===New Campaign Supplements=== *'''Imperium Nihilus- Vigilus Defiant''': The first major campaign supplement of 8e (not counting [[Fate of Konor]]) is the first part of a two part campaign thay takes place on [[Vigilus]], the fortress world that guards the Nachmund Gauntlet and allows the Imperium some degree of travel to and from the Imperium Nihilus. When an Ork Waaagh! forces the world's Genestealer Cult out of hiding, the Imperium reacts to hold onto Vigilus at all costs and just barely holds on even with the help of numerous Space Marine Chapters led by Marneus Calgar. Matters are complicated further when the Eldar attack after a misunderstanding, but things really start getting bad after a Chaos Lord claiming to be Abaddon's herald shows up to announce that the Despoiler wishes to conquer the world for himself. :The factions known to be involved include the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Space Marines (specifically the Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, Crimson Fists, Dark Angels, White Scars, and Space Wolves) Orks, the Eldar of Craftworld Saim-Hann, the Genestealer Cult of the Pauper Princes, the Dark Eldar, and the Black Legion. Will include rules for Primaris Calgar, the Chaos Lord Haarken Worldclaimer, and a new system of Specialist Detachments that allows a detachment to spend a CP in exchange for access to new Stratagems, WTs, and Artifacts. *'''Urban Conquest''': A modular system designed for custom-made campaigns, featuring options for building your own hive cities to serve as battlefields on the fly. *'''Imperium Nihilus- Vigilus Ablaze''': The second part of the Vigilus campaign, starting off with Abaddon's arrival at Vigilus and the Black Legion generally ruining everyone's day. He defeats Marneus Calgar in a duel, but is ultimately forced to retreat before he can slay the Chapter Master after a joint Imperial-Eldar attack cripples the ''Vengeful Spirit'' with vortex warheads, forcing the Despoiler to go into the Warp to get his flagship back before it's totally destroyed. Even then, it is hinted that when he returns to plague the Imperium the [[Planet Killer]] will be brought to bear once again. Vigilus itself barely survives, but most of its hives are burned down in order to eliminate Chaos taint and the planet's orbit is permanently changed due to the Fallen Angels activating an ancient gravitic weapon, which also changes the shape of the Nachmund Gauntlet. Gives Chaos Space Marines the royal treatment- on top of the Specialist Detachments, the Black Legion will be getting its own Stratagems, Relics, and WTs while the Legion Traits will be expanded to include a bunch of Renegade Chapters such as [[The Purge]], the [[Red Corsairs]], and the [[Flawless Host]], who also get their own Relic and Stratagem each. And to top it off, it gives new rules for the Bloodmaster and Skulltaker to go with their new models. *'''[[Psychic Awakening]]''': This appears to be the Malign Portents of 8e, promising massive expansions to every army in 40k and a story arc that will affect the entire galaxy. Given the name, it won't be a surprise if the 40k equivalent of AoS's Endless Spells are also added here. GW has also revealed that multiple new rulesets will be added for existing codices. **'''Phoenix Rising''': The first chapter of this story arc focuses on all flavors of the Eldar with a specific focus on the Ynnari's quest to awaken Ynnead. In addition to,this includes new models for both Incubi and Howling Banshees as well as Jain Zar and Drazhar. Also included, alongside new rules like the return of Exarch Powers is custom attributes for the Craftworld and Dark Eldar in line with the custom Successor Chapter Attributes included with the 8.5 Codex for Space Marines. **'''Faith and Fire''': Centered on the Imperium's defense of the planet Talledus against the forces of Chaos. In addition to acting as the expansion for the Black Templars, this introduces a few new Stratagems and Relics for vanilla Marines as well as expanded WTs, Stratagems, and relics for the vanilla Chaos Space Marine legions (other than the Black Legion, which already had something similar in Vigilus Ablaze). **'''Blood and Talons''': Blood Angels vs. Tyranids, Round 2. **'''Ritual of the Damned''': Grey Knights and Dark Angels duking it out with the Thousand Sons as Magnus carries out a ritual that would transform massive amounts of humans into psykers with dangerous consequences. **'''The Greater Good''': The Tau Empire get their first real taste of Chaos in the form of the Death Guard's impending arrival, which threatens to break through the Startide Nexus and into the heart of the Empire. And then there's the Genestealer Cult on a planet the Tau are about to take over, who are none too pleased about the interlopers. Meanwhile, the IG of the Eastern Fringe are stuck between the Tau and the Genestealers and desperately trying to keep it in Imperial hands. **'''Saga of the Beast''': Ragnar Blackmane carries out a dating raid against Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. Though badly wounded, Blackmane decapitates the Warboss, bringing an end to his WAAAGH!...or at least, that's what would have happened if Mad Dok Grotsnik didn't just stitch Ghazghkull's head back on. **'''Engine War''': Imperial Knights, Chaos Knights, Admech, and Daemons face off in this one. **'''War of the Spider''': The Talons of the Emperor and the Officio Assassinorum find themselves in a three-way battle with the Death Guard and the minions of Fabius Bile in the ruins of Cadia.
