Don’t miss Forge World’s new Dark Angel Space Marines miniatures for use with Horus Heresy, and Warhammer 40k!
Forge World has been working on more Legion-specific models for the Horus Heresy. In this batch of pre-orders, the Dark Angels are getting to awesome new models: a Contemptor and Praetor. You could also use them in your 40k armies as well with their codex rules.
That said, these items will ship on August 16, 2019.
Dark Angels Legion Contemptor $59
The Contemptor Dreadnoughts of the Legiones Astartes enabled the mortally injured warriors interred within them to continue to serve their Legions during the Great Crusade, and many fought at the forefront of some of the bloodiest and fiercest battles of the Horus Heresy. A large number were destroyed during those dark times, but some survived and are still in service in the Space Marine Chapters and Chaos Space Marine warbands of the 41st Millennium. This Contemptor Dreadnought bears the knightly heraldry and iconography of the Dark Angels.
This model is the barebones chassis for any Contemptor that a Legion can take. The only difference is that it’s loaded up with Dark Angels iconography. Note that this pre-order doesn’t come with any weapons so you’ll need to grab a combination of two when you get this guy. Also, remember to future-proof your models and magnetize those arms!
Dark Angels Terminator Praetor $41
Praetors were amongst the greatest commanders of their Legions, seasoned by years of war and masters of both front-line combat and tactical command. This kit includes everything you need to build one such Praetor to lead your Dark Angels, with enough ornate detail and beautiful embellishments to make it stand out on the tabletop. Plus, you’ll be able to customise your Praetor with your choice of either a helmeted or bare head.
In the same vein as the Contemptor, this Praetor is decked-out with 1st Legion iconography. Praetors are one of the cheaper backbone HQ options for any 30k list. Even if you don’t use them in every game, it’s a good idea just to have one ready!
