Horus Heresy

The Imperium stretches across countless worlds, a newborn empire on the brink of ultimate victory. Yet at the peak of this golden age of conquest, the galaxy has been plunged into an Age of Darkness. Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of the Emperor's armies, has turned against his gene-father – and the eighteen Space Marine Legions, once united in a Great Crusade to consolidate all humanity beneath the Em…

The Deredeo Dreadnought is a walking heavy weapons platform, designed to combine superior firepower with the flexibility and durability of a Dreadnought chassis. Though highly resource-intensive to produce and maintain, its undoubted survivability and killing power ensures the Deredeo is in high demand by Traitor and Loyalist Legions alike from the few Forge Worlds able to fashion them. This multi…

Assault Squads are the rapid attack infantry of the Space Marine Legions. Armed with wargear optimised for close-quarter fighting and hit-and-run tactics, equipped with jump packs that allow them to soar quickly across the battlefield, these squads strike at vulnerable targets or impact the enemy line with shocking force. These abilities make them a devastating tactical asset, as they leap past in…

Cerastus Knights are sophisticated and towering war-suits, with speed and agility that far exceeds the lumbering Questoris-class. The Knight Lancer is the most widely-known variant of the Cerastus chassis, held in high esteem by more impetuous House scions. Its protective ion gauntlet and potent shock lance are perfectly suited to duelling titanic foes face-to-face, and such pilots often race ahea…

Terminator suits are the ultimate in personal armour technology, gifted to the finest veteran forces of the Legiones Astartes. Squads clad in Terminator armour become devastating frontline assault units, able to withstand the heaviest enemy fire and deliver a ruthless hammer blow to crush their foes. Cataphractii suits are among the earliest designs of Terminator armour, and still the most heavily…

The Cerberus is a rare variant of the Spartan chassis that uses its massive hull to mount a prototype neutron laser projector, as well as the sizable arc-reactors and radiation shielding needed to operate the weapon. The neutron laser is poorly understood by the adepts of the Mechanicum, but stands among the most effective anti-tank weapons available to the Space Marine Legions, capable of punchin…

Perhaps the most advanced Dreadnought engine in the arsenal of the Great Crusade, the Contemptor Dreadnought fuses traditional technologies with arcane cybernetic lore. A powerful atomantic reactor fuels the Dreadnought's impressive speed and strength, while also supplying the defensive energy fields that further increase its battlefield durability. Equipped with a versatile armoury of weapons tha…

The Predator is perhaps the best known and most widespread variant of the basic Rhino chassis. Augmented with superior armour and firepower, it entirely sacrifices the Rhino’s troop transport capacity in favour of ammunition and generators for its formidable weapon systems. The result is an effective and versatile tank of the line, with an excellent balance of speed, firepower, and protection. The…

The Predator is perhaps the best known and most widespread variant of the basic Rhino chassis, equipped with superior armour protection and firepower, but sacrificing the Rhino’s troop transport capacity entirely. The Predator Support Tank is designed to field a wide variety of armament configurations, allowing it to excel in specific battlefield roles. This multipart plastic kit builds one Legion…

The Land Raider is regarded by many as the finest armoured fighting vehicle of its class in the Imperium’s arsenal, and is the mainstay battle tank of the Space Marine Legions. It is a phenomenally powerful war machine, its multi-layered composite armour and reinforced hull all but impervious to even heavy weapons, being a sealed unit designed to resist enemy attack from any approach. Intended to…

Heavily-armed and impressively armoured, the Leviathan Siege Dreadnought is an alternative development of the highly successful Contemptor design. These rare and mighty engines are prized by Astartes commanders, recognised as savagely powerful siege and hunter-killer units that can crush any opposition with a volley of devastating firepower. Yet such overwhelming strength comes at a cost – a Levia…

Tactical squads are the mainstay of the Space Marine Legions and the force by which the Great Crusade has reconquered much of the galaxy. By the fighting power of thousands of superhuman warriors such as these, armed and armoured for battle in the harshest of environments and the deadliest of war zones, the enemies of Mankind have been crushed repeatedly. The Legion Tactical squad is a highly flex…

Rugged and well-suited to high-intensity operations, the Scorpius missile tank is favoured across the Legiones Astartes as a source of manoeuvrable artillery support. Often collectively referred to as 'Whirlwinds', tanks mounted with multi-missile launcher systems are a vital part of any Legion's war machine, providing long-range covering fire and trench-breaking barrages. The Scorpius itself only…

The Sicaran is one of the most advanced armoured units in the arsenal of the Legiones Astartes, a fast-moving destroyer tank designed to outflank enemy formations before unleashing an overwhelming onslaught of mid-range firepower. Though its chassis supports a number of variants fielded throughout the Legions, the core Sicaran battle tank remains a versatile favourite. Armed with Herakles-pattern…

The Sicaran is among the most advanced of the armoured vehicles fielded by the Legiones Astartes, a fast-moving destroyer tank with a number of variants favoured throughout the Legions. The Sicaran Venator replaces the standard turret-mounted cannon with a powerful neutron laser that can slice through armoured hulls and blast internal compartments with atomic fire. Coupled with the Sicaran's feroc…

Terminator suits are the ultimate in personal armour technology, gifted to the finest veteran forces of the Legiones Astartes. Squads clad in Terminator armour become devastating frontline assault units, able to withstand the heaviest enemy fire and deliver a ruthless hammer blow to crush their foes. Tartaros armour is perhaps the most advanced form of Terminator suit ever designed – offering grea…

The Typhon is named for the ‘Great Beast’ of Terran myth, and lives up to its namesake in sheer brutal strength. Sharing a basic chassis with the Spartan Assault Tank, this heavy tank serves as a mobile gun-platform with enough power to operate a single massive piece of siege artillery – the dreadhammer cannon. The Typhon was created to meet the demands of the Primarch Perturabo of the Iron Warrio…

The Vindicator is a dedicated siege tank, deployed by the Legiones Astartes to breach enemy fortifications and destroy the heaviest enemy vehicles. Slow, ponderous, but heavily armoured, these tanks rumble into range before unleashing a devastating salvo of demolisher shells or piercing bursts of energy from a magna laser destroyer. Vindicators are especially useful in the confined terrain of citi…
