It’s a Warhammer 40,000 heavy pre-order weekend as Games Workshop has kicked off 2026 with the launch of its 500 Worlds storyline. Along with a new campaign book, there’s also new miniatures in Captain Titus for the Ultramarines, the Nekrosor Ammentar and C’tan Shard of the Nightbringer for Necrons and more. See what you’ll be able to pre-order on January 10.

After facing many difficult challenges, Demetrian Titus has been awarded the position of Captain of the Ultramarines 2nd Company (again), and now finds himself in the middle of a seemingly impossible task – though there is nowhere he would rather be than in the midst of bloody battle.

Captain Titus and The Wardens of Ultramar contains Captain Titus, Veteran Sergeant Metaurus and Ancient Gadriel, as well as Lucia Vestha, a plenipotentiary of Ultramar; the Astropath Dainal Kornelius; Gaius Silva, veteran commodore of the Ultramar Defence Fleet; and Aemelia Minervas, a Legatus in the Ultramar Defence Auxilia and commander of the 30th Macragge Defence Auxilia, who are attached to Captain Titus’ fleet. There are two head options for both the Astropath Kornelius and Veteran Sergeant Metaurus.

The Nekrosor Ammentar is so horrifying even the otherwise implacable Necrons fear it, Nekrosor Ammentar is a locus for a murderous psychosis that enraptures Necrons. Over many centuries its form has become more and more tailored to destroying organic life, forcing Crypteks to outfit it with bladed limbs, a serpentine tail, enmitic projectors that allow it to tunnel through battlefields, and the devastating unmaker gauntlet. Despite its twisted form, Nekrosor Ammentar retains a fierce intelligence and has amassed a huge following, many inflicted with the Destroyer curse, others allying themselves with the terror for their own purposes. Its true motives unknown, Nekrosor Ammentar is now invading the region of space known by the Imperium as Ultramar. This miniature will receive a datasheet via Warhammer Community.

Once a sadistic god with the power to unmake the stars, the Nightbringer was shattered by the Necrons and the remaining fragments have been enslaved. The C’tan Shard of the Nightbringer is one of these imprisoned fragments, unleashed by the Necron dynasties upon enemies they want to humble in obliteration. A constantly shifting, living metal necrodermis assumes the form of a robed figure of death, armed with a scythe that flows out of its morbid form. With a single sweep of this blade it can cut down swathes of lesser foes, draining the life from opponents with a glance that does a cool D6+3 damage. Updated rules for this miniature will be released here on Warhammer Community.

500 Worlds: Titus – The Battle for Unity Begins kicks off a new campaign storyline for Warhammer 40,000. Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines has commanded Captain Demetrian Titus to reclaim the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.
