Like a thief in the night Forge World put out a FAQ at some point this month, that many of us may have missed! Come see the new changes to Horus Heresy!
They did it to us back in January, and they may have just got us again with a “stealth” FAQ that looks to bring units from the black Horus Heresy tomes in line the new Army list or “Red Books” that released/ing.

Tons of errata for the existing Crusade Army list are in here, with the upcoming Age of Darkness army red book on the way for a rumored release this summer. Dreadnoughts got a bit of a bump attack wise, and the Castellax saw a few tweeks as well to their rules. Checkout the ten page PDF at the link below and get the skinny on all the changes.
Current Legiones Red Book, and Unreleased Age of Darkness (Right)
Changes From January:
Looks like they are updating a few things, Lorgar in particular got some clarifications.
There’s some interesting stuff that replaces entries in the crusade army list book (CAL), and adds new “show exclusive” units in there as well. Checkout the section on Terminators and the Cybernetica update from the Thagmata army list book.
Aspiring Knight Scions got the dorsal weapons upgrade ability from the new plastic kit too which is neat.
Oh and if you catch folks trying to game the system with the Nanite pistol, checkout the last entry of the FAQ: Relics of the Dark Age of Technology Clarification (HH4 – page 222)
Overall Games in the Age of Darkness never looked so good!
