Legions Imperialis – Legiones Astartes Kratos Heavy Tank Squadron
The Heavy armour for the Legiones Astartes is here, with the Kratos Heavy Tank.
The Kratos is a new type of vehicle for the Horus Heresy, that was introduced in full scale as a plastic kit in 2022 for the release of the 2nd edition. It is bigger than the Sicaran, whose resin kit was replaced by a plastic kit as well last year. And now you can have both them, again in plastic, for Legions Imperialis.
While the Sicaran is currently exclusive to the core set, you can get the Kratos Heavy Tank Squadron of four, as part of the first wave for the game at a RRP of 40 EUR / 30 GBP.
Legions Imperialis – Solar Auxilia Baneblade Squadron
We gave you the overview on the content of the core set, so let's continue with the additional content of the first wave and the first super heavy options for the Solar Auxilia - the Baneblade Squadron!
This kit comes with two sprues at a RRP of 40 EURs / 30 GBP, each sprue covers enough parts to build either a Baneblade or a Hellhammer.
Legions Imperialis – Legiones Astartes Rhino Transport Detachment
One of the first plastic vehicles for Rogue Trader back in the late 80s and now among the first wave models for the Legiones Astartes - the Rhino Transport Detachment.
As usual, as double sprue pack with identical sprues, covering a total of 10 (!) armoured personal carriers, at a RRP of 40 EUR / 30 GBP.
Legions Imperialis – Legiones Astartes
After the unboxing of the core set we go into detail on the two factions of the first wave of Legions Imperialis. The Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia are part of the core set, and their infantry boxes are available right from the start with the initial wave, along with some heavier equipment for the motor pool.
This article covers the Legiones Astartes Infantry (incl. Contemptor Dreadnought) boxed set, and Predator and Sicaran tanks from the core set.
Each of these boxes come with two identical sprues and an instruction leaflet, at a RRP of 40 EUR / 30 GBP. We begin with the infantry of the Legiones Astartes, which is included with two sprues in the core set as well.
Legions Imperialis – The Solar Auxilia
The second force within the new Legions Imperialis core set is the Solar Auxilia. Similar to the Legiones Astartes, we have the Infantry set available as part of the first wave. The Baneblade / Hellhammer will be covered in an article of its own.
So today, we will look into the Solar Auxilia Infantry (incl. Charonite Ogryns and Aethon Heavy Sentinels), as well the Leman Russ and Malcador which are currently exclusive to the core set.
Each of boxes cover two identical sprues at a RRP of 40 EUR / 30 GBP. Decals are only included with the vehicle kits. Let's start with the Infantry.
Warhammer The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis – Unboxing
It is finally here! We have a large release for Legions Imperialis, battles within the Horus Heresy in an epic scale! And we start with an unboxing of the starter set, covering Legiones Astartes, Solar Auxilia and even two Warhounds.
This will be the initial unboxing, followed by detailed, indepth reviews, as you have seen it in the past for example with the Age of Darkness or Leviathan boxed set. And it is great that we return once again to when I was there the day Horus slew the Emperor.
Warhammer The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis – Preview
The announcement we have all been waiting for is finally here and only weeks seperate us now from the release of The Horus Heresy Legions Imperialis, 30k combat in an epic scale! Pre-Order is going live on Saturday 18th (usually 10 am in your local time zone, for Europe it's 11 am) and the delivery is set for two weeks after that, on December 2nd.
We're still in the embargo window on the coverage, but we're very excited for the upcoming weeks and have a lot of content prepared.
Adeptus Titanicus – Adding a Legion to your Legio Pt. 2
While we wait for the pre-orders / release of Horus Heresy Legions Imperialis we continue to connect the new system with Adeptus Titanicus range. Which Space Marine Legion sided with which Titan Legio, and as we covered the Loyalist in our first article, earlier this week, it is now time to see who fought for and with the Warmaster.
Similar to the legios like Astorum or Gryphonicus who fought with almost every loyalist Astartes Legion, there are legios like Mortis, Fureans or Krytos, who fought alongside most of the traitors during the Horus Heresy. Some even with loyalists prior to their secession.
Yet, other Legios have no official / canon connections towards other forces (beside maybe Knight Households), but this creates room for your own narratives, like in the case of Legio Damicium, Laniaskara or Vulturum.
Adeptus Titanicus – Adding a Legion to your Legio
With the excitement about the re-release of Epic as Horus Heresy Legions Imperialis, you might be wondering which Astartes Legion to choose. And while this can be an entirely new project and that is absolutely fine, you might want to use your collection of Adeptus Titanicus miniatures.
Which Legion would be a proper fit to your Legio? Let us try to answer these questions, based upon the available lore. And these are mere suggestions. The grim dark future is expands into a vast universe, so there is plenty of space for your own campaigns and combinations that aren't listed below, for multiple reasons (pre-heresy alliances, loyalists of traitor legions, Blackshields etc.). But as I am aware that a lot of the 30k community values the lore, I want to provide an overview for the Titan Legions of the Loyalist and Traitor book.
Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis
With yesterdays non-40k preview we had an epic teaser and reveal on the return of small scale battles in the Grim Dark future, but not covering 40k but 30k's conflict of the Horus Heresy. The name Epic is dropped and returns as Warhammer The Horus Heresy - Legions Imperialis.
And this means, I am spot on with my Horus Heresy on an epic scale and really looking forward, what the rules and new range brings along.
Games Workshop revealed a rulebook and starter set, which can be either used as a conflict or large army box, covering Space Marines and Solar Auxilia. The poster boys for this release are the death guard.
