The Genestealer Cults also play a sizeable part in the lore, appearing mid way through the lore section of this book. The World Eaters getting an, albeit slight, mention in here can only fan those rumour flames. Again, recent rumours have suggested new Beserkers and Angron himself making an appearance in plastic. Drawn to the bloodshed of the major conflict between the two warring Xenos races, they arrive seeking to claim skulls in the name of Khorne. Eldar Corsairs have had models via Forge World in the past, and we’ve had rumours in the past that they may return to the model range soon, perhaps alongside the dino-riding Exodites.Īnother army that gets a mention in here, almost seemingly out of nowhere, is the World Eaters. We have the Biel-Tan and Saim-Hann, two Craftworlds we know lots about, but then we also have a Corsair Prince. The Aeldari races present in this storyline are from 3 subfactions within Craftword Eldar.
They have a joint purpose, as they seek an area within this world which must be destroyed to help combat the Tyranids. For a, for lack of a better word, chapter of this book we see the Deathwatch fighting alongside the Eldar on an Aeldari maiden world. The first major race I wasn’t expecting to see in this book was the Aeldari. Whilst I’ll try not to include too many spoilers, I will at this point warn that spoilers are ahead, and for ease of reading/skipping I’ll change the font colour for those who don’t want anything spoilt. Rising Tide is no different, and primarily focuses on the conflict between the Orks, Tyranids and the Imperium (more specifically the Astra Militarum and the Deathwatch), but I’ll say already at this point I must state primarily those three factions, as other factions are very much at play within this book.

Whereas, for the most part (the recent Black Templars book as a bit of an exception) the new Codexes we’ve had so far in 9th Edition Warhammer 40k have retouched on old ground, these War Zone books have been given free reign to bring us up to speed on what is happening in the current timeline. I’ll be taking us through the book, for the most part, in the order of which it is laid out in the book. We also have two Appendixes in the shape of the Inquistion and the Tyranids, a new Campaign system, Army of Renown rules for the Deathwatch, Fortification datasheets and Crusade rules and finally new rules for the Tyranids in the form of Synaptic Links. We then have two Codex Supplements, the Cadians for the Astra Militarum and Hive Fleet Leviathan for the Tyranids, complete with Crusade content for both of these subfactions.
