Armageddon - Return to the Hive World
Unleashing the 11th Edition Armageddon Launch Box
The highly anticipated Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon boxed set marks the explosive dawn of the game's 11th edition, centering its narrative on one of the most iconic and war-torn settings in tabletop history. The narrative transports players back to the ash wastes and suffocating hive cities of Armageddon, where the Imperium faces a cataclysmic crisis following the return of legendary Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Thraka. To prevent the strategic world's total collapse, the Space Marines—spearheaded by the elite Blood Angels—have launched Operation Imperator. This grim backdrop sets the stage for a brutal, high-stakes collision between the rigid discipline of the Emperor's finest and a massive, swelling green tide of Orks determined to claim the planet once and for all.
Games Workshop is heavily positioning this comprehensive launch set as an essential, high-value transition for veterans and new players alike, packed with 61 brand-new, push-fit plastic miniatures that require no glue to assemble. Marketing points highlight a total range refresh for both factions, including an updated Space Marine Land Speeder, dynamic hero sculpts, and never-before-seen Ork units like the Dakkarig walking weapon platform. Beyond the models, the box is promoted as a complete gameplay evolution, featuring a conveniently sized, travel-friendly Core Rules booklet, refined mechanics that streamline combat flow without invalidating existing codex collections, and the randomized Dominatus Narrative Campaign Deck designed to provide a rich, progressive campaign experience right out of the box.
