The new Warhammer 40k 9th Edition box set has finally be revealed, and yup its got a lot of miniatures! Here’s a look at all those new models and characters!
The BIG online 40k GW Preview for the new 9th Edition box set is here! Games Workshop is revealing their latest news and previews on Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community today!
Sure, we’ve seen a few teasers about new 40k here and there over the past weeks, however here’s the latest straight from GW now!
While this isn’t technically an official box count, we can pretty assume it is. As we can see without going too in-depth we see 2-3 troop squads, 2-3 elites, 2-3 characters, and then some (we are looking at you, giant walker) for EACH side! This box is looking to be massive.
According to GW there is a ton of value packed in this box:
In case you lost track, that’s 61 push-fit miniatures, 1 exclusive launch edition Core Book, the assembly guide and transfer sheet, and the Edge of Silence book with all the rules for your models. We actually packed it so full that we couldn’t fit any dice or tape measures inside – but we know you already have some.
Check out the profile view of the contents from the Instruction manual, and transfer sheet!
They also indicated this is not for starting out, this box is for existing players and collectors of Warhammer 40k.
Besides that we also got a cool spotlight video showing off some of the models…
With that let’s check out some of the models!
Indomitus Overview: Necrons
This has got some warriors plus one of the new characters, the Royal Warden! While we don’t know much about him, we can assume he might have something to do with his warrior buddies that he is next too. Maybe he will buff them a bit?
The Skorpekh Lord is another character for the Necrons we got to look at. All the images we have seen of this guy so far are the same loadout, but at least judging by his size he will pack a big punch.
Then we have two images of the not-so-mini versions of the Skorpekh Lord, these are the Skorpekh Destroyers. There appears to be three of them in the box just by looking at the first image we saw.
There were also Scarabs in the video. It looks like we’ll be getting 6 total in the box, a solid amount to get started.
A Plasmancer and the Cryptothralls are the next units for the Necrons. Both of them are brand new and we know nothing about it! The Plasmancer is most likely a character and the Cryptothralls are likely elites perhaps? Who knows.
Indomitus Overview: Space Marines
Our favorite boys in blue also have plenty to look forward too.
This includes two new units in the Bladeguard Ancient and the Eradicators (bottom left and right). First off that new banner on the Ancient is sweet! The Eradicators don’t seem too interesting, but a heavy weapons Primaris elite is a welcomed sight.
Indomitus is also giving us a Primaris Chaplain! With all the new litanies we have gotten in Psychic Awakening a new Chaplain is definitely in order! Now your newly update armies can also have newly updated models to follow suit.
My personally favorite model the Judiciar was also spot-lighted. In a similar vein as the Master of Executions, we saw CSM get one with their update, this guy looks like he is on a mission to lop off some heads!
Lastly, we got a sweet shot of the new Primaris Captain. Featuring the new helmet and armor designs we see featured on the new veterans.
This captain is no joke. What a perfect model to lead your new melee primaris forces into battle. Just look at that Stormshield!
Exclusive 9th Edition 40k Core Rulebook
Also included in the new box set is this exclusive version of the 9th Edtion rules!
However, with all the Necron and Primaris stuff previewed, we’ll be diving more into the sprues and all the newly revealed units soon!
What’s your favorite new Necron and Marine model? Are you looking forward to one side more than the other? How much do you think this new Box Set will cost?
