Horus Heresy plastics coming in three weeks

Official trailer: https://youtu.be/f5p9AbpNJLk

The Horus Heresy will officially replace the commercial failure that was the Hobbit, becoming the new third flagship game of Games Workshop.

Betrayal at Calth will be a stand-alone board game using a new or modified ruleset unlike that of 40k.





 

[Hoxtalicious]

Set is £90, so €120, or just about as expensive as a Stormsurge or some of the other super-heavies currently out there.

Model included are:

30 Tactical Marines in MK IV armour
5 Cataphractii Terminators (with standard combi-bolters and a single heavy flamer)
1 Contemptor Dreadnought (with access to lascannon and Kheres pattern assault cannon)
1 Legion Praetor in Cataphractii armour
1 Chaplain / Dark Apostle in MK IV armour









You can buy it to play the game included, or you can buy it and kickstart a 30k project. The contents of the box provide you with a pair of semi-decent Elites choices, two tiers of HQ (Praetorian and Centurion) and enough Tacticals to make either one (thirty strong), two (fifteen strong) or three (ten strong) squads of bolter armed models.

Or, be boring and use them for 40k I suppose.

New or modified ruleset?

Remains to be seen how it holds up ... or if it is like Age of ... was it Sigmar?  

[Vikki Stardust]

It's Horus Heresy, so its 1000x better than Sigmar. emotion_omnomnom

Best way to look at this is release is that they're doing a decently priced Horus Heresy starter with a free game on top of it.

A pair of crisper sprue shots:



Contemptor Dreadnought with multi-melta and Kheres pattern assault cannon options. The power fist has a built-in combi-bolter.



Cataphractii Terminators with the choice between lightning claws or combi-bolters and power fists.

Hopefully the Kheres Assault Cannon is easier to assemble than the one from Forge World.

If you take a gander at the sprue pick posted earlier you'll see that the whole arm assembly is made up of four parts, so no faffing about with bent barrels this time round! wink

I ******** want this!..Now!  

[Sean King]

My problem wasn't bent barrels, it was that they had 2 barrels end to end and you had to cut it at exactly the right point or they wouldn't fit.

Also, this issue of the White Dwarf Weekly comes with a free Ultramarine pin badge. The Warhammer Visions of December will come with a free Word Bearers pin bade.

I hope I make enough working the election and for Christmas and my birthday to afford these.

It'll prolly be sold out by the time I get around to x-mas shopping. emo
