Wield fire, faith, and yet more fire with the Adepta Sororitas, hyper-zealous warrior-nuns who spread the good word of the God-Emperor at the end of a boltgun. They channel their intense belief in the Master of Mankind’s divine might into tangible Acts of Faith on the battlefield. An Ork army list, with an explanation of the Clan keyword, Power of the Waaagh! psychic discipline and the 'Ere We Go! and Mob Rule Abilities;

A Genestealer Cults army list, with an explanation of the Broodmind psychic discipline and the Cult Ambush, Unquestioning Loyalty and Brood Brothers Abilities; The Adeptus Custodes are the Emperor’s own bodyguards – the best of the best, the mightiest mortal soldiers in the galaxy, who have mastered the Martial Ka’tah. Alongside these golden heroes, the psychic nulls of the Sisters of Silence combat the warp with their mere presence. An overview of the Ynnari (an Eldar alliance of followers of Ynnead introduced in the Gathering Storm); The newest xenos* faction in Warhammer 40,000 came out swinging, and the Leagues of Votann continue their obstinate ways in the new edition. Grudges and gunfire are just you need to satisfy the Eye of the Ancestors.

Topic info

An overview of the Orks and their 6 main clans – Goffs, Evil Sunz, Bad Moons Deathskulls, Blood Axes and Snakebites; Vigilus Defiant • Vigilus Ablaze • Shadowspear • Psychic Awakening ( Phoenix Rising • Faith and Fury • Blood of Baal • Ritual of the Damned • The Greater Good • Saga of the Beast • Engine War • War of the Spider • Pariah) I'm surprisingly excited to play, as I've been pretty down on 9th edition overall and stopped playing over a year ago, as I was just generally bored and frustrated with how the game was. GW has kept some things I don't like (I Go, You Go turn structure), but overall simplified the stratagem system, which was absolutely bloated between 8th and 9th. I also like the general simplification and mostly the removal of Aura abilities, so now you know when a character is attached to a unit, you simply have that buff on that unit and no need to worry about a bubble. It feels like this is an overall move towards consolidation of rules with Age of Sigmar, which I'm happy about, as I think AoS generally plays better and is more fluid than 40k has been in the past. A Craftworlds army list, with an explanation of the Craftworld keyword, the Runes of Battle and Runes of Fate psychic disciplines and the Battle Focus and Ancient Doom Abilities; - 45 datasheets for Craftworld Aeldari miniatures.

Angron’s World Eaters are the bloodthirsty, maniacal warriors you know and love, joining the new edition with myriad Blessings of Khorne. Tomorrow brings the rest of the Imperium, with the Xenos factions and the first Munitorum Field Manual (which contains all the points) of the new edition arriving later in the week.As the Tyranids barrel into the far side of the galaxy, the Genestealer Cults draw their gaze with secretive underground operations. The Day of Ascension is at hand, and no Imperial oppressors will see the Cult Ambush coming from beneath their feet. Chaos Knights are fear incarnate, Harbingers of Dread who impose an aura of sheer terror wherever they tread. Unlike their Imperial counterparts,* they couldn’t care less for the tenets of honour, instead taking all the glory and slaughter for themselves – and themselves alone. The sons of Mortarion sap the toughness of nearby enemies by spreading Nurgle’s Gift, marching in an unstoppable wave and leaving infected objectives firmly under their control. A Harlequins army list, with an explanation of the Masque keyword, the Phantasmancy psychic discipline and the Rising Crescendo Ability;

A Necrons army list, with an explanation of the Dynasty keyword, Reanimation Protocols, Living Metal, and Powers of the C'Tan Abilities; WAAAGH! Get yer boots on, ladz – there’s fightin’ to be done. Other factions might be messing around with fancy powers and shiny gubbins, but the Orks can krump ‘em all with sheer mass, noise, and unspeakable violence. In the dark depths of Commorragh, the Drukhari prepare their raids into realspace with even faster, deadlier troops who draw Power From Pain. These Index datacards contain profiles for every xenos unit in the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, accompanied by fresh army and Detachment rules for each. Ultramarines • White Scars • Iron Hands • Raven Guard • Salamanders • Imperial Fists • Silver TemplarsTomb Worlds continue to awaken as the galaxy slides further into turmoil, and the Necrons are revitalised by Reanimation Protocols. They also benefit greatly from the new Leader rules, as oversight from Overlords upgrades their legions of shambling Necron Warriors . Craftworld Aeldari have always manipulated fate through psychic precognition, and they take this ability right into games of Warhammer 40,000 with the new-look Strands of Fate. The Adeptus Mechanicus are the machinists who keep the Imperial war machine going, and they’re not adverse to a little front-line action themselves. If strange technology, strict Doctrina Imperatives, and the logical certainty of steel is your vibe, Mars has the post-humans for you.
