Games Workshop has announced a new Warhammer World will be opening up in the United States. Warhammer World is more than a store and features displays, food, and gaming area. The company has said they aren’t going to completely copy the Warhammer World in Nottingham UK, but they said it’ll be a “flagship venue that celebrates Warhammer in all its forms: gaming, painting, modelling, storytelling, events, and community.”
The new facility will open its doors in late 2027 “just outside” Washington, DC.
Games Workshop has some history with the area having had their US headquarters in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The DC area boasts multiple Games Workshop stores and there’s ample space to launch a destination such as this in either Virginia or Maryland.
We’ll absolutely keep updates as to the project and make sure to visit it when it launches in 2027.
Games Workshop has announced its New Year Warhammer Preview Live! 2026 will stream January 16th at 7:30pm GMT and feature news about Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and Blood Bowl.
We know that we’ll get more info about the 500 Worlds of Ultramar for 40K but we’re also getting some reveals already for Huron Blackheart and his Red Corsairs. The Chaos Space Marine piratical force is one of the two main releases that’ll be upcoming for a 40K event, the other being new Aeldari.
So far, we’ve gotten a look at the new Huron Blackheart figure as well as Garreon the Corpsemaster, the former Apothecary of the Astral Claws.
Get a look at them below as well as the tease of the rest of Huron Blackheart’s retinue.
While details are slim, Games Workshop has announced a new edition of Warhammer Quest, “Darkwater.” The new edition is set within the Mortal Realms of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.
Evil lurks in the dark, there’s something in the water, and the whole of Ghyran is under threat.
It’s probably time to gather together a band of heroes, renegades, and misfits, and go on a Quest…
What perils await our group of intrepid adventurers within the ruins of the Jade Abbey? We’ll find out when more details are released in the coming weeks!
The original Warhammer Quest was a dungeon crawling board game and released in 1995 as a successor to HeroQuest and Advanced HeroQuest. It spawned numerous expansions and that original release wrapped up in 1998 and has since become a grail game for many.
HeroQuest, originally a joint venture between Milton Bradley and Games Workshop, was released in 1989 and was rereleased by Avalon Hill in 2020 with a crowdfunding a campaign with numerous expansions since in 2020.
Warhammer Quest was revived with Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower in 2017 which was followed up with Warhammer Quest: Shadows Over Hammerhal in 2017, Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress in 2018, and Warhammer Quest: Cursed City in 2021.

Prices are influx across the board, especially in the United States, for a range of factors. Games Workshop has announced that it’s increasing prices on “some” products starting October 6, 2025. The company hasn’t announced price increases due to recent tariffs by President Donald Trump, but it’s hard to not think the two are connected.
The average price will increase about 4% but the exact amount will vary by product. Some will increase more and some less. Products like paints, sprays, and paint sets aren’t changing at all.
Recently, Warlord Games announced it was passing along the increase cost of tariffs to consumers but crediting accounts for that amount.

See what’s kicking off the new year for Games Workshop. Pre-orders have revealed for next Saturday including the launch of the Empire for Warhammer: The Old World. Joining them for order are the Ironhead Squats for Necromunda and the powerful warmachine Luminark of Hysh for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.
Arcane Journal: Empire of Man is a 48-page supplement containing new rules, background lore, and scenarios. Included are profiles for named characters Harald Gemunsen, Grand Master Of The Knights Panther, and General Hans von Löwenhacke, plus numerous additional units, two Armies of Infamy comprising the Knightly Orders and the City-state of Nuln, and new magical items. You can get it as a softback book and an epub.
Kick off or expand your army with the Empire Of Man Battalion. It contains 30 State Troops and 30 State Missile Troops that provide the manpower while a mighty Steam Tank lays waste. This box also contains 2 new Empire of Man infantry transfer sheets, comprising 290 decals each.
Empire of Man Reference Card Pack, Dice Set, and Transfer Sheet will help keep things organized and show off your loyalty. The pack of 36 cards lets you quickly reference rules for magic items as well the tricks your Steam Tank can perform, while each set of 20 dice is cast in pearlescent swirl red plastic with gold pips and a Warhammer icon on the six face.
The new Empire of Man Transfer Sheet is covered with detailed emblems of the provinces of the Empire, plus regimental insignia, heraldry and iconography of the Knightly Orders, Marienburg, the City-state of Nuln, and other details – including tiny prayers to various gods which you can actually read…
Some classic kits will be returning too!
