Forge World Drops Incredible New Horus Ascended Miniature

What may be one of the most incredible models ever made for Warhammer was revealed as a brand new Forge World Horus Ascended!

We have a new model reveal for Horus Ascended, and we also know his rules from the Liber Hereticus – Traitor Legiones Astartes Army Book for games of Horus Heresy 2.0!

For just a single model, Horus Ascended has quite a slew of abilities for being better than a Daemon Primarch with the power of Chaos Eternal.

Horus Ascended Forge World: $144

Warhammer Community unveiled the pre-order, and everything should be shipped on 1/21/2023

This finely detailed resin kit builds Horus Ascended, depicted as he’s seen at the end of the Horus Heresy. Horus can be taken in your games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy as a Primarch for your Traitor Sons of Horus army. In game, his combat prowess makes him all-but unbeatable in a duel, requiring your opponent to shift their plans to deal with the threat he presents. Horus Ascended is comprised of 41 resin components, and comes with a 50mm Round base for gaming, which slots into an 80mm Round display base.

As we said, you can also order this right from GW’s site, but it is in resin. This is just a really cool mini, and while it’s quite expensive, it’s a lot cooler than the normal Horus mini!

Here is a closer look at the new Horus’ models size compared to the previous one and more:

New Horus Ascended Model Announced by GW: September 6th, 2022

This incredible resin model captures Horus at the height of his warp-twisted powers, adorned with his full accursed panoply and draped in the puissance of Chaos. He’s not just not just an exquisite display piece, either – you can find unique rules for this transfigured paragon in the Liber Hereticus, allowing him to lead your Sons of Horus Legion on the tabletop.

The big guy is almost here in all his Chaos glory!

HorusWell, first up, this model is just awesome! Plus, it’s really cool to have a separate model for the ascended version, as you can play both in games of Horus Heresy.

Horus Ascended 2

Rendered in highly detailed resin, this model is the first in a new Character Series from Forge World, representing each of the Primarchs at the height of the Heresy – whether they’re fully under the sway of Chaos, or rallying to defend the Imperium in its darkest hour – giving us a fresh look at the driving characters of this epic saga as they lead their Legions into the biggest battles.

They also mentioned we will see more ascended versions of Primarchs in the future.

Horus Ascended 3Games Workshop confirmed he will be cast in resin from Forge World, which resulted in a seriously hefty price tag. But hey, what can you do?

Horus Ascended 4Lastly, they showed how big he is compared to the old model, which looks enormous.  You can tell this is much larger than the “Lupercal” version, with a ton more detail!  Now we know the new model is on an 80mm base, and the older one is on a 60mm round base in this comparison.
