The Warhammer Relics event didn’t just deliver jaw-dropping previews.
it also unveiled a trio of exciting new licensed Warhammer books from DK that fans old and new will want to keep an eye on. From deep lore dives and epic video game retrospectives to pocket-sized Space Marine wisdom, these releases promise to be must-haves for collectors and loremasters alike. Here’s what’s on the horizon.
Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopedia – 120+ Icons of the Imperium and Beyond
Packed with more than 120 entries, this Character Encyclopedia brings to life the legendary figures of the 41st Millennium—from Primarchs and Chaos Lords to Imperial heroes and xenos icons. Co-written by lore veteran Wade Pryce, the book draws from over 30 years of stories across novels, codexes, animations, and beyond.
Every copy will include a free miniature of one of the characters featured inside—though Games Workshop is keeping that identity a secret for now. Pre-orders are live, and it’s shaping up to be the perfect desk companion for lore hounds and hobbyists alike.

Spanning decades of digital carnage, this coffee-table-style volume dives into the visual history of Warhammer video games, featuring iconic titles from the original Space Hulk on the Amiga all the way to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Written by game industry veteran Andy Hall, the book includes commentary, developer notes, and massive art spreads showcasing beloved franchises like Dawn of War, Vermintide, and Total War: Warhammer.
As a bonus, each copy includes digital download codes for:
- Warhammer: Vermintide
- Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector
- Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin
- Lieutenant Titus unlock for Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus
Pre-orders are open now.
