Gather your tanks and ready your lascannons – in June the pages of White Dwarf magazine and the Games Workshop website join forces to bring you a whole new expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Spearhead.

Spearhead is a new way to play Warhammer 40,000 that enables you to unleash exciting tank battles and daring breakthrough missions on the tabletop, bringing the full mechanised fury of the 41st Millennium to bear in your games. June's White Dwarf will contain the main part of the supplement, including new rules, missions and plenty of inspirational hobby advice. Alongside this, the Games Workshop website will feature additional material exclusively for registered members, such as details of how to assemble your Spearhead formations along with even more painting, modelling and collecting tips.

As if a whole new Expansion wasn't exciting enough, it's going to be accompanied by a range of new miniatures including some stunning new plastic kits – more details of these kits, and the Spearhead Expansion, will follow in White Dwarf and here on the Games Workshop website.

A word of advice, however – because it contains a new Expansion, June's White Dwarf promises to be very popular. If you're not already a subscriber now's probably a very good time to correct that, and to register on the Games Workshop website to hear all the news first.

on the one hand... ANOTHER expansion (it seems like they're so busy writing new rules that they arn't putting the effort into codex writing anymore...)

on the other, at least it comes with new models! im still waiting for my plastic stormtroopers though.

been looking in other places and the best I have pulled from the rumor mill is pointing towards

- recut leman russ with remaining russ options
- recut predator with updated sponsons
- ork warbuggy/wartrack/skorcha kit (makes one model)
- eldar fire prism (plastic kit)

they will also supposedly be combining the following kits to make room in their product lineup, (this is less concrete)

- landraider/crusader/redeemer
- Tau skyray/hammerhead (just changing the box ans discontinuing the hammerhead kit
- rhino/razorback

With exception of the Leman Russ the rest can be discarded. We might see an artillery tank boxed set, but that's wishlisting. There might be more skin kits on the horizon, but a combined Buggy/Trakk/Skorcha kit is stupid. Trakks and Skorchas I can see, Buggies not.

I really, really want that Griffon kit to happen, because I really want to field a battery of them against John and Stu in an attempt to bloody the noses of the big boys.

I'm curious to see what the new Eldar tank is going to be. I;'m hoping the new expansion will at least give rules for more flyers.

They won't get any new toys until the get a new Codex, which likely won't happen until the middle of next year.

The comment about Eldar tanks was related due to the forthcoming re-cuts and new kits. Take any Tau discussion to their thread.

Actually, the expansion might include rules for new tanks, upgrades and weapons, only minus a kit to represent it.

It's going to be a Nightspinner.

And it's going to be tanks only from what I've been told. Forge World has great, if somewhat clunky flyer rules. Failing that, there is always Apocalypse with its own version of them.

Hmm should be good to see. We've also got the new plastic kits, maybe it will include some tank upgrades, possibly kits that include the upgrades for a Firestorm. Who knows, we might get the Eldar Super Heavy tanks
