Chaos Knights are on the rampage, and they have a whole new kind of Knight with which to terrorise the battlefield. If you’re feeling like taking refuge in the Age of Darkness, then you’re out of luck there, too – as the latest compilation of Horus Heresy stories arrives with a fantastic special edition
Codex: Chaos Knights
Sound the warhorns and strike primal terror into the hearts of mortal men with the towering mockeries of honour and chivalry known as the Chaos Knights – enormous combat walkers turned to the worship of Chaos by their duplicitous pilots. Codex: Chaos Knights contains brand new rules and detachments for your army – including the new Knight Ruinator variant – along with extensive background lore about their turncoat houses and loads of gorgeous miniature photography.
Alongside the regular Codex, a premium collector’s edition will also be available, singling out the true nobles from the War Dogs, featuring beautiful alternate artwork, green foil on the front, back, and page edges, and a black ribbon page marker. This edition is available while stocks last.
Knight Ruinator
Take the fight to the corpse-worshippers with a new close-range variant for the mighty Questoris Knight, the Knight Ruinator. Grind your prey to paste with a monstrous fellbore, roast them alive with the cursed flames of the darkflame lance, and pulverise their morale with a battery of terrorpulse missiles – it’s a complete morale-busting package!
This kit is the new core Questoris Knight box for Chaos Knights armies, and as such comes with all the parts to make the other variants too – the Knight Desecrator, Knight Rampager, and Knight Abominant. It also comes with a sheet of 339 Chaos Knights transfers, featuring livery from many of the most notorious houses.
Battleforce: Houndpack Lance
The new Codex: Chaos Knights contains a Detachment specially designed to represent a roving band of vicious War Dogs who operate without a larger master’s supervision, and the Houndpack Lance battleforce is the perfect way to get just such an army started. The box contains seven plastic War Dogs with options to build each one as a Stalker, Karnivore, or Brigand, as well as four full War Dog transfer sheets containing 238 transfers.
Chaos Knights Datasheet Cards and Dice
Too busy stomping on Imperial citizens to read your rules? This pack of 12 datasheet cards for Chaos Knights armies will keep you in the fray. Pair them with a pack of 16 dice themed after the fallen House Herpetrax, with green pips on a pearlescent white background and the sigil of the House on the six face.
Maple Highgrove and Swiftvine Glimmershard
Get double the star power when Maple Highgrove and Swiftvine Glimmershard come to Blood Bowl in a pack containing both resin Star Players – who couldn’t be less alike. Swiftvine is a volatile and ruthless spite known for her frequent bloody outbursts, while Maple is a tall and gentle Treeman just starting his Blood Bowl career, for whom the glitz and glamour of the game has not yet been dimmed by violent adversaries and incessant crowds.
The Oathmaker
When Saruman set out to conquer the lands of Rohan, the first of the Dunlendings to heed his call was a chieftain now known only as the Oathmaker, who swore to serve the White Wizard even in death. This Forge World resin character makes all other Dunland models nearby Fearless, and they fight with even greater fervour while Saruman strides the battlefield alongside them.
This miniature was previously available in a pack with two other characters, and is now flying solo for the first time.
White Dwarf 513
Chaos returns to White Dwarf with a Khorne-packed issue, filled with blood, gore, and all the good stuff. Issue 513 delves into the Blood God’s background, forms a new Combat Patrol led by a Slaughterbound, and asks the question we’ve all been dying to hear the answer to: “What does a howling mad World Eaters army built by a calm and collected world snooker champion look like?”
It’s not confined to the 41st Millennium either, as the notorious leader of the Goretide, Korghos Khul, ascends to daemonhood with a new legends warscroll for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Even the Heresy-era World Eaters get in on the action, and we find out just what the relationship between Khorne and his arch-rival Slaanesh looks like.
Siege of Terra: Era of Ruin
The Siege of Terra is over. Horus is dead, and the Emperor has been interred on the Golden Throne. A battle-scarred Imperium and those who orbit around it pick through the pieces and discover what comes next in Era of Ruin, a new anthology of eight short stories by Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, John French and more.
This incredible tome of fascinating tales – following mighty Custodians, lowly Imperial Army soldiers, and many more in between – will be available to pre-order in a regal special edition featuring a leather-effect cover with gold foil details, gilt page edges, and a metal emblem representing the Imperium’s tragically ruined future.
NOTE: This edition is available while stocks last – and will have a special preorder window. It will go on sale in all regions at 10am BST on Tuesday 10th June. A queue system will be in place at this time on Warhammer.com to ensure the fairest possible distribution.
This compilation will also be available in all the usual versions, including hardback, eBook, and mp3 audiobook editions, which will go on sale on Saturday 7th June at the normal time, alongside all the rest of the products featured in this article.

Luther: First of the Fallen
Delve into the character and motivations of Lion El’Jonson’s closest friend – and bitterest foe – like never before in Luther: First of the Fallen by Gav Thorpe. The Protector of Caliban embodies the duality at the heart of the Dark Angels, and the story behind his fall to Chaos is one of the most curious in the annals of the Horus Heresy. This classic novel is now coming back to shelves in a new paperback edition.

Yarrick: Imperial Creed
Before he was the Old Man of Armageddon, Sebastian Yarrick was a humble Commissar serving in the Astra Militarum – until an uprising of nobles turned the planet Mistral on its head. Here, the legend of Yarrick was born, as Chaos cults and strange allies tested the young officer to his limits and forged his ironclad will in a crucible of blood.
Yarrick: Imperial Creed by David Annandale is now coming to Black Library in a new audiobook format.
This week on Warhammer+, Josh is joined by Warhammer Age of Sigmar Lead Designer Matt to talk all about army building in a new Matched Play show, Victory Pointers. Loremasters gets ready for the new edition of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy with a walk along the timeline of the Great Crusade – from Terran unity to the sparks of heresy – while Citadel Colour Masterclass goes grimy when painting rot-marked Nurgle armour.
Here at Warhammer Community, we get to answer the burning question “How Cool is 7 Cool?” in an exciting first look at new rules from Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, including the new characteristics for units and weapons, and the mysterious Tactical Statuses. Also, the Chaos Knights are stomping all over the place – no doubt excited for their upcoming pre-orders.
