If you love power armor and holiday swag, this drop absolutely slaps. We are getting two named Space Marine Captains, fresh Combat Patrols, and a brutal jump pack boss.
Additionally, xenos fans score a punchy Harlequins box while festive licensed goodies roll in early. Finally, there is a heap of new fiction and Warhammer+ programming to binge.
Summary of the Drop — The Big Beats
Two more characters revealed alongside Vulkan He’stan, Aethon Shaan, and Lysander finally arrive. Caanok Var of the Iron Hands storms in with Terminator armor and a maul that crushes elites or clears chaff.
Meanwhile, Suboden Khan thunders in on a grav bike, spear in hand, leading the First Brotherhood with classic White Scars speed.
Alongside them come new Combat Patrols for Iron Hands, White Scars, and Harlequins, plus a Captain with Jump Pack carrying a thunder hammer and relic shield. Moreover, the first wave of festive merch lands, and Black Library lines up multiple releases with Warhammer+ shows continuing the hype.
New Space Marine Hotness: Var, Khan, and Patrols
Caanok Var embodies Iron Hands pragmatism, nearly all augmetic and all business, swinging Axiom from a 50 mm base in Terminator plate. Consequently, Combat Patrol: Iron Hands leans hard on durable dakka, with ten Heavy Intercessors, two Firestrike servo turrets, and a Techmarine, plus an enormous 468 decal sheet covering multiple clans and even Sons of Medusa icons.
Suboden Khan arrives first inside Combat Patrol: White Scars, where an Impulsor ferries five Assault Intercessors while three Outriders ride shotgun for bike brawls. Furthermore, the box includes a White Scars transfer sheet with Brotherhood and Storm Lords options, letting you mark every hunter properly.
To match, there are Iron Hands and White Scars dice sets, each with sixteen dice and bespoke chapter icons. Finally, a new Captain with Jump Pack offers a flexible loadout, either thunder hammer with relic shield for smash plays or chainsword for extra swings, and he includes helmeted and bare head options.
Xenos Spotlight and Festive Loot
Combat Patrol: Harlequins brings the masque to the table with six Players, a Starweaver, two Skyweavers, a Voidweaver, and a deadly Solitaire. Therefore, you can dance through blades and bullets right out of the box, supported by two transfer sheets for varied masque markings. Meanwhile, the first festive gifts go live for early shopping.
You can snag a Red Gobbo plush, a bottle opener magnet, squig slippers, and squiggy pudding baubles. Additionally, the Squigalanche desk mat keeps your hobby space tidy while metal ornaments, keychains, and a purity seal badge add hobby flair.
Two new Christmas jumpers arrive as well, with Space Wolves blue and Soulblight crimson keeping you warm through long painting nights.
Stories to Read and Shows to Watch
Dropsite Massacre by John French revisits Isstvan’s infamous betrayal as fleets converge and loyalties fracture, available in hardback, eBook, and MP3.
Moreover, Spear of Ultramar by David Annandale and Dreadwing by David Guymer hit as audiobooks, both up for pre order with release on October 17. Additionally, Deathworlder arrives in German, following Catachans under Wulf Khan against the Tyranids.
On Warhammer+, Sigmar’s Toll continues with episode three, Arena of Death fields cross-faction dream teams, and the Heresy Tale of Four Painters escalates to 2,000 points. Finally, Loremasters crowns Settra with proper bombast while the Age of Sigmar ten year competition winners are announced across the UK, Canada, and France.
To wrap, this wave blends characterful Marines, nimble Aeldari, and cozy holiday gear with rich fiction and steady streaming content. If you collect Marines, Var and Khan both add flavorful, on-table punch, while the jump Captain is pure list glue. If you prefer speed, the White Scars patrol is a fast track to charge distance wins, and Harlequins still dance through gunlines with style. With gifts landing early and lore piling up, it is a great week to build, baste, and bash through new missions before the big holiday surge.
