When does Codex: Blood Angels release?
It releases in spring 2027. Games Workshop gave no exact date, no pre-order date, and no price in the announcement, so those details are still unconfirmed. The announcement makes the Blood Angels the next faction named for the spring 2027 Warhammer 40,000 schedule. See our Warhammer 40k Codex release dates tracker for every confirmed 11th edition codex so far.
Who is Sanguinary High Priest Corbulo?
Corbulo is the bearer of the Red Grail, and he returns with a new miniature released alongside the codex. The revealed model holds the Red Grail, shown as a skull-topped chalice, raised in one hand, with a chainsword in the other, and the reveal photo also shows an alternative head option with a bionic eye. Games Workshop says more new miniatures will arrive alongside the book, but it has not named any others yet.
What else is coming in spring 2027?
Games Workshop says the spring also brings Warhammer 40,000 releases for Xenos, Chaos, and non-Space Marine Imperial armies. No specific factions, units, or products were named, so anything beyond those three groups is unconfirmed.

Is anything coming sooner for Blood Angels players?
Yes. A datasheet in the December Warhammer 40,000 update lets the Blood Angel Chaplain with Jump Pack use his inferno pistol sidearm. Games Workshop did not give an exact December date in the announcement. The news also lands one week before pre-orders open for the Warhammer Christmas Battleforces, which include a Blood Angels box. See our Warhammer Christmas Battleforces 2026 hub for the Blood Angels box. Read our Horus Heresy Christmas Battle Groups post for the Heresy side of the Christmas range.
