Detachment Deep Dive: Salamanders, Raven Guard, and More

Warhammer Community previews updated Space Marine detachments for Codex: Space Marines, highlighting the Salamanders’ Forgefather’s Seekers which grant an extra devastator-doctrine use and boost Vulkan He’stan’s Infernus Squads, while Flamers shift to fixed shots with Blast but Salamanders keep their edge via Forged in Fire and Wrath and Ruin strategic options. The Raven Guard detachment, Shadowmark Talon, makes Stealth universal for Adeptus Astartes and introduces -3" detection for Phobos/Scout units, plus Aethon Shaan’s ability to deploy to Strategic Reserves once per battle. Suppressed Weapons lets a unit shoot while remaining hidden. The piece also notes upcoming updates to Ultramarines, Iron Hands, and Imperial Fists, the 4 enhancements/6 stratagems per detachment, and teases more detachments in Codex: Space Marines ahead of the pre-order.

Codex: Orks Unboxed — Pocket size, richer lore, and digital access

Warhammer Community walks through Codex: Orks, highlighting its new slipcase-softback design, smaller footprint, and a Collector’s Edition variant. The book boosts lore with a near-100-page bestiary, introduces a collector’s guide for six key detachments (with 15 total detachments to build Waaagh), and includes a back‑of‑book code to unlock Orks rules and ongoing updates in the Warhammer 40,000 app, plus eventual Orks Legends integration. Pre-orders start soon, and the codex’ compact size (180mm x 250mm) contrasts with last edition’s larger format.

World Eaters Reveal Three Bloodthirsty Detachments for the New Warhammer 40,000 Edition

Warhammer Community previews three World Eaters detachments for the new Warhammer 40,000 edition: Brazen Engines, Butchers of Khorne, and Vessels of Wrath. Each offers unique buffs and synergies—daemon vehicles with Terror of Khorne, upgraded Maulerfiends with Cleave 2, and Terminator/character boosts via Blessings of Khorne and related stratagems (Apoplectic Clarity, Archslaughterer, Aspire to Infamy)—enabling either a hard-hitting elite core or a brutal mixed army, with the option to combine into powerful 1‑detachment (1DP) or 2DP formations.

Holier Orders: Adepta Sororitas Unveil New 40k Detachments

Warhammer Community previews three new Adepta Sororitas detachments—Chorus of Condemnation, Celestian Sacresants, and Sanctified Orators—each bringing unique buffs: Condemnatory Psalms lets Fly infantry reveal and condemn hidden enemies (boosting detection range and aiding short-range fire), with Canoness with Jump Pack able to Deep Strike (range reduced to 8”). Exorcist stratagems gain +1 to hit against the targeted unit. Celestian Sacresants gain Holy Quest bonuses (+1 BS/WS) and the Writ of Compunction upgrade to add OC, plus Faithful Fortitude 1CP to weather mortal wounds. Sanctified Orators focus on upgrading key Characters (Rite of Revelation, Sermon of Intolerance, Chorus of Repudiation) via the Hagiomnifex, without counting toward total enhancements. All three detachments cost 1 Detachment Point and can be combined with other detachments to form a 2,000-point army; the piece hints at pairing Chorus of Condemnation with Bringers of Flame for extra close-range firepower.

Warhammer Community reveals two new Ork Detachments for Warhammer 40,000: Speedwaaagh! and Blitz Brigade.

Blitz Brigade focuses on disembarking antics and rapid charges, featuring Eager for the Fight, plus traits like Yooz in Trouble Now and Mount Up, Ladz to shuttle infantry back into transports.
