Entire maniples of Knights and Titans strode the myriad battlegrounds of the Age of Darkness, and soon you’ll be able to build up your own Legio or Household with two new box sets of titanic war machines for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis.
Despite dwarfing most things in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, Knights need to be far more numerous to have the same impact in Legions Imperialis. Thus does the Knight House Battle Group contain no fewer than 12 walkers – six Questoris Knights, four Cerastus Knight Lancers, and two Acastus Knight Porphyrions.
Knights are fielded as Strategic Assets – support units assisting larger Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia forces – and this set gives players a sizable complement to choose from. Lancers are a deadly close-combat threat and can even challenge Titans, while Questoris Knights prize versatility, and the massive Porphyrions lay down incredible firepower from afar.
By contrast, the Titan Battle Group trades quantity for a quartet of sheer earth-shaking quality. Two Warhound Scout Titans range ahead of a Reaver Battle Titan and a Warlord Titan, presenting a fearsome armoured spearhead.
Even in the epic-scale battles of Legions Imperialis, Titans still dominate the battlefield with their imposing presence. Just one of these thunderous god-engines can swing the battle dramatically in your favour – unless your opponent has brought two. Better bring four to be on the safe side…
Both boxed sets also come with everything you need to use them in your games of Adeptus Titanicus, including Command Terminals and weapons cards. We’ll have more information as we get closer to the release of Legions Imperialis.
