Dive straight into the Age of Darkness with this loaded boxed set which includes a whopping 32 plastic miniatures, representing a ready-made Battle Force which can be painted and played as either Loyalists or Traitors.

Tactical squads are the mainstay of the Space Marine Legions, and the force by which the Great Crusade reconquered much of the galaxy. Reinforce your Legions with troops clad in the iconic MKIII ‘Iron’ power armour, which includes additional build options for vexilla, vox, and Sergeants – including plasma pistols and power fists. The box contains 20 miniatures, which can be fielded as a pair of 10-model Tactical Squads or a single 20-model Tactical Squad – they’re also fully compatible with existing MKVI plastic upgrade parts.

Legiones Astartes: Deredeo Dreadnought – Anvilus Configuration

SundayPreview Oct8 HH 04 Deredeo

Deployed in limited numbers to each of the Legions, the Deredeo is a specialist Dreadnought with unparalleled survivability that makes it highly sought-after by Traitors and Loyalists alike. Available for the first time in plastic, the Deredeo is a walking weapons platform which can be assembled with either the anti-infantry firepower of the Anvilus autocannon battery or an armour-rending hellfire plasma cannonade.

Sons of Horus: Armoury of the Sons of Horus

SundayPreview Oct8 HH 06 SoHArmoury

Open the armoury of the Sons of Horus and utilise their ceramite-breaching equipment against their former brothers in your games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. Designed in secret for the Warmaster’s treacherous campaign, these Forge World resin weapons upgrades are an excellent way to equip your commanders and officers with deadly and thematically appropriate wargear, such as Carsoran power weapons and banestrike bolters.
