Heresy fans, checkout the latest details on the new Legiones Astartes Red Book that looks to be BIGGER and better than before. Plus it’s headed our way soon
Source: Forge World
The Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List collects together all of the units available to any Space Marine Legion – and this collector’s edition looks amazing!
- the legion crusade army list is being updated into the ‘age of darkness army list’ book due out july/august time. name change is because the army list represents the legions during the heresy due to the amount of units that only start appearing during the heresy.
- the updates to the AoD list will be larger than previous red books, as the core army list as presented in betrayal was originally written for 5th edition, so is now two editions behind, and FW have taken their time with this one to re-address certain in balances and other issues.
- the AOD legion book will have a limited edition black version. (above)
- the next four legions to get dice sets are: night lords, iron warriors, world eaters, and word bearers.
A solid release either way for Heresy fans, that I am sure will be worth the wait!
