Black or Silver? New Codexes and Minis Drop for the Galaxy’s Monster‑Hunters

Warhammer 40,000 is dropping fresh tools for anyone who loves purging xenos and smiting heretics.

Two fan‑favorite forces headline the release wave: zealous Black Templars and secretive Grey Knights. Each faction is getting a full rules refresh, new characters, and thematic Combat Patrols. Moreover, Space Wolves and Tyranids snag their own patrol boxes, while novel readers score limited‑edition lore. Therefore hobby shelves and backlog piles are about to grow again.

The Eternal Crusade Marches On

Codex Supplement: Black Templars packs 96 pages of lore plus three Detachments and 18 datasheets. Consequently, your fervent crusaders gain new tricks without ditching the main Codex: Space Marines. A collector’s edition adds gold foil and a ribbon bookmark for true devotees.

  • Crusade Ancient waves a relic banner that jacks nearby zeal, and the kit supplies two banner faces.
  • Execrator swings a crozius while bellowing hate‑fueled sermons; it includes swappable heads, pistols, and relic options.

  • Combat Patrol: Black Templars fields an Emperor’s Champion, three Bladeguard, five Sword Brethren, and ten Crusaders. Extra transfer sheets push noble heraldry over the top.
  • Datasheet cards and 16 pearlised dice keep crusade admin tidy, so gameplay flows smoothly.

Grey Knights Guard the Empyrean

Codex: Grey Knights clocks in at 25 datasheets across five Detachments, therefore your daemon hunters stay elite yet flexible. A silver‑foiled collector’s edition mirrors Titan’s polished aesthetics.

  • Battleforce: Sanctic Conclave features a Grand Master Dreadknight with new flail and sublimator options, five Terminators, five Paladins, and twenty power‑armored brethren.
  • Combat Patrol: Grey Knights delivers Castellan Crowe, ten Strike Marines, five Terminators, and a Venerable Dreadnought for surgical strikes.

  • Thirty reference cards and pearlised grey dice keep rituals in line during table play.

Bonus Patrols and Fresh Plastic

Space Wolves charge in with Askar’s Wolfpack: a Battle Leader, ten Blood Claws, five Terminators, and five Wulfen.

Meanwhile, the Tyranid Assault Brood unleashes a Parasite of Mortrex, three Tyrant Guard, a Biovore, and ten Genestealers. Both boxes include generous transfer sheets to finish the look.
