This announcement comes on the heels of their reveal of the 2024 Red Gobbo commemorative miniature, the “A-bomb-inable Snowman,” continuing their tradition of special holiday releases.
The company confirmed that these special holiday detachments will complement, rather than replace, existing Codex options.
The long-awaited Deathwatch Army Index is
coming!
Each new release has been specifically designed to address popular demand, support existing player collections, or explore army narratives that aren’t fully covered in current or upcoming Codexes. Notably, the release schedule will include the previously promised Deathwatch army index.
All detachments will be compatible with both matched play and Crusade formats, with enhancement points included in each release for immediate gameplay integration.
While the content will initially be available as downloadable files, Games Workshop plans to incorporate all new detachments into the Warhammer 40,000 App by early January.
The announcement also teased similar holiday content planned for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, with details to be revealed soon.
This festive initiative marks one of the largest simultaneous content releases for the Warhammer 40,000 community, bringing what Games Workshop playfully describes as a “Tyranid hive fleet hungry for roasted biomass” worth of new gaming options to fans this holiday season.
