Mere weeks after the bombshells dropped at the New Year Open Day, we’re looking forward into the future of the 31st Millennium.
We’re at the Horus Heresy Weekender – a yearly celebration with hundreds of eager fans from around the world – and we’ll be following along with the various preview seminars to catch all the breaking news as it happens. So, even if you’re not at the weekender in person, you’ll be sure to be among the first to know about what’s next for the Horus Heresy.
Day 1: Saturday 2nd February 2019
[9:00 am GMT] The Horus Heresy: Malevolence Revealed!
First things first. We promised you last week that you hadn’t seen all of Sanguinius, and a special edition with an appropriately glorious presentation base was on the way. Well, feast your eyes!
This version of the model mounts Sanguinius upon a stunning display base, triumphant over a fallen Daemon in a scene that looks like something out of a stained glass window in an Imperial cathedral.
We can also unveil Sanguinius’ second weapon option – the Spear of Telesto! This will come packed with the standard and special versions of the kit, allowing you more choice as to how you arm Sanguinius for yourself.
Rules for Sanguinius will be found in Malevolence – a thrilling new entry in the Horus Heresy campaign series that brings rules and lore for a number of fan-favourite characters and Legions.
This hotly anticipated tome takes you back into the dark world of the Horus Heresy, bringing the Blood Angels and White Scars into the fray as well as a sinister host of Traitors for them to battle.
Each of our Horus Heresy books so far has focused on specific factions in this way, bringing them to life with in-depth rules, lore and heraldry that allow you to imagine, collect and play with more diverse armies than ever before. Expect to see new champions, abilities, and unique units that truly reflect the martial character of these Legions.
Even if you don’t collect White Scars or Blood Angels, Malevolence is packed with new material that’s of interest to any Horus Heresy fan, such as an exploration of the shadowy wars waged by the Alpha Legion on Chondax and a closer look at Daemonology during the Horus Heresy. Speaking of which…
Malevolence would be huge if it was just about the Space Marine Legions – but it also sees Daemons enter the fray in full for the first time. We’re talking full-scale incursions – tides of hellspawn pouring forth from open wounds in reality. On the tabletop, this means a full army list that lets you bring daemonic forces to the Horus Heresy – so if you’ve got a Daemon collection, you can now use them in three major games systems! Not bad, eh?
For now, fans at the weekender have been able to get early access to some upcoming releases, like the recently revealed Night Lords sets, Blood Angels Crimson Paladins, and the Deathsworn – a brutal Space Wolves unit made up of those for whom the then-nascent Curse of the Wulfen was more of a blessing…
Keep an eye out for these guys, as they’ll be available to order online pretty soon!
