The indomitable Space Marines are getting their Codex, new units, and standalone releases from the Armageddon box. Look to the skies and give thanks to the God-Emperor!
Warhammer 40,000 – Captain on Bike
Command a high speed assault from the saddle with a Captain on Bike. He can be armed with a master crafted power weapon, thunder hammer, or plasma pistol, and to position his bike in motion or resting with his foot down. It also includes five head options – two helmeted and three unhelmeted – to personalise your speedy leader. *
Warhammer 40,000 – Outrider Squad
Outriders use powerful bikes to roar across the battlefield before slamming into the enemy’s exposed flanks and hacking them to bits. Each squad of three comes with the choice of a power sword or thunder hammer for the sergeant, seven unhelmeted and three helmeted heads, and loads of extra pouches and accessories to make your riders distinct.
Warhammer 40,000 – Vanguard Veteran Squad with Jump Packs
The new Vanguard Veterans kit includes a plethora of new options, including a suite of combat shields for all five members and both power swords and power axes to represent their master-crafted power weapons. The sergeant also gets a fancy relic blade, which can be replaced with a power fist or thunder hammer if you need a little extra hitting power.
Warhammer 40,000 – Intercessor Squad
This new version of the Intercessors kit updates the classic Space Marine squad. This dynamic and highly customisable kit includes 13 different helmets split between three different marks, plus a power sword, power fist, and classic back banner for the Sergeant.
Warhammer 40,000 – Kaius Konorius
Once assigned to teach battle-brothers close combat skills on Macragge, the expert blademaster Kaius Konorius – a Chapter veteran who fought alongside Marneus Calgar and Chaplain Cassius as neophytes – has now ventured into the stars once again to serve as the Chapter Master’s personal champion. He’s equally skilled at skewering Characters as he is at mowing down hordes of lesser foes, and ensures the Leader of the unit he’s supporting is firmly protected against Precision attacks.**
Warhammer 40,000 – Standalone Armageddon Kits
Several of the units that first appeared in the Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon boxed set also get their standalone releases. The Champions of Armageddon** set includes a Chaplain with Jump Pack, Ancient, and three Eradicators with Heavy Bolters – all in their original push-fit incarnations – but if you want a few more Eradicators without the characters you can also pick them up in their own separate set. We also saw the return of the venerable Land Speeder**, and the new kit can be armed with your choice of onslaught gatling cannon or pyrecannon.
Warhammer 40,000 – Codex: Space Marines
Get your rules, lore, and hobby inspiration in the new Codex: Space Marines, a hefty 232 pages of collecting guides, updated datasheets, and an in-depth look inside a Space Marine fortress monastery. The regular edition is a softback book enclosed in a slipcase for display, while the rather snazzy Collector’s Edition has an extended, wraparound hardback cover with gold foil details, printed page edges, and a ribbon page marker. The Collector's Edition is only available while stocks last.
There’s also the option of the stunning Limited Edition set, an ultra-premium Codex with six swappable metal cover badges – bearing the icons of the more codex-compliant First Founding Chapters – that also includes six art prints, a metal Crux Terminatus, and the full Command Pack: Space Marines seen below. It’s a truly special display piece with limited stock available while stocks last, so if you fancy owning quite possibly the most beautiful Codex ever released, this is the one to get.
Warhammer 40,000 – Command Pack: Space Marines and Dice
The Command Pack is an invaluable companion for your army that contains 94 reference cards covering every detachment in the Codex – including detachment rules, enhancements, and stratagems – plus a set of 24 double-sided tokens for tracking Combat Doctrines, special rules, and secured objectives.
Finish off your collection with a set of 16 premium dice cast in silver with black pips, showing a stylised Crux Terminatus on the six face.
Both the dice and Command Pack are only available white stocks last.
Black Library – Helbrecht: Sin of Hope
High Marshal Helbrecht of the Black Templars returns in a new novel by Mike Vincent, as the firebrand Chapter Master continues his crusade against the Ruinous Powers spurred by a glimpse at a future with the Imperium renewed.
Helbrecht: Sin of Hope will be available in a Special Edition – available while stocks last – and standard hardback. This Special Edition will be available to pre-order on Wednesday 23 September at 3pm UK-time.
Black Library – Master of Rites
The Khorsari Reach has been lost to the Imperium for over a decade, its worlds claimed by the pestilent legions of the Death Guard. Ferren Areios, Captain of the Ultramarines Sixth Company, has pledged to cleanse these worlds and claim vengeance for the people slaughtered by the servants of Nurgle, but in doing so he may well be pushed to the limits of his Chapter’s creed.
Master of Rites by Rob Young will be up for pre-order in a new paperback edition.
Black Library – Dawn of Fire: Crusade of Vengeance
This omnibus contains the first three novels of the Dawn of Fire series, following the forces of the Imperium as they wreak the God-Emperor’s vengeance across the stars.
In Avenging Son by Guy Haley, this quest begins in blood as an Imperial fleet faces a dreaded Slaughter Host of Chaos. Roboute Guilliman leads a huge force towards a shrine world in The Gate of Bones by Andy Clark. In the midst of their own brutal war against rampaging ork hordes, the Space Wolves of Fenris have been called upon by Guilliman. They must choose whether to ally with their ancient rival in The Wolftime by Gav Thorpe.
Black Library – The Sundering
Witness the calamitous events that forever divided the elves of Ulthuan in The Sundering, a collected omnibus including the classic Warhammer novel trilogy Malerion, Shadow King, and Caledor by Gav Thorpe with the novella The Bloody-Handed and the short story The Dark Path. These stories tell the tale of the elves’ fall into civil war and endless bitter enmity, and set the stage for the battles between the High Elves and Dark Elves that would last until the end of the Old World.
This week on Warhammer TV, the Space Marines take on deadly Tyranid foes in a world first Battle Report spectacular, showcasing the new Codex: Space Marines rules for the first time. It’s enough to get you raring to build and paint a new strike force, so you’ll want some expert tips from Warhammer Studio miniatures designer and paint maestro Darren Latham on this week’s Painting Desk.
Here at Warhammer Community, we’ve got a big week of delicious Space Marine content ahead of us, with rules previews, detachment reveals, and loads more from the new Codex. It’s so much to get through that we don’t even have a miniature to show off tomorrow, but don’t worry – we’re announcing something even cooler instead!
