The Vanus Infocyte Assassin is joining the ranks as the newest operative for Horus Heresy after years of not having a model.
This has been in the lore for a while now but never had a model, so it’s nice to see! They have access to a wide range of weaponry and can actually control enemy vehicles, disrupt troop patterns, and more! They didn’t say whether this would be from Forge World or in plastic from GW, so we’ll just have to wait and see about that.
Warhammer Community unveiled the new mini and what to expect with the model! Let’s check it out.
Horus Heresy Vanus Infocyte Assassin
Operatives of the Clade Vanus use information as their weapon, processing staggering amounts of battlefield data and detecting enemy troops from the moment they arrive. Their advanced augury equipment can even peer into the noosphere – the veil of communication between machines and their controllers – and twist transmissions to their own ends.
The model itself is really cool and fits in quite well with the other assassins. Plus, having another assassin in the ranks allows for some fun things to happen.
With the keys to friendly and enemy weapon systems at their fingertips, Infocytes can intercept newcomers with a barrage from their own allies’ weapons. They can also wreak havoc on the internal systems of Mechanicum automata, making them perfect counters to the robotic legions of Traitor Taghmata.
There are plenty of really cool details on the model, but unfortunately, they haven’t yet given an exact release date quite yet…
