Summer’s new release machine has come to a grinding halt, but we got a revamped rumor roadmap of what we may see coming to stores for the rest of 2018!
There are only a few more codex books yet to appear for Warhammer 40k, but 2018 looks to be chock full of hobby releases from Games Workshop still.
Games Workshop has already told us a lot of what’s coming throughout the rest of the year, so we went back and compiled all the new release information, and rumors into one post.
The following is a compilation of what we know is on the way so far, and when we think we can expect to see it based off official announcements and rumors. From the looks of it, July will be a very busy month release wise for Warhammer 40k.

2018 New Release Roadmap
With datasheets for using your Forge World Adeptus Custodes, an expanded list of units for the Grey Knights, and rules for using your Sisters of Silence as a standalone army, this book is going to be a treat for Imperium players .
Q3
- Talons of the Emperor Imperial Armor (GK, Custodes, Sisters)

Prior to 2017, there was always a 40k Imperial Armor released late summer (technically they followed this pattern last year with the Index: Imperial Armor) and a new Horus Heresy supplement around the holidays, which still happened of sorts with the new red book update.
Q4
- Codex: Space Wolves (Lates Sept/Oct)

- Sisters of Battle
Delayed:
- Imperial Armor: The Fires of Cyraxus (written to 7th Edition 40k, needs a revamp per Warhamerfest 2018)
So looks like for whatever game system you play, there are a lot of releases coming your way in 2018. Fans of Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Shadespire, Necromunda, and Horus Heresy all have something to look forward to this year.
What do you think about the releases we know so far? Are you looking forward to a crazy ramp-up of 40k in July/Auguts?
