Things are heating up for the Octarius sector, as a rising tide of Tyranids as Hive Fleet Leviathan crashes into an Ork empire.

Book 1 of War Zone Octarius is coming next week, and it’s Tyranids vs. Orks with a colossal tide rising. Sure, it’s two enemies of the Imperium fighting against each other, so it seems like a win-win situation, but if you’re deploying to the Octarius sector, it’s probably bad news for you. But great news for 40K Players as the next big story/campaign book is set for pre-order release.

With it come new rules, updated powers for Tyranids, and we get to see what all Cadia’s remnant legions have been up to. Let’s take a look!

Former Inquisitor Kryptmann’s meddling has brought Hive Fleet Leviathan right into the heart of a colossal Ork empire, where elite kill teams fight desperate missions to hold back the tide.

Find out how the Imperium is handling the sudden explosion of violence, grant your own Tyranids terrifying new synaptic abilities, and marshal the might of Cadia’s remaining regiments in War Zone Octarius Book 1: Rising Tide, available for pre-order on Saturday in hardback or a luxurious collector’s edition.

Octarius Mission Pack: Containment sees the return of deadly Planetstrike missions to Warhammer 40,000, where stoic defenders must look to the skies as their foes rain from the heavens across 21 new narrative play scenarios for Crusade campaigns.

You get new missions, new rules, and of course, a new set of dice stamped with the sigil of Ordo Xenos.

But it’s not just the grim darkness of 40K coming next week. We get some fantastic looking Horus Heresy minis coming up for pre-order next weekend too. Like the Sons of Horus Legion Praetor:

Or if you want to bring some utterly devastating weapons to the table, you might try the Legion Mk IV Destroyer Squad:

They count rad weapons, phosphex bombs, and even darker weaponry among their arsenal, and march to war in distinctive fire-blackened armour that most Legionnaires consider tainted at best.
