Games Workshop has unveiled Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, the flagship launch box for the 11th edition of Warhammer 40,000. Set against the backdrop of one of the most iconic conflicts in the setting, the new release brings players back to the embattled industrial world of Armageddon, where the Imperium once again faces the relentless fury of the Orks.
Return to a Legendary Warzone
Armageddon has long been one of the defining battlefields of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Famous for its massive wars against the Orks and the campaigns of the infamous Ghazghkull Thraka, the planet has become a symbol of humanity's determination to survive against overwhelming odds.
The new edition continues this story, placing players in the midst of a renewed struggle for control of the world. Blood Angels Space Marines descend into battle while vast Ork warbands gather for another brutal Waaagh! that threatens to engulf the planet.
Two Complete Armies
The box contains 61 newly designed Citadel miniatures split between two forces. The Space Marine contingent includes iconic heroes such as a Captain with Relic Shield, Librarian, Chaplain with Jump Pack, Ancient, Intercessors, Vanguard Veterans, Eradicators, and a heavily armed Land Speeder.
Opposing them is a formidable Ork force led by a mighty Warboss and supported by a Bigboss, Painboy, Weirdboy, Bannernob, Boyz, Gretchin, a fast-moving Wartrakk, and the imposing Big Mek Dakkarig.
A Complete Introduction to the 11th Edition
Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is far more than a collection of miniatures. The set provides everything required to begin exploring the new edition, including a dedicated lore book, a core rules booklet, mission cards, narrative campaign cards, unit datasheets, transfers, bases, and assembly guides.
This combination of miniatures, rules, and background material allows players to jump straight into battles while also exploring the rich narrative surrounding the latest phase of the Armageddon war.
Push-Fit Miniatures and Hobby Opportunities
All miniatures in the set are designed using push-fit construction, allowing many components to be assembled without glue. This makes the box especially welcoming for newcomers while still providing hobbyists with highly detailed models suitable for painting, collecting, and expanding into larger armies.
Many units include alternative heads, weapon options, and customization features, offering additional variety when building the forces.
The Beginning of a New Era
As the launch product for the 11th edition, Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon represents one of Games Workshop's most significant releases in recent years. With two complete armies, extensive narrative content, and a comprehensive introduction to the new ruleset, the box serves as both an ideal entry point for new players and a major event for long-time fans of the setting.
For anyone looking to experience the latest chapter of the eternal war for the galaxy, Armageddon offers an exciting first step into the grim darkness of the far future.
