New Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopedia Arrived, Packed With Profiles

DK published a new Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopedia that became available on November 25, 2025, according to retailer listings. The book runs 200 pages and presents over 120 entries that span Space Marines, the Aeldari, named leaders, and notable villains across the 41st Millennium. Each entry pairs short profile text with photography of Games Workshop miniatures, and the listing describes visually rich pages aimed at a broad audience.

The encyclopedia is positioned as an introduction to major personalities and factions, and the format is clearly aimed at making lore approachable. That practical approach matters for club organizers, store owners, and players who need a compact reference during events, casual games, and narrative campaigns. The photography and concise profiles also add value as a painting and display reference, helping painters match colors and conversions to iconic looks without wading through long background novels.

Retailer pages include format and ordering information, which makes it simple to check stock and buy a copy for store shelves or prize tables. For newcomers, the book offers a quick way to learn who matters and why, while collectors will find a tidy reference that complements more detailed codices and campaign books. The book’s accessible tone can help players who are switching factions or building themed armies to get a grip on key characters and their roles in the setting.

Community events can use the encyclopedia as a shared resource during hobby nights, lore sessions, or faction spotlight evenings. If you are running a league or introducing friends to 40k, pick up a copy for shared reference and display. Check your preferred retailer for format options and ordering status, as availability can vary between physical stores and online outlets.
