As well as the big 28mm Horus Heresy goodness for this weekend, you can also get your hands on some epic-scale armies as well from Games Workshop. Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Legions Imperialis is getting a couple of new Battlegroups and some new Squadrons in 8mm.

Legiones Astartes Battle Group // The Horus Heresy: Legions Imperialis

Shop The Horus Heresy: Legions Imperialis @ Store.OnTableTop

The first of the sets is the Legiones Astartes Battle Group which comes with a whole bunch of miniatures for getting started in The Horus Heresy. You get...

"Four Kratos Heavy Tanks, ten Rhino transports, four Leviathan Dreadnoughts, four Deredeo Dreadnoughts, four Rapier batteries, four Tarantulas, two Command Squads, eight Tactical Legionary bases, two Terminator bases, two Assault Marine bases, four Support Legionary bases, four Contemptor Dreadnoughts, four Outrider bases, six Scimitar jetbike bases, four Javelins, and four Land Speeders"

This could be a great option for beginners who just want everything in one set. At least at a smaller scale it's easier to paint, right? If you prefer playing as the Solar Auxilia then you can also get a Battle Group for the grizzled mortals of The Horus Heresy.

Solar Auxilia Battle Group // The Horus Heresy: Legions Imperialis

This once again comes with a whole bunch of miniatures for getting started with the Solar Auxilia. This set comes with...

"Two Baneblade super-heavy tanks that can alternately be built as Hellhammers, twelve Rapier batteries, four Cyclops remote bombs, twelve Tarantula sentry guns, two Legate Commander bases, eight Auxiliary bases, four Veletarii bases, four Auxiliary bases with flamers, four Charonite Ogryn bases, four Aethon Heavy Sentinels, six Dracosan transport tanks, and eight Leman Russ Strike tanks outfitted with battle cannons or Vanquisher cannons."

Another massive horde of 8mm miniatures for you to snap up and start playing out the massive battles of The Horus Heresy. Blast things apart with massive cannons and send in some grizzled veterans.

Rumbling Tank Squadrons

As well as the two Battle Groups above, you can also get your hands on two Tank Squadrons which fit both the Legiones Astartes and the Solar Auxilia. Both of these feature vehicles which we've previewed before and are now available.

Legiones Astartes Predator Squadron // The Horus Heresy: Legions Imperialis

Solar Auxilia Leman Russ Strike Squadron // The Horus Heresy: Legions Imperialis

As you might have guessed by the names, you can get your hands on a big bunch of Predators and some Leman Russ to bolster your armies on the tabletop. All of these miniatures are available to pre-order this weekend ahead of their release in a couple of weeks.

Will you be scooping up some epic-scale armies?
