Warmaster Heavy Battle Titans are the embodiment of the Omnissiah's wrath. Once hidden away from prying eyes, these war machines have been unleashed in the cataclysmic days of the Horus Heresy. Though few in number, the thunderous tread of a Warmaster is an omen of impending doom, for little can stand against their fury.
Warlord Battle Titans bestride the battlefields of the Horus Heresy, their thunderous tread heralding destruction. A mainstay of the Collegia Titanica, these Titans are among the largest war machines ever devised by the Mechanicum, and mount a vast arsenal of weapons – Arioch-pattern power claws shred enemy Titans in melee, while plasma annihilators offer intense mid-range firepower.
Warhounds are the smallest class of ‘true’ Titan, classed as Scout Titans in reference to their common operational role as vanguards to larger Titan battle groups, or support elements to lesser ground forces. When confronting enemy god-engines, Warhounds must rely on their speed, manoeuvrability, and pack tactics to bring down their larger counterparts.
Warhounds are the smallest class of ‘true’ Titan, classified within the De Bellis Titanicus as ‘Scout Titans’ in reference to their common operational role as vanguards to larger Titan battle groups, or support elements for lesser ground forces. A Warhound's sheer scale and power is enough to turn the tide of most battles – but when facing enemy Titans, they must rely on manoeuvrability and pack tactics to bring down their larger counterparts.
Take to the shattered, war-torn battlefields of the Garmon Cluster with this expansion book for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis. This 128-page hardback book explores the origins of the terrible clash that would later become known as the Great Slaughter of Beta-Garmon, and allows you to fight massive battles and bloody campaigns set within that apocalyptic conflict.
The Warbringer Nemesis Titan serves the Collegia Titanica in the role of heavy fire support. It mounts a single Warlord-scale weapon on its upper carapace and Reaver-scale weapons on its arms – sacrificing the speed, armour and manoeuvrability of a conventional Battle Titan in favour of firepower far in excess of its size. With a Mori quake cannon launching world-shaking shells of arcane power, the Warbringer Nemesis is a sight to inspire dread in all but the most battle-hardened enemy Princeps.
The reptilian Seraphon strive tirelessly to advance the Great Plan of the Old Ones, returning true order and balance to realms warped by the Dark Gods. Their armies see cold-blooded saurians and ferocious scaled beasts fight together as a single potent force – a fusion of predatory violence and esoteric cosmic power that few can withstand.
The Spawn of Chotec are gigantic salamanders, believed by the Seraphon to be the children of their sun god. Directed in battle by sun-blessed skink handlers, these predatory creatures are capable of belching flammable acid in viscous globs or deadly streams of liquid flame – victims who survive this fiery burst soon find themselves horrifically digested alive by the caustic juices that remain.
The Solar Auxilia are the elite corps of the Imperial Army, recruited from all across the galaxy. The soldiers of the Solar Auxilia are equipped with the weapons and gear to persecute war in some of the harshest environments imaginable. Though outmatched individually by the mighty Space Marines, these troops are far greater in number and prepared to throw down their lives for the cause – whether sworn to the Golden Throne of Terra, or the ambition of the Imperium's rebellious Warmaster.
Slann Starmasters are amongst the greatest wizards in all the realms, ancient beings created to serve the unfathomable Old Ones. It is their cold and distant intellect that guides the Seraphon to carry out the Great Plan, deciphered from glimpses of a grand cosmic equation. A Starmaster may reshape reality itself with a languid gesture, wielding the energies of the stars to annihilate the enemies of true order.
Skink Starseers sit at the apex of the skink priesthood, festooned with astromantic tools that aid them in deciphering the portents of the heavens. Starseers are the most puissant Seraphon wizards after the Slann Starmasters themselves, with celestial blessings that allow them to gaze into the future and influence the skein of fate to suit their masters’ unknowable ends.
Diminutive but deadly, the Skinks of the seraphon are deceptively fast skirmishers who wield a surprising level of power. Communicating in chirps and clicks, they co-ordinate their strikes with an impressive synchronicity, opportunistically attacking and darting back into cover before the enemy can react.
