The Horus Heresy and Necromunda Weekender is over and details about the events and primarchs emerging for the new Horus Heresy Malevolence rulebook.
It looks like we’ll be getting not one but at least TWO new primarchs in the very near future from Forge World and a complete update to the red books as well as some legions will be changing starting with what looks to be a new name for book VIII: Malevolence. (which appears to be the new name for Angelus)
Battle Bunnies was at the Malevolence seminar and gave us a great write up on everything that was covered.
Infos from the Malevolence Seminar – it’s all about daemons, Blood Angels, White Scars, Space Wolves and Alpha Legion.
New Daemon kits coming to combat Legions. Variations and upgrades. They are still working on the rules, and are looking at militia style rule builds.
Chondax and Signis Prime.
Signis Prime will be based around the Signis system and combating Daemons. Chondax will be based around Alpha Legion trying to stall the White Scars leaving their Chondax Crusade.
Rules for Jaghatti and Sanguinius!
Book will be hopefully out this year.
Vlka Fenryka are in attendance and it is to do with the Alpha Legion chasing the Rout into the Alaxxes Nebula. Possibly Lord Gunn (oh throne yes!!!!!) will get a character.
Alpha Legion may get some new Characters too (that said, they are all Alpharius, right?)
There will be a new Destroyer unit for the Blood Angels – they wear silver death masks!
Destroyer units will get updated in time. Possibly after they release the Dark Angels in the next Red Book Army Book (where they will be adressing unit options too!).Sanguinius: will be one of the better melee Primarchs.
Raldoron will get rules (almost certainly) in this book. 1 Primarch and 2 Characters for White Scars and Blood Angels.
Possibly Amit might be with the Fleshtearers faction at a later date. But he is still in the runnings.
Dark Angels hopefully in a book 2019, with the updated red books 2020 (this is a best guessed time line).
White Scars. The previous rules might be updated slightly (from feedback from the community).
Khan will possibly have the option for jet bike, including model option.
Yesugai might not get rules in this book for pretty much the same way as Amit above, he might not be so central to the story they are telling at the moment.But the White Scars First Captain could get featured!
Book 9 Dark Angels and Night Lords, Dark Mechanicum and the Sarum Campaign too. This is subject to change though. Basically, they have split Angelus in two and added White Scars.
Existing named Daemons will be present, the big ones from Signis may get special rules, but it is likely that you can make your own Greater Daemon with options/structure akin to Militia to build him.
Looks like tons of updates are on the way from this seminar for players of Horus Heresy including Daemons!
The Varangian Heresy podcast dug a little deeper and had a great summary of this showcase Saturday as well:
White Scars, Blood Angels and Demons!
So breakdown of what’s going on:
Rules for – Blood Angles, White Scars, Demons of the Ruinstorm, space Wolves and alpha legion.
Rules for Khan, Sanginius, Omegon and other characters.
Also civil war within the alpha legion and signups prime and Chandax among other things. Heaps of background story about BA and WS and the others also demons are very themed as stand alone but can still be use to represent the 4 power or minor powers kind of build your own demon list.
Host of sacrifice is a Blood angels destroyer unit.
New revised rules for general destroyer unit are coming.
Next book will contain Dark Angels and 2020 all the red books will be updated and include all the legions.
Updated psychic rules and how to summon demons.
They will revisit the rules and make incorporate community feedback. Also Anju knows about the Varangian Heresy FAQ and we can see an updated FW FAQ soon with almost most of the things touched in the Varangian to be included in it
Khan will have options for mounted and dismounted.
Next book after this is dark mechanicum and dark angels. Focus is Terran tech and weird mechanicum monsters.
And of course, GW looks to have preview what appears to be a very ornate suit of armor that could only belong to Alpharius himself…
The new preview above from GW, and below in the Pythian Scales from his rules entry in the Horus Heresy:
New primarch models, kits galore, and new red books in 2020! Overall it looks like fans of the Horus Heresy have tons to look forward to heading towards the final assault on Terra.
