GW is keeping us loaded with releases to look forward to all summer long in 2019. Check out what we know is still on way for later this year!
Games Workshop has a whole plethora of different games to manage nowadays. But they’ve definitely had no problem keeping content new and exciting via Warhammer Community. It’s hard to keep up with the pace of releases that are on the way but here’s the whole comprehensive list we can keep our eyes peeled for.
Here is where we stand before we roll into new previews from Warhammer Fest this weekend!
Forge World: Adeptus Titanicus Titanicus Bits
These releases were previewed back at the Horus Heresy Weekender. The bits are going to go to a whole host of different Titans in Titanicus. From the shield-breaking firepower of dual Gatling cannons on the Warlord to a massive Titan-leveling missile on the top of a Reaver, there’s a lot of firepower on the way to the game.
We’ve already seen the Doom of Molech book come out so our guess is that these are next in line!
Horus Heresy White Scars, Blood Angels & More
Kyzagan Assault Speeder
Ebon Keshig Terminators
Chapter Master Raldoron
Contemptor-Incaendius Class Dreadnought
Lucius-Pattern Dreadnought Drop Pod
Knight Akastus Asterius
All of these things on top of a sprinkling of more White Scars were previewed back at the Horus Heresy Weekender as well. Now, we’ve seen the release of the White Scars Contemptor and Cataphractii Praetor, but all the other things from above are still on the way with no release date in sight.
keeping our eyes locked on Horus Heresy, we know that Daemons of the Ruinstorm are also in the picture now. While they all have their rules, we haven’t seen any official 30k Daemons spotted. Could Forge World just be leaving it up to the player to use the existing Daemon models for Heresy?
Necromunda Models & Bits
Artwork for Future Necromunda Characters
Yar Umbra & the Deserter Necromunda Bounty Hunters
Hangers-On Sculpts for Necromunda
Necromunda Squat Ragnir Gunnstein
House Delaque Upgrade Bits
The final thing on the list for what was spotted at the Horus Heresy Weekender are these Necromunda bits and models. We’ve got a lot of exciting new characters in the works and if you don’t feel like making your own Hangers-on, you can get a couple of pre-made sculpts!
More Traitor Guardsmen in Blackstone Fortress
With the first set of Traitor Guardsmen seen in the original Blackstone Fortress boxed game, an expansion showcasing a Traitor Commissar and Bullgryn are on the way.
Traitor Command is a new adventure pack for Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress that sees you descend into darkness to crush a growing Chaos threat. You’ll face terrifying new hostiles with the Traitor Commissar and Chaos Ogryn, find strange and powerful new gear, and forge alliances with unlikely friends in Precipice…
40k’s Apocalypse Game
Also previewed at Adepticon 2019, 40k Apocalypse is coming! Do you want to bring all of your models out to play but don’t want to spend the entire weekend moving around plastic and resin? Well, Apocalypse may be right for you! This Box Set is designed for you to play massive 40k games that you can get done within the span of a few hours.
The way things are looking, from the time we see solid previews on a GW game, there’s Roughly a two-month turn around time. One thing is for sure. We should still be expecting a steady stream of releases into all sorts of GW’s projects all throughout 2019.
New Skitarii Vehicle Foreshadowed
First previewed at the Australian Championship: Using the classic Skitarii language (jumbled up numbers and beep-boops or binary whichever) a Ranger went to the master of sacred armories for a request of a new vehicle. But this isn’t just any vehicle…he’s asking for a means of new transport. After asking time after time he finally gets granted permission for a new vehicle.
We know this isn’t just a rumor that’s going to vanish into thin air. This is for the simple fact that it’s coming from GW. So what would it mean for the faction to get a new transport? Well, historically speaking, Ad Mech/Skitarii are one of the slower “grinding advance” factions that have incredible shooting. They just lack some real speed compared to races like Dark Eldar. If a cheap, reliable transport was placed into the faction’s arsenal, we might begin to see more competitive lists pop up on competitive tables.
Imagine some kind of massive Onager-type transport that was capable of carrying something like twenty dudes. Having that roll up onto an objective could mean the end for whatever enemies are trying to hold it.
Chaos Knight Video Artwork Preview at Australian Championship
First, a mini codex and now Chaos may be getting new Heretic Knight upgrades or kits soon! Warhammer Community announced a Chaos preview for what appears to be new renegade knights for Warhammer 40k at the Australian Championship as well.
Get ready for carnage on a colossal scale. There will be more news about these heretical Knights real soon.
True exemplars of honour, fealty and duty could never fall to darkness, right. RIGHT?! Duncan is NOT going to be happy…
Normally once we see these previews the actual release is around 3 months out before we see them on store shelves. After the success of the Imperial Knight codex, Dominus, and Armiger releases last summer, it is probably a safe bet that a Chaos release that follows the new Heretic Space Marines is sure to do just as well!
Iron Hands Primaris Character Spotted
We think it’s safe to say the wait was worth it! This named Iron Father will be hitting shelves (and your opponents) later this year…
Rather unexpectedly, the Iron Hands got a named Primaris character coming to their faction. This took us by surprise for the fact that GW decided to show love to a very minor chapter in 40k. Could this guy be the first of many new characters coming to chapters across the Imperium?
