We had the rules for the Primarchs and their Legions, and now we have even more rules that have been uncovered for the Horus Heresy from Games Day UK. This list is massive and includes units, rules, and much more...... So sit down and enjoy, that is, until you receive your own copy of the Horus Heresy Book 2: Massacre.
There is a huge amount of information below. Note that no points are listed for obvious reasons.
Please note that these are being posted up on the Bols Lounge, and are from there. To join the conversation there, you can simply follow the link here.

Fire Raptor
I did have a word with Alan Bligh about the fire raptor rules and what we could expect.
seems it will come in two flavours, 30k and 40k .
the 40k one will be just as seen whilst the heresy version will be able to swap out its twinned avenger cannons for what he described as an array of autocannons.
from what he said it seems the gatlings and missiles target the same unit while the two ball turrets may each target a different unit entirely

cybertheurgy
is pretty weird , its psychic powers .. without being psychic powers
heres what it reads as:
in order to successfully use the power , the cybertheurgist must take a leadership test . depending on the strength and difficulty of the power , a bonus or penalty may be imposed on the leadership value of the model making the test ( note that this is applied always to the characteristic value being tested, not the dice result )
if the test is passed , the power takes effect. if the test is failed , the power does not take effect .
if the test is failed and a result of a 12 ( double 6 ) is rolled , the power has both failed and gone awry . roll immediately on the cybertheurgy mishap table
[ cybertheurgy mishap table -
1-3 signal corruption , the target battle automata may only fire snap shots and fights with ws 1 in assaults for the next game turn
2-4 corrosive paradox . the target battle automata suffers a wound with no armour or cover saves possible
6 malifica
the machine spirit rebels and gains self awareness !
the battle automata is now destroyed for the purposes of VP's and is no longer part of the controlling players force , if part of a unit , it is seperated and placed out of coherency with the unit
teh battle automata is still used in the previously controlling players turn , will from now on move towards and shoot at the closest unit unit each turn and then assault that same unit if able , both sides may now target the battle automata if they desire
it seems thallax augments are unique to thallax
