New Horus Heresy Starter & More HH Releases Pricing CONFIRMED!
It looks like the new Horus Heresy release date will be three weeks after pre-orders go live according to GW:
The Age of Darkness boxed set comes to pre-order this Saturday alongside a bundle of extras. After a slightly extended pre-order period, all this will be in your hands in just three short weeks.
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – The Age of Darkness €225 / $299
You get a mammoth 54 plastic miniatures – that’s two Legion Praetors, 10 Cataphractii Terminators, 40 highly customisable Tactical Space Marines in Mk VI power armour, one Contemptor Dreadnought, and one Spartan Assault Tank. This is the basis of two substantial forces, or one incredibly mighty army – and all but the Terminators are completely new models.
This box is massive, even if you only look at the miniature count, but there’s even more packed into the set.
There’s a 336-page hardback rulebook filled to bursting with everything you need to know, including extensive background information on one of the richest science fiction settings in the world, as well as comprehensive rules for this tactically rich tabletop wargame. There’s also a 36-page construction guide for all your lovely new models, introductory army lists for all the models you get in the box, and two four-page rules reference sheets.
You’ll need rules to play, and with this being the new edition update, it’s the perfect time to jump in head first!
It doesn’t stop there. You also get 20 six-sided dice, one six-sided scatter dice, two blast templates, one flame template, two classic-style red plastic measuring sticks, and a transfer sheet for good measure. In short – it’s huge.
And that’s not even all! If you order the set directly from the Games Workshop webstore, you’ll bag yourself an exclusive reaction token and card set (while stocks last). That means eight metal tokens and a deck of eight cards to keep track of the game’s six Reactions and two Advanced Reactions detailed in the main rulebook.
A nice bonus for paying full price for Horus Heresy Pre-orders from Games Workshop online, these freebies are a useful addition for collectors and gamers out there.
Liber Astartes €55 / $70
This weighty 344-page hardback tome is unstintingly comprehensive, cramming in everything a Loyalist general requires to field a Loyalist Legiones Astartes army in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. There are shared profiles for many units common to every Legion, plus unique rules for the nine, including Unit Profiles, Warlord Traits, Rites of War, Wargear, Faction Abilities, and Unique Reactions. It is available in English, French, and German.
Compilations of new rules are always handy especially if you’ve already decided which side you’ll fight for in Horus Heresy!
The Liber Hereticus €55 / $70
This 352-page hardback contains the full roster, rules, and background for all nine Traitor Legions, so you can wage war for the glory of the Ruinous Powers. It includes shared unit profiles, plus unique units for each Legion, as well as Warlord Traits, Rites of War, Wargear, Faction Abilities, and Unique Reactions. It is available in English, French, and German.
Legiones Astartes Special Weapons Upgrade Set €34 / $42
When a bolter and chainsword won’t do the business, the Tactical Squads of the Legiones Astartes turn to special weapons, forming Legion Tactical Support Squads. With six varieties to choose from in this comprehensive set of upgrades, no battlefield conundrum will go unanswered. This set contains 10 weapons each of six types – flamers, plasma guns, meltaguns, rotor cannons, volkite chargers, and volkite calivers.

It’s always great to upgrade your models, but with rules attached to them, you might need to pick this up to make your list as efficient as possible.
Legiones Astartes Heavy Weapons Upgrade Set (Missile Launchers and Heavy Bolters) €34 / $42
Sometimes you have to bring the really big guns, and that’s where this set of 10 missile launchers, 10 heavy bolters, and associated arms comes in. These are fully compatible with the Mk VI Tactical Squad, allowing you to build them into a Legion Heavy Support Squad to hammer away at hard targets.
Similar to the special weapons, these might prove to be an essential part of your Horus Heresy armies.
Kratos Heavy Assault Tank €100 / $125
Talking of hard targets, here’s the Kratos Heavy Assault Tank – a battlefield behemoth that’ll send your seven-foot sci-fi supersoldiers scampering for safety. It’s tough, fast, and positively bristling with arcane armaments, which you can customise to your dark heart’s content. There are three options for the turret gun, four apiece for the hull weapons and the sponsons, nine choices of pintle gun, plus dozer blades, searchlights, and gunners. Better yet, you can field this beast in squadrons of two.
