#New40k – See the game played LIVE

We’ve shown you the contents of the launch box and a good smattering of the rules. Next week, you’ll be able to see the first ever games of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. 

On 25 May, we’ll be live from the Esports Stadium Arlington, in Texas, streaming three back-to-back-to-back games of the new Warhammer 40,000.

The first game will showcase the contents of the Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon boxed set, with two forces built out to Strike Force-sized armies to fight out the conflict on the infamous planet. We’ll get to see the new units in action, and get a feel for how they fit into a larger force. In fact, we can give you a little tease of that right now, as we share the army lists of the forces that you’ll be able to watch next Monday when the Blood Angels take on the Orks.

Our second game is a Community Clash between two guest players from our friends at Play On Tabletop. Can Nick (in the guise of Commander Shadowsun) lead the T’au Empire to victory against Tak, commanding Typhus and the Death Guard? Find out in a highly narrative game.

Finally, game three is a rematch of the 2026 Warhammer 40,000 World Championship final! Richard Siegler’s defiant Adeptus Mechanicus is led by the biomechanical genius Belisarius Cawl, and they face Liam VSL and a defiant Aeldari force featuring three legendary Phoenix Lords. With two armies tailored slightly for the new edition, who will come out on top this time? This is an amazing opportunity to see how the game plays in the hands of two of the world’s best Warhammer 40,000 players.  

So join us next week for three unmissable live games of Warhammer 40,000!
