Following the success of the massive relaunch with the Shadow of the Warmaster expansion, Everguild is building momentum with a major content update focusing on the tragic events of the Isstvan V massacre during the Horus Heresy.

The Dropsite Massacre expansion presents over 150 new cards and introduces the three loyalist Legions – Iron Hands, Salamanders, and Raven Guard. These legions rallied against the traitors following Horus’ rebellion, leading the first significant offensive. The Iron Hands will be available at launch, with the Salamanders and Raven Guard joining the fray in bi-weekly releases on August 4th and 18th, respectively. Further content featuring new neutral cards focused on the Traitor Auxilia and Mechanicum forces will be unveiled on September 1st.

Each Legion in the Dropsite Massacre provides a unique gameplay experience. Players will see familiar characters, but all armies have been completely reimagined with new cards, characters, meticulously crafted artwork, and exciting new mechanics. This revamp is set to bring a fresh strategic layer to Horus Heresy: Legions.

The Isstvan V massacre was a defining event during the Horus Heresy. The Iron Hands, Salamanders, and Raven Guard legions sought to halt Horus’ malevolent forces before they could engulf the galaxy. However, their resistance met a grim fate on the desolate world of Isstvan V. Players can now witness the critical events that shaped these loyalist Legions’ destinies and engage in intense battles leveraging their unique play styles and powerful abilities.

Everguild invites players to prepare for an epic clash and delve deeper into the history of the Horus Heresy with the Dropsite Massacre expansion for Warhammer The Horus Heresy: Legions.

Warhammer The Horus Heresy: Legions is available for download on Steam, Apple’s App Store, and Google Play. More information about the game and the upcoming expansion can be found on the game’s official website, www.horusheresylegions.com.

Kill Team: Ashes of Faith

The first of the new releases, Kill Team: Ashes of Faith, introduces an expansion for Kill Team with a narrative twist. The game portrays a race against time as the Inquisition seeks to eliminate a growing Chaos Cult before it consumes an entire planet or sector.

Included in this box are two full Kill Teams, consisting of 23 miniatures for the Chaos Cult – including the Dark Commune and numerous Chaos Cultists – and seven new models for the Inquisitorial Agents Kill Team. The latter offers multiple build options for figures such as an Interrogator, Questkeeper, Death World Veteran, Gun Servitor, and more. Additionally, five Tempestus Scions and five Sisters of Silence are included for Ancillary Support.

The Kill Team: Ashes of Faith box also contains a 72-page book detailing the rules and background for both Kill Teams, as well as a 40-page Ashes of Faith Campaign Rulebook that provides comprehensive narrative campaign rules. Accompanied by tokens, tiles, cards, reusable stickers, and a game board, players can experience a tense shadow war between these rival factions.

Classic Space Marine Miniatures Return

In addition, Games Workshop is reviving past characters, including the Primaris Company Champion, on a made-to-order basis. This figure, previously an event-exclusive miniature, is now more widely available for a limited time. Various classic Space Marine miniatures are also available for order until May 29th.

The Siege of Cthonia: A Horus Heresy Narrative

Simultaneously, Games Workshop is introducing the first campaign book for the new edition of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Campaigns of The Age of Darkness: The Siege of Cthonia. The 240-page narrative supplement details the history and key missions of the Siege of Cthonia. This epic conflict saw the Sons of Horus attempt to reclaim their homeworld from an entrenched Loyalist garrison of Imperial fists.

The book also introduces full rules for playing games of Zone Mortalis, a new campaign system, fresh core and narrative missions, and more. For those preferring digital format, The Siege of Cthonia is also available to pre-order in ePub format.

New Warhammer 40,000 Figures

A collection of new Warhammer 40,000 figures is also available for pre-order. This includes Lord-castellan Evander Garrius, known as the Tyrant of Cthonia, and Vheren Ashurhaddon, Master of the True Sons. Other new additions include the Infernus Abomination, an inhuman living weapon, and the Despoiler Squad Upgrade Set for Legion Tactical Squads.

Several new Contemptor Dreadnought Upgrade Sets are also available for pre-order, including Ultramarines, Thousand Sons, Word Bearers, Salamanders, Raven Guard, and Alpha Legion torsos.

Black Library Warhammer 40,000 eShorts Week Subscription

Lastly, Games Workshop has announced the Black Library Warhammer 40,000 eShort Week subscription. Starting from May 22nd, subscribers will receive a story a day until May 26th. Single stories can also be purchased individually.

Among the exciting lineup of stories are Altar of Maws by Peter Fehervari, A Forbidden Meal by Carrie Harris, The Dust That Remains by J H Archer, The Whispering Blade by Matthew Harffy, and Stealing Orpheon by Richard Ford.

Games Workshop Previews Esoterist Consul for The Horus Heresy https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/games-workshop-previews-esoterist-consul-for-the-horus-heresy/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/games-workshop-previews-esoterist-consul-for-the-horus-heresy/#respond Fri, 03 Feb 2023 09:15:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=4398 Horus wasn’t the only one at the time to turn heretic. He had others with him. And soon, they can join him on the battlefields of The Horus Heresy as Games Workshop shows off the Esoteris Consul.

From the article:

Horus’ fateful encounter with the Ruinous Powers at the Serpent Lodge on Davin turned the Warmaster traitor, but he wasn’t the only member of the Legiones Astartes to dabble with the darker forces underpinning the galaxy.

With the Heresy in full swing, the Traitor Legions are free to explore the forbidden arts anew – and the Esoterist Consul steps out from the shadows.

No matter how fiercely the Emperor suppressed the Primordial Truth, there were always those willing to explore the Immaterium’s secrets – whether to ward off its eldritch denizens, or harness their unnatural power. 

The Traitors quickly embraced these mind-expanding secrets, spread by robed conjurers through the rituals of the Warrior Lodges – but as the Heresy progressed, even Loyalist psykers drank deep from wells of outlawed knowledge. Desperate to overcome the Warmaster’s strange new powers, gifted lore-seekers and ex-Librarians defied the Edicts of Nikaea – with or without the blessings of their Primarchs.

From the website:

Here, whole worlds can be laid waste at the stroke of a pen and riches beyond your wildest dreams can be bestowed for nothing more than a promise of support.

The Great Game: Houses of the Landsraad is a complete 128-page supplement for Dune – Adventures in the Imperium that expands your campaign away from Arrakis into the vast and deadly Imperium. It offers the opportunity for your House to vie for power among its peers. Politic with your rivals, bring power and wealth to your House, and challenge your position among the most deadly powerbrokers of the Landsraad.

The Imperium is waiting for you, and your House, to take your place among the powers of the Landsraad. Will it be only a step from the throne or under the heel of your enemies?

Angron Cannot Be Banished: Uncover the Reason in New Codex World Eaters Lore https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/angron-cannot-be-banished-uncover-the-reason-in-new-codex-world-eaters-lore/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/angron-cannot-be-banished-uncover-the-reason-in-new-codex-world-eaters-lore/#respond Tue, 24 Jan 2023 13:34:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=3925 A new lore article from the Codex: World Eaters reveals why Angron, the Primarch of the World Eaters Legion, cannot be banished. The article explains that Angron is bound to the Warp by a powerful ritual known as the Butcher’s Nails, which were implanted into his body by the Dark Mechanicum. This ritual has caused Angron to become a daemon prince, and he is now unable to leave the Warp. The article also provides insight into the history of the World Eaters and their descent into madness.
