Notes are live in game, and the update is available on all platforms! Make sure you check out all the Weird pleasures in 1.43 for you.

Weirdboy and all his crazy eye nonsense wants YOU to read the patch notes.

Tacticus @tacticusgame.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It's the weekend before the update and it's time to kick off #orktober with some teasers! Our friend Tactifuchs has a reveal on his channel for you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGCm...

Look at that sexy Weirdboy getting ready to power vomit right on his staff. Boy, is it getting hot in here or what?

Now available on all platforms! (Apple players, you need to go to the app's page in the store in order to see the "update" button. On your app list, the button may only say "open.") Check the notes out in game. Welcome, Salamander players!

Our newest character, the Salamander Nubari, stares menacingly at you, but not nearly as menacingly as Kimm the Votann.

Veteran players can tell you we take the feedback from the first iteration of a feature in order to polish it the way most people will like (as opposed to the way we think you'll like). Will you help us? Here is the first of several surveys to help us with that iteration! forms.gle/GNris2CFNyGi...

Giant ship coming to destroy more giant ships! Grimdark, grimdark everywhere!

Check out the in-game news! We just had a major information drop about Crusade to get you thinking ahead of the update next week :D

There's a ship above an alien world getting absolutely shattered for daring to oppose their rightful masters.

Tacticus @tacticusgame.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Congratulations to the Ork players! We hope you had a great time being part of the celebration in game and out -- we learned a lot from our first ever super global event, and we hope you enjoyed the experience (and the loot). Enter WAAAGHWEEK3 for your share!

Another handsome ork. I mean, he's rocking the ripped abs and everything.

WEEK2WAAAGH is live to celebrate another Orkish win in Armageddon Week 2! Three Kustom Gubbinz, an Ork req scroll...and a tourniquet in case anyone needs to stop the bleeding in order to finish the final week ;) To battle, Tacticians!

Another happy little greenskin celebrating another week of crushing Blood Angel butt.

Tacticus @tacticusgame.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

The winning faction for Week One of Armageddon was...Orks! That means you've collectively unlocked a Ded Shiny Slugga. Just use the code WEEK1WAAAGH...and resume fighting for Week Two. Can the Blood Angels get back into the battle?

Gibbascrapz is so handsome as he shouts "WE DID IT BOYS" -- but I wonder what his breath smells like.

Tacticus @tacticusgame.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Are you ready for Armageddon? Games Workshop is celebrating #new40K with a three week real life (points) battle between the Blood Angels and the Orks, and we've got our own global quest. Look at the in-game news for this image, and check out all the details!

Goddamn, this is one sexy image showing a fight between Dante and Gibbascrapz (a Big Mek Ork). Our concept artist is so good, y'all. Anyway, the text says Armageddon.

Our players on Discord were united in their desire to mark the passing of a legendary artist, JOHNBLANCHE. Some people have the talent to make our collective dreams into shared realities, and we honor one of them today.

It's just a necron guy, I can't use non-approved art in these banners so you'll have to Google John Blanche.

Tacticus @tacticusgame.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Save the date! We have a cool trailer to reveal and a peek at our upcoming events ;) www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl... #WarhammerSkulls

A very happy MAYTHE4TH2026 to all who celebrate!

It's a Star Wars joke. Ulf is Chewie, Lucien is Darth Vader, and Incisus is a storm trooper. Look, it's funny to me.

Tacticus @tacticusgame.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Another Q&A is live in game (and crossposted to Discord)! This week talks about mysterious updates, new relic status, why your community people fear roadmaps but love walls of text, future faction, and normal attacks. What's "normal," anyway?

A banner with the word EXPLAINER on it, and featuring the handsome faces of Boss Gulgorz, Nicodemus, and Typhus. An attempt was made at putting them in scale with each other.

If you click the chevron of the Survival level, it tells you all the exact enemies that are left from that specific level by highlighting them with neon red circles. For more explanations and insights, be sure to check the Explainer now in the Hobby Hub.

It just says THE EXPLAINER on it. I don't always feel fancy.

Tacticus @tacticusgame.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

The full notes are live in game for your reading pleasure! This update brings new characters, new filtering options, a Thutmose glowup, and more! Don't forgot to check out our Discord for all the discussion of the implications, along with fun extras and giveaways.

The Votann berserker and the incredibly handsome shrimp boi illustrate the new update day banner.

Tacticus @tacticusgame.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

The Discord regulars chose Ammuk as the best egg-themed character for the code celebrating spring, barely edging out Biovore. Use the code EGGSTRA for ten shards, and be sure to join the Discord: discord.gg/nk4QzH26

Pictured here is Ammuk, the Votann character with eggs on the ends of his...tentacles?...voted by our community to be the best symbol of spring we have.

The development team will be tested next week on how well they know _you_. Can you take this quick survey and share your thoughts? forms.gle/XfQ5WG1e5EVo...

Boring blue banner that says "Survey Says." I just want you to take the survey so I can mess with the designers.

Ragnar really wants you to know this update is crucial! Do you want him to crash the game when he kills a spore mine!? Do you?!

This announcement will be short and fierce: Our next faction coming to Tacticus will be Leagues of Votann! Sharp-eyed Tacticians may spot a few Votannish things in the game in the latest update, rolling out now.) We hope you enjoy playing them as much as we've enjoyed working on them!

Concept art depicting one of the characters from the Leagues of Votann. His little visor thing looks like a floral wreath to me, but shh, don't tell the people who don't like flowers.
