If there’s one underreported aspect of the Horus Heresy, it’s the effortless style possessed by every single one of the Legiones Astartes. From the regal purple panoply of the Emperor’s Children to the black-is-the-new-black of the Raven Guard, each and every Legion has swag to spare.
Take the Imperial Fists. Bright yellow is famously difficult to carry off. Fashion mavens and style bloggers will tell you that it only works with a darker colouration, or when you pair it with another bold primary colour,* but the Sons of Dorn have their own recipe for a sunburst that really pops – laurel wreaths all round.
You can provide your own sartorial flair to the VII Legion with this upgrade set containing 11 detailed resin helmets, each one positively festooned with noble foliage. There are three sets each of three different knightly designs, plus one helmet with a transverse crest for your Praetors and Sergeants, and one square-jawed feller with a bare head.
With your headgear sorted, that’s nearly your whole outfit strung together – but something’s still missing. A statement shoulder pad should do it.
Parade your loyalty to Rogal Dorn and the Emperor with this set of 10 sculpted resin Imperial Fists pauldrons. There are five designs, each with different configurations on indents on the rims, but they all proudly display the clenched, armoured fist of the Legion to strike fear into the craven hearts of the Traitor Legions.
These sets will be up for pre-order soon, and there will be unique sets of heads and shoulder pads released for each of the Legions in due course. But will any of them have such redoubtable knightly nobility as these? That remains to be seen.
