Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon

The box set is scheduled for pre-order on June 6, 2026, with a full retail release in stores on June 20, 2026.

The new Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon launch box is the massive starter set for the game's 11th edition. Announced at AdeptiCon 2026, the set is narratively centered on the war-ravaged world of Armageddon, where the Imperium faces a renewed, devastating Ork invasion.

Key Features and Contents

The box is positioned as the largest starter release to date. It includes a total of 61 plastic, push-fit miniatures:

• 23 push-fit Space Marines: Includes updated takes on classic Space Marine units, new weapon options, updated armour styles, and a new version of the classic Land Speeder.

• 38 push-fit Orks: Includes refreshed Ork units along with new unit types, including the Bigboss and Dakkarig.

Additional materials in the box include:

• The Core Rules booklet for the 11th edition: A compact A5 softcover version of the new edition core rules, designed for easy reference during games and convenient transport.

• The Armageddon: Operation Imperator lore book: An exclusive 114-page book focused on the conflict across Armageddon, featuring new lore, artwork, maps, and background material.

• The Chapter Approved 2026-27 Mission Deck: Includes missions and objectives for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000.

• Dominatus Narrative Campaign Deck: A campaign system that lets players connect multiple games into a larger ongoing Warhammer 40,000 campaign.

• Armageddon datasheet cards and a themed transfer sheet.

Edition Highlights

The 11th edition introduces significant gameplay refinements designed to evolve the system without invalidating existing collections:

• Tactical Depth: Objective markers are moving away from circular discs toward terrain-based zones, and cover now affects hit rolls rather than armor saves.

• Army Building: Players can now mix multiple detachments, with over 70 new or updated options available at launch.

• Gameplay Flow: Combat resolution has been refined for better speed and clarity, and units gain new abilities to hide from enemy firepower through "concealment" rules.
