The new edition of Warhammer 40,000 is just around the corner, and to celebrate, it’s an Armageddon week on Warhammer TV. Battle Report is free to watch and features a game of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, the Black Library Book Club celebrates Ghazgkhkull Thraka, and Brainboyz tests its contestants on the history of the planet.
Battle Report
On Monday, we streamed the first three live games of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. Now, Warhammer TV is getting in on the act, and you can watch the action for free!
Here’s a sneaky trailer to whet your appetite:
Presenters Josh and Si take command of the Space Marines and Orks, using the contents of the Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon boxed set as the basis for their armies. We quickly grabbed Josh to ask him about the game.
WarCom: What were you most excited about before the big match-up?
Josh: Seeing how the Space Marines worked in the new edition. I used the classic Gladius Task Force detachment from Codex: Space Marines, so I went for the Priority Assets Force Disposition. I couldn’t wait to see how they’d cope with whatever the Orks were going to throw at me.
WarCom: What’s your favourite thing about the new edition so far?
Josh: The Force Dispositions totally expand on the attitude we as players have when it comes to mustering an army. I love that when I'm writing my army list, I can have greater control over the missions I want to play and that I can build my army with that in mind. It's tremendous fun, and it's a great driving force to build a collection that can tackle all kinds of missions!
WarCom: What was your favourite moment in the battle?
Josh: It's hard to pick a favourite moment – harder than picking a target for Oath of Moment, that's for sure! If I had to choose one, it would be when my Chaplain with Jump Pack [++CENSORED BY ORDER OF THE INQUISITION++].
If you want to see exactly what Josh’s Chaplain did, you’ll just have to watch the free episode of Battle Report!
Our spies also managed to get the army lists used in the battle, so you can get a feel for what a Strike Force-sized army looks like, and get some inspiration for building out the contents of the box once it’s in your hands.

The Beast of Armageddon is the star of Black Library Book Club, as Ed, Chris, and Alex discuss Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh!. This modern classic by Nate Crowley tells the story of Ghazghkull through the eyes of someone who knows him extremely well – his faithful banner-bearing grot, Makari.
