Warhammer Community Teases Big Autumn Preview Show with Cryptic Images and Iconic Symbols

Games Workshop, the publisher behind the popular Warhammer franchise, has announced a new preview show for their upcoming autumn release. The event, titled "Big Autumn Warhammer Preview," promises to reveal a slew of new content, including reveals from Kill Team, 40K, and Age of Sigmar.

The Big Autumn Warhammer Preview show is set to take place on September 18. With the event kicking off at 11am PDT, 2pm EDT, and 7pm BST. The preview will feature a series of cryptic images and icons that hint at what's to come in the upcoming releases.

Among the confirmed reveals are Corpse Grinder Cults, Nehekhara, Custodes, Khazalites Holds, Alpha Legion, Inquisition/Imperial Agents, and Legion of the Damned. The latter faction has been a subject of speculation among fans. With some speculating that they may be making a comeback in 40K.

Warhammer Community has released a series of cryptic images that hint at the upcoming content. One image features a skull on fire. This is believed to be a modified sigil for the Legion of the Damned Space Marines from Warhammer's past.

Another image shows a golden banana, which is thought to be a reference to the Custodes Terminator.

Nehekhara, the Tomb Kings faction in The Old World, has also been confirmed as part of the preview show. This could indicate that the faction is due for an update or revamp, although no further details have been released.

Confirmed Reveal: Khazalites Holds

The Warhammer reveal post for the Big Autumn Warhammer Preview has confirmed that Age of Sigmar is getting a brand-new dwarf/duardin faction. The new faction will be called "Khazalites Holds" and will feature mountain holds and runic creations, such as the new Gholem unit.

Speculation Surrounds Legion of the Damned

The "skull on fire" symbol has been confirmed to be a modified sigil for the Legion of the Damned Space Marines. This could indicate that the faction is making a comeback in 40K or will be featured in Kill Team.

Alpha Legion and Inquisition/Imperial Agents

The crossed Xs on the Warhammer reveal post have sparked speculation about the return of the Alpha Legion. A mysterious Chaos Space Marine group. The Inquisition/Imperial Agents symbol has also appeared, leading to questions about their involvement in the upcoming releases.

Upcoming Show Details

The Big Autumn Warhammer Preview show will take place on September 18 at 11am PDT, 2pm EDT, and 7pm BST. Fans can tune in to watch the live stream and get a first look at the upcoming content.

Key Background and Context

A battalion of shows including everything from Kill Team to 40K are inbound. As a Big Autumn Warhammer Preview is due on Friday, September 18. Publisher Games Workshop likes to hint at what's to come via cryptic images (it's what they did ahead of the Big Summer Warhammer Preview 2026 ).

And this week's show is no different. We've been left with a short video and a series of spray-painted icons to hint at what can be expected, and it's an eclectic array. The thing that's getting me excited about the Big Autumn Warhammer Preview, though?

A possible comeback for Legion of the Damned. While there are plenty of cool teases (and we'll get to those in a moment). One icon immediately jumped off the screen – a skull on fire.

While this may look pretty generic at first glance. It's actually a modified sigil for the Legion of the Damned Space Marines from way back in Warhammer's past. (Image credit: Warhammer Community) These poor souls feel like a 40K twist on myths like the Flying Dutchman.

they emerge from the dark reaches of space when all hope is lost to help humanity, then vanish again. Oh, and they're permanently on fire. Y'know, no big deal.

Here's everything the team and I have been able to piece together for the show when it goes live this Friday at at 11am PDT, 2pm EDT, and 7pm BST. Corpse Grinder Cults: The 'Corpse Starch' tin presumably references this grimly-named Necromunda group. And we know we're getting an appearance of some kind from the gang war game.

Seeing as we just got a new edition (which is currently discounted at Miniature Market ), revisiting other factions makes sense. Nehekhara: This one's a surprise. Nehekhara refers to the Tomb Kings faction in The Old World. However, that game actually launched a few years back with Tomb Kings as a major force (as demonstrated amazon.com/s?k=TOMB+KINGS+OLD+WORLD&crid=OUEYFQE1BGBU&sprefix=tomb+kings+old+worl%2Caps%2C208&ref=>at Amazon ).

These were mostly old models, though, so we could finally be due a revamp. The alternative is that this could just be a handful of heroes. Custodes: That golden banana can only mean one thing… more Custodes (if you're not sure why.

It's thanks to those long, banana-shaped golden helmets). Warhammer accidentally revealed a new Custodes Terminator type via a Warhammer Academy video a month or so ago. So I suspect this will be what we'll see during the show.

If it's anything like the other Custodes releases this year (which you'll be able to find at a discount via stores like Miniature Market ). It'll be available for both Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40K. (Image credit: Warhammer Community) Khazalites Holds: This was less a tease and more an outright confirmation.

On the Warhammer reveal post for the show. It confirmed that Age of Sigmar is getting a brand-new dwarf/duardin faction that. We're talking mountain holds and runic creations, like the new Gholem unit.

I'm not sure what's referencing them in the teaser, though. Alpha Legion: Those crossed Xs could potentially mean a return of the 20th Legion. The Alpha Legion, for Horus Heresy… or maybe even Warhammer 40K.

This Chaos Space Marine group is as mysterious as they come. And it's been a long time since they've got any love in the latter game. Inquisition/Imperial Agents: It looks like the Inquisition/Imperial Agents symbol appears up there with 'Ready?' written over the top.

Could this faction be next to get some love in 40K? Legion of the Damned: As mentioned above. That 'skull on fire' symbol is very similar to old Legion of the Damned iconography.

Because they're firmly set in the Warhammer 40,000 time-period. That means they'll either be showing up as a faction/offshoot for 40K (which I suppose is possible. Seeing as Space Marines are getting an imminent revamp) or the Kill Team skirmish game.

Both games are featured on the show lineup. So it could be a little from column A, and a little from column B. There's more on there that I can't quite decipher (squigs.

For example – the squig-owning orks just got a 40K revamp and greenskins already received an update for the latest Age of Sigmar edition. So I don't know what that's referencing). However, we've certainly got enough to be excited about amongst the confirmed shows.

No matter what, we'll get answers soon; the show takes place in just a few days. See the latest Warhammer 40K offers at Amazon I'll be interested to see what those Khazalites Holds models look like. Because the Age of Sigmar team's been on fire recently.

the new Sons of Behemat models are exactly what the faction needs , and the Ogors range is delightfully hard-hitting .
