Heck, that’s how we here at BoLS started. Maybe sprinkle in some chaos daemon goodies here and there for some extra flavor. “It’s a chaos army in their pre-heresy colors.” As long as all the weapons and options lined up and it all makes sense. Part of the advantage of playing a Traitor Legion in the Horus Heresy is that you could use the same models in conjunction with the Chaos Space Marine lists. I think if you’re playing a Chaos Space Marine list you could really get a kick out of using these bits in particular. But this new box sure beats the heck out of having to buy single extra bits or trade buddies for them just to get enough per unit! I don’t know if GW is planning on trying to work out the logistics of that for future releases and if that’s even reasonable. Looking back at some of the more recent 40k releases I know units like Havocs sure could have used some extra weapon options (looking at you rotor cannons).
I really hope Games Workshop decides to roll out Special Weapon packs like this in the future. Hopefully, that should get you covered for all your special weapon needs!
HERETIC GAME WEAPONS FULL
This is enough weapons to equip three full (20 man) squads into 6 Tactical Support Squads of 10 men or 12 units of 5 men. Now, does that mean you can’t use them with your other Mks of Power Armor Marines? To be perfectly honest, we have no idea…They look like they could fit. The ones that are coming in the new Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness Boxed set. That means it’s designed for use with your “Beakie” Marines.
HERETIC GAME WEAPONS UPGRADE
“This upgrade kit comprises 100 plastic components and is designed to be assembled with the MKVI Tactical Squad set, which is sold separately.” Let’s kick this off with a slight disclaimer from GW: Finally, you’ll get all the Special Weapons you need to outfit your units exactly how you need them. That’s why this new box is so darn useful for Heresy Era players. So, unlike the Tactical Squads of the more modern 40k era (pre-Primaris) you don’t have a Heavy weapon and a Special Weapon in a squad - you have a 10 man squad of Plasma. During the Heresy Era a unit would all run the exact same weapon. One of the big things about the Horus Heresy is how the units equip and use Special Weapons. Do you need all the Special Weapons ever? The new Special Weapons Upgrade Packs are fan-freakin-tastic!
