Here are the latest new releases and a preview roadmap from Games Workshop for Horus Heresy, Saturnine, and the Age of Darkness for 2026 and beyond.
Horus Heresy Roadmap 2025 Through 2026
Updated on December 1st, 2025, by Rob Baer with WCW Previews and future release teasers from Warhammer Community.
Get the scoop on the upcoming Warhammer 40k new releases for the Horus Heresy Age of Darkness system in the latest roadmap for 2025.
Tons of awesome new sculpts and revamped classics are on the way as Games Workshop goes all out to keep your armies looking fresh and fierce. And if you’re itching to know about the latest campaign books, we’ve got the inside scoop right here for you!
New Horus Heresy Rumors That Are Stirring Things Up Again
The redesign of the new Cataphractii Terminators isn’t just a one-off, either. According to rumor, it’s part of a wider push to modernize Heresy models, moving away from aging resin kits toward sleeker, easier-to-build plastics.
The Fire Raptor gunship is supposedly joining that plastic club, too, which means fewer warped wings and more hobby happiness.
Plus, with the Fellblade already in plastic, more super-heavies like the Falchion and Glaive could be next to roll off the production line, especially since they have models in Legions Imperialis now.
More Plastic Primarch Rumors:
For years, Heresy players have fought their greatest battle not on the tabletop, but against resin warping. That nightmare might finally end soon. Multiple sources hint that future Primarchs will be in plastic, starting after Angron Transfigured.
This shift could make the most iconic models in the hobby sturdier, easier to assemble, and, best of all, more widely available.
- Rogal Dorn is rumored to get a new Siege of Terra-themed kit, complete with two loadout options: a massive power sword or a brutal chainsword.
- Vulkan may finally rise again in plastic, fitting nicely with new box art and a rumored revisit of the Isstvan campaign.
- Roboute Guilliman might be reimagined for The Horus Heresy instead of 40k, rounding out the loyalist lineup in true Ultramar fashion.
These moves suggest Games Workshop’s big-picture plan is to modernize every Primarch for the Horus Heresy, giving players centerpiece models that won’t snap under their own resin weight.
And yes, Perturabo’s name keeps coming up. Whispers from the rumor forums suggest the Iron Warriors Primarch himself may be returning, either as part of a new “Ascended” Primarchs line for The Horus Heresy or a lore-driven appearance in the future 40k narrative.
Rumors also point to Abaddon the Despoiler getting a new model in this updated scale, potentially part of a Siege of Terra diorama with his elite Justaerin Terminators.
On The Horizon: Horus Heresy New Releases Coming Soon
Here are all the upcoming Horus Heresy releases we know are on the horizon, but just don’t ask when. Look for more information to drop shortly about all the new products in this section, soon™.
Myrmidon Destructors Bring Holy Overkill to the Mechanicum
The Myrmidon Destructors are stomping in like six walking sermons of vaporisation. These cybernetic priest-tanks treat firefights like holy services, which is pretty convenient since their idea of prayer involves turning people into glowing dust.
Forge world bosses practically trip over themselves to hire these ancient heavies whenever trouble starts brewing. The new kit packs six plastic bruisers loaded with darkfire cannons, weird energy guns, radiation sprayers, and enough spare heads and servo-skulls to make any tech-fanatic grin.
2 New Horus Heresy Battle Groups Bring Double Trouble
Space Marines and the Mechanicum are back at it with two shiny new Battle Groups that scream, “Your backlog just got bigger.”
The Siege Assault box drops a full breach team of Cataphractii Terminators, Breachers, and a Leviathan Dreadnought ready to turn fortresses into dust, while the Skitarii Battle Group brings augmented zealots and a plastic Vultarax to the field for some serious Mars-style mayhem.

Legion Imperialis New Releases: December 20th, 2025
The Age of Darkness just got a serious upgrade, and it’s not for the faint of heart, or the lightly armored. Between hulking Saturnine Terminators, rolling fortresses, and enough firepower to make a Titan flinch, these new Legions Imperialis battle groups are here to remind everyone who the real heavy hitters are.
Saturnine Battle Group
The heavy hitters have arrived, and this bundle is basically Vulkan’s dream team of destruction. Inside you’ll find:
- 2 Saturnine Heavy Assault Cadre sets with a total of 12 Terminator squads, 4 Command squads, and 8 Saturnine Dreadnoughts ready to melt anything in sight.
- 1 Araknae Weapons Platform set with 8 platforms that can be armed with quad autocannons, punisher cannons, or frag missile batteries.
- 8 Vindicator Siege Tanks, 2 Mastodon Super-heavy Transports, and 2 Fire Raptors for when subtlety’s not on the menu.
- Plus transfer sheets for vehicles and aircraft because grimdark armor deserves proper heraldry.
Legiones Astartes Combined Arms Battle Group
The Space Marines’ answer to “what if we just took everything?” You get infantry, tanks, Dreadnoughts, and flyers for a fully loaded strike force:
- 2 Legion Command Squads
- 8 Tactical Legionary bases
- 2 Terminator bases
- 2 Assault Marine bases
- 4 Support Legionary bases
- 4 each of Contemptor, Leviathan, and Deredeo Dreadnoughts
- 4 Rapiers, 4 Tarantulas, 4 Kratos, 4 Sicaran Tanks
- 6 Land Raider Proteus and 6 Xiphon Interceptors
Basically, it’s a small apocalypse in a box.
Solar Auxilia Combined Arms Battle Group
The humans aren’t sitting this one out either. This box brings elite troops and armored muscle in equal measure:
- 2 Command bases, 8 Infantry bases, 4 Flamers, 4 Veletarii, and 4 Ogryn bases
- 4 Aethon Heavy Sentinels, 12 Rapiers, 4 Cyclops units, and 12 Tarantulas
- 2 Super-heavy Tanks, 6 Dracosans, 8 Leman Russ, and 6 Lightning Fighters
It’s the perfect mix of “we’re only human” and “we brought tanks anyway.”

- Legion Super-heavy Tanks: Falchion, Ascalon, Fellblade, and Glaive variants
