Warhammer Horus Heresy: Legions News

"You must taste the ashes of defeat."
– Lorgar

A small patch has gone live modifying Mandragorax in the current event to remove Overload and Shield. Players in the middle of an event run with Mandragorax will not be affected, but new event runs will only offer the new version of this warlord.

This patch also fixes a few other issues:
- Change Raum's Initiative to Medium. Due to a bug, Raum is currently using the same Initiative as Argel Tal, so it will be changed to Medium on Raum's card to avoid the confusion. It may go back to High after the next update, depending on its performance in ranked play.
- Fix custom intro between Kharn and Argel Tal.
- Fix the trait descriptions of Lorgar and the Daemonhost traits.
- Fix Chaos Mechadendrite so that it cannot target Astartes/Daemon troops.

The massacre continues!

The Horus Heresy: Legions begins its fourth major content expansion, The Battle of Calth. The Word Bearers march to battle first. Are you ready to become a weapon of the Ruinous Powers?

New Legion: Word Bearers
Imbued by unshakeable faith in the Ruinous Powers, the XVII Legion has desecrated the Emperor's great design and allowed Daemons to possess their Space Marines. As they march for Calth, millions of fanatic cultists follow them to die fighting for their masters in battle or to become sacrifices for their unholy rituals.

Three collectable Warlords lead the masses of believers and warriors against the forces of the False Emperor:

● Argel Tal: Lord of the Gal Vorbak, and host of the Daemon Raum, who possessed him during his pilgrimage into the Eye of Terror. Embittered by the horrors of the warp, he nonetheless serves the holy purpose of the Chaos gods.
● Erebus: The self-proclaimed Hand of Destiny and architect of the Horus Heresy. A worshiper of Chaos whose power and dark knowledge has grown so large he can summon Daemons into realspace... if enough blood is spilled.
● Lorgar Aurelian: The Primarch of the XVII Legion believed the Emperor to be a god once, and was punished for it. Now he comes back, transfigured by the Primordial Truth and gifted by the Ruinous Powers with a new faith.

New Trait: Daemonhost
Troops bearing this trait receive a random buff out of a selection of five and add 'Daemon' to their unit type, becoming a hybrid troop– for better and for worse. Daemonhost buffs stack just like Marks of Chaos but, after receiving all five, your unit will get a unique 6th buff that makes it stronger with every further Daemonhost stack.

How to Get Word Bearers Cards
You can collect the XVII Legion's cards in several ways:
● Each reward crate in the 'The First Heretic' event has at least 1 Word Bearers card.
● Word Bearers crates in the shop have at least 3 Word Bearers cards, 1 of them rare of better.
● A constructed deck in the shop, with Argel Tal as warlord and an exclusive card back. Any duplicates you receive are converted into gems.
● Cards for sale with gems in the Daily Shop.



The Word Bearers are now live. May the Primordial Truth reign supreme!

This update prepares the ground for the Battle of Calth expansion, and brings numerous improvements and fixes:
● Prepare for the arrival of the fanatical Word Bearers, forever corrupted by Chaos after their Pilgrimage to the Eye of Terror.
● Revamped Events menu, with shiny new animations.
● New game icon: a Diabolist from the Word Bearers takes over!
● Tapping over the opponent's deck or hand will now show her card back more prominently.
● Updated Cleave icon, to better differentiate it from the Psyker icon.
● Updated Sacrifice icon, which is no longer a Salamanders-only trait.
● Improved voiceover for Kharn, better aligned with his alternate-art version.
● Nicer view of warlord chats in Collection, and now also in the Daily Shop.
● Fixed bug in Shabran Darr's passive ability sometimes not triggering at the end of a match.

"Bearers of the word, stand ready."
