RELEASE DATE 28/02/2026

The next major narrative expansion for Warhammer 40,000 takes us into the maddening vortex of the Maelstrom, as Huron Blackheart and the Red Corsairs look to score another devastating raid on Imperial space. They’re not the only ones hunting in the void, however, and Prince Yriel’s Eldritch Raiders have an agenda of their own to pursue in this cursed region.

Like the 500 Worlds: Titus set before it, The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant comes as a set of books bound in a decorative slipcase, with each tome detailing new rules or background lore as part of the series.

The Lair of the Tyrant book tells the story of Huron’s latest raid and the Aeldari Corsair-shaped roadblocks he runs into, while Crucible of Champions presents new narrative rules for creating your own custom Warhammer 40,000 characters, a booklet of Detachments adds new Detachment options for Chaos Space Marines, Aeldari, Orks, and Leagues of Votann armies, and Raid and Ruin gives players a new campaign system that sends their armies on a piratical spree across the void.
