The grim darkness of the Mechanicum is expanding further with the Rise of the Dark Mechanicum, a brand-new campaign book for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis. Following on the heels of the recently revealed Mechanicum miniatures, this new release delves deep into the shadowy world of the Dark Mechanicum during the Horus Heresy.
The Schism of Mars takes center stage, with army lists for both the Mechanicum Taghmata and the Dark Mechanicum, as well as dedicated Formations for Collegia Titanica and Questoris Familia armies. But the real star of the show is the Serperos ‘Overlord’ Heavy Stalker, a terrifying war machine featured on the cover, designed for breaking sieges and wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
The Serperos is a towering engine of destruction, armed with brutal weapons like the aether-powered exo-planar bombard, capable of turning infantry and vehicles into molten slag, and the storm laser array, perfect for stripping away void shields. Some variants are outfitted with deadly lascutters or even radiation weapons, adding to the terror of the Dark Mechanicum’s arsenal.
This book also introduces a new Escalation Campaign, including the Doom of Magma City, where battles culminate in an epic Grand Clash. The Rise of the Dark Mechanicum promises to unveil more horrifying engines and dark technology developed during the Heresy.
Stay tuned for more previews, as the veil over the Dark Mechanicum continues to be lifted! For now, you can head back to the Warhammer Day Preview hub to catch the rest of today’s exciting reveals.
