Here’s the latest on what new Horus Heresy releases are on the way into 2025 from the Nova Open, and what’s next with their Thursdays previews returning!
Horus Heresy Age of Darkness: New Factions, Epic Battles, and the Return of Thursday Previews
The Horus Heresy never fails to surprise, and this year, the Age of Darkness has been anything but quiet. From the march of the Solar Auxilia and the Mechanicum stepping up their game to the battlefield-shaking introduction of Legions Imperialis, there’s enough going on to make even the most battle-hardened Primarch raise an eyebrow. If this roadmap isn’t enough to satiate your Warhammer needs, be sure to check out our roadmap with all the unreleased Horus Heresy miniatures and rumors so far!
Mechanicum Pre-Orders and the Martian Civil War
For those itching to add the latest Mechanicum models to their collection, the wait is almost over. The Martian Civil War is about to be immortalized in plastic, offering both narrative depth and new units to bolster your forces. This is more than just another campaign book; it’s a window into one of the most pivotal conflicts in the Age of Darkness. Expect to see the technological horrors of Mars unleashed in ways you never imagined. Go check out all the latest Mechanicum reveals here!
Legions Imperialis: A New Scale of Warfare
As if the resurgence of these factions wasn’t enough, the release of Legions Imperialis earlier this year has added a whole new dimension to the Heresy. We’re talking about battles that dwarf anything previously seen. Imagine entire legions clashing on a scale that makes even the most hardened Warmaster reconsider his strategies. This isn’t just about big tanks and towering titans; it’s about the sheer weight of history bearing down on you with every dice roll. The battlefield has never been this epic, and we’re only scratching the surface of what Legions Imperialis will bring to the tabletop.
A Long-Awaited Weapons Kit
The whispers on the noosphere suggest that a long-coveted “melee” weapons kit is on the horizon. While details are still under wraps, one can only speculate about the devastation these new armaments will bring. For now, we’ll have to keep our bolters at the ready and our vox channels open for more intel.
2025 and Beyond: Tanks and Walkers Galore
Looking ahead to 2025, it seems we’ll be treated to an array of new tanks and plastic weapons options for existing walkers. For those with a penchant for armored warfare, this is your time to shine. The Horus Heresy is about to get a whole lot heavier, and we’re here for every brutal, clanking minute of it.
The Return of Heresy Thursday
Finally, next month marks the return of a beloved tradition: Heresy Thursday. Expect regular updates, sneak peeks, and plenty of speculation fodder as new characters, consuls, and mysterious artifacts are revealed. If you’re plotting the next big campaign or just admiring the craftsmanship of the latest miniatures, Thursdays are about to become the highlight of your week.
Final Thoughts on the Horus Heresy Roadmap
As the galaxy continues to teeter on the edge of madness, the Horus Heresy shows no signs of slowing down. The road ahead is paved with bolter shells and tank treads, and we’re all just along for the ride.
As the dust settles from Operation Hivestorm, Games Workshop is refusing to give our wallets a breather and just hit us with more Warhammer goodness at the NOVA Open 2024 with a focus on roadmaps for all the games, so while there might not be the most minis, you will get a look at the future of all these games!
