Heresy Thursday – Wither Under the Warmaster’s Gaze with These Sons of Horus Upgrade Kits

Heresy Thursday

We’ve already seen the knightly deportment of the Imperial Fists’ greathelms and statement shoulder pads, which turn MKVI armour into a bold proclamation of Dorn’s superiority.

But the VII Legion can’t have all the fun, and the Sons of Horus are getting their turn. Knightly, however, they are not.

The Warmaster’s lads wear their fierce Cthonian upgrading with macabre pride. The Imperial Fists’ laurel wreaths may look nice and signify a tedious kind of moral superiority, but a crown of spikes is what shows you really mean business of the martial sort.

This set of 11 detailed resin heads adds some malignant variety to your MKVI Legion Tactical Squads. There are three sets of three different designs, plus a bare-headed option criss-crossed with battle scars, and a magnificent helmet with a traditional top-knot fit for a Praetor.*

After this, you’ll want a nice sculpted pauldron to further reinforce your dedication to the great Horus Lupercal. Feast your eye on these.

Originally known as the Eye of Terra, this ominous symbol once represented the watchful gaze of the Emperor himself. Now this eye belongs to the Warmaster, and it’s watchful in a rather less comforting way.

Both sets will be up for pre-order soon, alongside their Imperial Fists counterparts. Further sets of heads and shoulder pads will be released for each of the Legions in good time.
