The Warhammer 40K 11th Edition Armageddon box set has finally been revealed in full after weeks of teasing, and it's crammed to the rafters with goodies – from a wonderfully ridiculous walking Ork gun mech to a brand-new Space Marine Land Speeder.
Following the reveal of the set back at AdeptiCon, publisher Games Workshop held a livestream to unbox the entire Armageddon box set ahead of the Warhammer 40K 11th Edition launch. Interestingly, there's no terrain in here unlike Age of Sigmar's equivalent box set, Skaventide, or the Ultimate version of the 40K starter sets; that space is reserved for models.
And oh man, those models. You're getting 700 to 800 points' worth of Orks and Space Marines here, which equals a new Combat Patrol for both sides (e.g. a compact, play-out-of-the-box game type for Warhammer 40K). Some of these have been rumored for a while, but there are a few delightful surprises as well – including a brand-new Ork Wartrakk vehicle to go against a revised Space Marine Gravis unit.

Of course, there are plenty of other goodies inside the box – including the rules for playing. Here's everything else included with the Armageddon box set:
- Operation Imperator: This is a chunky lore book all about the Marine's mission to reclaim the wartorn planet of Armageddon. It's exclusive to the box.
- Core rules: This is a compact version of the 11th Edition rules.
- Datacards: You'll get all the stats you need to play each unit here.
- Chapter Approved Deck: This pack of cards features everything you need to run narrative missions, competitive games, and more for the 2026/27 season.
- Dominatus Deck: This deck is used to create campaigns, linking battles together in a narrative way.
All in all, that's a lot of stuff. It's certainly enough to keep us all busy this summer, anyway.
While we didn't get a precise release date, the live stream reiterated that the Warhammer 40K Armageddon box set will be out in June 2026. That means pre-orders can't be too far away. As soon as they appear, I'll let you know!
