Warhammer: The Horus Heresy Battle Groups 2026

 
Two Legion Battle Groups arrive November 14 — while stocks last
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy at Saga Concepts

Games Workshop's Holiday Battleforces extend to The Horus Heresy this year with two Legion Battle Groups. Whether you're building a rapid deployment vanguard or an armoured shock assault force, these bundles bring you a curated selection of units in one box. Both are available while stocks last.

Pre-orders open Saturday, November 14, 2026. Release date is Friday, November 27, 2026. Join the waitlist below to get an alert the moment they go live.

Both Battle Groups are built for Legiones Astartes and work for loyalists or traitors. Each offers a distinct playstyle — rapid deployment and flexibility, or heavily armoured brutality — and includes enough units to field a solid core army or reinforce an existing Legion.

LEGIONES ASTARTES

Vanguard Assault Battle Group

The Vanguard Assault Battle Group is a well-rounded rapid deployment force, offering a mix of infantry and armoured might. This is a great starting point for any budding Legion commanders who want flexibility on the battlefield.

Contents: 20 Mark VI Tactical Squad Legionaries, 10 Mark VI Assault Squad Legionaries, Legion Praetor with Power Sword, Contemptor Dreadnought, Deimos Pattern Rhino, Deimos Pattern Predator Battle Tank.

LEGIONES ASTARTES

Heavy Assault Battle Group

This heavily armoured Battle Group is the perfect choice for those who like their Legion forces brutal, direct, and to the point. Six Cataphractii Terminators loaded into a Land Raider make a devastating shock assault force for loyalists and traitors alike.

Contents: 20 Mark III Tactical Squad Legionaries, 10 Mark III Breacher Squad Legionaries, 5 Mark III Legion Command Squad Legionaries, 6 Cataphractii Terminators with Volkite Chargers and Power Mauls, Land Raider Explorator/Carrier.
