GW: Wochenvorschau Horus Heresy und AoS

Am kommenden Samstag gibt es Verstärkungen für die Streitkräfte im Kampf um die Galaxie im Zeitalter der Horus Heresy und eine neue Bande für Warhammer Underworlds betritt das schattige Nethermaze.

Sunday Preview – Massed Reinforcements for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy

Loads of heavy hitters are coming to support your Legiones Astartes next weekend, including some of the miniatures that were only available in the Age of Darkness boxed set.

Brace yourselves for an onslaught of Space Marines.

Sicaran Battle Tank

One of the signature tanks of the Legiones Astartes, the Sicaran Battle Tank is swift and deadly – and will be available in plastic for the first time. Along with its eye-catching autocannon array, it comes with four different sets of sponson weapons and a choice of nine pintle-mounted guns, giving you the right tool for any job.

Spartan Assault Tank 

Get your elite warriors into battle in style and safety with the rumbling Spartan Assault Tank. This massive transport can carry a whopping 26 troops right into the heart of battle, and comes with a variety of weapon and cosmetic options.

Contemptor Dreadnought

The hulking Contemptor Dreadnought is an iconic unit for Space Marines in the Age of Darkness, and with good reason. This adaptable war machine can be armed to complement any playstyle – like to stand off and shoot? It can do that. Would you rather get up close and personal? No worries. Prefer a mix of both? The Contemptor has you covered.

The kit includes eight different guns and a pair of fists – and you’ll be able to pre-order the weapon frames separately, allowing you to double-up on the same weapon to assemble a specialist Dreadnought. One sprue contains an extra autocannon, bolt cannon, lascannon, and melta cannon, along with a spare fist and an extra pair of arms.

The other frame includes an extra conversion beam cannon, plasma cannon, kheres assault cannon, and volkite dual-culverin, plus a spare fist, chainfist blades, and loads of cosmetic bits.

Either way, you’ll have all sorts of bits left over to equip even more Dreadnoughts!

Leviathan Siege Dreadnought

If the Contemptor is somehow not big enough for you, the Leviathan has got you covered. The close-combat variant is already available, and now its ranged brother is coming to bring devastation to the battlefields of the Age of Darkness.

The Leviathan Siege Dreadnought with Ranged Weapons comes with three different arm-mounted guns for you to choose from – and the ranged weapons frame is also available separately. Grab a sprue for your ranged Leviathan to double-up on guns, or combine it with the close combat frame to build the versatile Leviathan of your dreams.

Cataphractii Terminator Squad

Cataphractii Terminators are the elite infantry of the Legiones Astartes. Widely used by all Legions, they’re effective in melee and at range, and their heavy armour shrugs off all but the most massive enemy weaponry. While these hefty warriors were first deployed in the Horus Heresy, they can also be used as Relic Terminators in games of Warhammer 40,000.

Tartaros Terminator Squad

More advanced than Cataphractii plate, Tartaros armour offers superior protection to power armour while sacrificing none of its mobility. Like their Cataphractii cousins, the Tartaros Terminators now come in boxes of 10, with a host of melee and ranged weapon options – and can also be fielded by Space Marines armies in the 41st Millennium.

Legion Praetors

The two Praetors found in the Age of Darkness boxed set are available separately for the first time. One’s brandishing a sword, the other wields an axe, and both include a helmeted and bare head option. The miniatures feature no Legion-specific markings, so you can easily field them in any force.

Liber Mechanicum: Forces of the Omnissiah Army Book

This is the first of the non-Astartes army books for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. Inside, you’ll find all the rules and profiles you need to field an army of mechanical monstrosities, from lowly cyborg thralls to mighty robots – as well as the towering engines of the Questoris Households and Titan Legions. If you’re collecting a Mechanicum army, or plan to start, you’ll need a copy of this essential tome. It will be available as both a hardback and eBook.

That’s a LOT of releases for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, but there are still more to come.

Hexbane’s Hunters

The newest warband for Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze belongs to the Order of Azyr, a shadowy organisation charged with purging evil across the Mortal Realms by any means necessary. Led by a witch-hunter, this aggressive warband uses faith and fast strikes (and a pair of dogs) to persecute their mission, and they grow stronger as their allies are picked off. Along with the miniatures, you’ll get a Rivals deck so you can get them on the tabletop straight away, plus universal cards which any warband can use.

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar ist unter anderem bei unseren Partnern Fantasy-In und Minyarts erhältlich.
