Games Workshop opened its Warhammer previews at AdeptiCon this weekend. The company focused on new Armageddon-era releases.

Yarrick and the Armageddon return

Commissar Yarrick returns as a central figure. A new book series will spotlight his role in the conflict.

Reports of his death have been questioned by the narrative. Fans will see explanations in upcoming material.

Ork leadership remains a key unknown. The previews did confirm Wazdakka Gutsmek’s reappearance.

Wazdakka arrives as a boxed miniature for the first time. He is presented as the fastest Ork, arriving on a bike.

The Astra Militarum received several new entries. Two fresh vehicle options were revealed for the setting.

Commissar Graves was introduced as a named character. She will be supplied with a personal transport model.

Adeptus Sororitas reinforcements are part of the release wave. Intranzia Fraye appears aboard a custom throne walker.

Inquisitorial forces also expanded. Inquisitor Kroyle was shown as a big game hunter with full inquisitorial authority.

Games Workshop unveiled battalion boxes aimed at Armageddon campaigns. These boxes are meant to help players field larger forces.

The new battalions will simplify army building for the new campaign. They target both collectors and competitive players.

The AdeptiCon Preview stream suffered some technical issues during the live show. Presentations continued despite intermittent problems.

Organizers hope to stabilize the feed for the weekend. Fans following the Warhammer 40K reveals were still treated to multiple announcements.

Miniatures, rules, and narrative content tied to Armageddon Return are scheduled to roll out. Hobbyists should watch upcoming release calendars.
