Saturday Pre-orders – The Space Wolves bare their fangs

Is it getting chilly around here or is it just us? Perhaps it has something to do with the imminent arrival of the Space Wolves, who bring the icy winds of Fenris with them as part of their ferocious new army set. On top of that, updates for Matched Play and Crusade games give you plenty of new ways to do battle in the 41st Millennium – and if there’s one thing the Space Wolves love, it’s doing battle.

Space Wolves Army Set

The sons of the Allfather are baring their fangs against heretics and xenos alike as the Space Wolves Army Set unleashes supremely savage Space Marines into the 41st Millennium. A Wolf Guard Battle Leader and Wolf Priest are primed to lead this force into battle, their retinue composed of three Wolf Guard Headtakers and their loyal Hunting Wolves, 10 young and belligerent Blood Claws, and 10 patient and cunning Grey Hunters.

This is also the first place you can get the new Codex Supplement: Space Wolves, a 104-page book with special cover art of the sons of Russ in action, gold foil on the cover and page edges, and a black ribbon page marker. The box also comes with a set of 25 datasheet cards that cover all of your units – as well as your Army Rule and Combat Patrol datasheets – and a new Space Wolves transfers sheet with 419 decals. This set is available while stocks last. 

Chapter Approved 2025-26: Mission Deck

The next year of Warhammer 40,000 Matched Play is rolling in with the Chapter Approved 2025-26 Mission Deck, which acts as the core mission pack for both competitive and casual Matched Play. This season’s core mechanic is the Challenger  Deck, which grants players a chance to even the odds with powerful Stratagems and unique missions, meaning matches remain tense down to the wire. This new mechanic works alongside the standard deployment maps, primary and secondary missions, and twist cards you’re used to.

Rules and deployment cards for 1,000-point Incursion missions lend tighter balance to smaller games, and new rules for Asymmetric War missions provide you with a unique, casual approach suited to 2,000+ point games. Also included are six 40mm cardboard tokens designed for use as objectives and a 12-page rules insert on how to use the deck. 

Warhammer 40,000 Crusade: Armageddon 

Armageddon cannot catch a break, and Angron and his World Eaters have chosen the beleaguered planet as the target of their next war against the Imperium. Warhammer 40,000 Crusade: Armageddon provides you with all the tools needed to structure a narrative Crusade campaign around the battle for the Fire Wastes. New Crusade badges give you something to fight for as you grow your army with unique upgrades and do battle with 16 new narrative missions. A six-page gatefold includes rules references and pages you can copy for your own use.

No matter your stance on Armageddon’s continued survival, you can upgrade to a fancier Crusade experience with a Collector’s Edition – which features a soft-touch cover with details picked out in gold foil, printed page edges, and a black ribbon bookmark. These will be available while stocks last.

Battlezone: Manufactorum Terrain

With new Matched Play and Crusade supplements incoming, why not spruce up that battlefield of yours with some Manufactorum Terrain. Guaranteed to give any table that gothic-industrial je ne sais quoi that will elevate your games of Warhammer 40,000. You can pre-order the Thermoexchanger Shrine and Autochoral Transmitter, which work as battlefield debris and statuary, and the Sub-cloister and Storage Fane, which can be used as ruins.*

Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work

As the Archmagos Dominus of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Belisarius Cawl has toiled for millennia in order to aid the Imperium at large, though his most audacious and quasi-heretical experiments have drawn much criticism. His personal quest is to complete his so-called Great Work, and in pursuit of this mysterious goal, he has travelled to Sothas – the long-dead homeworld of the Scythes of the Emperor – in pursuit of an integral piece of his plan. Naturally, such an important artefact is well hidden, and a terrible threat looms over it. But Cawl has not come this far to leave empty handed. 

Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work by Guy Haley is available to pre-order in a special edition featuring a fabric cover with gold foil blocking, gold page edges, and a red ribbon bookmark. All copies are numbered and signed by the author, and are available while stocks last.

Valedor

Ravaged by Hive Fleet Kraken, Craftworld Iyanden maintains a constant vigil against the Great Devourer. When a deflected tendril finds its way back to them, Prince Yriel harbours fears that it may combine with a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan, to create a horrifying and unstoppable genetic fusion. 

In the audiobook of Valedor by Guy Haley, Craftworld Iyanden teams up with Craftwold Biel-Tan and even the raiders of Commorragh in an attempt to save a maiden world from the oncoming Tyranid threat.

Legends of the Wolf: The Omnibus (German and French Editions)

French and German readers alike get to enjoy one of the greatest Space Wolves sagas in print as Chris Wraight’s trilogy is bundled with the short story Kraken in Legends of the Wolf: The Omnibus. These four tales trace the trials and tribulations of the Járnhamar pack as they battle to defend themselves and the galaxy from terrible threats. It is available in both paperback and eBook formats.
