Originally published in May 2025. Updated July 11th, 2025, by Rob Baer with the latest information and links.
Warhammer hobbyists have had some solid wins lately, but DK dropped three new books that feel like an analog cheat code. Not only are we getting a massive lore dump, video game nostalgia, and a dose of Space Marine wisdom, but one of these tomes includes a free Lt. Titus miniature from Warhammer 40k!
That’s right. Buy a book, get a character. No resin dust, no sprue clipping, just a bonus mini for doing what we were already going to do: hoard lore like it’s sacred scripture.
Let’s break down why each of these books is worth your desk space, besides the #1 best seller status on Amazon.
GW’s Latest Free Warhammer 40k Miniature Offer
Games Workshop has been doing this fun little thing for a couple of years now. Basically, you stroll into one of their stores once a month and walk out with a free Warhammer 40k mini. No catch, no purchase necessary.
It usually goes hand-in-hand with their coin promotion (which does require you to drop a cool $100), but the mini? Totally on the house. So yeah, handing out one-off minis isn’t exactly breaking news.
But now we’ve got this new Warhammer 40k encyclopedia, and for a ridiculous price, you can score the mighty Lt. Titus miniature too. Plus, he actually has rules now as well.
You’re not just getting a book, you’re basically being paid in plastic to buy it with the free Titus model.
Snag your free LT. Titus model, and give us a high-five in support! Every qualifying purchase helps Spikey Bits keep the lights on and the fun going.
Warhammer 40k Character Encyclopedia:
This one’s the real headline-grabber. DK’s upcoming Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopedia promises over 120 iconic characters from the 41st Millennium, covering the galaxy’s worst nightmares and most tragic heroes.
From Primarchs and Chaos warlords to Inquisitors and xenos legends, this book pulls deep from three decades of lore across books, games, and animations.
The real hook? It comes with a free miniature of Lt. Titus himself. A perfect excuse to expand your collection or paint a one-off without committing to an army. Get yours here.
Plus, Wade Pryce the Black Library’s own loremaster helped pen the book, so the writing pedigree checks out.
The Art of Warhammer 40k Video Games Book:
Next up is The Art of Warhammer Video Games Book, a beautifully laid-out retrospective on decades of Warhammer digital chaos. Written by Andy Hall (yes, that Andy Hall), this book spans titles from Space Hulk on the Amiga to the upcoming Space Marine 2.
Expect behind-the-scenes commentary, game art that never made it to screen, and a healthy dose of nostalgia for anyone who ever rage-quit Dawn of War.
Better still, every copy includes Steam codes for Warhammer: Vermintide, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, and Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin plus an in-game skin for Lieutenant Titus in Tacticus. You’re not just flipping through concept art, you’re getting games and digital loot as part of the deal.
Words of War: Quotable Astartes, Pocket-Sized
Ever wanted to carry a Space Marine’s battle cry in your pocket? Words of War: The Miniature Book of Space Marine Quotes is built just for that. This small-format book collects quotes from across chapters and codexes, paired with dramatic photography of some of the best-painted minis this side of Terra.
It’s more than a novelty. This is the kind of thing that makes a great desk accessory, gift, or inspirational coffee table sidekick for late-night painting sessions.
Final Thoughts From Us
Together, these books offer something for every kind of Warhammer fan: collectors, painters, loreheads, and gamers alike.
Pre-orders are open now, and with the holiday season closing in, it might be smart to claim your copy (and that free mini) before they’re gone, especially if you’re the kind of person who already alphabetized your codex shelf.
