Paragon of Excellence can be taken by anyone, and buffs WS in nearby units when they pass morale checks. Martyrs of Isstvan is the loyalist pick, and grants a +1 to hit in close combat against traitors to represent their hatred after the massacre. The Broken Mirror is traitor only and lets them brute force through morale tests by inflicting wounds on nearby friendly units. The IIIrd have three choices of warlord trait, one each of loyalist and traitor specific and one usable by anyone. Their advanced reaction, The Perfect Counter, lets Emperor’s Children units either pip charging units to the post by charging them first, or by laying down fire into them. This is a huge advantage in melee, and helps their armoured units keep enemies at bay as well. This is demonstrated by their Flawless Execution special rule that increases their initiative score, and for vehicles increases their chance of hitting as part of a reaction using their defensive weapons. Emperor’s Children Credit: Robert “TheChirurgeon” JonesĮveryone’s favourite perfectionists, the purple-clad elegant warriors of the III Legion focus on blistering speed and unwavering excellence in combat. We’ll be showing you each legion in more detail over the coming weeks in a series of Legion Focus articles, so today let’s just take a quick overview of the legions you’ll find here, introduce their particular flair and approach in the heresy, and chat about where they’ve ended up in this new edition and how they measure up to their brothers. The differences come when we get to the legions themselves, their special rules and their units. You can read about the shared legion units that are contained here in our upcoming article in the coming weeks because it’s shared exactly with the loyalists. This is a big book, but there’s very little background or lore in here – it’s pretty much all rules, with some lovely colour plates and photos to break it up. Though some of them are consumed by chaos very quickly, others fight more or less as they had done for centuries before the heresy, and their corruption is subtle, slow or even almost entirely absent until after the failure of the siege of Terra. In the enormous galactic conflict that erupts after Horus declares his rebellion half the Space Marine legions declare for the warmaster, focused on overthrowing the Emperor and establishing their own order. But what exactly can be found within its pages, and is it good? Let’s dive in and see what you’re going to get if you pick this up, and how the different legions shake out in the new edition.īefore we dive in we’d like to thank Games Workshop for sending a preview copy of the book for review purposes. Containing all the information you need to play the Traitor Legions in the new edition of Horus Heresy, the Liber Hereticus is an absolute tome of a book, just like its sibling Liber Astartes.
