Warhammer Horus Heresy: Legions News

"This will be a momentous fight."
– Lion El'Jonson, Primarch of the Dark Angels

The Dark Angels come as the first faction in the Angels of Caliban expansion. Take control of the First and claim glorious victory!

New faction: Dark Angels
As the prototype of what were to become the Legiones Astartes, they served both as the template for the more specialised Legions that were to come after them and a standard by which these successors would be measured. Unyielding, technologically capable, ruthless and expert warriors, the fear of the First Legion’s intervention led the Warmaster to ensure that when his treacherous plans came to fruition, the Dark Angels had been dispatched to the outer edges of the Imperium where they would be unable to interfere, at least for a time.

Dark Angels warlords
Three collectable Warlords lead The First as they set course to protect the Imperium:
● Nemiel: Brother-Redemptor of fierce loyalty to the Imperium. He had a constant rivalry with his cousin Zahariel.
● Corswain: A warrior of great renown among the Astartes for his unmatched swordmanship skills.
● Lion El'Jonson: Primarch of the Dark Angels. An expert and ruthless tactician who always plans one step ahead.

How to get Dark Angels cards
You can collect the Dark Angels cards in several ways:
● Each reward crate in the 'The Lion and The Wolf' event has at least 1 Dark Angels card.
● Dark Angels crates in the shop have at least 3 Dark Angels cards, 1 of them rare of better.
● A constructed deck in the shop, with Nemiel as warlord and an exclusive card back. Any duplicates you receive are converted into gems.
● Cards for sale with gems in the Daily Shop.
● VIP subscribers will find 1 guaranteed Dark Angels card in their Daily Mission crate during the 'The Lion and The Wolf' event.



New event: 'The Lion and The Wolf'
The first event of the Angels of Caliban expansion introduces the Dark Angels during the time of the Great Crusade. The Dark Angels were dispatched to aid the Space Wolves in the Dulan campaign. At the end of the campaign, brotherly rivalry came to arms after the sight of Leman's prey being slain by the Lion started a dispute among the two primarchs.

The Dark Angels are now live. Take control of the First Legion and conquer the battlefield!

"You should stand down now, brother."
– Lion El'Jonson, Primarch of the Dark Angels

Get ready to bring judgement to your enemies!

Due to an error in the latest patch, the event decks used by the reinforcement warlords (Hibou Khan & Kyriss) were not similar in PC and in other platforms. A patch has now gone live fixing this discrepancy, so players on PC may see their event decks have changed if they were in the middle of an event run with one of these warlords.

Apologies for the incovenience!

"For Caliban and the Emperor!"
– Lion El'Jonson

The Dark Angels are about to arrive to The Horus Heresy: Legions! Read on to learn about them and which other new factions will be part of the ‘Angels of Caliban’ expansion, starting on October 23rd!

The Dark Angels
The Dark Angels were the first of the Emperor’s Legions, and one of the most powerful and independent Legions at the time of the Horus Heresy. Remorseless and ruthlessly efficient, they made no compromises in the pursuit of their assigned duty.

The Warmaster’s machinations saw the First Legion sent out beyond the borders of the Imperium, where little news would reach them of his impending rebellion, and from where they wouldn’t be able to return on time to stop his advance on Terra.

Rumours of Horus’ betrayal eventually reached Lion El’Jonson, Primarch of the Dark Angels, who immediately brought back the full might of his Legion to fight in defence of the Imperium.

The Dark Angels will be released on October 23rd, as the first new faction in the Angels of Caliban expansion!

Defenders of Caliban
The First Legion discovered their primarch, Lion El’Jonson, in Caliban, a cruel and densely forested planet where foul monstrosities had long stalked the dwindling human population.

The young Lion El’Jonson was raised by Luther, a champion among the knights of the secretive Orders of Caliban. Together they would lead a crusade to rid Caliban of its curse and unite the Knightly Orders, though its aftermath would see Lion El’Jonson receive all the battle honours, leaving a wound in the pride of his mentor that would fester in the years to follow.

Things would come to a head during the compliance of Sarosh, after which Luther and a cadre of Dark Angels were sent back to Caliban, exiled and ordered to look after training and recruitment duties.

Resentful at being cast out of the Great Crusade, and disgruntled by the changes brought about by the Imperium to their home planet, the seed of dissent would soon spread among the wardens of Caliban.

The Defenders of Caliban will form the second faction of the Angels of Caliban expansion. They will arrive, shrouded in secrets, on November 6th.

Knight Households
Among the most fearsome war machines of the Imperium are the Knights, towering armoured figures piloted by nobles hailing from the ancient feudal Knight Worlds.

Each Knight Household followed its own traditions and strict hierarchy. Most were allied with a Forge World,and would walk to war alongside their Titan Legions in return for the advanced technology and knowledge that only the magos of the Mechanicum could provide.

The Knight Households will become a faction in the game, introducing exciting new mechanics to let you pilot these formidable machines of war. Get ready for their release on November 20th!

Neutral cards
As always, the expansion will conclude with 20 new neutral cards from Imperial Army, Mechanicum and Chaos, which will be released on December 4th.
