Games Workshop - Warhammer - The Horus Heresy - Age Of Darkness (Boxed Set)

Product Information

Each of these 10 model squads comes on two identical sprues that build 5 Marines with bolters and chain-bayonets, plus a small accessories sprue. The small sprue has weapon options for the Sergeant, a nuncio-vox and Vexilla, 10 regular bayonets and holstered boltpistols, plus a few other cosmetic choices like additional heads and equipment. Unlike the MkIII and MkIV models, lower and upper bodies are connected in fixed poses, similar to Primaris Marines, and the left hand is modelled onto the bolters. Contemptor Dreadnought

Plus Wrath of the Everchosen hits the Warhammer Vault alongside White Dwarf issues 358 and 359. This Week on Warhammer Community This isn’t true. There are so many heads, shoulders, and other extras available, that you’re unlikely to end up with two of the same figure. These are both one-stop shops for the Space Marines of each side, with rules for all the weapons and units available to the Legiones Astartes, as well as special abilities and unique units for nine full Legions each. The 5 man squads consist of 4 Terminators and 1 Terminator Sergeant. The Terminators are armed with a Combi-Bolter and a Power Fist which can be exchanged individually for a Heavy Flamer and a Chainfist respectively or collectively for two Lightning Claws.

The game follows campaigns in the war between 18 (of 20) first founding Space Marine legions. (The 2nd and 11th legions were expunged from existence before the onset of the Horus Heresy). 9 legions loyal to the emperor, and 9 legions following the Warmaster Horus Kitbashers and converters will also be able to go to town on these guys. Their builds are very simple and modular, which makes chopping and changing parts very easy. An Age of Darkness has descended upon the galaxy. Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of the Emperor’s armies, has turned against his gene-father and sent the Imperium spiralling into a bloody civil war. Out of the eighteen great Space Marine Legions, finest of all humanity’s soldiers, fully half have sided with the traitorous Warmaster, while the remainder stand staunchly loyal to the Emperor. It is a war of brother against brother, Space Marine against Space Marine, which has seen the might of the Imperium’s vast armies turned upon themselves in a cataclysm of fire and blood.

And Finally, there’s also the phenomenal Primarch series, which has just (finally) arrived on Games Workshop’s webstore from its old home on Forge World. Be aware they are all resin which may be an unfamiliar material for working with to those only versed in GW’s HIPS plastics. These models are something else, and will truly complete any Heresy-era army. Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Review – Final Thoughts Pros Talking of hard targets, here’s the Kratos Heavy Assault Tank – a battlefield behemoth that’ll send your seven-foot sci-fi supersoldiers scampering for safety. It’s tough, fast, and positively bristling with arcane armaments, which you can customise to your dark heart’s content. There are three options for the turret gun, four apiece for the hull weapons and the sponsons, nine choices of pintle gun, plus dozer blades, searchlights, and gunners. Better yet, you can field this beast in squadrons of two. There’s also a range of pintle-mounted combi-weapons, and more equipment than you can shake a mechandendrite at – including a frankly terrifying dozer blade. It will also have rules for use in Warhammer 40,000. Deimos Pattern Rhino Featuring a total of 60 special weapons of six different types – 10 each of flamers, plasma guns, meltaguns, rotor cannons, volkite charger, and volkite calivers, each with five slightly different designs – the Special Weapons Upgrade Set will give you plenty of options for turning your Mark VI Space Marines into Tactical Support Squads. Heavy Weapons Upgrade Set – Missile Launchers and Heavy Bolters There is a whole sprue just full of the different weapon loadouts. I believe keen gamers use drilled holes and magnets to allow weapon swapping after the build is complete. I have not done this. Tanks – A – Lot

If you go with some heavy/special weapons, you’ve got a wide range of choices, mostly depending on how you want to equip the rest of your box. As we work through the various units keep in mind that you’ll want to have a mix of anti-infantry, anti-elite, and anti-tank weapons, balanced a little towards anti-tank (in part because your basic bolter marines are already good anti-infantry, in part because you’re likely to run into a lot of spartans). That’s the first reason we’re looking at the guide. The second reason we’re taking a peek at it here is that it features an introductory army list. This is the first time GW have ever done something like this (as far as I know at least, and I’m happy to be corrected if mistaken). Likewise, you can pledge yourself fully to your chosen Legion with one of 18 sets of themed dice. You get 20 six-sided dice in each set, in the colours of the corresponding Legion – one of which is a scatter dice. Each Legion has its emblem stamped on the 6 face. In-store Swag We don’t tend to look at construction guides in any real detail in these articles, but today we’ve decided to make an exception. There are two reasons for this.
