Total War Community, fresh off last week's reveal of Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000, we've got one final peek behind the curtain before the team heads off for a well-earned Christmas break. In this roundtable, Ian (Princiapal Creative Director), Simon (Campaign Product Owner), and Dave (Battle Product Owner) share how they're bringing the grim, brutal galaxy of the 41st Millennium to life. Expect some gameplay insights, plenty of talk about war (naturally), and Dave doing his best to keep his Ork obsession under control.

In case you missed it: After seeing so many of you ask for our epic key art in wallpaper form, we couldn't keep it locked away any longer. Designed by the legendary Warhammer 40,000 artist Paul Dainton, this grimdark beauty deserves to be immortalized—so we're giving it to you to deck out your desktops in true style. That's the end of today's transmission. This will be our last Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 update until Spring 2026, when we return with more secrets from the grim darkness of the far future. Until then, ready your forces—for in the 41st Millennium, there is only WAR.We've got one final peek behind the curtain before the team heads off for a well-earned Christmas break. 👀


See you on the battlefield.
