Warhammer Community debuts the Armoured Gauntlet rules for Warhammer 40,000, introducing the SPEARHEAD keyword for large Vehicles/Monsters (10+ wounds, excluding aircraft/fortifications and hover). When their last unsaved wound would be taken, spearhead units roll on new damage tables instead of dying, with Damage Tokens potentially causing explosions. The system includes faction-specific tables, upgrades for veteran units, and dedicated mission sets—12 total—with nine balanced battles and three asymmetrical challenges. The expansion Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick adds the Armoured Gauntlet book, lore, and new Detachments, with pre-orders opening this weekend.

Also available is the Null Myriad Phalanx led by Arkhan the Black, with Mortek Guard and Morghast units, which can be used as the Army of Renown. The box adds new battle packs and twists for fast, tactical play. Note: the special edition HIVE release has been delayed. Pre-orders are stock-limited and open now.

A Czech homeowner unearthed a nearly 9-inch stone mold used for casting Bronze Age spearheads, dating to about 1350 B.C. The rhyolite tuff mold, likely imported from northern Hungary, shows signs of repeated use and serial production, suggesting broader trade and production networks in Central Europe. The artifact was found in 2007, studied in detail by researchers and published in 2025, highlighting how such molds facilitated bronze casting and offering a glimpse into Urnfield-era metallurgy and exchange.
