This week, top Warhammer games have huge updates, new units and plenty of freebies available for a limited time as part of the Warhammer Skulls festival – the franchise’s yearly gaming celebration.

Loyal to the Imperium or all about Chaos, you’ll find plenty of legendary warriors to your liking.

Fans of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game will be thrilled with the new Faction entering the battlefield in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus. The Emperor’s loyal bodyguards, the Adeptus Custodes, have arrived along with Tyrith Shiva Kyrus, whose martial prowess makes her a must-have unit for your impenetrable roster.

There’s also a special event taking place as part of the Warhammer Skulls festival, including daily missions and new Survival gameplay modes.

The deck-building card game, Warhammer Horus Heresy Legions, takes place in a galaxy-spanning civil war that’s plunged the Imperium of Man into turmoil. In this latest update, Astartes of the Shattered Legions are now battle-ready, including fan-favourite characters from the Horus Heresy novels, Shadrak Meduson and Nykona Sharrowkyn.

If you’re into the rich and complex lore of the Horus Heresy, now is a great time to experience Warhammer Horus Heresy Legions – there are more than 40 new cards available, and don’t miss the game’s free items, offers and events.

A traitorous new Faction has arrived in Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge. The Emperor’s Children harness dark powers and an unmatched malice to tear their way through their opponents. They are joined by Lucius the Eternal, one of the most hated foes of the Imperium.

These new cards are available through booster packs, card rewards and by using Wildcards, but you can also start collecting them in a new campaign where you can obtain a free starter deck and complete missions for even more resources.
