Although the vast Legions of Space Marines required a mountain of durable, no-frills equipment to fuel their endless conquests during the Horus Heresy , expert weaponsmiths still found time to craft works of surpassing beauty. Each Legion poured their identity into these masterworks, and today we can reveal a brand new pack of weapon upgrades themed after the mighty Sons of Horus.
This pack contains a selection of left- and right-handed Umbra-pattern bolters – a favourite of the XVI Legion – as well as six fearsome Banestrike bolters loaded with deadly armour-piercing rounds. This mysterious ammunition was a gift to the Sons of Horus from the Alpha Legion, appearing to be designed solely for killing other Space Marines, and it is predominantly carried by Legion veterans.
The Warmaster’s elite are also known for their wicked Carsoran power axes, with the elegant hooked blades a common sight among commanders and Consuls. These weapons are crafted from an ancient STC template found deep beneath the hives of Cthonia, and alongside the three you get in this set – one of which is designed to be held by Terminator hands – but also a huge two-handed Carsoran power tabar.
Stay tuned to Warhammer Community to find out when you can get your hands on your own upgrades, and make a bid to join the Mournival with your fanciest Centurions.
