The new Saturnine box drops this week, and many of us panicked about forgotten units.
However, Games Workshop confirmed a massive Legacies of the Age of Darkness PDF that lands right after launch. This free download holds datasheets for almost every resin oddity, Forge World exclusive, and wild conversion we have collected over ten years. Therefore you can still unleash Tartaros Siege Terminators, jump‑pack Destroyers, and bike‑mounted Champions without house rules.
Why Liber Books Omit Them
Liber books reflect the current plastic lineup, so new players see clean lists that match the sprues. Even so, the designers always viewed Horus Heresy as a narrative game. Consequently they parked the deeper catalogue in a digital file instead of deleting it. Legacy units will count as official rules at Warhammer events, although individual TOs may still veto them.
What the PDF Covers
The article lists page after page of goodies. Every Legion gets at least one returning star. For example, Iron Warriors regain Iron Havocs while Emperor’s Children reclaim Sun Killer Squads. Universal entries like Castra Ferrum Dreadnoughts, Land Raider Achilles, and Thunderhawk Transporters appear as well. Mechanicum fans see Explorators and Termite drills. Solar Auxilia commanders keep their Marauder Bombers, Minotaurs, and Baneblades. Even fortifications like Void Shield Generators survive.
A Few Models Stay Retired
Named characters with no sculpt remain absent, and a handful of archaic profiles are gone because newer versions replace them. Yet you can still run those conversions by counting them as their closest modern analogue.
Games Workshop hints that some listed units will return in plastic. When that happens the legacy entry will vanish and a fresh datasheet will appear in a new publication. Therefore the cycle of updates continues, keeping the range modern while honouring history.
More Digital Drops Incoming
Beyond Legacies, we are promised free PDFs for Talons of the Emperor, Blackshields, Inductii, and Ruinstorm Daemons over the next few months. Thus every niche force stays viable.
Final Word
Collectors can relax. Your whole collection marches into the new edition intact. Build your lists, print that PDF, and prepare to drop right back into the Age of Darkness with everything from Veteran Breachers to Shadowswords. Legacy truly lives.
