New Warhammer 40K Charadon Campaign Is Coming Soon
November 23, 2020 by brennon
Games Workshop was full of reveals over the weekend and we got a look at what's new for Warhammer 40,000. War Zone Charadon is coming very soon and will feature the forces of Nurgle under the command of Typhus seeking to claim the Forge World of Metalica for his own means and that of Abaddon.

In The Book Of Rust, you'll find all manner of new scenarios and such in order to play out this assault on Metalica. Going up against the forces of the Death Guard you'll find the Adeptus Mechanicus who might find themselves fighting a losing battle against the overwhelming forces of Chaos.
In addition to new rules for the Death Guard and the Adeptus Mechanicus, you'll also find additional options within for the Imperial Knights who act as a bulwark against Chaos and the Drukhari who are seeking to exploit the turmoil within the sector.
Gone Crusadin'
If you're into your narrative and want to focus in on this War Zone as part of your Crusade games then the team at Games Workshop are also working away on a new Mission Pack called Plague Purge.
Plague Purge // Warhammer 40,000
In this pack, you'll find loads of new options for playing out narrative-focused games which enable you to build up your armies and explore a new region of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. You'll find new relics to either destroy or arm yourselves with plus new abilities which can change how a unit works on the tabletop.
New Warhammer 40,000 Codexes
In addition to the two new options which help tell the unfolding story of Warhammer 40,000 we also have two new Codexes which you can pick up soon too. The first of these is for the raiding parties of the Drukhari who seek to make a credit or two from the chaos unfolding all around them.
Drukhari Codex // Warhammer 40,000
This will be the first of the Xenos Codexes for 2021 and will feature rules which make these already deadly close combat fighters even deadlier. This means more attacks, more damage output and plenty of ways for them to engage with their foes across the board, wherever they are.
As well as the cutthroats of the Drukhari you'll also be able to soon go on the hunt for The Fallen with a new Codex for the Dark Angels too.
Dark Angels Codex // Warhammer 40,000
This marks a big return for the Dark Angels who will get themselves all manner of fascinating new Strategems and Relics which can be used to hunt down their fallen brethren. You'll also find options within for those building Ravenwing and Deathwing armies too so there is plenty for lore nerds.
In addition to that, they have also added plenty of thematic options for those playing Crusade. There is a new rule for hunting down The Fallen and interrogating them to gain special bonuses in your subsequent games.
If I were a Warhammer 40,000 player, I would be pretty happy with the way the releases are working out. As someone who loves their lore and narrative play, I could see the War Zone and Crusade books being the real draw for me, especially if I was playing with a small group of friends.
What do you make of these new options for Warhammer 40,000?
meh…. and the animated trailer looks really bad. I mean badly bad….
Nurgle is infectious to everything.
Well I don’t see it that bad and of course I wouldn’t call it animation, as there’s barely none. It’s simple and gets the job done, but that doesn’t make it bad “per se”.
I think the drawing as such just look bad. Poorly drawn. Especially when put next to the cover artwork and such. “Low cost and low effort”. GW knows why they close comments on YouTube….
I can agree with that, exudes “low cost” artist and is not the usual art they’ve accostumed us.
I like It, defo not animation but I like the style of It.
that’s cause they spent all their money on those animated series (how many are there ? at least 3 I think)
I wouldn’t call it animation.
It’s more like moving 2d objects on a static background …
It’s the kind you see in games when they need cut scenes, but aren’t willing to make the effort to animate it.
Nice and a new Dark angles book to take on the corrupted power’s.
Trying to work out which chapter that Space Marine is from in the trailer. Can’t quite make out the icon (like like a mailed fist (like the Crimson Fists), but there’s a snake? wrapped around it?
So Dark Angels and Dark Eldar in January. Both have very nice cover art work.
The art style of this edition is…surprisingly…quite often not for me. That Drukhari cover does look really…”boring”…for the lack of a better word. Blurry spots and an expressionless centerpiece leave me just “cold”. If anything those Drukhari should instill fear…not death by boredom. I don´t get what this is meant to be….sad 🙁
Got to agree that it isn’t the most inspiring cover for a faction like the dark space elves.
The new art style GW has introduced with 9th edition is somewhat lacking.
I think it’s GW trying to avoid the 18+ rating with their covers by removing anything that could hint at it being about a grim dark future where there is only war …
More books that will be obsolete in six months or less. Oh well, the art is good. You can always cut them up to make a lovely collage to put above your paint station.
