Games Workshop just dropped some serious teasers about next week’s new release lineup, and it’s the Sons of Sanguinius!

GW revealed a few teasers about the upcoming releases next week in addition to what we saw at the 40k Open on Saturday.

Codex: Blood Angels brings the scions of Baal into the new era of Warhammer 40,000 in full. This is one of the most exciting codexes in the post-Gathering Storm galaxy, featuring a wealth of new lore and a huge volume of new units, too. Inside, you’ll find how the Blood Angels are recovering – and even thriving – after their world was almost annihilated by Hive Fleet Leviathan, and how the latest wave of Primaris reinforcements are being accepted by the rest of the Chapter.

The new codex will also see the Blood Angels able to add a range of Primaris units to their army. To help, there’s a series of kits on the way, each featuring a unique Blood Angels upgrade frame containing weapons, shoulder pads and heads designed to make your squads fit with the rest of your Blood Angels collection. This frame will be available separately, too!

Lieutenant Tolmeron will also be available to order alongside the codex this weekend to boot!

The Elfheim Eagles are also on the way for Blood Bowl’s quarterly releases as well some new accessories to boot!

Accompanying the Elfheim Eagles is a range of accessories designed to make managing your Blood Bowl team simple, with team cards and skill bands. These are can be used to track special plays, players and skills gained during tournaments, and are a great way to avoid any mucking around with notepads and bits of scrap paper during your games.

The inaugural Blood Bowl Almanac is the perfect companion for every Blood Bowl player, combining rules from Death Zone Season One! and Death Zone Season Two!, plus much more besides. Within, you’ll find rules for everything from running your own leagues to arranging sponsorships for your players and using squigs as balls.

December’s release picture is starting to “snap” into focus with some convenient sightings of the new White Dwarf and Games Workshop’s reveal today
