Captain Titus Pre-Order: $94 $113CAD $160AUD €74 £57
This new character set bundles Titus with his tight circle: Veteran Sergeant Metaurus, Ancient Gadriel, Lucia Vestha (a plenipotentiary of Ultramar), Astropath Dainal Kornelius, Gaius Silva (veteran commodore of the Ultramar Defence Fleet), and Aemelia Minervas (Legatus in the Ultramar Defence Auxilia and commander of the 30th Macragge Defence Auxilia attached to Titus’ fleet).

Plus, Kornelius and Metaurus each come with two head options for extra character. A lot of hobbyists also seem keen on making Titus into a Henry Cavill miniature, which you can do with this 3d printed head bit.
You can see more about their rules and the latest on the 500 worlds campaign in our recent article here.
Nekrosor Ammentar Pre-Order: $65 $78CAD $108AUD €51.50 £40
Necrons do not scare easily, and Nekrosor Ammentar still manages it. This horror acts like a focal point for a murderous psychosis that catches on in nearby Necrons, and centuries of tinkering have turned it into a purpose-built organic-life shredder. Crypteks have armed it with bladed limbs, a serpentine tail, enmitic projectors that let it tunnel across battlefields, and the unmaker gauntlet for the grand finale.
Be sure to check out our 40k rules breakdown for Ammentar in this article.
C’tan Shard of the Nightbringer Pre-Order: $130 CAD$160 $203AUD €101.50 £80
This new shard model wears a constantly shifting necrodermis that settles into a robed figure of death, complete with a scythe that looks grown, not forged. On the tabletop, that weapon can carve through packs of lesser foes in a single swing, and the signature death-stare drains life away for a very tidy D6+3 damage. Updated rules for this miniature have also been released here.
500 Worlds Pre-Order: $80 $100CAD $133AUD €65 £50
- 500 Worlds: Titus
- 500 Worlds: Titus, Dread Incursions
- 500 Worlds: Titus, War on the Vespator Front
- 500 Worlds: Titus, Detachments
Roboute Guilliman has ordered Titus to reclaim the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar. That job comes with a side of “ancient enemies stirring in the dark,” which feels less like a surprise and more like a scheduling issue at this point.
“500 Worlds: Titus, The Battle for Unity Begins” is a narrative expansion for Warhammer 40k covering the opening moves of the war for Ultramar, with a focus on the Vespator Front and Titus’ story. It arrives as a slipcase set holding three softback books plus a smaller booklet loaded with background and rules content.
500 Worlds Titus Collector’s Edition: Available Directly From Games Workshop Only
A luxury collector’s edition is lined up too, with the same content inside a fancier slipcase with gold foil blocking and matching cover treatments. Both versions are available only while stock lasts.
Space Marine Heads Pre-Order: Available Directly From Games Workshop Only
Space Marine Chapters come from all over the galaxy, and they do not all look like clones fresh off a sprue. This set of heads brings variety with 15 helmeted heads across ranks and marks, 30 bare heads, plus two Terminator helmets and two Terminator bare heads.
You may also remember these heads causing a slight stir for their “interesting” design choices…
Boarding Actions Terrain Set: Available Directly From Games Workshop Only
Boarding Actions games live and die by good walls, tight angles, and places to get ambushed. This terrain set packs two game boards and 50 Tomb World terrain pieces, which is double the amount found in the Killzone set.
Special rules for using the terrain appear in “500 Worlds: Titus, Dread Incursions,” and the kit is only available until stock runs out.
500 Worlds Battalion Necrons: Pre-Order: $170 $205CAD $285AUD €135 £105
Destroyer Cult Necrons are not subtle, and this battalion box leans into that energy. It includes a Hexmark Destroyer, two Lokhust Heavy Destroyers, three Skorpekh Destroyers, and a Plasmacyte, plus three Ophydian Destroyers and a Plasmacyte.
It works as a brutal core for a fresh Necrons force, a strong add-on for an existing collection, and a natural fit for the new Cursed Legion Detachment that powers up Destroyer Cult weapons. This is also a while supplies last item; be sure to check out the pricing and value breakdown in our latest article here.
Destroyer Cult Dice Set: $34 $39CAD $54AUD €25 £19.50
Sixteen dice arrive in black gem-effect plastic with light green ink on the pips, finished with the Mark of the Nekrosor icon on the six face. It is made to match the whole “mad robots with sharp objects” theme, and it is only available until stock runs out.
New Black Library Pre-Order Releases
The latest Black Library pre-order titles are here; they’re hotter than a Salamander’s forge! So if you’re into far-future battles, mysterious quests, or tales of heroism, there’s probably something here for you.

Farsight Blade of Truth: $17.99 CAD$21.99 AUD$22.99 €13.50 £9.99
Deep in the Vior’losan desert, Farsight has been trying the quiet life, shelving the alien sword and the bleeding-edge battlesuit so he and his comrades can keep the peace. Then a Tyranid bio-fleet closes its jaws on Vior’los, and the calm ends fast. Treachery creeps in from within too, courtesy of the ethereal Aun’Va, and the hit list keeps growing. “Farsight: Blade of Truth” by Phil Kelly is set for paperback pre-order next Saturday.
Vaults of Terra The Omnibus: $21 CAD$25 AUD$30 €20 £15
Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl is caught in a conspiracy inside the Imperial Palace, and it is the kind that can take humanity down with it. With his acolyte Luce Spinoza, he fights to untangle the mess before the Imperium collapses.
“Vaults of Terra: The Omnibus” collects three short stories and three novels by Chris Wraight. It is set for pre-order next Friday in eBook format, then next Saturday in paperback.
Fulgrim The Perfect Son: $17.99 CAD$21.99 AUD$22.99 €13.50 £9.99
Fulgrim, ascended Primarch of the Emperor’s Children, has issued a challenge to his scattered warriors: take an Imperial world and bring him the head of the Black Templar charged with its defense. Naturally, the plan grows into something bigger than a quick raid, dragging everyone into a grinding siege where the price of victory keeps climbing.
“Fulgrim: The Perfect Son” by Jude Reid is set for paperback pre-order next Saturday.
Siege of Terra The Shattered and the Soulless: $17.99 CAD$21.99 AUD$22.99 €13.50 £9.99
This omnibus collects two stories by Graham McNeill in one volume. “Sons of the Selenar” follows the Shattered Legions on Terra, then pulls the crew of the Sisypheum beneath Luna after the Kryptos delivers a message of doom. “Fury of Magnus” tracks Magnus the Red on a personal mission into the Imperial Palace, setting up a meeting with the Emperor once more.
The omnibus is set for pre-order next Friday in eBook, then next Saturday in paperback.
Final Thoughts On 500 Worlds, Titus & Necron Pre-Orders
So, that is the current state of affairs in Ultramar. Titus is back in the big chair, the Necrons are bringing a walking nightmare and a star-god fragment to the party, and the Five Hundred Worlds are gearing up for a long, messy cleanup job.
If the slipcased narrative set is your kind of hobby snack, it is basically lore, campaigns, and Boarding Actions all stacked in one package, with fresh Detachments to keep your lists feeling new. Toss in the extra heads, the Tomb World terrain, and a Destroyer Cult bundle that screams “bad decisions at high speed,” and this release wave has plenty to keep a paint desk busy.
