Next week’s pre-orders are a neat little mix of heavy armor, Black Library nostalgia, and side content for Warhammer TV.
So, even though this is not the biggest preview ever, it still has a lot to offer. The headline is clearly the pair of Horus Heresy tanks, and both look built for players who like their Space Marine armies loud and unapologetically brutal. Meanwhile, the rest of the update keeps things varied with an Eisenhorn omnibus, new streaming content, and a tease for more Armageddon coverage to come.
Two new Horus Heresy tanks bring serious firepower and battlefield presence
The real stars here are the Falchion Super-Heavy Tank Destroyer and the Spartan Prometheus Assault Tank, and both hit very different battlefield roles. First, the Falchion is pure tank-hunting excess. Its neutron-wave cannon is framed as the answer to enemy armor and Knights, which immediately tells you this thing exists to ruin somebody’s centerpiece model.
Moreover, the extra sponson options let players tune it toward even more anti-tank punch or broader supporting fire. By contrast, the Spartan Prometheus feels like a more flexible war machine. It is still a massive slab of armor, but it combines transport utility with serious guns, which makes it feel like the kind of vehicle that drags an elite unit into the heart of the fight and then keeps contributing afterward.
So, together these kits cover two classic Horus Heresy fantasies: one is the giant executioner tank, while the other is the rolling assault bunker.
Eisenhorn returns while Warhammer TV and Community keep the wider hobby rolling
The other half of the update is smaller, but it still has plenty of appeal. The French paperback edition of Eisenhorn: The Omnibus bundles Xenos, Malleus, Hereticus, The Magos, and three short stories, which is a very chunky way to revisit one of Black Library’s defining characters.
Meanwhile, the eBook version arriving in the Black Library app gives that release a wider reach. On the streaming side, Warhammer TV sounds busy as well, with Kragnos vs Cogforts on Battle Report, a Weapons and Wargear episode on realmstone, and Drew Paliès appearing on Painting Desk.
Then White Dwarf 517 joins the Vault, while Warhammer Community promises more Faction Focus articles and fresh rules previews for miniatures from the Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon box. Altogether, this feels like a compact but satisfying update, with the Heresy tanks doing the heavy lifting and the rest of the content giving hobbyists a few extra reasons to stay tuned.
