The Horus Heresy is getting some love this weekend on the pre-order side of the house from Games Workshop. Let’s see what’s available.
Games Workshop is calling in a big gun and the Legio custodes this weekend. If you’re a Horus Heresy fan then these are definitely for you.

Glaive Super-heavy Special Weapons Tank $210
This multipart plastic kit builds a Glaive Super-heavy Special Weapons Tank, an imposing machine for your Legiones Astartes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. Wielding the massive volkite carronade, a weapon capable of cutting swathes of enemies down with every shot, it’s a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. When combined with its heavy armour and auxiliary weapons, this tank is capable of turning the tide of any battle in your favour.
The Glaive can take either twin heavy flamers or twin heavy bolters as hull-mounted weapons, as well as lascannon arrays, laser destroyers, or Gravis heavy bolter arrays in the sponsons, giving you the tools to take on any enemy. The kit also includes parts to add an optional hunter-killer missile, smoke launchers, and a searchlight.
Legio Custodes Battle Group $255
Execute the will of the Emperor with this loaded box – it’s the perfect way to start a new Legio Custodes collection – or expand an existing army – and save money compared to buying the kits individually. With a core of Custodian Guard and Sentinel Guard, they are prepared for both violent offence and staunch defence. Led by a Shield Captain and supported by a Contemptor Dreadnought and a Caladius Annihilator Grav-tank, there is little that can stand in their way. This box is also the first place you’ll be able to get your hands on these new miniatures.
This box contains 15 plastic miniatures:
– 1 Shield Captain
– 1 Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought (which can alternatively be built as a Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought)
– 1 Caladius Annihilator Grav-tank
– 6 Custodian Guard Sodality miniatures
– 6 Sentinel Guard Sodality miniatures
This is a set of 20 six-sided dice with rounded edges for use in games of Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, Warhammer: The Old World, and other systems. They are cast in ivory-coloured acrylic plastic with black ink markings, and measure 12mm along each edge. The 1-5 facings are traditionally pipped, and each ‘6’ face is decorated with a grim skull icon.
