Global debut of Codex: Space Marines on Warhammer TV

This week on Warhammer TV you can see the new Codex: Space Marines being used on the tabletop for the first time! Can the Angels of Death defeat a horde of ravening Tyranids?

Live today: Battle Report – Space Marines vs Tyranids

Earlier this week we showed off some of the new Space Marines datasheets, and now it’s time to see them in action! Jack, from the Warhammer Studio, helped write the new rules, so he commands the Imperium’s finest, while Battle Report presenter Josh is determined to spoil the party with a force of Tyranids.

Leading the Space Marines is a man who knows a fair bit about Codexes – Roboute Guilliman. He’s ably supported by a Captain and their Victrix Honour Guard, and an infantry-heavy list comprising Intercessors, Infiltrators, Desolation, and Infernus Marines. The Tacticus-armoured warriors will be seeking to take advantage of the Tacticus Attack Force detachment, which allows units with the TACTICUS keyword to re-roll advance rolls.

Providing heavier support are four Dreadnoughts – a Redemptor, a Brutalis, and a pair of Ballistus-pattern walkers. The Ironclad Champions detachment means they can ALL re-roll hit rolls of 1, making the interred champions even more accurate.

Here’s the full Strike Force-sized army list to give you an idea of what a force will look like with the new Codex.

Opposing the Adeptus Astartes is a Tyranids swarm led by a mighty Neurotyrant, channelling the will of the Hive Mind. Meanwhile, a Broodlord, Hormagaunts, Termagants, Genestealers, and an unholy collection of predators including a Norn Emissary, Biovore and Neurolictor create even more challenges for the Space Marines.

We’re only a couple of days away from Codex: Space Marines going on pre-order, so not only is this the first time you’ll see it on Battle Report, it’s the first time you’ll see it in action anywhere!
