The Setup: The Fourth War for Armageddon
Operation Imperator, Ghazghkull's return, and why this setting matters
The narrative picks up after Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick. Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka's WAAAGH is inbound, with Speedboss Wazdakka Gutsmek's vanguard already making landfall. Commissar Yarrick's desperate call for reinforcement triggers Operation Imperator - a coalition of Space Marine Chapters converging on the besieged planet before Imperial resistance collapses.
The Blood Angels lead the response, joined by the Ultramarines, White Scars, Salamanders, Crimson Fists, and more. The box artwork deliberately echoes 2nd Edition 40K - Armageddon has been a central conflict in the setting since the 90s, and GW knows exactly what this setting means to the players who have been here longest.
The included Operation Imperator lore book covers the full campaign background - objectives, deployments, and the commanders leading the Imperial response.
Space Marines - 23 Models
Characters, battleline, support, and fast attack - approximately 700–800 points
Captain with Relic Shield
Master-crafted power sword and relic shield in a dynamic front-line pose - built to go toe-to-toe with Orks in close combat. Three head options: bare, Mark X crested helmet, and classic Mark VII with Laurels of Victory. The natural centrepiece of the Space Marine side.
Primaris Librarian
New sculpt, channelling psychic power along a force staff that doubles as a lethal close combat weapon. A classic Space Marine character type refreshed for 11th Edition.
Chaplain with Jump Pack
New sculpt. Speed, close combat lethality, and the morale-boosting abilities of the Chaplain role in one model. The natural leader for the Vanguard Veterans in the box.
Primaris Ancient
Carries the Armageddon campaign banner with sculpted detail and open space for freehand or Chapter transfers. Supports Intercessors in holding and contesting objectives.
Intercessors (10)
The core battleline unit, now sporting helmets and plating from multiple marks of power armour - a deliberate narrative nod to the attrition of endless war. Characterful poses throughout: reloading, using an auspex, throwing a grenade. Solid all-rounders with good shooting and decent melee.
Vanguard Veterans with Jump Packs (5)
Jump pack-equipped close combat specialists - precision strike against enemy characters or clearing infantry from contested objectives. Natural pairing with the Chaplain.
Eradicators with Heavy Bolters (3)
Mk X Gravis armour, armed with heavy bolters rather than the melta rifles of previous variants - specifically optimised for killing Ork hordes. The right weapon for this box.
Primaris Land Speeder
The classic anti-grav attack craft returns with an updated design consolidating the Tornado and Typhoon variants into a single flexible hunter-killer platform. Fast, mobile fire support - a welcome return to the range.
Transfer sheets included for Blood Angels, Ultramarines, White Scars, Salamanders, and Crimson Fists. Nothing on the sculpts ties them specifically to the Blood Angels - paint them as any Chapter.
Orks - 38 Models
New sculpts, a brand new unit, and updated Boyz - approximately 700–800 points
Da Warboss
New sculpt. Kustom shoota and kustom choppa - covered for every situation. The biggest model on the Ork side, his presence drives nearby Boyz to fight harder. Natural centrepiece of the horde.
Bigboss
Entirely new unit. The Warboss's enforcer - keeping the rowdy Boyz in line with a two-handed big choppa and extending command across the battlefield. A meaningful addition to the Ork roster, not a resculpt of something existing.
Bannernob
An experienced veteran carrying the Waaagh! banner - a near-religious icon that has clearly cost a pile of rivals their lives to acquire. Buffs the surrounding mob and adds serious character to the force.
Painboy & Grot Orderly
Half field surgeon, half mad scientist. The Painboy staples arms and heads back on mid-battle with no regard for sterile technique - his ability to return wounded models to the fight makes him genuinely valuable, not just flavourful.
Weirdboy
The Ork psyker, channelling Waaagh! energy with complete disregard for personal safety. Emerald lightning, acidic projectiles, and the occasional spontaneous head explosion are all valid outcomes, and most Orks consider any of them a decent result.
Ork Boyz (20) with Boss Nob
Updated to carry both shoota and choppa simultaneously - effective at any range and terrifying in numbers. The backbone of the Ork force and the majority of the box's model count. Boss Nob included with choice of kombi-rokkit or kombi-shoota.
Gretchin (10)
The lowest of the low, pressed into battle to screen the horde and skulk on objectives. New sculpts with strong callbacks to classic Gretchin kits - serious collector appeal alongside their battlefield utility.
Wartrakk
An update of a much-loved classic. Heavy rokkit launcher fire support with the speed to get it exactly where it's needed.
Big Mek Dakkarig
Brand new unit. A walking weapon platform piloted by its Big Mek inventor, armed with a rotating blitzcannon. The centrepiece model of the Ork side and the most significant new kit in the box - a fully original addition to the faction, not an update to something existing.
Transfer sheets included for Bad Moonz, Evil Sunz, and Deathskullz. Nothing clan-specific on the sculpts - paint them however you like.
Rules & Non-Miniature Contents
Everything in the box beyond the miniatures
11th Edition Core Rules Booklet
The complete 11th Edition ruleset in a new handy-size format - easier to carry to the table and reference mid-game. Updated referencing numbers are designed to make rules lookup faster during play.
Armageddon: Operation Imperator Lore Book
Full narrative background for the Fourth War for Armageddon - objectives, deployments, commanders, and the campaign's opening stages. Designed as a companion for players running Armageddon-based campaigns.
Chapter Approved 2026–27 Mission Deck
Mission cards, deployment cards, and competitive play tools for 11th Edition. The standard tool for organised and competitive play going forward.
Dominus Narrative Campaign Deck
New for 11th Edition and built directly into the launch box. A randomised campaign system where players complete Agendas, capture locations, and earn unit upgrades across a linked series of games. The most significant non-miniature addition - a fully functional narrative campaign system that doesn't require a separate purchase.
Datasheet Cards, Transfer Sheets & Assembly Booklet
Datasheet cards for every unit in the box. Transfer sheets for both factions. Assembly booklet included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Edition launch boxes are historically the best entry point into 40K - two playable forces, the current Core Rules, and enough content to start gaming immediately, at a meaningful discount versus buying equivalent content separately. Push-fit construction means no clippers or glue required to get models on the table.
No. The box artwork features Blood Angels prominently and transfer sheets are included for them, but nothing on the sculpts is Blood Angels-specific. Transfer sheets are also included for Ultramarines, White Scars, Salamanders, and Crimson Fists - or paint them as any Chapter you like.
A new addition to 11th Edition built directly into the launch box. It's a randomised campaign system where players complete Agendas, capture key locations, and earn upgrades for their units across a linked series of games. Previously, narrative campaign play required a separate book. This brings it into the box at launch.
GW has not confirmed individual kit availability or timing. Based on past edition launches, most box-exclusive sculpts eventually release as standalone kits - but the launch box is typically the only way to get them initially, and often at the best per-model price.
No. Games Workshop products - including the Armageddon launch box - can only be shipped to Canadian addresses through Wheels & Wings Hobbies.
