It’s 2026 – a brand new year, so what’s on the horizon? We know that the Maggotkin of Nurgle are plodding into pre-order this weekend, and we already have our tickets booked to visit the 500 Worlds of Ultramar and Grand Cathay, and that’s only the start of what is set to be a bumper year for Warhammer.
Well, we’re only one day in and here’s news of the Warhammer first preview show of the year!
The New Year Warhammer Preview Live! 2026 will be beamed across the world from right here at Warhammer World. Adam and Eddie will be your hosts, guiding you through all the awesome new reveals. Did you catch the subtle hints as to what might be coming in the video?
We can confirm The New Year preview will cover Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and Blood Bowl.
One thing that seems like a good bet for this preview is that we’ll find out more about Huron Blackheart’s Red Corsairs and the turbulent realm of the Maelstrom. Some of you might even have heard the reports, and seen the warp-distorted pict captures of battles from that cursed region.
We know that Huron isn’t pirating alone, and today we can show you one of his most loyal followers: This is Garreon the Corpsemaster – former Chief Apothecary of the Astral Claws, and rumoured to be one responsible for piecing Huron back together after he met the wrong end of a meltagun at the Siege of Badab.
He’s just one of a veritable battle barge full of new Corsairs*, sailing your way soon. You can see more of Huron, Garreon and the rest of the Red Corsairs live in the Preview show.
The show will be going out live at 7:30pm on the 16th of January, and you can watch it all on either Twitch or YouTube. And of course, we’ll have all the details and the massive photos of miniatures right here on Warhammer Community as soon as they’re revealed on the live stream.
So, file the date and time in your new 2026 calendar and we’ll see you right back here on WarCom for a sensational preview show!
* The Red Corsairs are not the only piratical force abroad across the stars… we’re hearing that there might be even faster and pointier pirates about too, but you’ll have to wait a little longer for full news on that.
