Custodes Unleashed in Plastic: Horus Heresy Gets a Grand Miniature Refresh

Games Workshop revealed a plastic-heavy overhaul of the Horus Heresy Adeptus Custodes line, converting much of the resin range to plastic and delivering a more ornate, larger-scale infantry aesthetic. The first battlegroup box includes two Custodians' squads, Custodian Guard, Sentinels, a Shield Captain, a Contemptor dreadnought (configurable as Achillus or Galatus), and a Caladius Annihilator Grav-Tank, with more plastic variants (Caladius, Coronus, Venatari) planned. Updated Horus Heresy rules will appear in Liber Custodes, alongside rules for Assassinorum and the Sisters of Silence; the models are also compatible with Warhammer 40k. Fans are excited by the increased detail and scale, though the kits may be more complex to assemble.

Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Rules Unpacked: Tough, Fast, and Command-Ready

Warhammer Community breaks down the Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym in Horus Heresy-era play, highlighting their durability (2 Wounds, Toughness 4, 4+ save, 6+ invulnerable), speed (Fast 2 for Rush), and hard-hitting voltlock arquebuses with the Deflagrate rule. Units can form up to 16 and gain versatility via four Detachment Traits: Acquisitor and Expurgator (Line/Vanguard for objective control) and Vindictor and Scourger (Loyalist/Traitor options that boost Deflagrate or charge range). A key feature is the Marshal Elect reaction, which lets a fallen Battle-Pilgrym Marshal be replaced by another Ordinator with improved weapon skills and leadership, chosen during the End Phase. The article also updates the Myrmidon Destructor Host profile and points readers to a PDF of Journal Tactica, with pre-orders approaching.

"Warhammer: Legions Imperialis - A Fresh Take on the Horus Heresy"

"Warhammer: Legions Imperialis - A Fresh Take on the Horus Heresy"

Games Workshop's decision to set the Legions Imperialis game in the Horus Heresy era instead of the current 40k timeline can be attributed to both lore and production reasons. Lore-wise, the Horus Heresy offers a larger scale of devastation, allowing for the use of massive armies and Titans. Production-wise, focusing on the Horus Heresy allows GW to support multiple armies with just one kit, simplifying production and inventory management. Additionally, it avoids the need to produce Xenos models and prevents cannibalization of their existing player base and resources. While the lack of Xenos models may disappoint some players, there is a possibility of expansion in the future. Ultimately, GW believes that the Horus Heresy is the safest play for launching a new game.
