These are not risen warriors or malignant spirits – they are bespoke war-constructs forged from harvested bone and gifted the soul animus of great warriors and heroes.
Also looks like 40k is getting a shake up
Every single Warhammer 40,000 faction has a stake in Psychic Awakening – so whatever your chosen army, you’ll have a moment to shine. Each Psychic Awakening expansion focusses on a different war zone, providing a new perspective to this galaxy-spanning event. The series will see plot threads that have enticed fans for decades resolved, champions new and old rise to the fore, and staggering revelations made.
Meanwhile, each book will have powerful and thematic rules updates for at least two Factions, giving you more flexibility than before.
My guess is the next full 40k will be to 40k as AoS was to Fantasy Battle. What with the galaxy being split in two and every faction having a stake in some psychic event.
