Games Workshop dropped two very different updates, but both have plenty for hobby fans. First, the Armageddon campaign keeps building real mechanical identity.
Meanwhile, Warhammer TV adds more character-driven spectacle and hobby content. So, whether you like list design or background flavor, there is something to chew on here.
Space Marine armor gets two detachments built for speed, pressure, and brutal firepower
The big 40k update gives Space Marines two new detachments for Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick, and both clearly love vehicles. First, the Headhunter Task Force turns Marine tanks into true tank aces. Its core rule gives TANK ACE units a flat extra 6 inches when they Advance.
However, if they stay steady instead, they can re-roll Damage in shooting. That is a very clean tradeoff. So, you either reposition hard or plant your feet and fire like executioners.
Even better, most Astartes vehicles gain the TANK ACE keyword, excluding fortifications, Drop Pods, walkers, and flying units. Then, up to three of those vehicles can gain the CHARACTER keyword, which means Enhancements and even a tank Warlord. That is extremely funny, but it is also genuinely useful. Redoubtable Machine Spirit adds a 5+ invulnerable save and wound recovery.
Meanwhile, Gunnery Honours gives one re-roll each for hit, wound, and damage once per phase. The Stratagems also lean hard into anti-armor work, with Kill Shot improving wound output and Target Weak Point boosting AP against Monsters and Vehicles.
Then the Armoured Speartip detachment flips from gunnery to transport aggression. Units disembarking from moved transports get extra movement, and HEAVY TRANSPORTS like Land Raiders and Repulsors do it better.
Liberator helps hold objectives even while your transport rolls onward. Meanwhile, Machine Wrath lets a dying Heavy Transport lurch forward before exploding, which is exactly the kind of cinematic nonsense players love.
Purgation Doctrine then rewards the infantry pouring out by boosting Hit rolls, and sometimes Wound rolls too. Altogether, one detachment rewards precise armored hunting, while the other rewards rolling straight into the enemy’s face.
Titus returns with a bigger fight, deeper lore, and a strong hobby bundle
The Warhammer TV update is shorter, but it covers a nice spread of content. First, Battle Report brings in Captain Titus for his first appearance after promotion. What starts as cultist cleanup quickly turns ugly, because the Thousand Sons are back and sending in escalating reinforcements.
So, the setup feels very much like Space Marine 2 spilling onto the tabletop. Titus also gets reserves, which means the episode sounds built around momentum swings and heroic last stands.
Meanwhile, Weapons and Wargear digs into servitors and servo-skulls, explaining how they are made and what they actually do across the Imperium. That is exactly the kind of grim detail lore fans tend to love.
Then Warhammer Colour Masterclass heads to Commorragh to cover the Kabal of the Black Heart, focusing on near-black armour, green highlights, and advanced freehand work.
Finally, another White Dwarf issue joins the Vault, closing a Chaos series with Khorne, Angron, and Korghos Khul’s rise to daemonhood. So, taken together, this is a strong mix of battle content, setting texture, painting tuition, and archive support for subscribers.
