There’s lots to choose from in next week’s Games Workshop Pre-Orders for those that enjoy the Age of Darkness. There’s multiple new releases for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy as well as Legions Imperialis. See what you’ll be able to get below!
Shadrak Meduson, Master of the Shattered Legions survived the Drop Site Massacre and gathered what remained of his comrades to escape and fight another day. He, and his Shattered Legions, plagued the Warmaster’s forces.
Hibou Khan, Seeker of Atonement wasn’t happy with his Legion standing on the side of the Emperor and plotted to forcibly side with Horus’ Legion. Hibou Khan was eventually humbled and given the chance to atone by upping the body count of traitor’s with his two-handed power sword, Breath of the Storm.
Tybalt Marr, Captain of the 18th Company was tasked with hunting down Shadrak Meduson. He slew many members of the Shattered Legions with his weapon, the Culling Blade.
‘Little’ Horus Aximand, Captain of the 5th Company was one of the Warmaster’s most devout Captains. Aximand has a knack for surviving terrible sounds and can out-duel all but the most skilled opponent with his powered broadsword Mourn-it-all.
