Warhammer Community’s Sunday Preview for 27 September 2026 puts the Adeptus Custodes front and center. Next week’s pre-order slate brings new (and reissued) Ten Thousand kits for both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, plus Codex: Adeptus Custodes, a Combat Patrol, and a Custodes-focused Horus Heresy Journal Tactica.
What’s confirmed
New dual-system kits. The Aquilon Terminator Sodality builds six Aquilon Terminators with Lastrum storm bolter, infernus firepike, or adrathic combi-destructor options, and solarite power gauntlet or solarite power talon in melee. The Gyrfalcon Jetbike Sodality is two jetbike Custodians with solarite power lances and a choice of Lastrum bolt cannon, adrathic devastator, arachnus volley cannon, or twin Corvae las-pulser on the mounts. The Telemon Heavy Dreadnought and Pallas Grav-Attack round out the heavy and fast firepower — Telemon with caestus fists (one swappable for adrathic desolator, arachnus storm cannon, or Iliastus accelerator culverin); Pallas with twin arachnus blaze cannon or twin Iliastus accelerator fusil.
Horus Heresy kits, 40k packaging. A block of recent Age of Darkness Custodes kits returns in new packaging that spells out official Warhammer 40,000 use alongside the new Codex: Shield-Captain, Custodian Guard Sodality, Sentinel Guard Sodality, Venatari Sodality, Custodian Dreadnought, Caladius Grav-Tank, Caladius Annihilator Grav-Tank, and Coronus Grav-Carrier.
Codex: Adeptus Custodes. Warhammer Community lists 13 new detachments and 27 datasheets, including the new Telemon, Pallas, and Aquilon units. Formats: standard softback in a rigid slipcase; hardback Collector’s Edition; and a Limited Edition with faux-leather hardback, miniature metal Custodian vexilla, lapel pin, 10 dice in a wooden vault, six art prints, an A2 cloth map of the Imperial Palace, and the full Adeptus Custodes Command Pack. Collector’s and Limited editions are while stocks last.
Accessories and Combat Patrol. The Adeptus Custodes Command Pack (84 reference cards plus token sheets) and a 16-dice black-and-gold set are while stocks last. Combat Patrol: Adeptus Custodes packs a Shield-Captain, six Sentinel Guard, three Venatari, and a Custodian Dreadnought buildable as Contemptor-Achillus or Contemptor-Galatus.
Horus Heresy Journal Tactica. The Battle for the Signus Cluster: Assault on Kol covers a Legio Custodes war on the cursed world of Kol, adds new rules for Slaanesh daemon legions, a Legendary Mission, two new Custodian Proconsul units, and updated Gyrfalcon Jetbike sodality rules.
Also on the preview. White Dwarf 529 is the Halloween special (later in Japan). Black Library brings Peter Fehervari’s Cold Covenant in hardback and Special Edition — Special Edition pre-orders open 3pm UK time on 7 October 2026, while stocks last — plus paperbacks of Auxilia by Russell Zimmerman, Dropsite Massacre by John French, and Apostle by David Annandale, with French and German editions of Krakenblood and the Vaults of Terra omnibus.
Still unclear
Exact pre-order open times and regional prices are not listed in this Sunday Preview. Expect the usual Saturday Pre-orders article from Warhammer Community for those details. Community also teases more Codex: Adeptus Custodes coverage and Space Marines rules updates later in the week ahead of a Saturday Codex: Space Marines release — treat that as follow-up, not part of this Custodes wave’s confirmed kit list.
