NOVA Open Reveals – The Warmaster Is Ascendant in His Monstrous New Model

Header

All 18 Primarchs have models of their own, depicting them as they were around the end of the Great Crusade – just when the Horus Heresy was getting started. 

It’s fair to say that a few of the Emperor’s sons looked quite different by the end of the Heresy,* including the Warmaster himself. Enter… Horus Ascended.

This incredible resin model captures Horus at the height of his warp-twisted powers, adorned with his full accursed panoply and draped in the puissance of Chaos. He’s not just not just an exquisite display piece, either – you can find unique rules for this transfigured paragon in the Liber Hereticus, allowing him to lead your Sons of Horus Legion on the tabletop.

Horus Ascended strides across a mound of bones and shattered ceramite, the broken remains of hundreds of Loyalist foes. This model matches the Warmaster we saw in the epic trailer for the latest edition of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, a fallen demigod in thrall to the Ruinous Powers – a stark contrast to his former, noble self.

Rendered in highly detailed resin, this model is the first in a new Character Series from Forge World, representing each of the Primarchs at the height of the Heresy – whether they’re fully under the sway of Chaos, or rallying to defend the Imperium in its darkest hour – giving us a fresh look at the driving characters of this epic saga as they lead their Legions into the biggest battles.

We’ll give you more information on when Horus Ascended is available to pre-order when we get it. Until then, check back in on the NOVA Open hub for all the rest of the day’s big reveals.
