind. They will not replace any of your Codex detachments, and will remain compatible with any Codex that is still yet to be released. So if you're wondering why a theme you would expect for a detachment isn’t among these, worry not – your Codex will be full of even more ways to play the game we love.
Every detachment has been crafted with a reason in mind – whether that’s popular demand, to support people’s collections, or to provide new ways to play, we wanted to support army narratives that we felt are not fully represented in the current or upcoming Codexes. There will even be an index for your Deathwatch armies, as previously promised.
They’re all built for matched play and Crusade, so you can use them regardless of your preferred way to play. The points for enhancements are in each detachment file, so you can immediately start playing games with all of your new content.
They will make their way into the Warhammer 40,000 App in early January, once they have all been released.
Not to be outdone, Warhammer Age of Sigmar is also receiving a grand Grotmas content drop in December – we’ll have more on that in due course.
