THOUSAND SONS TASK FORCE £225

99020187189_ThousandSonsTaskForce

Blessed and cursed in equal measure, the Legionnaires of the Thousand Sons possessed psychic powers in extent and number unheard of in the Legiones Astartes. The XVth Legion was viewed with suspicion, not least because of the ‘flesh-change’; horrific mutations afflicting many Legionnaires after the manifestation of their psychic abilities.

Despite their censure at the Council of Nikaea, banning the use of psychic powers in the ranks of the Legiones Astartes and disbanding the Librarius, the Thousand Sons still stood as loyal warriors, devoted to the defence of the Imperium of Mankind. That loyalty came to a sudden end, with the desolation of the Legion’s homeworld of Prospero by Leman Russ and his Space Wolves.

This exceptional bundle is the perfect start to your Legion. The models and upgrades included allow you to dive straight into the cataclysmic warfare of the Horus Heresy.

Included are thirty-eight plastic models; a Praetor in Cataphractii Terminator Armour; a Legion Chaplain; a Contemptor Dreadnought, armed with a Close Combat Fist with inbuilt combi-bolter and a choice of multi-melta or Kheres assault cannon; a squad of five Cataphractii Terminators includinga Sergeant, with weapon options including combi-bolters, power fists, lightning claws, chain fists, power swords, a heavy flamer and a grenade harness; and Thirty Legion Tactical Space Marines in MK4 armour, with a huge selection of weapons and custom features, including bolters, missile launchers, heavy bolters, chainswords, power swords, power fists, plasma pistols, lightning claws, plasma guns, melta guns, flamers, combi-weapons, combat blades, ammo packs, holstered bolt pistols and a selection of grenades. These thirty Space Marines make perfect Legion Tactical, Veteran Tactical, Legion tactical Support or Legion Heavy Support Squads.

To upgrade all thirty Tactical Space Marines with the armour of your Legion there are ninety resin components included; thirty Thousand Sons Legion Heads; thirty Thousand Sons Legion Torsos; and thirty Thousand Sons Legion Mk IV Shoulder Pads.

Also included is the full Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth game, including four double-sided boards, beautifully printed on thick card stock; a forty-eight page book, featuring an introduction to the battle on Calth and comprehensive rules and scenarios for playing the game; forty-two command and reference cards, used to introduce effects and events into the game; twelve dice and an array of markers used in-game.
