We’ve only just seen the magnificent boxed set for the new edition Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, but that’s just the beginning of your journey through the Age of Darkness. There’s a lot more stuff coming down the pipeline for the 31st Millennium.
First up are the two Legiones Astartes army books – one for Loyalists and one for the Traitors.* Each book includes the profiles for shared units, from heroic Praetors to armoured Contemptor Dreadnoughts, as well as weapons, special rules, and guides to building your Legiones Astartes army.
The Liber Hereticus contains rules for all nine Traitor Legions, including Rites of War, Primarchs, Legion-specific units and wargear. If you’re of a more Loyalist bent, the Liber Astartes contains the same for the nine Loyalist Legions.
Whichever side you’re on, these books are the definitive guide to your army, packed with unit entry profiles, Warlord Traits, faction abilities, and unique reactions. These tomes are just the beginning – there will be similar books for other factions in the future.
Got the rules but need some reinforcements? The Mark VI Tactical Squad will also be available separately. This kit is packed with options and makes 20 Space Marines, so you can muster either two 10-man squads or one big 20-man one. Good luck to any enemies who want to shift that.
Prefer older marks of power armour? The Mark III and Mark IV Tactical Squads are getting repackaged into units of 20, making it easier than ever before to fill out the ranks of your Legion.
You’ll also be able to grab a pair of classic heroes to lead your forces into battle. Fans of the VI Legion and the XV Legion will want to pick up these plastic character miniatures.
Geigor Fell-hand and Azhek Ahriman were both originally available in the Burning of Prospero boxed set, but this is the first time their models will be available separately – and both heroes will have rules in their respective Liber Astartes books.
There’s even more coming for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and we’ll be looking at some of it later today – so tune in on Twitch, and check out all of today’s reveals here.
