Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness is officially now available to pre-order, and this absolutely prodigious boxed set will be winging its way to you from the 18th of June. But that’s not where all this Heresy business ends – there’s already a legendary muster of new books, plastics and accessories, with plenty more coming to support the new edition this year and next.
And to prove it, we’ve prepared a comprehensive road map of the new rules on the way.
…and that’s just what’s coming in the next couple of seasons! That’s four faction books – one each for the Loyalist Legions, the Traitor Legions, the Mechanicum,* and Imperial forces sworn to neither the Primarchs nor the Omnissiah.
These will all be supported by Legacies of the Age of Darkness, free downloadable PDFs which contain rules for old Forge World models that aren’t at present planned to return to the current range, so you can use your existing models in the new edition. And on top of that, two additional army lists will be available to download for other factions – the Daemons of the Ruinstorm, and the Imperialis Militia and Warp Cults.
Meanwhile, the Warhammer Community website will continue to publish monthly Exemplary Battles of the Age of Darkness. These free downloads contain scenarios, special rules, and legendary units for games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, each built around a specific conflict from the Imperium’s darkest days.
You can also look forward to support in White Dwarf – the June issue of the monthly Warhammer magazine includes updated Zone Mortalis rules for fighting cramped conflicts in twisting tunnels and belligerent boarding actions for the new edition.
Plus, the Warhammer Design Studio is cooking up even more new material for the new edition, which we’ll be able to tell you about in due course. That includes loads of new miniatures – starting with iconic Legiones Astartes units in plastic, and exciting new Legion-specific characters and upgrades coming in resin.

* Including Knight Households and Titan Legios – they do love their giant robots…
