The weekly drop is stacked, and it hits both the killzone and the gift list.
We are getting stealth duels in a Necron crypt, plus a pile of festive merch for hobby caves and trees. There are fresh kits for Deathwatch and Canoptek tinkerers, and there is terrain to turn tables into tombs. Meanwhile, Black Library adds big lore hitters, and Warhammer+ lines up binge fuel. Altogether, this is one of those roundups that drags you back to the painting desk with a grin.
Dead Silence Kicks In: Stealth vs. Stalkers in a Necron Tomb
Kill Team: Dead Silence sets Tau covert ops against veteran Space Wolf scouts inside a dormant tomb world. The box gives you two full teams, a map and log pad for a linked narrative, a rules dossier, transfer sheets for both factions, and enough tokens to start immediately.
The XV26 Stealth Battlesuit operatives lean on near-invisibility and flexible arm mounts for burst cannons or fusion blasters, so careful positioning is crucial.
However, the Wolf Scouts are not fresh recruits. They are Fenrisian veterans with a loyal wolf and the instincts to counter sneaky plays, so their tool kit answers most board states. Close quarters rules emphasize tight lanes and sudden traps, which makes every door, corridor, and angle matter.
New Kill Teams Arrive: Deathwatch and Canoptek Circle
Beyond Dead Silence, two marquee teams step into the spotlight. The Deathwatch kit is a celebration of customization, with dual build paths for each marine, a heap of chapter-badged shoulder pads, and enough heads to theme your veterans to taste. Consequently, you can lean into precise fire teams or brutal breachers and still look unique.
On the other side, the Canoptek Circle revolves around a Necron Geomancer that literally rewrites the battlefield. Drones and constructs execute layered plans that reward players who think two activations ahead.
Datacards for both teams streamline play, so you keep the tactics in your head and the reference on the table.
Additionally, Killzone: Tomb World lands as a standalone terrain set, delivering a full board of crumbling Necron architecture and that tight, dramatic close quarters vibe.
Stockings, Squigs, and a Nurgling Hoodie
If you need holiday flavor, the merch drop is gloriously extra. Chaos God baubles join a metal Twin-tailed Comet tree topper for maximum stability and style. A Gobbo mug and coaster set fuels late-night hobby sessions, while knitted hat and scarf options rep Space Wolves or Sororitas out in the cold. Multi-faction stockings keep the loot secure, and Space Wolves socks warm your feet while you queue a match or varnish a squad.
Moreover, the Gloomspite squig mouse pad brings loud energy to any desk, and the Nurgling Mega Hoodie is part blanket, part gremlin, and entirely comfortable.
Page-Turners and Streams: Big Brains, Bigger Battles
White Dwarf 518 celebrates 50 years of Games Workshop with retrospectives, throwback challenges, classic report recreations, and a look at the new Helsmiths of Hashut.
Meanwhile, Guy Haley’s Archmagos follows Cawl into a Necron world on a black hole’s edge, with Vashtorr looming and stakes that feel very Imperium Nihilus.
Dan Abnett’s Eisenhorn: Hereticus returns as an illustrated and annotated edition, packed with new art, commentary, and an afterword that fans will devour.
Furthermore, Renegades: Harrowmaster gets a special edition that suits Alpha Legion scheming, and The Twice-Dead King Omnibus bundles Nate Crowley’s Necron epics with extra tales for dynasty diehards.
On Warhammer+, Arena of Death serves an all-vehicles dust-up, Loremasters digs into uneasy Order alliances, and Tale of Four Painters wraps with a 3,000-point Heresy reflection that will push you to finish that last unit.
Final Thoughts
This slate balances crunchy skirmish content with holiday fun and heavyweight lore. Dead Silence invites cagey plays and cinematic stealth, while Deathwatch and Canoptek Circle open new roster puzzles. The merch drop is delightfully silly, yet it still lands practical gifts fans will actually use. Finally, the reading and streaming lineup bridges past and present, which keeps the wider universe humming while you paint. Grab a brush, pick a team, and make some noise.
