This week, Horus Heresy players can add Remus Ventanus, the saviour of Calth, to their Ultramarines Legion forces. That sound that you can hear is the Word Bearers quivering in terror.
The word “hero” is thrown around very easily these days, but to the people of Calth, Remus Ventanus is the very definition.* When the Word Bearers launched their devastating attack upon Calth, Ventanus was the first to launch any kind of counter-assault.** Now, this stunning resin model is available for your games during the Age of Darkness.
The miniature is covered in the symbols and insignia of the XIII Legion, meaning that he’ll look fantastic alongside the rest of your Ultramarines. He carries the Legion standard and has the option to be assembled with or without his helmet. It’s a spectacular model, whether you’re using him to lead your army or as your next painting project.***
As you’d expect from a Captain in the Ultramarines, Ventanus can handle himself in a fight, and he comes equipped with more than his fair share of fancy wargear. He’s also a brilliant strategist, which you can take advantage of in your games of The Horus Heresy. In fact, he even gave Roboute Guilliman some tips on composing the Codex Astartes.****
You can pre-order Remus Ventanus from the Forge World webstore this week. While you’re there, why not grab a unit of Invictarus Suzerains to keep him safe from any reprisals that the Word Bearers might have planned?
* If Calth still had any printing presses, the dictionaries they produced would have his picture next to the word’s definition.
** Read all about the Word Bearer’s invasion of Calth and how Remus Ventanus turned the tide of battle against the traitors in the Horus Heresy novel Know No Fear.
*** Don’t forget the Ultramarines Blue.
**** You can read about Ventanus giving his father some tactical advice in the short story Rules of Engagement.
