The final days of the Horus Heresy were a war against time, as the defenders of the Solar System tried desperately to run down the clock and give Roboute Guilliman’s massed soldiers enough time to turn up and see Horus off.
The XIII Legion tore a path towards the Terra in customary parade style, outfitted in all the finery of Ultramar. You can emulate their look with these soon-to-be Codex-compliant shoulder pads and helmets upgrade kits for your MKVI Tactical Squads.
The MKVI helmet set from Forge World contains 11 alternative heads cast in resin. There are nine helmets for the rank and file, comprising three designs marked by segmented plates.
And for your Sergeants, Praetors, and other officers, the armourers of Ultramar supply a laurel wreath for a stately bare-headed look, and a flamboyant helm topped by a stonking great transverse crest.*
You can complete the neo-neo-neo-classical look with the XIII Legion’s famous heraldry, based on the ‘ultima’ sigil of the system which Roboute Guilliman’s dutiful citizens now call home. This set of 10 resin pauldrons will provide the appropriate gravitas and pass this most fastidious of Primarch’s rigorous standards.
You’ll be able to order both sets soon – sign up for the Warhammer Community Newsletter to get the nod, and return next Thursday for another reveal from the 31st Millennium.
* You know what they say – the bigger the crest, the better the general.
