Warhammer Horus Heresy: Legions News

"Victory will be mine, one way or the other."
– Lucius

The battle for Nyrcon City escalates further as reinforcements from the Imperial Fists and Emperor's Children stream into the battlezone, led by veterans of their respective Legions. Will the Imperium be able to hold back the traitors?

Lucius and Justici Ghunfried join the battle for Nyrcon! Choose your side!

"The future can be changed."
– Sanguinius

The Blood Angels were a Legion known for their controlled ferocity on the field. However, this fury came from a mutation in their genes which risked turning them into maniac berserkers. Watching their battle-brothers fall in combat could trigger the urge to give in to their baser nature.

Get your hands on the legendary mission, Sons of Baal, and embrace the rage of the Red Angel!

"Patience is a weapon."
– Vettranio Shapura

The Legio Custodes return in the new force in the new balance patch. With upgraded gear and renewed purpose, the Emperor's true firstborn warriors are ready to defend the Imperium against any menace. This balance update also sees some changes to missions that felt unsatisfying to play.

"Breach their defences!"
– Fafnir Rann

Right before the Siege, Rogal Dorn attempted to block Horus' advance on the Beta-Garmon system. For that, he sent out a sizable detachment of Imperial Fists and Salamanders to engage the Emperor's Children and retake Nyrcon City.

Fafnir Rann will join the collection at the end of this event, with a different chat line depending on its outcome. Will you join the loyalist assault or become the bane of the Imperium?
