8th Edition (also known as Warhammer 41,000: Age of the Emperor to the rumourmongers) is the newest edition of, which picks things up where the campaigns (AKA 40k End Times, meaning we're living literally after year 40,999 now) left off, and was released June 17th, 2017. The new edition will from 5 minutes to midnight to 4 minutes to midnight, and considering the campaigns leading up to it have had the, trolling the half to death, falling (and not getting up), a new being born, getting off his stasis-frozen ass and joining forces with to go on a journey to see, shit's about to get real. (But hopefully not ).

Gonna have to. In hindsight, this also likely explains why Forge World hasn't restocked or updated any Imperial Armour volumes recently. Hopefully this means that lived in Imperial Armour will get proper codices this time around. • Horus Heresy will continue to use the 7th Edition rules set until Forgeworld updates their books, although considering that The Horus Heresy Book Seven - Inferno came out just last month, that's looking highly unlikely. • Horus Heresy still basically lives between 4th and 5th edition anyway, so it's not too great a change. • As of Warhammer Fest Horus Heresy is now getting its own core rulebook based on 7th (with a few new special rules) which is compatible with all their existing books instead of switching to 8th. • 3 ways to play (Open, Narrative, and Matched) is being imported from Age of Sigmar's General's Handbook, with Narrative play having a different points system from Matched play. This is less of a big deal than it was for AoS since there it basically single-handedly made AoS playable (for many yet not all players), while 40k already had an at least nominally-balanced points system. The separate points system for Narrative play should be interesting, at least.
