- Custodes went full plastic: brand-new plastic Legio Custodes on the way with a 40k rules update.
- Xenos heroes and KT blind boxes: GW teased five new Xenos characters (with Nekrosor Ammentar and a new Nightbringer hitting January 24th, 2026), plus Dark Angels Warhammer Heroes is a blind-buy set with seven minis and Kill Team cards (English, German, Japanese).

So here is the latest Games Workshop new release schedule and Warhammer roadmap for 2026, featuring release dates for most upcoming products.
On The Horizon: Warhammer 40k New Releases Coming Soon
These are all the upcoming Warhammer 40k new releases we know are on the horizon, headed into 11th edition… just don’t ask when. Look for more information to drop shortly about all the new products on the Games Workshop release schedule and Warhammer 2026 Roadmap, soon.
The Imperial Knights Get a Brand New Bellatus-Class Mini

GW Reveals Four New Combat Patrols

AdMech Gets a New Magos, and Heavy Skitarii Models
Games Workshop just rolled out Thulia Ghuld, Archmagos Terminus, plus the new Hastarii, and this looks like AdMech leaning hard into “armoured Skitarii wall” instead of leaning on robots or Breachers. It’s also tied into the Eye of Terror Narrative Campaign push, which usually means more reveals are lurking right behind the curtain.
New Defiler Refreshed After 20 Years
The new Chaos Space Marines Defiler is finally getting a real refresh after two decades, and it still looks like the same nightmare crab-tank that exists to ruin someone’s week. This is not a tiny tweak either; it is a proper centerpiece update with way more posing and customization, plus a pile of weapon options that basically scream “magnetize me.”
New Mutilators Revealed by GW

New 40k Iron Warriors, Eye of Terror Series Coming Soon

Kravek Morne is the new Iron Warriors bruiser for the Eye of Terror campaign, stomping around in ancient Horus Heresy Cataphractii Terminator armour he calls the Iron Mantle, and he looks like a siege gun that learned how to walk. It is a fresh mini that practically dares you to break out the bits box and start kitbashing.

New Custodes Models Just Went Full Plastic (and 40k Players Should Pay Attention)
The New Year Preview just dropped a full tray of all-new plastic Legio Custodes, and it is the kind of reveal that makes both Horus Heresy players and 40k folks do a double-take.
Best part for 40k players? A Custodes rules update is slated for later this year, and a bunch of these new kits already look perfect for representing current units.
New 40k Aeldari Corsairs Crash the Party

The long-awaited new Vyper model is also on the way in the new Eltridth Raiders battleforce, along with Kharseth the Void Dreamer. Plus, the new Corsair Skyreavers are swooping in as jump pack shock troops loaded with weapon choices.
Here’s everything confirmed for the new Aeldari Corsairs so far; waiting on separate releases from the Eldritch Raiders Battleforce from February 28th, 2026.
- Prince Yriel
- Corsair Skyreavers
- Kharseth the Aethyrmancer
- Vyper
- Starfang (Corsair Vyper variant from the same new kit)
Chaos Corsairs Releases Go Full Pirate Mode
Also waiting on separate releases are a few Red Corsairs box sets that first appeared in the Lords of the Maelstrom Battleforce.

Strike Force Variel brings: Space Marine Warhammer Heroes
The Dark Angels Space Marine Warhammer Heroes set is another blind buy collection, which means: surprise! You won’t know who you’re getting until you open the box.
There are seven different miniatures in total, each accompanied by its own Kill Team data card (available in English, German, and Japanese).

40k Maelstrom Releases: February 28th, 2026
GW revealed the 40k Maelstrom Lair of the Tyrant campaign book and box set releases for a pirate-themed 10th edition finale with Red Corsairs, new Aeldari minis, Yriel, and narrative rules.
Maelstrom Lair should connect to the wider 500 Hundred Worlds narrative, and the book set looks like it is part of a three-book run, including the yet-to-be-fully-revealed Eye of Terror series, leading into the 11th edition.

Four New 40k Chaos Battleforces Febraury 14th, 2026
Four new Chaos battleforce boxes are rolling out a fresh wave of bundled deals all at once. The specifics matter, sure, but the headline is simple: four themed boxes, one big temptation, and a pretty good chance they vanish fast once preorders hit.
We did the quick “do I actually need these kits” math below for each one, because Chaos box FOMO is undefeated.
- Lords of Excess Battleforce
- Khorne Daemonkin Battleforce
- Sekhmet Coven Battleforce
- Vile Vectorium Battleforce
500 Worlds Titus & New Necron Releases: January 24th 2026

Images of what looked like a towering new Warhammer 40k C’tan Shard of the Nightbringer looming over some new Kill Team models leaked. Then, before the rumor mill could even cool off, Games Workshop dropped the official reveal, confirming the Star God is back, nastier than ever, and ready to wreck someone’s plans.

New Space Marine Combat Patrol Releases:

Drukhari Releases: October 11th 2025
All of the new Drukhai releases are hitting shelves on October 11th, 2025, in one wave with their codex, except the new multipart Archon Model, which was released later on November 8th.
- Lady Malys finally arrives: She’s got the barbed longsword, the fan of knives, and rules that mess with your opponent’s head as much as your dice do. About time GW made her official.
- Realspace Raiders Battleforce: 37 minis, including Wyches, Kabalites, Incubi, Scourges, Hellions, a Venom, and that new Archon. Great starter, but veterans might feel like they’re rebuying their old collection.
- Codex: Drukhari: Five new detachments, revamped Power from Pain that gives each unit unique tricks, and the usual glossy lore and art. Tactical variety’s up, bookkeeping’s probably up too. You can see all the leaked rules here.
- Combat Patrol: Coven of Agonies- Haemonculus, 10 Wracks, and 2 Pain Engines. Fluffy, creepy, and mean in melee, though not quite the insane value of the old Patrol box.
- Combat Patrol Death Korps of Krieg: The DKoK have a combat patrol now, which is pretty low in terms of value, sadly.
