Forge World Horus Heresy MTO upgrades, ePub rulebooks, and the Warcry Heart of Ghur Starter are this week’s pre-orders!
Games Workshop just let us in on all the new Forge World MTO and Horus Heresy releases that will be going up for pre-order this coming Saturday at 1 PM Eastern time here in the states.
UPDATE: A previous version of this post indicated that Marduk Sedras may be plastic based on his initial teaser from GW when they had not revealed the HH characters would be rebranded Forge World resin.
Traitor Legiones & Loyalist Legiones Astartes Army Books- ePub:
Whether you fight to protect the Throneworld of Terra or you side with the Warmaster, you’ll need a book – or, er, a Liber – full of rules covering the forces and wargear of the each of the 18 Legiones Astartes. You can now get these 300-page plus rulebooks as an ePub, so you can access your rules on the go.
In a move that might make 40k and AoS players quite mad, GW is releasing these as PDFs/e-books and not tied to the Warhammer APP. Pretty wild, and just really bad optics yet again from Games Workshop.
Dark Angels Horus Heresy Upgrades
With nine regular helmets in a mix of three Calibanite styles – plus a winged Sergeant helmet, and a bare head with a snazzy beard and noble diadem – this pack of 11 heads is a great way to personalize your troops in Mark VI armour.
These are actually some pretty cool heads! Just remember, these are going to be resin, not plastic.
Also coming soon is a set of Mark VI shoulder pads for Dark Angels. The embossed Legion symbol on these pauldrons is perfect for ensuring your fully-painted sons of the Lion stand out in the heat of battle. Now they can proudly stand beside Madruk Sedras and his massive sword.
Nothing too insane, but if you really want to show off that legion pride, then these are going to be right up your alley!
Marduk Sedras:
Sedras is one of the Dreadwing – a corps dedicated to the total annihilation of enemies, cultures, and even planets with terrifying weaponry – and one of the oldest Space Marines alive. He is a veteran of the Unification Wars who fought in the presence of the Emperor Himself and inspires excellence in all Dark Angels who march under his banner.
This is a really cool model lore-wise, and you actually get to play with a model that fought in the presence of the Emperor! This is a pretty sweet little addition to the line.
Emperor’s Children Horus Heresy Forge World Upgrades – MTO
These resin shoulder pads will make your miniatures look great – and the sculpted Legion icon is a doddle to paint – and perfectly complement the elegant iconography found on the Emperor’s Children transfer sheet, for those who want to add even more Legion markings.
Heading straight to sale on the 6th of August are some classic pauldrons and torsos in various armour marks for the Emperor’s Children and the White Scars Legions.
With these being MTO, it will take a while actually to get yours, but it means they are guaranteed. Plus, they are really cool and will make your army stand out!
White Scars Horus Heresy Upgrades- MTO
Add some flavour to your Tactical Squads and make Sergeants stand out with MKII and MKIII shoulder pads and MKIV torsos for the Third Legion – and ensure your White Scars are not only laughing but looking good on the battlefield with unique MKII torsos and MKIV shoulder pads.
All five sets will be available via Made to Order from 10 am local time on Saturday the 6th of August 2022 until 8 am BST globally on Monday the 15th of August, so don’t miss out.
As you can see, these will be available to order for one week, so if you want anything above, set your calendar and grab those upgrades!

Everyone’s favourite game of brutal skirmish combat in the Mortal Realms ramps up the carnage with Warcry: Heart of Ghur. This is a new and revamped edition, and has a two-week pre-order window. The boxed contains two incredible new warbands – all set to battle across rope bridges and bamboo barricades between the carnivorous trees of the Gnarlwood, with the help of some tasty new rules.
Two-week pre-order window! meaning we won’t see this actually release until we are into August.
Straight from the festering fens to the north of the Gnarlwood, the Rotmire Creed head to the Ravening Ruin of Talaxis to hunt for the ingredients for their elixir of immortality. The industrious Horns of Hashut, on the other hand, bring the flame and fury of their dark god to Ghur. looking to level its lush greenery to make way for their forge fires.
Both of the new warbands look great with unique designs and characters.
The Nurgle-like swamp men face off against the noticeably better-equipped Horns of Hashut, but can they still win? Probably!
Heart of Ghur contains 20 finely detailed plastic miniatures, along with 18 pieces of new Gnarlwood-themed scenery, and a double-sided game board, as well as all the cards, tokens, dice, and accessories you need to play.
The new Ghur terrain will be perfect for AoS and Warcry alike in the realm of beasts.
Warcry: Heart of Ghur Combat Gauge
When you pre-order Heart of Ghur directly from Games Workshop, you will also score a superb metallic combat gauge with iconic Warcry styling. Each combat gauge is presented in a commemorative box with a magnetic lid and is only available while stocks last, so make sure you act fast.
To provide a bonus to pre-ordering through GW, you’ll also get this exclusive new Combat Gauge.
