Hints of a potential new Warhammer 40k Kill Team box were spotted on Instagram. Could a daemon engine and brutal terrain be on the way?
Updated August 7th, 2025, by Rob Baer with the latest information.
Grab your foil hats, folks. Warhammer’s official Instagram just dropped some spicy Grey Knights vs World Eaters artwork, and the community went full inquisitor mode. At first glance, it’s your classic daemon purge.
But the full image? It’s got a hint at new models!
Is a New Kill Team Box Coming?
Rumors are flying faster than a Khorne Berzerker on a Red Thirst bender. The art looks suspiciously like it could be tied to an upcoming rumored Kill Team box.
And with the way Games Workshop tends to use artwork as a teaser (they basically never release art that doesn’t depict official models), we’ve got good reason to raise an eyebrow.
Toss in whispers of new models, and the hype starts writing its own codex. The Grey Knights in the art looked upscaled compared to current models and with plenty of new options.
This box could very well have a new Strike Squad for the Grey Knights, and we might finally see them get the upscale and rework they deserve after about 15 years.
What’s That Daemon Engine?
One thing has everyone talking: a nasty Daemon Engine with a buzzsaw for an arm and tank treads. It doesn’t match any current Chaos model on the tabletop.
Either way, it’s not something artists usually sketch for fun. GW tends to build models that match the art. Maybe this will be a scaled-down Lord of Skulls type mini?
Why This Could Be Huge
Grey Knights need fresh models and new toys. World Eaters are still riding high off their 9th edition glow-up, but could use some more love, as they currently feel light on models to play with.

Between the art reveal, the codex tease, and mounting community chatter, this box could be a banger. If it drops anything like the recent Necron vs Deathwatch set, expect killer terrain and unique models.
Until we get confirmation, it’s all speculation, but the kind that makes your wallet nervous and your shelf space tighter.
