Ciaphas Cain and Ferik Jurgen are getting official plastic miniatures for Warhammer 40,000, with Cain posed heroically and Jurgen in Valhallan garb; the set can be built as two figures separately or on a larger base for a diorama. The release is paired with an illustrated and annotated edition of For the Emperor by Sandy Mitchell; pre-orders will be announced soon, and Cain’s latest adventures can be followed in Vainglorious.
Pre-orders are live for Armageddon-focused Warhammer 40,000 releases across Astra Militarum, Orks, Adepta Sororitas, and Imperial Agents, including Commissar Yarrick and allies; new battalions, expansions (Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick), dice sets, and Black Library novels/anthologies with collector’s editions and digital versions available while stocks last.
Two new Astra Militarum detachments—Armoured Infantry and Steel Hammer—debut in Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick, expanding armored play with Squadron Command, the On My Signal order, and buffs from Opening Salvo and Combined Fire for fast-moving Guardsmen; Steel Hammer emphasizes heavy tanks (including Baneblade as a potential Warlord) with Ceaseless Cannonade, plus enhancements like Assault Hatches and Engine of Wrath. Both detachments will be available in the Armageddon book and as free downloads from Warhammer Community this week, with Orky detachments teased for tomorrow.
Yarrick returns to Armageddon with new rules, Detachments, and story expansions in Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick, alongside new battalions, dice, and Black Library releases; preorder starts next week as Wazdakka's Speedwaaagh presses the Imperial defence.
Warhammer Community reveals the Astra Militarum’s upcoming rules: Commissar Graves debuts on her heavily modified Centaur Vigilance, supported by the Hippogriff AFV and the Centaur RSV. The Mechanised Spearhead rule lets nearby Regiment units gain an Order when troops disembark within 6 inches of Graves, while Vigilance’s Aquiline Prow mortal wounds boost her frontline punch and Manus Mortis pairs with her power fist. Graves can lead on foot as well, with Brutal Disciplinarian in both forms. The Centaur RSV can carry 10 Guardsmen plus two attendants and features a Firing Deck of 12, with Rapid Strike Vehicle boosting Officer Commands. The mobile Hippogriff offers flexible weapon options and squad options (two ships) for doubled impact, with more previews to come.
Armageddon is burning as Orks threaten the planet, and Commissar Sebastian Yarrick returns with a new miniature that nods to his past iterations, featuring his iconic pose, a blazing bionic eye, and a laspistol; the Warhammer Community piece previews the model and teases more on Yarrick's role in Armageddon, including a video and newsletter sign-up for updates.
