Games Workshop Pre-Order Preview: Adeptus Custodes and Old World Armies Get Army Boxes

Posted on August 24, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

It’s an army in a box sort of pre-order coming for Games Workshop. New pre-orders have revealed Adeptus Custodes for use in Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: The Horus Heresy as well as numerous Battle March Army Boxes for Warhammer: The Old World.

The Custodes Support Battle Group can be used in both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. The box updates a trio of units into modern, detailed – and more importantly, plastic – forms. Each box contains four Gyrfalcon jetbikes, a Pallas Grav-attack, and a Telemon Dreadnought.

The Custodes Support Battle Group is only available while stocks last.

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Journal Tactica – Prospero Burns: Judgement of Valdor reveals how the indomitable Legio Custodes were dragged into the Burning of Prospero and how they fought the scourge of sorcery at every turn – including when daemons started popping up. This softback book contains a huge amount of background information on the assault on Tizca and the spirited defence of the Thousand Sons, plus new scenarios, game rules, extra units, and a brand new army list for Daemons of Tzeentch – just as planned.

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legio Custodes Dice Set allows to show off your loyalty. Cast in pearlized red acrylic with gold pips, you get 19 D6 (with the Legio Custodes logo in place of the ‘6’) and a scatter dice. These dice are only available while stocks last.

Warhammer: The Old World – Battle March Army boxes allow players to dip their toes into the game. They are perfect for quick 400-750 point action-packed games.

Five factions are getting new Battle March army boxes to help you deploy a force perfect for this game mode. They are:

Empire of Man

Commander of the Empire
20 Empire State Troops
10 State Missile Troops
10 Empire Archers
10 Flagellants
5 Empire Pistoliers

Beastmen Brayherds

Beastman Chieftain

Tiranoc Chariot

Orc & Goblin Tribes

Battle Standard Bearer
Goblin Shaman
15 Orc Mob
5 Wolf Riders
5 Orc Boar Boyz Mob

Each box is also an ideal starting point for a new army, and you’ll save money compared to buying the contents individually.

From Black Library comes Raldoron: Revenant by Guy Haley. With Sanguinius attempting to stop Horus’ advance to Terra, Raldoron of the Blood Angel Legion is forced to rely on untrained Inductii, and he comes across the many issues that lay with such fresh recruits. Can his example and command be enough to stop these new Legionaries turning insane from the Red Thirst, or will their violent nature cause a shift back to the blood-soaked past of the Revenant Legion and lead to a dire situation?

Raldoron: Revenant will be available in its regular hardback edition as well as an awesome Special Edition release, which is signed by the author and features red foil on the cover and spine, a nice ribbon page marker, and loads of other extra details.

The Special Edition is only available while stocks last. This will be your first chance to buy the hardback edition, which will only be available while stocks last, although it may return to print at a future date.
