New Horus Heresy Astartes Battle Group, Votann, & More: First Look

A ton of products make up next week’s new release lineup, spotlighting Horus Heresy, again for a two-week pre-order; here are all the details from Warhammer Community.

Exemplary Battles of the Age of Darkness: Volume I

This 112-page hardback is the next expansion for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. It features updates to Exemplary Battles from the previous edition of the game, with reworked missions and revised unit profiles, as well as an entirely new Exemplary Battle. You’ll also find army rules for a corrupted Emperor’s Children Legiones Hereticus force, and rules for the incredible Fulgrim Transfigured miniature. It will be available as an ePub if you prefer to take digital versions with you when you play.  

It looks like this will be the beginning of the third legion’s descent into madness, rules-wise, with all the details on that Fulgrim Transfigured miniature that we hope to see released soon!

Legiones Astartes Battle Group Pre-Order

Dive straight into the Age of Darkness with this loaded boxed set which includes a whopping 32 plastic miniatures, representing a ready-made Battle Force which can be painted and played as either Loyalists or Traitors. 

Deploy the newly updated MKIII power armoured Space Marines alongside a Land Raider Proteus and – for the first time ever in plastic – a heavily-armed Deredeo Dreadnought. You’ll also get a set of Legiones Astartes Special Weapon Upgrades, as well as almost 400 transfers featuring markings from the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists!

The value on this box is pretty wild and worth a pickup for just the sheer number of models inside, not to mention the savings.

Legiones Astartes MKIII Tactical Squad

Tactical squads are the mainstay of the Space Marine Legions, and the force by which the Great Crusade reconquered much of the galaxy. Reinforce your Legions with troops clad in the iconic MKIII ‘Iron’ power armour, which includes additional build options for vexilla, vox, and Sergeants – including plasma pistols and power fists. The box contains 20 miniatures, which can be fielded as a pair of 10-model Tactical Squads or a single 20-model Tactical Squad – they’re also fully compatible with existing MKVI plastic upgrade parts.

Just like we saw with the MKVI Beakies and other armor variants, the MKIII will also be available in a 20-pack as well!

Legiones Astartes Deredeo Dreadnought (Anvilus Configuration)

Deployed in limited numbers to each of the Legions, the Deredeo is a specialist Dreadnought with unparalleled survivability that makes it highly sought-after by Traitors and Loyalists alike. Available for the first time in plastic, the Deredeo is a walking weapons platform which can be assembled with either the anti-infantry firepower of the Anvilus autocannon battery or an armour-rending hellfire plasma cannonade.

Another port over from Forge World Resin, the Deredeo, is coming in both plasma and Autocannon variants!

Warhammer Commemorative Series – Leagues of Votann: The Ancestors’ Wrath

This commemorative miniature is available to order until 8am GMT on Monday the 6th of November 2023 and everyone ordering within this window will be guaranteed to receive a copy. We will ship them out within 180 days of the ordering window closing.

The official Warhammer Day miniature, this time for the Leagues of Votann, seems to be skipping the big day by a few weeks. This model will be available on made-to-order starting November 6th for delivery in April 2024.

Stormvault Skirmish Case

The new Stormvault Skirmish Case is the ideal way to carry a Kill Team squad, a Warcry warband, a Blood Bowl team, a Necromunda gang, a Warhammer Underworlds warband, or any other small but elite force of miniatures. The case is lined with smooth silicone bristles that close together with the lid and grip your miniatures securely in place, protecting them from damage. The bristles are precisely spaced to hold any type of miniature on a 25-40mm round base and up to a 75mm oval base.

Another highly memed Games Workshop product, this case may or may not turn out to be a hit depending on its price point.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (Book)

Take a trip down memory lane, and get a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of the game with this faithful reprint of the original edition of Warhammer 40,000, first released in 1987. 

Previously only available to purchase at Warhammer World, this 288-pageWarhammer 40,000: Rogue Traderbook will be available on a Print on Demand basis until 8am BST on Monday the 23rd of October 2023 and will ship within 180 days of the ordering window closing. Make sure to secure this must-have collectors item while you can!

Print on demand seems to be a Monday release thing as of late, but adding this book to your collection is worth the wait!  Look for delivery in April 2024, according to their 180-day estimate.
