This release wave does more than trade on nostalgia. Instead, it pushes new characters, new battalions, and a fresh campaign book all at once.
The character line-up is doing most of the heavy lifting here, and honestly it is a strong mix. Yarrick is the obvious headliner, because his return finally gives the campaign a proper Imperial icon again.
Meanwhile, Wazdakka brings the exact opposite energy, with raw speed, a custom warbike, and rules that make Ork Warbikers Battleline. Then the wider cast fills in the flanks nicely.
Commissar Graves arrives both mounted in her customised Centaur RSV, Vigilance, and on foot, which gives the release some real flexibility.
Intranzia Fraye adds Adepta Sororitas fire support from the wonderfully theatrical Throne of Blame.
Then Inquisitor Kroyle rounds things out as a mounted alien-hunter carrying a monster-killing tox-cycler on his Garralisk steed.
Alongside them come four Armageddon Battalion boxes. Astra Militarum gets the new Hippogriff AFV and Centaur RSV first, plus a Rogal Dorn and Cadian Shock Troops for the new Armoured Infantry Detachment.
Orks get a proper Speedwaaagh! starter with Deffkoptas, a Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy, and a Deffkilla Wartrike.
Deathwatch shows up in a very thematic anti-xenos box with 10 Veterans and a Corvus Blackstar.
Meanwhile, Adepta Sororitas gets a mixed force of a Palatine, three Paragon Warsuits, 10 Novitiates, nine Repentia, and a Repentia Superior.
Then the whole thing is tied together by Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick, which bundles lore, vehicle-heavy Armoured Gauntlet rules, and six new Detachments for Astra Militarum, Orks, and Space Marines.
Even the themed Yarrick and Ghazghkull dice make sense here, because this wave is clearly selling the war itself as much as the kits.
Dont forget, the LVO tickets are also onsale while they last! Whether you’re aiming for the top table in Warhammer 40k and many other game systems, looking to master new techniques in the Hobby Hub, or just want to shop the massive Exhibitor Hall, the LVO is the ultimate hobby vacation.
