eBook’s For The Horus Heresy & Forge World Pre-Orders Soon
August 1, 2022 by brennon
Games Workshop has just a few pre-orders lined up for this weekend. Alongside Forge World, they are going to be adding some new bits and bobs into the mix for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and there will also be some eBook versions of the rules.
Liber Astartes & Hereticus eBooks // Warhammer: The Horus Heresy
Shop Warhammer: The Horus Heresy @ Store.OnTableTop
So, rather than carrying around another massive tome, you can instead get the Liber Astartes and Liber Hereticus in eBook/EPub form so that you can get all of your statlines and such on your tablet. Included within, you'll find all the content you need for crafting armies of Loyalists and Heretics.
A grand idea and one I wouldn't have thought Games Workshop would do. They stepped away from doing a lot of digital content a few years ago but it's neat to see this returning. The Core Rules for The Horus Heresy are already available digitally so it makes sense to slot the rest of the written content in.
New Bitz & Characters From Forge World
In addition to the new eBooks, there are also some new releases from the Forge World folk. A lot of the new MKIV Heads and Shoulder Pads are going to be made available to pre-order this weekend.
MKVI Heads // Warhammer: The Horus Heresy
MKIV Shoulder Pads // Warhammer: The Horus Heresy
As well as the options for the Dark Angels, there are also going to be options for The Emperor's Children and White Scars. So, if you support one of those Legions you should be able to pick up some fancy new bitz to help customise your force.
Last but not least, there is also a returning character that can be used to lead Dark Angels forces.
Marduk Sedras, Lord Of The Twenty-third Order // Warhammer: The Horus Heresy
If you want to add some "grim" to your grimdark then this fellow certainly fits the bill. Markus Sedras certainly ticks more 40K boxes than it does Horus Heresy ones but he will look great when leading your army against Heretics.
Marduk Sedras, Lord Of The Twenty-third Order Details // Warhammer: The Horus Heresy
Having served The Emperor for two and a half centuries, he has seen much and conquered many. He also carries his named sword, the Death Of Worlds which is forged from the fragments of hive arcologies that he has razed. Sounds more like a Heretic to me...
Are you going to be diving in and snapping up some more Horus Heresy releases?

That looks really good. For the Lion!
Re: MKVI Heads
That one in the top right looks a lot like Aragorn form that movies ring thing 😉
I think it is 100% a copy of King Arthur (Nigel Terry) in the 1981 film Exclibur it is either that or a young gerry 🙂
That was my first thought as well
Now that you mention Excalibur, yupp you’re right.
Yup he does look like Nigel Terry that played King Arthur.
Agree he’s a 40k mini masquerading as 30k. He’s a bit too fancy for my Heresy but a nice nasty mini.
Nice minis, but maybe FW and GW should focus on being able to provide product first: 3 months, no Deimos Rhino, doors availability from FW spotty at best, forget about ordering skimmers or jet bikes.
Frankly, Heresy has been a disaster.
Marduk looks great even if his sword looks a bit funny with that stuff at the front/tip or is that the sword sheath?
fabulous additions to add to your marine forces to mark them out in games.
Why these digital versions of the army lists could not be available at the launch a few weeks back is best known to GW. If one were cynical one might think that GW want to shift hardcopies knowing that those who really wanted digital copies would buy them twice.
The books are really nicely done and good on a shelf don’t get me wrong. But as they are only stopgaps its unnecessary paper so having the option to get digital copies at the outset would have been better.
