The galaxy gets a double shot of cruelty and courage next week. Drukhari sweep in with a full codex, new kits, and a realspace raid in a box.
Meanwhile, the Death Korps of Krieg bring trench grit to smaller games. Additionally, Black Library lines up new tales for Necron and Imperium fans. Consequently, there is plenty to paint, play, and read in one tidy drop.
The Drukhari Take the Stage
Codex: Drukhari lands as a 136 page tome with five Detachments and twenty three datasheets. Moreover, it folds in Commorragh lore, miniature showcases, and Crusade rules for rival lords and spoils trading. A collector’s edition adds unique art, a ribbon bookmark, and dark blue edges. It is not bound in skin, yet the vibe fits the faction perfectly. Rules for the range hit the Warhammer 40,000 app shortly after release.
Lady Malys arrives as a plastic centerpiece for schemers. She can shift up to three units into Strategic Reserve after deployment. Additionally, she increases certain enemy stratagem costs by one Command Point. The kit offers two head options and two different base ruins. Consequently, lists gain a surgical pregame lever and real disruption on key turns.
The Realspace Raiders battleforce becomes the first stop for the new Archon. The kit packs two torsos, two collars, pistol or soul trap rights, and three blade lefts.
Moreover, there are three heads for flavor. The force adds five Scourges, five Hellions, five Incubi with a Shrine token, ten Kabalites, ten Wyches, and a Venom. Therefore, you can strike fast, pin harder, and score wide from turn one.
Combat Patrol: Drukhari leans into the Covens for delicious horror. Haemonculus Xatrophos Nuul leads a Cronos, a Talos, and ten Wracks.
Moreover, a separate Wracks box delivers ten bodies with interchangeable arms, masks, and back pieces. A datasheet card pack provides twenty eight references, including Combat Patrol cards and all codex units.
Additionally, sixteen pearlised blue dice bear the Poisoned Tongue icon on the six. Pre-orders open soon, and the app update follows the boxes.
Krieg Marches to the Line
Combat Patrol: Death Korps of Krieg focuses on steady pressure. A high ranking Commissar and a Command Squad anchor the push. Moreover, a heavy weapons team with three guns and a Fire Coordinator brings reach. Five Death Riders then dive into priority targets and crack screens. Ten infantry fill lanes and hold ground while the cavalry circles. Consequently, you get a compact set that already feels like a proper siege detachment.
Black Library Weekend Reads
Tomb World by Jonathan D Beer follows Khemet and a dynasty stirring from long sleep. Old shame returns as ambitions and betrayals ignite around a monumental task. Moreover, a special edition arrives with a leather effect cover, green and silver printing, lime edges, and a silver bookmark. It includes an author afterword and is available while stocks last. Regular hardback, eBook, and MP3 formats also open for pre-order.
Morvenn Vahl: Spear of Faith by Jude Reid arrives in paperback. Vahl defies the Senatorum and Imperialis to save Ophelia VII from Kol Rakhul. Moreover, she leads an army of Living Saints into the storm with mortal resolve. Choose Your Enemies reaches French readers in paperback and eBook. Ciaphas Cain faces a Chaos cult and a threatened forge world in classic fashion. Consequently, there is something for every corner of the Imperium this week.
Shows, Previews, and Winners
Warhammer TV drops the second episode of Sigmar’s Toll alongside two studio shows. Citadel Colour Masterclass teaches aged and weathered Deathrattle armour with clear steps. Moreover, Battle Report pits Nighthaunt against Idoneth over the Aetherflame beacon. The aelves lure souls from Shyish while Nagash rages from his dark throne. Consequently, it is a stylish clash with strong narrative hooks.
Warhammer Community previews new Drukhari rules in detail next week. Additionally, the site delivers Inductii rules for the new edition of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. A weighty reveal also looms on Monday, now en route to a battle barge. Finally, the Primarch Saturnine launch winners are announced. Peter Dale of Nottinghamshire, Lisa Geppert of Meuse, and Björn Håkan Rytterlund of Østlandet claimed the honors. Additional winners were contacted but did not respond.
Summary: Next week pairs razor sharp Drukhari releases with stoic Krieg action. The codex and boxes make raiding lists fast to build and fun to pilot. Moreover, Black Library expands the setting with Necron intrigue and heroic defiance. Warhammer TV and Community then round things out with skills, battles, and timely rules.
Outro: If you crave speed and spite, the Dark City calls your name. If you prefer mud, masks, and duty, Krieg has saddles ready. Moreover, fresh fiction and shows keep the hobby loop turning. Therefore, set your alarms, clear a shelf, and ready your brush water. The raid is coming, and the dice will decide who whispers last.
