GW Reveals Another New Space Marines Tank & More Dark Angels!

horus heresy sons of horusSurprise, Forge World just debuted another new Space Marine tank for Horus Heresy and some new Dark Angels to boot. Check out the latest!

If you’re a fan of Dark Angels, you’ll be excited to know that two more new units out of your Legion have just been previewed on Warhammer Community. But before we look at the latest, make sure you get caught up on what’s exactly in store for 2020.

Earlier Horus Heresy Confirmed Previews for 2020

Normally, every year Forge World hosts a huge 30k event showcasing new models, rules, and other great stuff that’s ahead. But in 2020, there won’t be a Weekender. Don’t worry though, it’s not because your favorite game isn’t doing well…it’s because they are going to be so busy kicking off new minis, rules, and campaigns.

2020 is set to be an even better year for The Horus Heresy, and the game’s designers are already working hard to produce a year’s worth of incredible content! In fact, they’re so busy that they won’t be running a Horus Heresy Weekender in 2020 – they’re devoting the time that goes into organising and running such an event into creating more epic books and models instead.

Another campaign book is also coming next year pitting Dark Angels and Night Lords against one another in the Thramas sector. It’ll be titled “Crusade” and we can also expect new models (probably Legion-specific) to hit the arsenal as well.

That’s not all! Along with the book, 2020 will see some amazing new models released that tie in with the Thramas conflict – all of which we’ll take a look at in due time. Meanwhile, the Siege of Terra series from Black Library will continue apace as Horus and the traitors press on with their attack on the Imperial Palace. 

Horus Heresy New Dark Angels Units Previewed LATEST

Dreadwing Interemptors are coming to the field geared with special-issue plasma rifles called plasma burners. These guys are highly elite too!

 Similar to Destroyers of other Legions, the Interemptors are the Lion’s ultimate sanction, his final curse for those foolish enough to stand against the Dark Angels. Armed with plasma burners, they bring absolute devastation to your enemies.

Legion Arquitor Bombard

The Arquitor Bombard is a new tank coming to the Horus Heresy as well. Being on the smaller side and armed with supplementary heavy bolters, the main payload on this vehicle is one massive grav-flux bombard strapped to the back. But it looks like we’ll have more weapon options to choose from as well by the time it releases from Forge World.

The Bombard can be equipped with a variety of weapons, the most esoteric of which is the graviton-charge cannon, shown here. Like all graviton weapons, it pulverises its targets, cracking bones and rupturing organs.

Legion Sabre Tank 

If you look closely, it’s just a Sabre Strike tank chassis that’s had its body modified a bit to fit the massively-overkill grav-bombard on its back.

More Nuggets For What’s Coming in Book Nine: Crusade

More snippets of what’s in store for Book Nine: Crusade were also seeded into the new previews. Gw also mentioned the following:

  • There would be rules for Characters into a Scion of the wing of your choice. 
  • Crusade takes a look at all six wings that make up the Hexagrammaton.
  • Rules for field Marduk Sedras would be in the book. -They didn’t give explicit rules on him. But because of his length of service, he’s able to inspire Legionnaires around him and push them to do “great deeds”. 

With more surprise previews on the Dark Angels and Book Nine, will you be starting a Dark Angels force? Or will you wait to see exactly what the Night Lords will be getting before you pull the trigger? What other wargear options would you like to see available to the Arquitor?
