Leviathan is past and 10th Edition is here at last. After the hype, leaks, and reveals, the 10th Edition core products launch for pre-order next week.

Well we’re here folks. Staring down the barrel of a new edition once more. Come Saturday June 24th, everyone can officially get in on 10th Edition, whether you snagged a Leviathan box or not. The a la carte Core Rulebook, Mission Deck, Unit Datacards & more are here for everyone.

Here’s what’s coming:

Warhammer 40,000 Core Book

“Every edition comes with a hefty tome to start things off, and this one is no different. The Warhammer 40,000 Core Book is a weighty, 280-page hardback book that contains everything you need to start your journey into the grim darkness of the far future.

It contains dozens upon dozens of pages of lore and artwork detailing the history that underpins Warhammer 40,000 and the events unfolding across its dying stars, as well as faction focus sections with background info and miniature galleries. You’ll also get the core rules for the game, plus rules for playing Combat Patrol games – including six missions. “

Warhammer 40,000 Index Cards

“Next week you’ll also be able to pre-order a set of physical Index cards for every faction in Warhammer 40,000. These provide all the datasheets for that faction, plus their army rules and a themed Detachment. These are already available for free online in a regularly updated PDF format, but these physical cards give you a handy resource to use at the table and save time swiping through your phone or tablet. “

Chapter Approved: Leviathan Mission Deck

“Enter the world of matched play with the Leviathan mission deck, which contains the 66 cards you’ll need to generate and play Chapter Approved missions, plus rules for using them and a sheet of six cardboard objective tokens. Five Deployment cards work with nine Primary Mission cards and 12 Mission Rules cards to create over 400 different missions for you to play. Mix things up mid-game with 16 Attacker and 16 Defender Secondary Mission cards, as well as four Attacker and four Defender Gambit cards. It’s a quick and simple way to battle over unique and balanced missions.”

 

“The Crusade game mode has been revamped, and you’ll even be able to update your existing campaigns for the new edition with free rules coming next week. This 184-page Crusade: Tyrannic War book provides the full new Crusade rules, then expands the experience with rules and missions that evoke the nightmarish Tyranid invasion at the heart of the Fourth Tyrannic War.

Bespoke Battle Traits, Crusade Relics, Crusade Blessings and Agendas feature alongside traits for Monster Hunters and Striding Behemoths – usable by any faction, not just the hungry Hive Mind and its Imperial prey – as well as 15 Tyrannic War Crusade Missions that tell the story of the Galactic West under attack by numerous Hive Fleets. There’s also plenty of background information detailing this invasion and the consequences for the Bastior Sub-sector. “
