The new Horus Heresy Legion Command Upgrade Set will let you turn your marines into leaders and inspire the rest of your legion!

These boxes (there are three in total) will not only have a bunch of bits but also interchangeable standards (for loyalists and traitors) and tons of decals! Maybe most importantly, they are all plastic, which makes working with them much easier!

Upgrade Your Horus Heresy Marines With the New Legion Command Set!

Here is the latest on the new Legion Command Set from Warhammer Community

The Legion Command Upgrade Set is a new plastic frame with 27 upgrades, perfect for fitting out your Command Squads with all the extra pomp and pizazz they so clearly deserve. On top of all the plastic bits, you’ll also get a new Legion Command transfer sheet in the box, which includes 463 decals.

Horus Heresy upgrade kits in plastic? Yes, please! This kit has a pretty great-looking range of bits, upgrades, and weapons. This feels like the Solar Auxila Command box set but with more options. Plus, 463 decals are plenty for almost any army.

You’ll score five combat shields and five regular power swords, two alternative power swords – one sheathed, the other gripped in a bionic arm with an empty sheathe – and a bolt pistol, plus numerous arms and hands to put them all to work. The kit also contains four artificer pauldrons, a helmet under one arm, and 11 heads – three bare and eight in fancy helmets.

What really sets a Command Squad apart from any other collection of exemplary Veterans is the detailed Legion standard they hold aloft. This kit includes options for a large hanging tapestry or a more compact standard, with four interchangeable icons themed around Loyalist or Traitor Legions.

It’s nice this isn’t locked into a single legion, and with all the different banners, you should be able to use this for most legions.

Upgrade Sets With Marines

This upgrade set is compatible with both Legion MKIII and MKVI Tactical Squads. For those who urgently need a gang of appropriately armoured heavies to stand by their characters and look menacing, you’ll also be able to pick up Legion Command Squads ready to go, in different boxes for either armour mark.

If you don’t have spare marines just hanging around waiting for upgrades, there will be two additional sets, one for MKIII and one for MKVI.

Each will contain one sprue of five Tactical Space Marines, the standard Tactical Squad accessory sprue featuring bayonets, a power sword, plasma pistol, and a power fist or lightning claw, as well as the new Legion Command Upgrade frame and transfer sheet.

They say the sets will be available for pre-order later in the year but don’t really give more than that for the timeframe.

The Horus Heresy Legion Command Upgrade Set will be a great addition to any Space Marine collection. With its extensive range of bits, upgrades, and weapons, it allows you to turn your marines into leaders and inspire the rest of your legion. Plus, the plastic frame and numerous decals make customization much easier.