New tanks are always exciting, especially when they might be pretty good if they cross over to 40k as well!
Deimos Pattern Rhino €37 / $47
This valiant chariot is based on one of the earliest tank designs ever created by Games Workshop, albeit with a vastly improved kit brought bang up to date for the 3rd Millennium. It’s the perfect way to ferry your footslogging Legion Tactical Squads between objectives.
This new rhino has some extra guns, but a mode of transport is also an essential part of any space marine list.
Mk III Tactical Squad (No Pricing: This May Be a Direct Order Only)
If Space Marines in Mk VI “Corvus” armour are simply too new-fangled for your tastes, these marines in Mk III “Iron” armour might just be sufficiently old-school. This is an existing set of plastic sculpts which has been repackaged for the new edition – but this time you get 20 highly detailed multipose Legiones Astartes in a single box.
These “knight” looking marines are sweet, so they are definitely worth consideration, even if you use them as proxies in 40k!
Mk IV Tactical Squad (No Pricing: This May Be a Direct Order Only)
The multipose plastic Mk IV Tactical Squad is also being rereleased for the glorious new edition of the Warhammer: Horus Heresy. Once again, you get 20 highly detailed Space Marines in “Maximus” armour ready to join your Legion and defend/conquer the Imperium of Man (delete as appropriate).
Sporting the more iconic 40k look, these might be better for those coming from 40k to try out Horus Heresy and want something more familiar.
Ahzek Ahriman €24 / $33.50
The Chief Librarian of the Thousand Sons Legion was one of the most powerful psykers in the galaxy at the time of the Horus Heresy. Previously only available in the out-of-print Burning of Prospero set, Ahriman’s plastic model is being released separately for the first time – so any Thousand Sons commander can get the drop on the enemy by manipulating fate and redeploying units at the last moment.
Old school (lore-wise) Ahriman looks sick, and might even make for some sweet 40k conversions too!
The Horus Heresy Legion Transfer Sheets (No Pricing: This May Be a Direct Order Only)
Make your new army your own with 18 separate transfer sheets – one for each Legion. Each of these contains more than 500 decals, including vehicle markings, script, and assorted infantry markings, tailored to your chosen side.
Transfer sheets are great because they are an easy way to personalize your entire force without too much of a monetary cost.
The Horus Heresy Legion Dice (No Pricing: This May Be a Direct Order Only)
Likewise, you can pledge yourself fully to your chosen Legion with one of 18 sets of themed dice. You get 20 six-sided dice in each set, in the colours of the corresponding Legion – one of which is a scatter dice. Each Legion has its emblem stamped on the 6 face.
Dice are also a great optional product, but even if you only play 40k, these legion themes are still applicable for you.
New Black Libary Horus Heresy Pre-Orders: Cthonia’s Reckoning €22 / $27
This anthology contains seven all-new short stories from some of the stalwarts of Black Library – Sons of Cthonia by John French, To the Last by Michael F Haspil, The Gangs Beneath by Gary Kloster, The Flesh Harvest by Nicholas Wolf, Traitor’s Faith by Noah Van Nguyen, For Hate’s Sake by Gav Thorpe, and Postulant by Chris Forrester. It’s the perfect complement to the game, going deeper into some of the setting’s key players and factions, and it’ll be available in four formats – hardback novel, eBook, MP3, and a luxury collector’s edition with a leather-effect cover.
Lupercal’s War (Paperback/eBook) €7 / $8
This hand-picked collection of 21 short stories is a whistle-stop introduction to the Horus Heresy. It’s perfect both for grizzled veterans and for people who are new to the setting, with tales from a series of Black Library luminaries. It’s available in paperback and eBook editions.
The Horus Heresy Bookmark €15.50 / $18.50
This luxuriant enamelled and metal bookmark has a gold antique finish depicting the iconography of the Sons of Horus. Running down it is the quote that kicked the whole Horus Heresy saga off.
Keep track of where you left off in style with this impressive stylized bookmark.
