Here’s our first clear shots of the new Horus Heresy box set, and it looks absolutely amazing. From the looks of this HEX based board, this is it’s own separate game from the Horus Heresy we all know and love from Forge World.

Perhaps the Battle For Calth will be similar to the 1-player execution force game that the Assassins came in?

Contents of the Box:

  • 30x Tactical marines MK IV Plate
  • 5x Catapharctii Terminators
  • 1x Contemptor with Lascannon, Melta, Assault Cannon and CCW
  • 1x Captain Aethon
  • 1x Kurtha Sedd

There is new game dice, and some sort of legion specific game play “command” decks as well. We can also see what looks to be wound makers in front of one of the terminators too.

The description mentions a 48-page rules book that may perhaps contain Battle for Calth scenarios as well as datasheets for the named characters listed, and squads.

If you’re not sold yet that you need this box in your life, checkout the values on these kits if you bought them from Forge World.

So keeping that in mind lets break down the retail pricing from Forge World:

  • Artificier Armor Centurion, Cataphractii Terminator Praetor  £31.50 For the set of two
  • Mk IV Maximus Marine Squad (x10) £46 plus £23 for the bolters
  • Mk IV Maximus Marine Squad (x10) £46 plus £23 for the bolters
  • Mk IV Maximus Marine Squad (x10)£46 plus £23 for the bolters
  • Cataphractii Terminator Squad (x5) £34 ea
  • Contemptor Dreadnought  £32 ea (minus arms), plus £9.5 an arm x4

At those prices this box set comes out to a total of £348 which equals out to about

$522.00!!!

And that was the old prices before the recent “stealth” price adjustment that was reported this week!

Whether you play Heresy or not, you may not want to pass up a deal like this from Games Workshop.

All this is coming your way on November 14!
