It’s day two of the sixth Horus Heresy and Necromunda weekender and details are emerging about the new Horus Heresy Rules and Primarch models that will be on the way soon!
It looks like we’ll be getting not one but at least TWO new primarchs in the very near future from Forge World and a complete update to the red books as well as some legions will be changing starting with what looks to be a new name for book VIII: Malevolence.
Hobby Hero Garro is on the floor in Nottingham posting up a ton of great images from the event, including an awesome look at the Horus Heresy seminar:
Looks like tons of updates are on the way from this seminar for players of Horus Heresy including Daemons!

Rules for – Blood Angles, White Scars, Demons of the Ruinstorm, space Wolves and alpha legion.
Rules for Khan, Sanginius, Omegon and other characters.
Also civil war within the alpha legion and signups prime and Chandax among other things. Heaps of background story about BA and WS and the others also demons are very themed as stand alone but can still be use to represent the 4 power or minor powers kind of build your own demon list.
