Games Workshop Reveals Cadia Unbroken and Dawner's Reward, AdeptiCon Debut

Games Workshop revealed on January 26, 2026 its 2026 Commemorative Series event miniatures, giving collectors and convention-goers two new display-ready sculpts to chase. The Warhammer 40,000 entry is Cadia Unbroken, a stoic Cadian Castellan posed on a scenic base, while Age of Sigmar receives Dawner's Reward, a weary Steelhelm Sergeant-at-Arms. Both are being positioned as event pieces sold first through Warhammer Events.

Availability is concentrated around live shows. Cadia Unbroken and Dawner's Reward will be available at AdeptiCon on March 25, 2026, and then through Warhammer Events' travelling stores at subsequent events. Games Workshop flagged that the miniatures may appear through other channels later, but the initial rollout prioritizes in-person sales at shows. That makes AdeptiCon one of the earliest opportunities to buy and inspect the sculpts in hand before any wider distribution.

For painters and display-case builders, these models are worth tracking as likely candidates for showcase work. Cadia Unbroken's Castellan pose and scenic base lend themselves to narrative dioramas and Cadian-themed collections, while Dawner's Reward offers a characterful pose suited to gritty Steelhelm tableaus or single-figure competitions. Because the Commemorative Series targets event collectors, expect presentation-quality casting and sculpt detail aimed at hobbyists who value display and limited-run appeal.

Practical considerations matter for attendees. Bring payment methods commonly accepted by Warhammer Events and allow time to visit the travelling store early in the day, as event-exclusive stock can move quickly. If you cannot attend AdeptiCon, monitor Warhammer Events dates for the travelling store schedule; the initial plan places those outlets next in line for sales. Games Workshop also left open the possibility of later distribution through other channels, so checking official Warhammer Events announcements will be the clearest route to future availability updates.

The reveal underscores how Games Workshop continues to use event-exclusive miniatures to drive show attendance and give collectors unique pieces to hunt. Cadia Unbroken and Dawner's Reward are more than new sculpts; they are collectible markers of the 2026 event circuit and practical additions for diorama builders and display painters. Expect AdeptiCon to be the first chance to secure them, and plan accordingly if you want these commemorative models in your collection.
