New Warhammer 40k Pre-Orders
Reinforcements are en route, as the latest Warhammer 40k pre-orders have just hit the scene! These new releases are locked, loaded, and ready for action. Time to grab your paints, assemble your troops, and prepare to dominate the tabletop.
Codex Supplement: Blood Angels
The Blood Angels have always been a force to be reckoned with, their legend stretching across the galaxy in a blaze of victories. Now, they’re back—and more formidable than ever—thanks to the Codex Supplement: Blood Angels. Packed with rich lore, jaw-dropping miniatures, and rules for three Detachments and 18 exclusive units, it’s a love letter to all things crimson and gold. Whether you’re commanding the Sanguinary Guard or legendary heroes like Astorath, Lemartes, and the iconic Commander Dante, this supplement brings the Blood Angels roaring to life.
Oh, and for those die-hard fans who want to go the extra mile, there’s a Special Edition dripping with ornate Baalite flair—perfect for showing off just how much you love your blood-soaked Space Marines. Be sure to check out our review and how-to-play guide on the new Blood Angels here.
Astorath the Grim
Astorath is more than just the Blood Angels’ High Chaplain—he’s their spiritual leader, warrior monk, and, when things get dire, the grim reaper himself. Sure, he takes care of all the usual chaplain duties, like maintaining morale and faith, but his real job? Dispatching those who succumb to the Black Rage. When he drops into battle wielding his massive two-handed axe, heads roll—literally. Years of practice have made him frighteningly efficient.
Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost
Lemartes is a one-of-a-kind case. When Astorath’s axe hovered over his neck, ready to send him to the Emperor, Lemartes did the unthinkable—he begged for more time to serve. His ability to keep his cool (somewhat) in the grips of the Black Rage made him the perfect leader for the Death Company. Now, he guides these berserk warriors, channeling their frenzy into something vaguely resembling strategy and ensuring that their final moments aren’t wasted on reckless charges.
The Sanguinor
Who is the Sanguinor? Well, no one knows—not even the oldest Librarians of the Blood Angels can figure out this mysterious golden avenger’s true identity. He just shows up when the Blood Angels need him most, like a myth come to life, and dives headfirst into the chaos of battle. Armed with his massive encarmine broadsword, he makes quick work of enemy champions and leaders, cutting them down before they even know what hit them. Think of him as the galaxy’s ultimate “surprise hero” package.
Blood Angels Captain
Looking for a commander who’s as deadly as he is fashionable? Enter the Blood Angels Captain. Dressed in ornate power armor that could double as art, these commanders bring style and strategy to the battlefield in equal measure. This new multi-part miniature lets you deck out your Captain with a variety of weapons—whether it’s dual pistols or three different melee options. Plus, you can swap out heads for extra flair. Bonus: You can also use this miniature to represent the Death Company Captain. Versatile and stylish? Yes, please.
Sanguinary Priest
The Sanguinary Priest is basically an Apothecary with a twist. Sure, he’ll patch up his brothers and keep them fighting, but his real gig? Fanning the flames of the Red Thirst before battle. These guys don’t suppress the Blood Angels’ genetic fury—they lean into it, steering it right toward the Imperium’s enemies. Imagine a battlefield doctor who’s also a battle-hype coach, and you’ve got the idea.
Sanguinary Guard
The Sanguinary Guard are the ultimate elite bodyguards, swooping in like angels of death clad in the finest masterwork armor. Armed with gleaming relic weapons, their jump pack assaults are the stuff of legend. With this multi-part kit, you can build three Sanguinary Guard, each wielding encarmine blades or spears. Want to raise the stakes? One can carry a Sanguinary Banner, and another can wield an inferno pistol, just to keep things spicy.
Blood Angels Upgrades and Transfers
Are your Blood Angels looking a bit plain? Fear not! This upgrade set comes packed with 66 detailed bits and a massive sheet of 225 transfers to give your army that proper Baalite flair. We’re talking 27 shoulder pads, 19 accessories, five new heads, and even a chainsword for Death Company squads. Want to customize your Terminator Sergeant? There are alternate heads and weapons for him, too. It’s like a fashion upgrade—only deadlier.
Blood Angels Datacards and Dice Set
If you’re not rolling with custom dice and datacards, are you even playing right? The Blood Angels Datacards have all the special rules you need for your specialist units, and the dice? Oh, they’re a sight to behold—16 red, gem-like beauties with golden pips and the Blood Angels Chapter icon proudly stamped on the six. These are the kind of dice that make your opponent wish they had a set.
Sisters of Battle Canoness with Jump Pack
The Blood Angels aren’t hogging all the airtime—enter the Sisters of Battle Canoness with Jump Pack. This highly dynamic miniature flies solo after her debut in the Army of Faith battleforce, and she’s bringing plenty of customization options. You can arm her with a power maul, power sword, blessed halberd, or a holy eviscerator, all while choosing from three different head options. Talk about versatile holy wrath from above.
Genestealer Cults Benefictus
Ever wanted to weaponize a swollen brain? Meet the Benefictus, the Genestealer Cult’s psychic powerhouse. This twisted mind-channeler unleashes devastating psychic blasts, strong enough to melt tanks and turn enemies into goo. They soften up their targets so the rest of the brood can move in for the kill. It’s all very efficient—and extremely gross
Warhammer Age of Sigmar Roleplay: Soulbound – Starter Set
Ready to dive into the Mortal Realms? The Soulbound Starter Set has got you covered. Whether you’re brand new to the Age of Sigmar universe or a veteran adventurer, this set has everything you need to kick off your epic journey. It’s got a detailed guide to Brightspear, a city teeming with stories and danger, a 48-page introductory adventure to get things rolling, and all the essentials: character sheets, dice, and even a snazzy map of the surrounding lands. Basically, it’s the perfect entry point to start slinging spells, swinging hammers, and taking names.
New White Dwarf Pre-Orders
The latest issue of White Dwarf is up for pre-order, and it’s hotter than a plasma gun on overcharge! Whether you’re a Warhammer veteran or a newcomer still figuring out the difference between a Bolter and a Lasgun, this mag has something for everyone.
Packed with exclusive lore, stunning miniature showcases, and tips that will level up your hobby game, it’s like hobby Christmas came early.
White Dwarf 505
It’s Orktober, baby! White Dwarf 505 is hitting the shelves with an all-out Ork extravaganza. Expect a Mega Battle Report that’s as chaotic as you’d hope, a multiplayer mission that’s pure mayhem, and a pop-out photographic backdrop for your Orks and Orruks to stomp around on. But it’s not all green and mean—Adepta Sororitas are getting some love with new Crusade Rules, and the Skaven are crawling out of the woodwork with a 14-page deep dive on their latest verminous hordes. Grab your copy, and get ready for some serious hobby inspiration.

Eidolon: The Auric Hammer
Primus Eidolon isn’t just a guy with a lot of titles—he’s a walking legend. Known as the Exemplar, the Risen, and the Soul-Severed (just to name a few), Eidolon is fighting his way to Terra for the final showdown of the Horus Heresy. But of course, nothing’s ever that simple. He’s stranded on Tatricala, haunted by spectres of his past, and wrestling with a destiny that’s hanging by a thread. Eidolon: The Auric Hammer by Marc Collins is an intense ride through Eidolon’s inner and outer battles, available next week in hardback, eBook, and audiobook formats.

Reinforcements arrive to tip the scales, but as always, the jungle has other plans.
