It's no secret that D&D is getting new core rulebooks this year, and new details have just been revealed about how its classes will work… but if one D&D designer had their way, some would be very different.
Everything announced for the Warhammer World Anniversary 2024 at a glance

Visiting Warhammer's flagship store-museum hybrid is on the wishlist for many fans, so it's not surprising that Warhammer World Anniversary celebrations - complete with reveals - are a thing. 2024's announcements weren't necessarily world-shattering, but they had a chaotic energy that I'm totally herefor.
This year's Warhammer World Anniversary certainly wasn't forgettable. Geese on the football field with badger reinforcements. An Ork Big Mek that can walk through walls. A wince-inducingly powerful addition to the Adeptus Custodes, which is famously Henry Cavill's favorite Warhammer 40K army.
To save you some time catching up, I've rounded up all of the most recent announcements here with analysis on whether the units listed will make what are already some of the best board games better.
The 41st Millennium enjoyed a couple of reveals for new hero units, and both are pretty ridiculous if you dig into the stats. The new character for Adeptus Custodes (golden Space Marines who are the Emperor's personal guard) is a great example.
A standalone Shield-Captain with a new loadout, his prowess in combat is utterly eye-watering. For starters, the Pyrithite Spear the Shield-Captain wields provides a hard-hitting 7 Attacks in melee with a Weapon Skill of +2 and and a Strength of 7. Then, its Armor Piercing/AP is -2 to Saving Throws, while Damage is 2 for each wound.
Basically? If you get up close and personal with this hero, you're in trouble. Big trouble.
Next, its shooting Melta attack is equally withering. While it only has 1 Attack, it's packing a Strength of 9, an Armor Piercing/AP value of -4, and a Damage score of 1 d6.
You'll be able to get this model first in the upcoming Auric Champions Battleforce. The rules for running all these are available in the Adeptus Custodes Codex, which is due soon.
The new Ork hero is similarly punishing.
Nothing the Orks make in Warhammer 40K is pretty, but it always does the job. (Which is, y'know, stomping things or making them blow up.) The best mechanics can often be found riding Meks into battle, and the strongest of these is now available to lead your army. These Big Meks "possess prestige on par with Warbosses," and their exoskeleton is absolutely covered in bizarre weaponry.
One of those weird weapons is the powerful Traktor Blasta. Even though it isn't all that accurate, it should definitely ruin your day if it hits – it deals d6+1 damage upon a wound.
Because this Big Mek boss is armed with a Shokk-Boosta as well (a steampunk gadget that looks as if it'll explode at a moment's notice), you can zip through the warp to end up on the other side of terrain or enemy units. Besides sounding like a lot of fun, it should infuriate your opponents.
The Big Mek will be
