Here are all the latest Horus Heresy FAQs for the new edition, including core rules, Astartes, Hereticus, and updates to Legacy Army Rules.
Games Workshop has released a lot of FAQs for the new edition of Horus Heresy, so it is interesting to see what they think is worth changing each time.
We’ll cover some of the big changes here for each update, but we won’t look at everything inside each one, as there are tons and tons of changes this time around. If you play the game, it’s good to look and see what’s changing.
GW Drops New Horus Heresy FAQs & Legacy Army Rules
The new Horus Heresy FAQs & Legacy Army Rules updates come from Warhammer Community.
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy is a game of fierce, bloody battles set during an all-consuming galactic civil war. A large number of new units and rules publications have been added to the game since its release last year, and the team has spent time poring over the vast majority of the currently published material, answering questions, adjusting values for some Legacy units, and clearing up certain rules in a series of Errata and FAQ documents.
There are six new FAQs and three sets of new rules for the legacy armies, so it looks like GW will at least keep them somewhat updated, which is nice.
Core Rules FAQ
The Age of Darkness Rulebook, Liber Astartes, and Liber Hereticus have each received a number of updates, including clarifications to Reactions that let you make a Shooting Attack or react to a Charge, clearing up how Graviton and Haywire weapons work against mixed squads, and answers to various FAQs. You can download all three below – all changes are in magenta, for ease of reading.
There are a lot of clarifications to reactions in the core rules, as they can be a little confusing. So, if you’ve had any questions about them, this should hopefully clear them up.

Liber Astartes & Liber Hereticus FAQs
Considering these both got a big FAQ last year, this time, it’s just some more clarifications on wargear and a few smaller questions.
Download the Liber Astartes FAQ here.
The main focus of the Hereticus FAQ focuses on the Achean force, along with a few questions as well.

Other Horus Heresy FAQs
The Liber Imperium corrects some profiles for Sisters of Silence units like the Kharon Acquisitor, while the Liber Mechanicum receives an important change to Knights Armiger, making them susceptible to Haywire, Detonation, Armourbane (X), and Battlesmith (X) in the same manner as Dreadnoughts.
Exemplary Battles: Volume One also tidies up certain interactions in the new Legiones Hereticus rules for Fulgrim’s corrupted Legion.
There were some issues with profiles in these books, so it’s nice to get some bigger FAQs for them!
Legacy factions and esoteric units have also had a careful eye cast over them, with changes directly incorporated into new versions of the downloadable documents. You’ll find increased durability on Marauder aircraft, a clarification to Imperialis Militia Voidjumpers, a boosted blast radius for the Praetor Armoured Assault Launcher, and more, plus a bundle of points changes throughout the Legacies of the Age of Darkness.
Last but not least, if you play any of the more off-meta armies, they are also getting some updates as well!
