Kaedes Nex, the Raven Guard’s most feared assassin, arrives in the Horus Heresy with a new Forge World miniature.
The Horus Heresy is full of legendary warriors, but few are as infamous as Kaedes Nex, the Moritat-Prime of the Raven Guard. This grim figure is returning to the battlefield with a new Forge World resin miniature, bringing his lethal skills and dual Fulcrum hand cannons to life for Horus Heresy players.
Kaedes Nex – A Deadly Outcast of the Raven Guard
From the moment Nex was recruited, he was viewed as an ill omen. Once a convicted murderer rotting in the depths of a Deliverance prison, he was given a brutal chance at redemption by Corvus Corax himself. With a knack for silent, efficient kills, Nex proved invaluable in covert missions—despite the unease he caused among his battle-brothers.
Though he was believed dead after the Drop Site Massacre, Nex reemerged, leaving a trail of death across the battlefields of the Horus Heresy. A lone hunter, he fought alongside multiple Loyalist forces, though his true motives remained a mystery. His moniker, The Raven’s Huntsman, was both a sign of respect and a warning—Kaedes Nex didn’t fight for camaraderie. He fought for the thrill of the hunt.
New Forge World Miniature & Rules
This Forge World resin miniature captures Nex’s ominous presence with his midnight-black armor and signature Fulcrum hand cannons. His pose embodies the deadly precision he was known for—ready to execute his next target with unerring accuracy.
For those looking to field Nex in their Horus Heresy games, his rules will be available in Campaigns of The Age of Darkness: The Martian Civil War. As a solo operative, he fits naturally into Raven Guard armies, but his skills also make him an interesting addition to Blackshields Detachments, offering a unique tactical edge to those who favor a more unpredictable approach.
Why You Need Kaedes Nex in Your Army
Kaedes Nex isn’t just another HQ choice—he’s a walking nightmare for enemy leaders. With an ability to move independently, strike hard, and disappear just as quickly, he excels at assassination-style tactics. His inclusion in Blackshields Detachments also makes him a rare character who can support unconventional forces, giving players more flexibility in list-building.
If you’re looking to add a character with a dark past, an unpredictable playstyle, and a reputation built on sheer lethality, Kaedes Nex is the perfect fit. Keep an eye out—the Blood Crow is coming.
