Aemelia Minervas: Legatus of the 30th

January 2026·p. 15

THE SHORT VERSION

Raised in a military family on Mortendar, Minervas earns promotion through service and survival during the Plague Wars. Her study of both human and Astartes doctrine helps integrate her regiment with Titus’s warriors and Silva’s fleet, overcoming the rivalries that can otherwise separate Imperial ground and naval forces.

500 Worlds: Titus

The designers introduce a set of background and campaign books centred on the reclamation of Ultramar. Captain Titus provides a viewpoint on the wider war, while the combination of a regional narrative, map campaign, Boarding Actions and detachments gives collectors several ways to develop armies and stories within the same setting.

The Future of Warfare

Product developer Rich contrasts earlier connected end-of-edition campaigns with a new approach built around substantial, self-contained war-zone sets. Familiar characters and events supply an entry point, but the emphasis is on giving gaming groups enough background and materials to create their own campaigns rather than simply follow one prescribed sequence.

War Amongst the Stars

Colin and Andy discuss Guilliman’s attempt to rebuild the Five Hundred Worlds and the political problems hidden inside that apparently orderly plan. Titus must become a commander and diplomat, while Nekrosor Ammentar’s obsession with reuniting the Nightbringer brings a different kind of fanaticism into a campaign involving far more than its two principal armies.
