Loken (Alec Peters) here, reporting from Nottingham, England and the Horus Heresy Weekender. I’ve got tons of cool minis and news to report:
This is the massive Black Library/Forge World event all about the Horus Heresy. Authors, model makers and everyone involved in the crafting of the books, models and history of the Heresy are here.
I have been blogging live from the event all weekend and you can read the full pantheon of articles I have written on my blog, Apocalypse40K. But here are the highlights that any Horus Heresy fan needs to know.
First, are a couple of great models. The above Legion Tank is meant to be link between the Land Raider and Predator.
The Legion Kharybdis Assault Claw. It arrives like Drop Pod but can fly after it lands. It is heavily armed and has a new weapon called a Vortex Melta.
The Mechanicum castellax battle-automata of the LegioCybernetica. Unique armaments. Mauler pattern bolt cannon. Just shy of Contemptor Dreadnought strength-wise
The character everyone (Traitor and Loyalist) loves to hate: Erebus!
