Every Warhammer fan and hobbyist knows that October means one thing—Warhammer Day! This year, it was all about Chaos, and with the Great Horned Rat climbing the ladder to sit with the infamous gods of Chaos. Let’s break down what we saw for Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, Legions Imperialis, and Warhammer Underworlds.
What’s Coming Next For Warhammer Now:
Warhammer Day just wouldn’t feel right without a mountain of reveals to stir up some excitement, and this year’s online preview delivered. Best of all, this preview had far more than just roadmaps like we saw at the NOVA Open preview.
AoS Slaves to Darkness Battletome, Sorcerer, & Spearhead Revealed!
The forces of Chaos are growing stronger in the Age of Sigmar with the new Slaves to Darkness battletome and Darkoath Raiders Spearhead box set. This release is pivotal as the Dark Gods push their followers to new heights of conquest.

The Commemorative Miniature: Tzarketh, Bane of Law
Heads up, this Warhammer Day 2024 miniature has finally been revealed, and it is a beauty!
What’s Warhammer Day without a limited-edition miniature? This year, it’s Tzarketh, Bane of Law. A Chaos Sorcerer radiating the raw power of Chaos, Tzarketh will surely be a prized possession for collectors. With a name like “Bane of Law,” we expected a miniature dripping with menace, from flowing robes to arcane symbols that would make even a Librarian cringe. Best of all, Games Workshop did not disappoint!
GW Reveals New 40k Emperor’s Children Coming in 2025
As it stands, the Emperor’s Children have always been a cornerstone of Chaos Space Marine lore. Known for their devotion to Slaanesh, the Chaos God of excess, this legion has a rich history in the Warhammer 40k universe. But unlike their fellow Chaos legions, such as the World Eaters and Death Guard, they’ve been left without a dedicated codex for some time. Games Workshop has finally revealed that the Emperor’s Children will hit the shelves sometime in 2025, marking a pivotal moment for fans who have longed to see their favorite legion receive a proper update for 10th Edition Warhammer 40k.
The Emperor’s Children, known for their devotion to Slaanesh, will finally be released in 2025, marking a long-awaited update in 10th Edition Warhammer 40k.

Legions Imperialis Brings Dark Mechanicum Models to Warhammer
Legions Imperialis brings epic battles to the Warhammer universe, and what better way to showcase grand conflict than with a new Chaos faction, namely the Dark Mechanicum? Warhammer Day provided a first look at Chaos forces tearing apart planets at a scale that only Legions Imperialis can capture.
Warhammer fans and hobbyists can look forward to the introduction of the Dark Mechanicum in Legions Imperialis, marking the first time Games Workshop has officially included models and rules for the faction in a Warhammer setting.
Warhammer Underworlds: A Chaotic Twist?
Warhammer Underworlds is always a great sandbox for showcasing unique warbands, and the theme of Chaos opens the door to some fascinating possibilities. Whether it’s a band of marauding warriors loyal to Khorne or a twisted cult of Tzeentch, the fast-paced nature of Underworlds could benefit from some unpredictability.
Embergard, the new edition of Warhammer Underworlds, takes players to the ruined city of Embergard, overrun by Skaven hordes and marked by the eerie glow of emberstone. This update offers revamped rules and a captivating new setting.
