Summary
Games Workshop said three games will arrive later in 2026: Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus – The Miniatures Game, a mass-market Warhammer 40,000 Beginner Set, and a reissued Lord of the Rings: Battle in Balin’s Tomb.
6 push-fit miniatures anchor Tacticus, which adapts the mobile game into a small-board skirmish between 3 Space Marines and 3 Death Guard, with cards, tokens and a code unlocking digital hero Veteran Sergeant Ramus.
Target will carry Tacticus exclusively in the US before launches in Germany and Australia, while Balin’s Tomb returns to select retailers in those three markets; Games Workshop has not yet detailed Beginner Set distribution.
12 miniatures come in the Beginner Set—matching the newly revealed Introductory Box lineup of a lieutenant, 5 Intercessors, an Ork Nob and 5 Boyz—underscoring Games Workshop’s push for entry-level products ahead of the holidays.
