🔥 Summer Warhammer Preview 2025 – Full Recap
🌟 Opening Announcement: A New Era of Warhammer
Games Workshop kicked off the 2025 Summer Preview with a cinematic reveal setting the stage for a sweeping new era across all Warhammer lines. The theme? “The Fracturing” — a universal shift in the Warhammer multiverse as old empires crumble, ancient heresies resurface, and new factions rise from the ashes.
🛡️ Warhammer 40,000 – The Great Rift Widens
🔥 New Codex: Space Marines – The Emperor’s Wrath
- New Chapter: The Radiant Coven – a secretive Space Marine Chapter formed from the remnants of the Blood Angels and the Black Templars, wielding flame-forged power and a crusade against the Daemons of the Eye of Terror.
- Mechanics: Introduces “Blazing Oath” — a new psychic power system for Chapters that can choose to burn through their own humanity to gain devastating combat prowess.
- Notable Units:
- Sanguinary Champion – now a dedicated Tactic Bearer with a soul-weapon that grows stronger with every kill.
- Soulflame Dreadnought – a new super-heavy tank with a permanently active Soulflame Core that emits a psychic pulse.
🐲 New Factions:
-
The Drowned Hand (Tainted Chaos)
- A Chaos Space Marine faction tied to the Daemonic corruption of the oceanic voids.
- Built around Tides of the Abyss, a new psychic discipline that allows them to summon tidal waves and summon daemonic leviathans.
- Unique mechanic: “Sink to the Depths” — when they fall below 50% health, they can teleport into the void and re-emerge elsewhere.
-
The Unity of the Hegemony (New Imperial Faction)
- A new Astra Militarum faction born from the merging of the Imperial Guard, Mechanicus, and Inquisition under a single warlord: Grand Marshal Illyra Volkar.
- Features “Unity Doctrine” — a new rule that allows combined arms tactics across all three branches.
🧠 Major Rule Update: Psychic Awakening 2.0
- Psychic tests now include “Fate-Weaving”, where players can risk their own character’s fate (e.g., losing a unit) to gain powerful psychic powers.
- New “Heresy Dice” system — d12s that roll for fate corruption, with higher rolls increasing the risk of psychic backlash.
🌌 Warhammer Age of Sigmar – The End of All Things
🌪️ New Grand Alliance: The Architects of the Weave
- Debut of the first Sigmarite faction to wield true magic of the Weave.
- Led by The Weaver-Emperor, a godlike entity forged from the souls of dead gods.
- Key Units:
- Architect of Destiny – can rebuild entire battlefields mid-game.
- Spirebound Drones – swarm units that phase between realms and reassemble after destruction.
🧩 New Battle Focus: “The Weave of Fate”
- A new gameplay mode that allows players to manipulate the battlefield’s terrain and initiative order using magic points.
- Certain spells now allow players to save and replay one action per turn — a game-changing mechanic.
🪐 New Realms of Sigmar:
- The Ascendant Realms – a new plane where dead gods are reborn as mortal warlords.
- The Weeping City of Elyria – a new region for the Gardens of Sigmar, now a corrupted sanctuary where nature fights back.
🎯 Kill Team – Shadows of the Warp
🌑 New Kill Team: “The Mourners”
- Elite Inquisitorial unit specializing in soul-hunting and psychic assassination.
- Features “Soul-Siphon” ability — when they eliminate a psyker, they gain temporary psychic powers.
- New roster includes:
- Sister of Silence – a mute assassin who communicates only through psychic implants.
- The Hollow – a shapeshifter from the Dark Angels, now hunted for a heresy he didn’t commit.
🔫 New Weapon Line: “Phantomfire”
- Energy weapons that disappear after firing, leaving no trace.
- Used in a new “Invisible Kill” mechanic — if the kill is successful, the team can disappear from enemy scans for one turn.
⚔️ Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – The Fall of the Primarchs
🐉 New Cycle: “The Screaming Sky”
- Focuses on the fall of Horus Lupercal, but from a new angle: the deaths of the lesser Primarchs and how they were manipulated.
- New Primarch: Malcador the Unreliant
- A controversial new Primarch (originally thought to be dead) who returns to fight against his own lieutenants.
- His story explores the cost of loyalty in the face of truth.
📜 New Narrative Mechanic: “The Rumors of Truth”
- Players can uncover hidden lore cards during games that alter the story based on choices made.
- Some choices lead to permanent story branches — meaning the game’s outcome changes the lore for future play.
🏛️ Legions Imperialis – The Eternal War
🏰 New Tactical Objective: “The Last Banner”
- A new game mode where both sides battle to raise and defend a single banner on a battlefield that changes every turn.
- When a side captures the banner, they gain a new unit type based on their army’s faction.
🔥 New Legion: The Iron Covenant of Eternity
- A faction of ancient Roman-inspired Imperium legions who believe they are the true rulers of the galaxy.
- Special rules: “Eternal Oath” — once a unit is sworn to a commander, it cannot be removed from the battlefield.
🕷️ Warhammer Underworlds – The City of the Dead
🏛️ New Arena: “The Altar of the Nine Gods”
- A floating city built on the back of a dead titan, now a war-torn gladiator arena.
- Features dynamic terrain — walls collapse, arenas shift, and new zones unlock as players progress.
🪓 New Factions:
- The Bone Choir – undead musicians who use “Soul Songs” to control enemy units.
- The Red Scourge – a cult of berserkers who gain strength from dying.
🎮 New Game Mode: “Rise of the Echoes”
