Games Workshop just gave us an inside look into book VII of Horus Heresy: Inferno. Come take a look inside this massive 300 page tome.
This book has been one of the longest drawn out releases we have seen yet, and we recently got a first look at the cover for Inferno. But the wait is almost over, and now we’re getting a look inside the cover, finally.
Today, we get our first look inside of book seven of Forge World’s Horus Heresy supplements, based on the infamous battle for Prospero and its capital Tizca.
The book will follow the structure of the previous 6 instalments in the series. A large chunk of this over-300-page tome is given over to the narrative of the story: the events that lead to Magnus’ censure, and the battle for the City of Light itself.
As you’d expect, there are a lot of Space Wolves and Thousand Sons in the book, but they are not the only combatants. The Talons of the Emperor are also deployed in force (Legio Custodes and Sisters of Silence) and we also hear about some of the less well known forces, such as emissaries of the Warmaster, Mechanicus contingents and Solar Auxillia Regiments.
A lot of work has gone into depicting the city of Tizca itself. We have seen this location a few times before in the background of artwork (often as rubble…), but you really get a sense of the city thanks to some stunning landscape vistas and maps.
We all know how this story ends (in flame) but the fun is very much in the journey.
This book looks to be jam packed full of content, and it looks like you’re going to get your fill of Space Wolves and Thousand sons. As well as Legio Custodes, Sisters of Silence, emissaries of the Warmaster, Mechanicus contingents, and Solar Auxillia Regiments. In addition to the story line, there are also going to be over 100 pages of army lists, new units, Rites of War, missions, campaigns, and a handful of Primarchs.
Copies will be first available this weekend at the Horus Heresy Weekender, with a release date shortly after for everyone else.
Side Note: We will be covering the Horus Heresy Weekender so be sure to check back for the latest news on Inferno, we’ll be putting it out as soon as we get it.
