New Horus Heresy models are on pre-order at Forge World; this time, you can score Horus Ascended along with more upgrade packs.
If you play Horus Heresy, this is a good week, as we can finally order Horus Ascended, the model is a little pricey, but it’s really cool! Just keep in mind that even though he’s also available on GW’s site, he is still Forge World resin.
Then, both the Ultramarines and Thousand Sons grab more upgrades, and this time they are actually on pre-order, not MTO.
Horus Ascended Pre-Order: $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!
Thousand Sons MKVI Heads: $23
This upgrade kit can be used to customise Legionaries from the MKVI Tactical Squad set with new heads, replacing the standard helmets with ostentatious headgear suited to the Thousand Sons. The kit includes nine helmeted heads in three different designs, each with crested brow circlets, as well as two heads designed for Sergeants – one bare, bald head with an air of contemplation, and one helm with a larger crest and more prominent jewel. Spread these components around your army to add some XV Legion flavour, or outfit entire squads for an elite, unified look.
Thousand Sons MKVI Shoulder Pads: $23
Ultramarines MKVI Heads: $23
This upgrade kit can be used to customise Legionaries from the MKVI Tactical Squad set with new heads, replacing the standard helmets with Ultramarines-specific headgear. The kit includes nine helmeted heads in three different designs, each with armour panel seams and alternative grille pattterns, as well as two heads designed for Sergeants – one bare head with noble features and a laurel wreath, and one beaked helm with an impressive transverse crest. Spread these components around your army to add some XIII Legion flavour, or outfit entire squads for an elite, unified look.
Ultramarines MKVI Shoulder Pads: $23
