Warhammer Community has announced that the upcoming Orks Codex for Warhammer 40,000 will be featured in an exclusive showcase on Warhammer TV. The reveal was confirmed on Saturday, 22 August 2026, as part of a broader promotional push for the faction’s next release.
According to Warhammer Community, the new codex is set to arrive in the coming week, with the Sunday Preview indicating that Orks will be a major focus of upcoming product drops. The publisher has also shared articles discussing how players can build more effective Ork armies, suggesting that the codex will introduce new tactical options for the green-skinned horde.
The Orks Codex is notable for being the first codex released for Warhammer 40k’s 11th edition, as reported by Tech Times. That report also notes the book will be priced lower than previous codexes and will come with a subscription to living rules, meaning players can expect ongoing digital updates to the faction’s rules after the physical release.
Bell of Lost Souls has analyzed the community army lists shared by Warhammer Community, teasing that the new points values and enhancements for Ork units will differ significantly from the current edition. While exact numbers have not been disclosed, the previews indicate a shift in how Ork armies will be constructed.
The combination of a cheaper codex, living rules support, and new army-building guidance suggests Games Workshop is aiming to make the Orks launch a smooth entry point for 11th edition players. Warhammer Community’s own army-building articles serve as a practical guide for fans looking to prepare their collections ahead of the official release.
Watch for the full Orks Codex reveal on Warhammer TV, along with pre-order details expected in the next weekly preview.
