Alright, fellow Horus Heresy enthusiasts, get ready to upgrade your Space Marine squads with some absolutely vicious melee weaponry because the long-awaited upgrade pack is finally dropping, and it’s every bit as deadly as the rumors suggested!
We’re talking about an insane selection of weapons, perfect for kitting out your veterans or turning a whole squad of Despoilers into a whirlwind of destruction. Swords, claws, lances—this pack has it all, and it’s designed to make your Marines the most dangerous close-combat specialists on the battlefield. Seriously, there’s enough here to make even Angron blush.
Let’s dive into what you’re getting inside this war chest of brutality:
Melee Madness:
- 10 Chainswords (classic, reliable, and great for shredding enemies)
- 2 Sheathed Chainswords (because style points matter)
- 2 Heavy Chainswords (think bigger, meaner, more brutal)
- 2 Charnabal Sabres (for a touch of elegance in your hacking and slashing)
- 2 Thunder Hammers (absolute wrecking balls in combat)
- 4 Power Swords (two drawn, two still in hand for that “ready for anything” vibe)
- 2 Power Lances (reach out and touch someone… hard)
- 4 Power Axes (get medieval on them with these bad boys)
- 4 Power Mauls (because sometimes you just need to bash stuff)
- 4 Power Fists (classic, crushing force)
- 4 Lightning Claw assemblies (turn those Power Fists into tearing claws of doom!)
But hey, don’t think this is just a close-combat pack. No, they’ve snuck in some ranged goodies too:
Ranged Weapons:
- 2 Augury Scanners (to detect and counter sneaky enemies)
- 2 Melta Bombs (for when you really want to ruin someone’s day)
- 2 Slung Boltguns (because you don’t always need to be swinging swords)
- 2 Hand Flamers (burn baby burn)
- 2 Plasma Pistols (for when you need to melt some armor)
- 4 Volkite Serpentas (because Volkite is always in style)
- 4 Phobos Bolt Pistols, 4 Umbra Bolt Pistols, and 4 Tigrus Bolt Pistols (all the different types of bolt pistols you could want for your tactical choices)
Customization Options:
And that’s not all! You’re also getting 8 hands, 10 heads, and 42 arms, so you can pose your Marines however you want. These bits are split across different styles, giving you a ton of customization potential. Want to show off that classic MkVI power armor? Done. But if you’re into MkIII Tactical Marines, no worries—these arms can be easily converted to fit them too!
Perfect for Building Assault Squads:
This pack is an absolute treasure trove for creating specialized assault squads or decking out a Veteran Squad with some seriously brutal wargear. There are enough weapons and customization options here to outfit dozens of veterans and make each one look unique. Plus, it’s a great complement to the other special and heavy weapon sets already out there for The Horus Heresy, so you can mix and match your gear to create your ultimate squad of death-dealers.
