There’s a huge amount of printed goodies in this box, all of which are vital to giving you the ultimate “new edition” experience. 1 x Warhammer: The Horus Heresy transfer sheet, with more than 300 transfersīy the Warmaster Himself, that’s a lot of stuff!

We’ll have a true-to-form, FauxHammer-style, up-close and personal look at every part of this set in a moment. I’ve had to swipe the promo photo from Games Workshop’s webstore for the sake of this review. There is, in fact, so much stuff in the new Horus Heresy box that there was absolutely no way I could get it all in my lightbox. Phew! Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Review – ContentsĪs you’ll see in the unboxing above, there’s an absolutely vast amount of stuff in the Age of Darkness box. Underneath the book is the build guide, which is a simple black-and-white document printed on plain paper.Īnd finally, with the build guide out of the way and the cardboard frame removed, we find everything else.Ī packet of dice, a heap of bases for all the soon-to-be-built miniatures in the box, as well as a transfer sheet. There’s also a single-sided advert for some of The Horus Heresy Black Library releases tucked in there too. The rulebook and reference sheets are shrink-wrapped together to keep them safe. Removing the divider, we find our books and other paper-based goods. The divider is double-sided, one bearing the new Warhammer: The Horus Heresy logo, the other showing everything that you can currently purchase in the range. With the sprues removed, we come to a divider – and the box seems pretty empty. Weighing in at a higher value than my kitchen scales can read (they’re only cheap), this beastly box is by far the biggest one we’ve seen from Games Workshop in recent years.īeneath the red plastic measuring sticks and the sprue of damage templates (which we’ll look at closer later), lie no fewer than 24 sprues. Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Review – Unboxing Now is the time to choose your side, for the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. The Age of Darkness has never been so real and accessible. But now, with a new range of plastic miniatures, times are changing. With only a couple of plastic boxed-games releases, the range of resin miniatures never had the same appeal as the plastic Warhammer Fantasy/Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000 ranges (because it’s comparatively a nightmare to build). The Horus Heresy has only really been a Forge World thing until now. Above all, it shows where the humans of the 41st Millennium came from, and the sheer chaos that one familial squabble left in its wake.
