The mighty warriors of Fenris and the heroes of the Deathwatch are getting reinforcements this week with two new codexes and loads of minis.

That’s right, Space Wolves and Death Watch are getting new books–and a new boxed set with a Combat Patrol sized force each. Let’s take a look at what is new for these heroes of the Imperium.

It looks like a variation on Reivers, with bolt pistols, knives, and the signature grappling hook–but they come equipped with runic totems designed to protect them from evil magicks while they get in close.

There’s also a new Combat Patrol box coming for the Space Wolves.

And alongside all that, a new batch of minis previously confined to boxed sets are available individually. You can get the Astartes Outriders:

Ragnar Blackmane and Ghazghkull (and friend) too, and a

And finally ,the Imperial Armour Compendium is here, which includes 191 updated datasheets for Forge World models.
