The battlefields of the Horus Heresy continue to expand, Middle-earth gets a cinematic infusion, and the Black Library delivers more tales of grimdark survival and rebellion. Here’s a breakdown of the latest reveals.
Fellblade Super-heavy Battle Tank
The Fellblade finally arrives in plastic, a true titan of armored warfare designed for the Legiones Astartes. With its colossal accelerator cannon and an array of secondary weaponry, this tank will dominate the battlefield far better than its old Forge World resin cousin. Customization options include multiple sponson and hull weapons, as well as pintle-mounted armaments to tailor the tank to your army’s needs.
MkII Assault Squad
The return of the Crusade-pattern jump packs is here, complete with turbine-powered retro charm. This MkII Assault Squad makes an excellent thematic addition to any Horus Heresy force, with a huge spread of weapons from pistols and shields to heavy chainaxes and disintegrator pistols. Ten warriors strong, this kit oozes character for those looking to give their veterans a venerable edge.
Journal Tactica: The Forges of Saturn
A lore-rich supplement digging deep into Saturnine armour and Dreadnoughts, complete with new rules, units, and missions. Of particular note are daemon-infused Word Bearer Terminators and a set of asymmetric Onslaught missions for players who love testing their armies against fortified positions.
Combat Force Boxes
Three new entry points for the Horus Heresy hit the shelves:
-
Legiones Astartes Combat Force – Space Marines, heavy weapons, a Rhino, and a Leviathan Dreadnought.

Final Thoughts
This week is all about big kits and big stories. The Fellblade is a highlight, finally bringing one of Forge World’s most iconic tanks into plastic, while the MkII Assault Squad scratches the nostalgia itch with turbine jetpacks. The Combat Forces give easy access points for Horus Heresy collectors, while Middle-earth fans can dive into cinematic storytelling with The War of the Rohirrim™ supplement—though remember, those will only be available direct from GW.
Black Library’s offerings round things out with a mix of faction-focused novels and short stories, giving every corner of the Warhammer hobby something to look forward to.