The General of the Empire on Imperial Griffon soars above the battlefield with an impressive sight to lead your army. This plastic kit also builds a Wizard Lord on Imperial Griffon – only this one has two heads.
The War Altar of Sigmar raises the spirits and incite the soldiers of the Empire with their zealous sermons, and the most senior are pulled into battle upon War Altars by heavily barded war horses.
Commanders of the Empire builds two heroes for your army. You get a mounted and one on foot, with an assortment of options to personalize them – building Champions, Generals and Standard-bearers.
Build up your forces with the Free Company Militia, Empire Pistoliers, Empire Knights, and Empire Demigryph Knights.
Sit back and rain death with Cannons & Mortars. This kit builds two great cannons or mortars, and comes with six crew.
Certain classic metal miniatures are also returning.
The Teutogen Guard Warriors and Command are the personal bodyguards of Ar-Ulric, the high priest of the Cult of Ulric. They are personally selected from the Knights of the White Wolf, a prestigious accolade worthy of their fearsome reputation. A set of five Teutogen Guard Warriors can be paired with three members of the Command Group.
Imperial Ogres make a return. They’re a mercenary unit that towers above the puny humans. There are two sets of three: one armed with hand weapons, the other with great weapons, and a dangerous individual casually brandishing a whole cannon.
Finally, there’s one resin kit to round out the first wave of releases.
The Empire of Man Command Set was initially released under the Warhammer Forge banner. It comprises of a General of the Empire, a Captain of the Empire with an impressive Battle Standard, and a Harbinger of Doom – who now has his own rules in the new Arcane Journal.
For Necromunda enter the Halls of the Ancients. The Ironhead Squat Prospectors came to Necromunda some 10,000 years ago as the Confederation of Urlish, and you can find out why they stayed in Halls of the Ancients. Inside the latest supplement for Necromunda, you’ll find a complete history of the Ironhead Squat Prospectors, updated rules for the gangs, including the new Exo-kyn and Svenotar Scout Trikes, plus rules for hired guns, hangers-on, Dramatis Personae and more. Stake your claim on this bounty of fresh new rules and lore in either hardback and ePub editions.
The Ironhead Squat Prospectors Exo-kyn are based on the void suits used long ago by their ancestors, and now employed to hunt treasure in the Necromundan ash wastes. They mine in the depths, far below the sump sea, and they’re quite happy to turn this equipment against anyone who attempts to steal their finds. This set of four Exo-kyn comes with two Techmite Exovator 078b automata, which help them survey for materials and fend off aggressors.
A classic gets updated with the Ironhead Squat Svenotar Scout Trikes. Rugged, dependable, and alarmingly fast, the Svenotar Scout Trike is light reconnaissance vehicle used by the Ironhead Squat Prospectors to roam ahead of the mining clans. Twin-linked weapons help them fend off rival gangs and their vehicles, while Techmite Oculi buzz alongside them, helping their riders zero in on targets with even greater accuracy.
Customize your gang with the Ironhead Squat Prospectors Weapons & Upgrades. The plastic Weapons and Upgrades kit will outfit your crew with new weapons, equipment, heads and arms. This set contains two sprues, including two-handed power axes and picks, flamers, melta guns, mining lasers, gem extractors, circular stone saws and more.
Keep organized and show off your loyalty with the Halls of the Ancients Gang Tactics Cards and Gang Dice.
The card pack features 26 Gang Tactics cards, which comprises 18 tactics cards and eight blank vehicle cards. Make sure you’re rolling in style with this set of eight gang dice featuring three six-sided dice, two injury dice, two firepower dice, and a scatter dice, all in a dark white and green swirl with gold ink.
For Warhammer: Age of Sigmar comes Luminark of Hysh. A powerful war machine that devastates enemies by focusing light through a series of finely crafted arcane optics, the Luminark of Hysh is fielded by the Cities of Sigmar in their efforts to purge Chaos from the Mortal Realms.
This kit has been slightly updated to fit better in Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, and can also be built as a Celestial Hurricanum, which will unleash magical storms rather than beams of light. It includes a Battlemage, who can be mounted on either machine, adding spellcasting prowess to proceedings.
From Black Library comes The Emperor’s Gift (Special Edition) by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Through an intensive regime of psychic training, new recruits are brought to the clandestine fortress of Titan to join the hallowed ranks of the 666th Chapter. These legendary battle-brothers must be vigilant and ever ready to defend the Imperium, for the forces of Chaos are never truly defeated.
The Special Edition features a faux leather cover, silver screen printing, and a silver bookmark. Each copy is numbered and signed by the author. It will be available while stocks last.
