It’s another jam-packed week in the grim darkness of the far future (and a few places that are arguably even worse).
If the alien infestations, heretical constructs, and exploding terrain don’t get you, the sheer number of exciting releases just might. From subterranean Tyranid ambushes to classic Brayherds and some seriously heavy hardware for your Horus Heresy armies, here’s the lowdown.
Kill Team: Typhon – The Great Gun Uncovers Greater Horrors
Beneath Volkus, the Adeptus Mechanicus has a problem. Not a loose cog or a corrupted STC, but a full-on Tyranid infestation. Kill Team: Typhon brings two asymmetrical teams into conflict: the Battleclades, who are essentially Tech-Priest-approved murder-servitors led by an Underseer and a Technoarcheologist, and the Raveners, terrifying ambush predators who tunnel up for surprise carnage.
What really sets this box apart, though, is the environment. The terrain and missions reflect the warped, alien-contaminated underhive, and it includes AI-controlled elements in the Adversary Ops missions – great for solo or narrative play. Also: datacards, transfer sheets, and terrain galore make this a complete experience in a box. Grab it while stocks last.
Sanctifiers and Goremongers – Faith and Fury Collide
Two returning warbands are also making waves. The Sanctifiers are zealots with incense and iconography to spare, bringing their fiery faith to the battlefield with operatives like Death Cult Assassins and the Conflagrator.
On the flip side, the Goremongers are straight-up horrifying – Khorne cultists who slice off their own legs and replace them with cybernetic limbs to better emulate Bloodletters. That’s devotion… and an HR nightmare.
Both teams get tokens and datacards sold separately. They’re flavorful, thematic, and wonderfully grimdark – especially the Goremongers, who are peak “Kill Team weird.”
Horus Heresy Gets Auto-turrets and Big Guns
Over in the Age of Darkness, your Space Marine Legions now have access to some serious support weapons. The Tarantula Sentry Guns and Missile Batteries offer flexible area denial and anti-air options, bringing static firepower back in vogue.
If you want something more mobile – or at least track-mounted – the Rapier Weapons Batteries come in multiple flavors, from anti-infantry quad heavy bolters to siege-ready quad launchers and anti-tank laser destroyers.
These kits aren’t just nostalgia – they bring serious utility to the field and expand the hobbyist’s toolbox with lots of build options and classic Heresy aesthetic.
Brayherds Made to Order – Hooves, Horns, and Heritage
Chaos nostalgia is back with a limited-time Made to Order run of classic metal Beastmen models. This includes Bray-Shamans, Chieftains, and a gloriously banner-wielding Wargor. They’re perfect for rounding out a vintage collection or adding a little 6th Edition flair to your modern Brayherds. But act fast – they vanish back into the mists of Chaos soon.
Books: Void Exile, Da Mad Dok, and the Return of the Lord Solar
If you prefer your Warhammer with a side of prose, there’s plenty to dig into:
- Void Exile continues the story of the Carcharodons in a luxurious limited edition. Space Sharks fans, rejoice.
- Grotsnik: Da Mad Dok promises Ork mayhem, medical malpractice, and more teeth than a squig farm.
- Dominion Genesis comes to paperback, telling a story of desperate recovery and possible heresy on a post-Tyranid forge world.
- Leontus: Lord Solar lands in German, bringing the big-hatted general to a new audience.
- And First Founding returns in a standalone hardback – a must-have art and lore tome for Space Marine lovers.
Warhammer+ – From Total War to Total Mayhem
This week on Warhammer+, the Deep Strike crew chats with developers of Total War: Warhammer II, while Questing Knights celebrates Warhammer Quest’s 30th anniversary by cracking open the original box. Kill Lupercal returns with its second episode, and the Painting Desk gets stuck into Darkoath Chieftains.
Coming Up: Dropsites and Army Building
Stay tuned to Warhammer Community for ongoing coverage of the new Horus Heresy edition – including a deep dive into army construction and the tragic lore of the Dropsite Massacre. With Kill Team: Typhon tunneling its way into hearts (and skulls), and new rules and tools for narrative play, there’s a lot to keep players on their toes.
Whether you’re a grizzled Heresy veteran or a new commander looking to collect skulls for the skull throne (or icons for the Emperor), there’s something for everyone this week.
