Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus continues to solidify its place as a premier mobile strategy experience in the Warhammer universe. As part of the exciting new Warhammer Skulls showcase, fans can look forward to the reveal of a brand-new faction joining the game—expanding an already robust roster of playable forces.
Whether it’s another formidable addition from the Imperium, a dark twist from the forces of Chaos, or perhaps a long-awaited Xenos faction making its debut, the possibilities are tantalizing. The official announcement is set for May 22nd during the annual Warhammer Skulls event, which will also feature exclusive discounts across a wide range of Warhammer titles spanning both digital and physical formats.
Tacticus already boasts over a dozen factions, each with unique mechanics and playstyles. This upcoming reveal could introduce something truly fresh—or delve deeper into established lore. While many expect another elite Imperial force like the Grey Knights or Inquisition, there's room for speculation about more unconventional choices.

One intriguing possibility is the inclusion of the Leagues of Votann—an up-and-coming faction of deep-space miners, warriors, and drinkers who bring a uniquely rugged flavor to the 40K universe. Their introduction would not only diversify the gameplay but also raise awareness of this relatively new lore entry.
No matter what the reveal brings, you can catch all the details at the Warhammer Skulls showcase streaming live on Twitch at 9am PST, 12pm EST, 5pm BST, or 6pm CEST. Be sure to tune in for the latest updates and potential surprises.
