We at CultureSlate accidentally overlooked the teasers and the full reveal of the third and penultimate end-of-10th-edition narrative release for Warhammer: 40,000. That will be rectified now, with a look over all of the upcoming content for this release, which goes on sale this coming Saturday, April 4th.
Teased in a piece of short fiction during Grotmas 2025 (an advent calendar-style event where Games Workshop revealed a new thing every day on Warhammer Community in the runup to Christmas), Eye of Terror: Reign of Iron pits the pitiless Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines against the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Forge World of Agripinaa. This key planet now forms part of the shaky defense around the site of the former world of Cadia and Eye of Terror, now consumed by the Warp and enlarged across the galaxy, respectively. Despite this, the Eye is still an epicentre of Chaos-based invasion of realspace.
Leading the Iron Warriors in this first phase of a grand plot against the Imperium concocted by the Iron Warriors Primarch Perturabo, is the warlord Kravek Morne. An exemplary commander for Chaos, he arrives on the battlefield with the gorgeously resculpted Defiler and new Mutilators, alongside troops of the Iron Warriors. For those unaware, the Iron Warriors largely view Chaos as a tool, and do not worship it, instead focusing on its benefits when blended into machinery to create terrible war engines like, for example, the Defiler.

Standing against this Chaos Force are the Adeptus Mechanicus, with the new character Archmagos Thulia Ghuld leading a force featuring many troops of a new unit, the heavily armored Hastarii, while towering over everyone is a new class of Knight, the Destrider (though neither are new in the millennia of history of the 40K galaxy). Ghuld worships the Machine God through the destruction technology can bring, and does not have a high opinion of the setting's other current Archmagos of note, Belisarius Cawl.
Alongside these forces of new and refreshed troops, come several Battalion boxed sets of various miniatures (though to be frank some can’t easily be called “miniature”) which fit the coming battle, alongside a Combat Patrol of Chaos Space Marines able to be built and decorated as Iron Warriors using the upgrade spruce found in the box. The set of books that comes with Eye of Terror: Reign of Iron, meanwhile, outlines the lore and conflicts of the setting, an updated format for the gamemode entitled Apocalypse, and has several Detachments for various forces involved in the fight for Agripinaa.
Pre-orders for all of this and more launch this Saturday, April 4th.
