The first codex of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 is on its way and the war horns of Ghazghkull’s horde sound across Armageddon. There’s also a bounty of Made to Order miniatures for the Skaven and Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game incoming.
Warhammer 40,000 – Codex: Orks
The first codex of the new edition is almost here, and it’s packed with new rules, lore, and artwork to devour. It features 15 detachments to mix and match, plus an expanded Waaagh! army rule and datasheets for over 50 units.
Codex: Orks also includes a code to unlock access to the new rules in the Warhammer 40,000 app, and this time you get more than just a reference sheet. This code is an ongoing subscription to regular rules updates, additional detachments, new lore, and advanced hobby guides that will be added to the app.
If you fancy something worthy of a real Flash Git, you could also get the Collector’s Edition of the codex, with a full hardback cover and beautiful gold foil details all over, plus green foil page edges and a green ribbon page marker. The content inside is the same as the regular codex, and it’s only available while stocks last.
Warhammer 40,000 – Nazdreg
As a Bad Moons warlord of incredible wealth and one of Ork society’s greatest proponents of tellyporta technology, Nazdreg has amassed immense power and stands as one of the premier Ork warbosses around. He’s got plenty of brute strength and powerful weapons to back up his cunning mind, ranging from his vicious Moonchewa power klaw to the three-in-one firearm he carries known only as Kustom Blasta X.
Please note that Nazdreg has been delayed in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
Warhammer 40,000 – Warboss
Lead your Boyz into battle with the biggest and ‘ardest boss around – the mighty Warboss. This kit comes with loads of customisation options – he can be armed with a kustom choppa or power klaw, and kustom shoota, kombi-rokkit or kombi-skorcha. He also has numerous cosmetic options, including an attack squig, different boss pole toppers, and mix-and-match head and jaw options.
Please note that the Warboss has been delayed in Japan and Korea.
Warhammer 40,000 – Mek
Repair your vehicles and give them a quick fix in the field with a new Ork Mek – an expert in the field of Ork ‘engineering’. They’re an important aide for hordes of clanking Dreads and roaring Ork vehicles, and the clever git has even brought his own crane to the battlefield for hasty repair jobs.
Warhammer 40,000 – Boyz
An Ork horde lives and dies on the strength of its Boyz, and now they’re more ready for war than ever. Each model carries a shoota, slugga, and choppa, so you can muck it up at whatever range has the best fighting, while three lucky Boyz can take a big shoota, rokkit launcha, and burna for extra firepower. The Nob gets an extra killy power klaw to strap to their arm too, because the biggest should always get the best weapons.
Warhammer 40,000 – Warbikers
Those Orks who become obsessed with speed but can’t leave the madcap brutality of their choppa-swinging days behind mount up on ramshackle warbikes to plunge headlong into the enemy before they can react. These resilient bikes are covered in haphazard armour plates and pack rapid-fire dakkaguns, with the option for a kombi-rokkit on the squad leader.
Warhammer 40,000 – Trukk
Mount up and hit the front lines faster than those other poor foot-slogging Boyz thanks to the raw speed and convenience of a rickety Trukk. This update to the classic kit features multiple optional add-on parts like a grabbin’ klaw, buzzsaw, and our personal favourite, a big spiked ram, plus loads of cosmetic parts so you can personalise your madcap creation.
Warhammer 40,000 – Orks Command Pack and Dice
We’ve done cards before, we’ve done tokens before, but now you get all of the gaming accessories you could possibly need in one convenient package called a Command Pack. This invaluable companion for your Orks army contains 94 reference cards covering all 15 detachments in the Codex – their detachment rules, enhancements, and stratagems – plus a set of 36 double-sided tokens for tracking various rules and statuses.
Finish off your collection with a set of 16 premium dice cast in a properly Orky mottled green plastic, with red pips and the faction logo on the six face.
Warhammer 40,000 – Armageddon Ork Solo Releases
Some of the kits from the Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon box also get standalone releases next week, such as the immense firepower of the Big Mek Dakkarig. You can also get the Weirdboy, the Wartrakk, and the Kommand Krew made up of the Bannernob, Bigboss, and Painboy (with his little grot orderly).
Please note that the Dakkarig is delayed in Japan and Korea, and the Weirdboy and Wartrakk are delayed in Japan.

Black Library – Deathwatch (Special Edition)
The classic tale of the elite Talon Squad – first released back in 2013 and winner of the 2025 Reader’s Choice vote – returns in a glorious new Special Edition of Deathwatch by Steve Parker. It’s a gripping account of the squad’s descent into the planet of 31-Caro on the orders of a mysterious Inquisitor Lord, who tasks them with eliminating a murderous shadow preying upon the Imperium’s faithful.

Black Library – Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh! (Illustrated and Annotated Edition)
The dubious account of Ghazghkull’s rise as told by his captured banner-grot Makari is the next novel to get the Illustrated and Annotated Edition treatment, following on from The Infinite and the Divine and For the Emperor. This new version of Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh! by Nate Crowley is packed with new insights from the author and illustrations to set the scene, making it well worth a re-read.
Black Library – Bjorn: The Fell-Handed (Hardback)
The oldest ‘living’ Space Marine defends his homeworld from the arrival of the Death Guard in Bjorn: The Fell-Handed by Justin D Hill. Bjorn is one of the most legendary Dreadnoughts in the history of the Adeptus Astartes, and he brings all of his ageless wisdom and immense combat skill to bear as enemies bear down on Fenris and the Space Wolves rally to throw them off-world.
Bjorn: The Fell-Handed will be available in hardback, and also digital editions via the Black Library app.
Black Library – Demolisher (Paperback)
Hadeya Etsul and the crew of the Leman Russ Demolisher Steel Tread are assigned to a convoy tasked with escorting a commissar through contested territory. Not only is an enemy stalking from afar, but a new crew member is causing problems with the hard-won synergy of the crew. The follow-on from Andy Clark’s Steel Tread, Demolisher continues the story of the campaign on the Warp-cursed world of Croatoas in a new paperback edition.
Black Library – Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords (French and German Editions)
Ghazghkull Thraka has chosen the Blood Axe world of Gabal for a titanic showdown with the Black Templars, and not all of his Boyz are happy about it. Slitta da Stabba, a new warboss of the Blood Axes, finds himself caught between treacherous allies, vengeful crusaders, and the unstoppable momentum of the Warlord of Warlords himself. He must choose a side – fast!
Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords by Denny Flowers will be available in French- and German-language paperback editions, and also digitally via the Black Library app.
This week on Warhammer+, Scribes and Scriveners is joined by Black Library author Marc Collins to talk about his experiences writing within the myriad worlds of Warhammer, Battle Report features the debut of the new Ork Warboss Nazdreg as he tackles Nekrosor Ammentar and two C’tan Shards, and Armies of Renown looks over James’ legendary Mentors collection that spans many editions of Warhammer 40,000.
