Ready to see what’s next for 2025?
Preview Summary:
Whether your passion lies in Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, The Old World, or Kill Team, there are plenty of new models to see now! Here are all the AdeptiCon 2025 Warhammer highlights without all the fancy jargon:
- Space Wolves Come Howling Back
- These intergalactic Vikings are not just here to look cool; they’ve got a beefed-up Codex and a fresh batch of miniatures. Think less “puppy love,” more “wolf pack on a mission.”
- Crusade: Armageddon and Grey Knights
- Angron’s making life tough in Armageddon, but don’t sweat it—Grey Knights are on it with updates and new campaign rules. If there’s a daemon problem, these guys are the pest control.
- Chaos Rises with a Vengeance
- Chaos fans, get your party hats ready! World Eaters, Death Guard, and Thousand Sons are rolling deep with new Codexes and units that are off the chain—or should we say, off the leash?
- Warhammer 40,000: Shake Up with New Mission Deck
- Looking to spice up your tabletop tactics? The new Mission Deck promises to mix things up with smaller, more cunning battle plans. It’s like chess but with more explosions.
- Spearhead: Sand and Bone Makes Spooky Cool Again
- Sand and Bone is bringing the creepy with new missions and terrain. Think of it as your haunted house but with more strategic depth and less actual ghosts.
- Kill Team: Typhon Introduces New Adversaries
- Tyranids are tunneling their way into trouble in this new expansion. The Adeptus Mechanicus has their work cut out for them, so it’s time to gear up and get tactical.
- Grand Cathay Wakes Up
- The empire of Grand Cathay is stepping onto the scene with dragons and magic aplenty. If you’re into powerhouse moves and mystical flair, these guys mean business.
- Wood Elves vs. Beastman Brayherds
- It’s an all-out brawl in the Old World forests. With strategic plays and new kits, it’s not just a fight; it’s an arboreal chess game with antlers and arrows.
Huge Adepticon 2025 Previews:
Let’s break it down. The Warhammer Adepticon Preview kicked off for online folks on Wednesday, March 26th, at 10 PM CT (or Thursday, March 27th, at 4 AM GMT for our early risers across the pond). Those lucky enough to attend in person got a Space Wolves preview model for free!
Everything was also live on Warhammer Community and Twitch, and we’ll have all the previews here on Spikey Bits for you below as well!
This year, we got our first look at fresh new previews. From 40k Chaos to Cathay in Warhammer the Old World, these previews sizzled. Let’s look at everything that was revealed at the AdeptiCon 2025 preview.
Adepticon Warhammer Previews: 40k Roadmaps
Alright, let’s zip through the latest lowdown from the newest Warhammer release Roadmaps. First off, the Thousand Sons are shaking things up with a new Codex that’s all about beefing up their magic mojo. Expect the Rubric Marines and those twisty Tzaangors to get even more formidable. It’s like they’ve been given a magical makeover, Warhammer style!
The Space Wolves seem to have caught the scent of something exciting. Their rumors said updates might include beefier Wulfen, shiny new gear, and tweaks that’ll make their howls echo even further on the battlefield.
World Eaters are not just about brute force; they’re getting strategic with their slicing and dicing. Look out for upgrades that enhance their close-combat chaos, making Angron and his Eightbound pals even scarier. It’s about to get a whole lot bloodier. Death Guard keep on trudging forward, and they’re not slowing down.
Updates to their Codex mean Mortarion’s crew will be tougher and more terrifying than ever. Think less “walk in the park” and more “march of doom.”
“Coming Next”
The Black Templars are gearing up to bring even more zeal to your battles, potentially shaking things up with more versatile crusader squads and an amped-up vow system. If you’re all about channeling the Emperor’s fury, get ready for more intense tabletop crusades.
Meanwhile, the Grey Knights aren’t left lurking in the shadows, either. With beefed-up psychic abilities and some fresh twists on their classic units, these daemon-hunters are looking to keep Chaos in check with style and smarts. And let’s not overlook the towering titans of the battlefield – the Imperial and Chaos Knights are about to get even more colossal with cool new gear and house-specific upgrades.
“On The Horizon”
If you’re a fan of the fiery Salamanders, the stout-hearted Leagues of Votann, or the steadfast Imperial Fists, it seems like there’s something cool on the horizon for everyone.
“The Future”
Last but not least, we’ve got this shadowy little teaser of a miniature. I mean, come on—it’s clearly a Space Marine. But take a closer look at the art, and boom—it screams classic Raven Guard vibes, straight out of the old-school GW playbook. But of course, these are rumors, so even though we think it, it’s not true until GW says it!
There’ve been whispers floating around about a potential rework for them, and this? This feels like the first real breadcrumb. Raven Guard players, it might be time to let the hype engines warm up. And honestly, it tracks—they’re the sneaky types. Of course, they wouldn’t just barge in and announce new goodies. Stealth mode engaged.
Space Wolves: More Than Just a Pretty (Fanged) Face
Who let the wolves out? Again? That’s right, the Space Wolves are storming into the fray with tails wagging and teeth bared. With a new Codex and a whole lineup of miniatures, these aren’t just your average intergalactic Vikings.
Space Wolves are back in a big way for Warhammer 40k with new minis, a lore-packed Codex, and a furious new Army Set! Read More
Crusade: Armageddon and Grey Knights!
Imagine a crimson portal opening up over the Fire Wastes of Armageddon. Who you gonna call? The Grey Knights! This elite unit is ready to crash the daemon party in the latest Crusade expansion. If you’re looking for some high-octane, daemon-slaying action, you won’t want to miss this.

Chaos Rising: World Eaters, Death Guard, and Thousand Sons
Talk about a triple threat! The Chaos factions are beefing up their ranks, and they’re not holding back. New miniatures? Check. Updated Codexes? You bet.

Chaos is officially rising with new 40k Codexes for Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle, plus wild new units like the Slaughterbound and Sekhetar Robots. Read More

Spearhead: Sand and Bone – Where the Dead Come to Play
