Games Workshop announced 500 Worlds, a new narrative expansion for Warhammer 40,000, that will hit preorder on January 10, 2026.
In this new narrative expansion, Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines, has tasked Captain Demetrian Titus with reclaiming the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar. This massive expansion comes as a three softcover book and one booklet slipcase set that offers players new missions to play through to help Titus accomplish this monumental task. The first book, Titus, offers 80 pages of the lore involved with the Ultramarian Reclamation and information on the major players and their detachments.
The second book, Dread Incursions, includes the core rules for Boarding Actions games that happen in the 500 Worlds universe. It also has 12 new missions for players to tackle: six for standard terrain and six for Tomb World terrain. The book also has rules for two new detachments.
The third book in this set, War on the Vespator Front, has rules for running a map campaign on the Vespator Front. It gives players a framework to follow, information on the different theaters of war, and six missions to run through. The book also comes with a campaign map and a sticker sheet with 252 stickers.
Finally, the set comes with a 16-page Detachments booklet. It contains all the campaign-relevant information on the Space Marines’ Orbital Assault Force, Bastion Task Force, and Reclamation Force as well as the Necrons’ Pantheon of Woe, Cursed Legion, and Cryptek Conclave forces.
Games Workshop also placed Siege Assault Battle Group, for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, onto preorder (see “New ‘Warhammer: The Horus Heresy’“).