AoS Munchkin Game
Warhammer Age of Sigmar Munchkin is coming! The endless possibilities of the Mortal Realms combined with the endless hilarity of Munchkin – this is going to be epic!
This was first announced during a preview at GAMA. It didn’t take long for GW to work with Steve Jackson Games again in making AoS Munchkin. Especially after how successful 40k Munchkin has proven to be in the community. Keep your eyes peeled for cards!
Forbidden Power AoS Expansion & Modular Terrain
Forbidden power is going to be an AoS expansion continuing off of what first happened in the Soul Wars. The armies within the realms are discovering ancient powers that were hidden away from a time long ago. Get ready to see more endless spells that’ll be usable by any army.
Looking at the latest previews on Age of Sigmar from the Australian Championship, the Dominion of Sigmar modular terrain piece will be coming to the game.
The Dominion of Sigmar is a new range of super-modular, customisable and interchangeable scenery for Warhammer Age of Sigmar that lets you transform your tabletop into a battlefield worthy of the Mortal Realms’ fiercest conflicts. Think Sector Mechanicus or Sector Imperialis, but aimed at recreating the high fantasy feel of Sigmar’s kingdoms.
Each Dominion of Sigmar set can be built as a scenery piece with its own warscroll or can be mixed and matched with other sets to build anything you can imagine.
One thing to remember is that the terrain is the biggest we’ve seen yet. You’ll be able to place this on the table and configure it exactly how you need to in order to create choke points and block line of sight from the enemy. Hopefully, we don’t see this pop up in every single table in AoS. While it looks good and useful, things might get somewhat bland if we only see players using this for tactical advantage.
Mercenaries (aka Dogs of War) Coming To AoS as Well
Hidden in the previews of the new terrain, GW also made the announcement that some mercenaries are coming to AoS.
First up, we’re excited to unveil the all-new mercenaries system. With Forbidden Power, you’ll be able to recruit renowned sell-swords to your cause regardless of Grand Alliance. So, for example, you could have a Chaos army and enlist some of the notoriously ur-gold hungry warriors of the Greyfyrd lodge…
The most exciting thing about this is that the mercenaries won’t be tied down to Allegiance keywords. For example, you can bring a Fyreslayers dude and mix him in with some Beasts of Chaos. (These mercenaries are just in it for the money, just like the Dogs of War back in Warhammer Fantasy Era). With that said, we’re guessing we will start to see more unique characters come to AoS.
New Sylvaneth Gladewyrm Model
While the only solid word we have on Sylvaneth so far is a new model, the way they worded the description of this guy makes us think we’ve got even more on the way…
You won’t have to wait long before you can summon your own Gladewyrms
And we didn’t:
From Warhammer TV on Youtube, they announced two things shortly after that. That yes, Sylvaneth are definitely coming along with new models and a Battletome. However, the product is being held up in customs and they don’t know how long it would be before the product hits the shelves.
New Sylvaneth Battletome, Warscrolls & Dice
While the Sylvaneth may be in a delay, there’s a silver lining. The faction is going to be coming with a bunch of updates and models.
As far as we can tell, the Arch-Revenant, endless spells, and terrain may be getting all-new warscrolls. Kurnoth Hunters are also going to be dishing out a mortal wound on a 6 to wound with their swords too. (That’s not a big change, but it’s nice). If you’re an existing Sylvaneth player, we’d say there’s going to be enough changes to the faction to make you want to get a pack of the warscroll cards.
If you’re playing Sylvaneth, you’ll also be getting access to a selection of new warscrolls! Most of these will plug in just fine to your existing Sylvaneth army,* with new keywords like Free Spirits and Household coming into play when your battletome is out.
With Free Spirits and Households mentioned, could we be seeing warscroll battalions come out themed around Sylvaneth “loners” and tightly-knit warbands?
in the same vein, and staying true to AoS faction revamps, the Sylvaneth are coming with their own themed dice.
Could These Trees Be the New Wyldwoods?
New Sylvaneth Model Showcasing a Ring or Trees
In the preview, they dropped this image. It doesn’t look quite like an endless spell so our guess is that these could be the new Sylvaneth Wyldwoods.
Three New Endless Spells
Moving onto the endless spells, the only one we know the name of is the Gladewyrm in the front. Looking at the other two spells, there’s a haunting tree full of skeletons tangled in its roots and a “hive” of bug swarms flying out.
The same “hive” design can be found on Drycha Hamadreth’s shoulders and legs. Could the endless spell be a swarm of Flitterfuries and act similar to Drycha Hamadreth’s rules?
Warcry Skirmish Game & The Everchosen Faction
Warcry was previewed at GAMA. This Skirmish game is focused solely around Chaos Warbands brought to an area to fight each other for dominance.
While we saw an initial preview of Warcry earlier in the year, Warhammer Community gave us a deeper look into the Everchosen faction at the Australian Championship. The Everchosen are looking to be some real glass cannons. With everyone in the warband wearing minimal fur and leather, they are the “primal” Chaos fighters that use animals and primitive clubs made of bone to kill their enemies.
And there you have it! There’s a healthy dose of 40k and AoS support in the works as well as a sprinkling of some side-game action like Titanicus. With that said, what do you think is on the way to the shelves next? What preview are you most excited for? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
