Games Workshop will be making a Melee Weapon Upgrade Set available for those wanting to slice and dice their way through The Horus Heresy. You'll be able to get the Legiones Astartes set packed with close-combat weapons soon.

Ranged Weapons & Heads // Warhammer: The Horus Heresy

I really like the detail in the heads you get for The Horus Heresy Space Marines. I think they are a little more dynamic than the regular Warhammer 40,000 ones and come with a bit more personality too.

Are you going to be snapping up this set? As with a lot of The Horus Heresy range, it is compatible with different armour types. It could also work with a few Primaris kits depending on what you picked out to use.

Will you be getting this set and do you play Warhammer: The Horus Heresy?
