The fourth installment of new Forge World Horus Heresy Upgrade Kits are here, this time for the Iron Warriors!
We know now that these won’t be in plastic, so, if you were hoping for all new plastic, it looks like we won’t be getting everything in plastic after all…
Warhammer Community unveiled the new bits, but we’ll also take a look at the previous kits they released as well.
Sons of Horus Resin Upgrade Kits
This set of 11 detailed resin heads adds some malignant variety to your MKVI Legion Tactical Squads. There are three sets of three different designs, plus a bare-headed option criss-crossed with battle scars, and a magnificent helmet with a traditional top-knot fit for a Praetor.
Similar to the Imperial Fists ones, these will be in resin but are pretty cool considering the starter sets and main sets will not have any type of legion-allegiance.
Originally known as the Eye of Terra, this ominous symbol once represented the watchful gaze of the Emperor himself. Now this eye belongs to the Warmaster, and it’s watchful in a rather less comforting way.
Both sets will be up for pre-order soon, alongside their Imperial Fists counterparts. Further sets of heads and shoulder pads will be released for each of the Legions in good time.
Dark Angels Upgrade Kits
With nine regular helmets in a mix of three Calibanite styles – plus a winged Sergeant helmet, and a bare head with a snazzy beard and noble diadem – this pack of 11 heads is a great way to personalize your troops in Mark VI armour.
These are actually some pretty cool heads! Just remember, these are going to be resin, not plastic.
Also coming soon is a set of Mark VI shoulder pads for Dark Angels. The embossed Legion symbol on these pauldrons is perfect for ensuring your fully-painted sons of the Lion stand out in the heat of battle. Now they can proudly stand beside Madruk Sedras and his massive sword.
Nothing too insane, but if you really want to show off that legion pride, then these are going to be right up your alley!
Forge World Horus Heresy Iron Warriors Upgrade Kits Announced
This set of 11 resin heads allows you to accessorise and upgrade your own sons of Perturabo with an extra twist of Legion flair. On top of nine skull-faced helmets in three different designs, there’s a cyborg bare head and an appropriately-decorated helm for officers – why waste bolter shells when you can recycle them into a fancy crest?
If you really want to show your legion pride, these are the way to go!
Although designed for the new Mark VI Space Marines,* these heads will work just as well on any mark of power armour. But why stop there? Shoulder pads are a perfect canvas for eye-catching customisation, and a large sculpted Legion icon really pops against a black pauldron. Show the Lord of Iron you’re one of his most dependable minions valued subordinates with this pack of 10 resin shoulder pads, usable on almost any Space Marine model. Both upgrade sets are coming later this year, and pair wonderfully with Iron Warriors Transfers – as well as the Made to Order Iron Warriors MkIV Shoulder Pads and MkII Torsos coming to pre-order this weekend.
These have the classic feel which is always something we like to see!
