With the annual wargaming event now underway, we've gotten our annual drop of massive Warhammer AdeptiCon reveals. This time around, that ranges from a brand-new edition of a beloved game to the return of some unexpected old faces.
Because a lot was unveiled, I've rounded up the most interesting Warhammer AdeptiCon reveals below. We don't have a release date for many of these just yet, but because Warhammer doesn't usually like to keep fans waiting, they should be joining board games for adults on shelves before long.
An all-new, from-the-ground-up edition of Warhammer 40,000 is now on the horizon, and it's set to change things in a massive way. For starters, the rules are being designed with a more beginner-friendly slant. While the game will still have all the tactical depth it's known for, 10th Edition is focusing on reducing barriers to entry wherever possible - which means that some complex elements like organizational charts are being ditched.
While this means that current Codexes aren't going to be compatible with 10th Edition rules, you shouldn't have to replace them. Instead, all armies and units are getting free rules upon launch. These rules will eventually be superseded with brand-new Codexes, of course, but that seems to be a ways down the road.
In terms of the cover-factions leading the charge, 10th Edition stars old-school Space Marine Terminators and revamped alien Tyranids. You can find out more in my story on how the new Warhammer 40K 10th Edition brings in some big changes.
A new boxset ending the story of the Gallowdark - a derelict starship that everyone's been squabbling over for several instalments of Kill Team - is on the way, and players will be rushing to collect supplies before it crashes.
