Warhammer 40K, known for its satirical portrayal of the Imperium of Man, has seen its satire gradually shift towards celebration as the franchise has grown more mainstream. However, recent video games like Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide are bringing back the classic satire of the setting. These games embrace the ridiculousness and campy nature of the universe while exploring themes of dehumanizing class structure and mindless zealotry. They offer a better medium to portray the complete version of Warhammer 40K than the tabletop game itself.

Games Workshop's new tabletop wargame, Legions Imperialis, set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, is highly anticipated by the gaming community. The game features a hyper-miniature scale, allowing players to field armies many times larger than in traditional wargames. However, the high model count and intricate assembly process of the miniatures expose Games Workshop to the threat of 3D printing and the use of proxy models. While the attention to detail in the models is admirable, the tedious building process may drive some fans to seek alternatives. Despite this, the game's potential for creative play and the option to build small-scale armies for The Horus Heresy make it an exciting addition to Games Workshop's catalog.

Games Workshop's decision to set the Legions Imperialis game in the Horus Heresy era instead of the current 40k timeline can be attributed to both lore and production reasons. Lore-wise, the Horus Heresy offers a larger scale of devastation, allowing for the use of massive armies and Titans. Production-wise, focusing on the Horus Heresy allows GW to support multiple armies with just one kit, simplifying production and inventory management. Additionally, it avoids the need to produce Xenos models and prevents cannibalization of their existing player base and resources. While the lack of Xenos models may disappoint some players, there is a possibility of expansion in the future. Ultimately, GW believes that the Horus Heresy is the safest play for launching a new game.

Games Workshop has launched the 10th edition rules for Warhammer 40,000 with a new boxed set, Warhammer 40,000: Leviathan, which includes 72 miniatures and a well-annotated 330-page rulebook. The new edition rules are simpler and easier to use than ever before, and the new "flagship" format called Combat Patrol is a faster style of play that uses smaller, preconstructed collections of miniatures. The launch of these free rules and Combat Patrol makes the game more accessible to more potential players. However, Games Workshop's more subtle marketing decisions, such as not revealing the price of the boxed set, and depersonalizing the brand by not allowing employees to show their faces on camera, have left some fans and critics feeling alienated.

Games Workshop has answered some questions about the upcoming Warhammer 40K 10th Edition. The new edition is a complete revision of the game, but it will still feel familiar. The game will be quicker to play with consolidated rules, and new players can start with the Combat Patrol mode. The game will be balanced, and miniatures will be compatible, but codexes will not. Universal Special Rules are returning, and vehicle and monster profiles will still degrade as they take damage. The new edition will be available this summer.
