We also see rules changes throughout this section and we’ll touch on some of the bigger ones – Light skimmer vehicles such as the javelin and land speeder now have toughness and wounds rather than hull points, which makes them much better against low strength weaponry which could always get a lucky shot too against them. We also see a similar thing across the legion specific units too with only units with models still existing in this book (And again any options removed from the book should appear in the expanded list on the website – They stress the point that these units are still legal, I suspect the logic is that any model in this book should be available to purchase for players) Land Raiders – Land Raiders now have 2 profiles, the Proteus and the Proteus Explorator Sky Slayer Jetbikes – These have actually been folded into the standard Sky-Hunter profile, with standard squads now able to swap the main weapon on every jetbike rather than 1 in 3! ![]() Lightning Strike Fighters – These have gone, but again should be in the expanded list and arguably sit better in the Solar Auxilia Legion Land Speeders – Have been replaced with Proteus Land Speeders Mortis Contemptors – The rules and upgrades for these have been consolidated into the basic Contemptor profile, meaning you can take Dreads with this loadout in units of 3 nowĪssault Squads have actually been split into two different units, Despoiler Squads who do not have jump packs and Assault Squads who doĪttack Bikes – removed but will most likely be in the expanded army list, these are an old model who have never had a dedicated heresy counterpart to match the Outrider bikes Legion Dreadnoughts/Legion Mortis Dreadnoughts – completely removed from the Legion list, but will most likely be available in the Expanded army list on the website.Ĭortus Contemptors – The stripped down Contemptors are removed, but honestly I rather the single Contemptor profile to make identifying units easier as these never had a dedicated model From what I can see these removed units are either ones where profiles have been consolidated into exiting profiles to remove the amount of bloat, where models do not exist or need converting, or in rare cases where the models simply do not match the current Horus Heresy aesthetic – let’s have a quick look at those removed profiles: However, the book calls out that an expanded list covering these units will be free to download on the Games Workshop website – and most importantly will be fully “legal” for use in games, this certainly isn’t a situation where these units will not be usable in events for example. Let’s start with a point that has spooked some existing Horus Heresy players – yes some profiles have been removed from the book compared to the previous army list. The first 140 pages of both of these books are the same and cover the core Legiones Astartes army list, new unit types, rites of war, universal special rules and wargear. With the new 2nd edition of The Horus Heresy, Games Workshop have taken a different route and instead have released two different 340+ page hardback books – One for the Traitors and another for the Loyalists. While Forge World did release come consolidated volumes containing the core Astartes list and the Legion specific units, these too got later expanded upon across supplemental volumes. ![]() The rules for various Legiones Astartes in the first edition of the Horus Heresy sometimes needed a small library, with entries scattered across the various Black Books over the lifetime of the game.
