What Will Be Revealed At The First 2025 Warhammer Preview Event?
Emperor’s Children, Beastmen, And Soulblight Gravelords All Teased
While Games Workshop didn’t give any firm details on their plans for later this month, the preview images provided some pretty big teases. One figure, holding a sword and whip with large pipelike instruments strapped to their back, is almost certainlyan updated version of Lucius the Eternal, a member of the Chaos Space Marines' Emperor’s Children chapter. Games Workshop has been teasing new models for the Emperor’s Children for several weeks and revealedtheir leader Fulgrimon Christmas Day, so Lucius makes sense as a subsequent reveal.
Another silhouette shows a knight riding on a skeletal horse, which is almost certainly tied to the Soulblight Gravelords.The Black Knights currently used by the vampiric army first appeared inWarhammer Fantasy,so it stands to reason that they’re getting a refresh. Other previews include what appears to be a Beastman forWarhammer: The Old Worldand a large robot that matches a similar model used in the Horus Heresy game. Most of these miniatures will likely be released in the spring of this year.
Our Take: We Can’t Wait To See The Emperor’s Children In Action
These Could Be Some Of The Best Chaos Space Marines Yet
The Emperor’s Children have some of the coolest miniatures inWarhammer 40Kin the formof Noise Marines, notoriously loud marines that use sonic blasters and instruments to disorient and kill their foes. Just those reveals should keep fans pretty happy,although we’re excited to see what Games Workshop has in store for its other games too.
We’re particularly interested in theWarhammer: Age of Sigmarreveals, as those sculpts tend to be among the best fantasy miniatures around.
