Horus Heresy Starter Set

-2 Generic Legio Astartes Armies
-20x Tactical Marines (2 Sprues)
-5x Cataphractii Terminators (1 Spure)

-Transfer Sheet with Symbols of 3 Loyal and 3 Traitor Legions
-Suppliment includes a summary of the great crusade with important events and timeline
-Description of the Legions from the Decal Sheet with small history of them

OK, that’s yet another source saying something very close regarding the HH Starter set. Putting together everything from the last couple weeks from all reliable sources we come up with this:

Horus Heresy Starter Set

2 Identical “Generic Legion” Sides.

EACH SIDE consists of:

-20x Tactical Marines (2 Sprues, There are a handful of Tactical bits on the sprue for Sergeants & other specialists, but not entirely different specialist models.)
-5x Cataphractii Terminators (1 Spure)
-1x Contemptor Dreadnought (1 Sprue)
-1x Legio Centurion/Praetor (with bits for various Consul options, 1 Sprue)

Other Items in the Box:

-Transfer Sheet with Symbols of 3 Loyal and 3 Traitor Legions
-Suppliment includes a summary of the great crusade with important events and timeline
-Description of the Legions from the Decal Sheet with small history of them

-Gaming Set Includes a Suppliment for the Age of Darkness
-Rules and a Dettachment for Playing Legio Astartes and Xenos in the Past of 40k
-A new Allied Matrix including Xenos of the 31st Millenium
-Very generic Dataslates for the models, only the featured Characters will have specific Background, but can used for any Legion

-Models are designed to fully compatible with Forgeworld’s Legion add-on kits.

Price:

Said to be north of £130.00

So that’s 54 Heresy models, including 2 Contemptors, 10 Cataphractii, and 40 dudes, plus command figures. Even if this cost £200.00 it would still be a big savings from the standard Forgeworld prices, and is in totally reliable and easy to assemble plastic. It will be very interesting to see just how high GW sets that price. This has all the hallmarks of a grand experiment!
