Games Workshop have unveiled a miasma of licensed merchandise … and it’s slightly overwhelming.
As revealed today on the Games Workshop website, there’s a panoply of licensed Warhammer products either in the pipeline or newly released. Seriously, there’s so much new or incoming stuff that I’d burn a significant chunk of my life expectancy if I covered it all. That being the case, I humbly present what I consider to be the highlights from today’s preview:
1: Angron, the Angry Daemon Primarch of Khorne statue by JOYTOY
Check this guy out, with his big ol’ wings and tiny wee head! At 40cm in height and 60cm in width, he’s definitely an impressive statue. The Games Workshop website maintains this bad boy is already available for pre-order, but, at the time of writing, there’s no sign of him on the JOYTOY website.
2: Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopedia and Warhammer Video Game Art Book by DK
These two coffee table tomes detail the character miniatures from the grim future, and the wealth of artwork and concepts featured in the many and varied Warhammer 40,000 digital games. Both of these books are available now from DK.
3: New Warhammer 40,000 RPGs from Cubicle 7
I’ll be the first to admit that, having been fortunate enough to work on some of their RPGs in the past, I have a soft spot for Cubicle 7. But, it’s because I’ve worked for them that I know how good Cubicle 7 are, and, by extension, how good their forthcoming Warhammer RPGs will be.
Those new RPGs include Horus Heresy, in which players assume the role of Legionary Consuls caught in the aftermath of the infamous betrayal at Isstvan. Those players will also create a secondary character, such as a Naval commander, a Remembrancer, or an Iterator, and they’ll play these characters when their particular skills are required.
There’s also a new RPG from the Old World due for release from Cubicle 7, but today’s update doesn’t include any details as to what it may be. Be sure we’ll fill you in as and when we know.
The above is very much a truncated summary of these new releases. See the Games Workshop website for the full list.

A large, intricately detailed statue of Angron, the Daemon Primarch of Khorne, stands prominently. He features massive, bat-like wings and a fierce expression, with a head that appears relatively small compared to his muscular body. Adorned with skulls and ornate armor, he wields a large sword in one hand and a weapon in the other, standing on a textured base that enhances the dramatic effect of the figure. The color palette includes deep reds, blacks, and metallic tones, emphasizing his menacing presence.
The image features the logo of Cubicle 7, a tabletop role-playing game publisher. The design is a square with a black background, prominently displaying the words "CUBICLE" at the top and "SEVEN" at the bottom in white capital letters. In the center, there is a circular emblem with the number "7" in a bold, stylized font, surrounded by a thin white ring. The overall aesthetic is clean and modern, emphasizing the brand's identity in the gaming community.
The image features two hardcover books side by side on a light surface. On the left is the "Video Game Art" book, showcasing a collage of vibrant artwork from various Warhammer video games, with a bold black title across the center. On the right is the "Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopedia," which has a dark cover adorned with intricate illustrations of characters, along with the author's name, Wade Pryce, at the bottom. The overall presentation highlights the rich visual and narrative elements of the Warhammer universe.
