The 40k Dawn of War Onslaught board game is in stock at stores; see what hobbyists are finding at Target and Barnes & Noble now!
Originally published in May 2025. Updated August 20th, 2025, by Rob Baer, as the game is orderable after the Dawn of War IV video game reveal.
The Dawn of War board game is in stock and ready to ship at Target and Barnes & Noble.
No more blurry leaks to squint at, no more wondering if someone was just having a laugh with a red spray can and a camera from 2002. This one’s real, and we have already ordered ours!
Here is the latest from Games Workshop on the new Dawn of War: Onslaught Board Game that is officially here!
What’s Inside the Box?
Games Workshop sneakily put an image of the new board game in with their Skulls preview video on May 22nd, 2025, and now we have an official release.
The star of the box is definitely a full “Honoured of the Chapter” sprue featuring:
- Primaris Chaplain
- Bladeguard Ancient
- Judiciar
- 3 Bladeguard Veterans
- 3 Eradicators
The Honoured of the Chapter Sprue, which looks the same as above, is just red in the leak.
And they’re all molded in bright red plastic, giving this box its signature Dawn of War look. Normally, the Honored of the Chapter sprue from Indomitus alone runs $168 on GW’s website.
So, even at the $50 price point at Target, like the Space Marine Adventures sets, it’s going to be a serious deal.
Dice, Tokens, Cards, Oh My
It’s not just minis either. The box looks packed with extras: dice, stat cards for Orks, spawn points, red icons that could act like reactors or objectives, and a modular board system that hints at replayability. Word is the Marine stats are more fleshed out than what we saw in earlier Adventures boxes, so this might play a bit deeper, too.
Where To Get Yours
This has officially hit Target stores, and we also have a product link for Barnes and Noble. Of course, eBay doing what eBay does already has it up for double the price, so you’ve got options out there, but the best might be to just wait for it at Target or score it at Barnes and Noble.

Why This is Worth Grabbing
If this box delivers even half the contents we’re hoping for, at a fraction of the price of buying those minis individually, it’s shaping up to be an easy pickup. Whether you’re chasing Dawn of War nostalgia or just looking for a casual, fast-playing game to add to the collection, this one’s going to move fast.
Final Thoughts From Us
This all started as a suspicious, microwave-quality leak, but it actually got its official reveal back on May 22 at Skullz; so while we weren’t crazy to question those blurry photos, the game’s existence is now confirmed.
Luckily, the leak also contained the new Chaos Knight kit, and that turned out to be 100% accurate!
We think this is a tidy little intro game with models and rules that’s perfect for casual players or anyone who just wants an excuse to paint some Primaris.
If you blink, this thing might already be off the shelf. Dawn of War: Onslaught dropped faster than a Drop Pod with engine failure, and if the leaked contents hold up, it’s easily one of the better value-packed boxes we’ve seen in a while.
Skip the scalpers, keep an eye on your local Target, and maybe send Barnes & Noble a polite nudge while you’re at it. This box won’t stay in orbit for long.
GW Brings Back Dawn of War Video Game
I know this post is nearly a month old. I’ve been looking around for this game since it was leaked and finally found it at Barnes and Noble this morning. Reserved a copy, did my errands with my son, then went to pick it up. The manager who pulled my order told me she received 4 copies last night, updated inventory this morning and all 4 copies were claimed. Each copy going to a customer each. This store limited it to 1 per customer. An associate at the store is aware of the Ebay scalpers from another customer buying it. And the cheapest I found it for on ebay was $80 plus shipping. I’ve found about 40 listings for it just to see. And some have multiple copies and yet to see any listed selling them. These marines will be done as Fallen once I get through my back log. Until then, they shall remain bright red. $40 for a $150 kit is crazy. Sadly there are no alternate build pieces on the sprue.
