Sons of Horus Javelin Attack Speeder

Reserved for the most critical lightning-strike missions of the Age of Darkness, the Javelin Attack Speeder is a sleek, highly coveted fire-support craft whose mastery of antigrav technology borders on tech-heresy. Built around esoteric impellor systems so complex and poorly understood that elements of the Mechanicum view their manufacture with deep suspicion, the Javelin effortlessly balances raw speed with extended operational endurance. Unlike lighter land speeders, its heavily reinforced chassis allows it to hover gracefully over hostile terrain while bearing an astonishingly heavy payload; ranging from tank-busting laser destroyers and heavy missile launchers to infantry-shredding heavy bolters. Highly manoeuvrable and capable of delivering devastating precision bombardments to any corner of the battlefield, the Javelin remains one of the most prized mobile assets in the arsenal of the Legiones Astartes.

Frostheart Phoenix

This Frostheart Phoenix model was in the displays at Warhammer World.

frostheart phoenix

The Frostheart Phoenix is a creature of pure ice and cold. Its presence on the battlefield chills the air and saps the will of nearby enemies, reducing their combat prowess and turning the momentum of a battle in the High Elves’ favour. Its icy attacks can freeze foes solid, and it offers a powerful counterpoint to the more destructive nature of the Flamespyre Phoenix.

As with many Warhammer models, you have a choice you can either make the kit as a Frostheart Phoenix or Flamespyre Phoenix. They can be made with a High Elf Lord rider.

Sons of Horus Mastodon Heavy Assault Transport

The Mastodon was one of the heaviest assault transports in the arsenal of the Legiones Astartes during the Great Crusade.

Its cavernous assault bay, capable of housing almost half a Company, is protected both by thick layers of ceramite armour as well as crackling void shields. It also mounts a fearsome siege melta array, allowing it to breach even the most formidable defences with ease, as well as an array of secondary weaponry intended to defend the vehicle as it approaches its target. Unleashed only against the most fearsome of enemy redoubts, there are few obstacles that can stay the wrath of this relic of the Imperium’s bloody birth.

The Mastodon is heavily armed and armoured, carrying 40 Space Marines, and even Dreadnoughts, safely to the heart of battle. Whilst embarked, the warriors within will defend their immense transport, turning the sponson weapons on any enemy brave or foolish enough to come close. Its Siege melta array can easily destroy fortifications, and makes short work of armoured vehicles, whilst its Skyreaper Battery will tear through any airborne threat with ease.

High Elf Archmage on a Moon Dragon

This High Elf Archmage on a Moon Dragon was in the display cabinets at Warhammer World.

Soaring high above the battlefield on wings of shimmering sapphire and silver, a High Elf Archmage riding a Moon Dragon represents the ultimate synthesis of Ulthuan’s magical supremacy and martial majesty. These ancient, venerable mages possess a peerless command over the Winds of Magic, weaving reality-shaping spells from atop their colossal mounts. The Moon Dragon itself, older, wiser, and far more lethal than its Sun-born kin, shatters enemy formations with its devastating, pale-blue breath weapon. Together, rider and beast function as a majestic but terrifying force of nature, raining down arcane devastation while tearing apart the foes of the Phoenix King with crushing talons.

As with many models in the Old World range for Warhammer, this kit can be built as a High Elf Archmage on a Moon Dragon, or a High Elf Lord on a Fire Dragon.

Rogal Dorn Battle Tank at Warhammer World

Named in honour of the legendary Primarch of the Imperial Fists, the Rogal Dorn Battle Tank is a ponderous, heavily armoured behemoth designed to anchor the Astra Militarum’s armoured spearheads.

Larger and far more heavily protected than the ubiquitous Leman Russ, yet more nimble than a massive Baneblade, the Rogal Dorn bridges the gap as a dedicated heavy combat vehicle capable of taking immense punishment while shattering enemy fortifications. Its cavernous hull bristles with an imposing array of weaponry: the main turret can be fitted with either a devastating twin battle cannon or a high-caliber Oppressor cannon paired with a co-axial autocannon, while hull-mounted weapons, ranging from heavy meltas and castigator gattling cannons to pintle heavy stubbers—allow it to sweep away infantry and heavy armour alike.

Engineered with thick, reinforced plating and an imposing profile, the Rogal Dorn stands as an unyielding fortress on tracks, embodying the uncompromising resilience of its namesake across the war-torn battlefields of the 41st Millennium.

Bridging the gap between the ubiquitous Leman Russ and the gargantuan Baneblade, the Rogal Dorn Battle Tank is a ponderous, heavily armoured line-breaker engineered for the Astra Militarum’s most brutal grinding engagements. Named after the steadfast Primarch of the VII Legion, this heavy combat vehicle combines thick, damage-absorbent plating with immense, flexible firepower.

Its imposing main turret can mount a crushing twin battle cannon or an armour-shredding Oppressor cannon with a co-axial autocannon, while secondary mountings allow for an overwhelming barrage of castigator gatling cannons, heavy meltas, and sponson-mounted heavy bolters. Mobile enough to keep pace with armoured spearheads yet durable enough to act as a rolling fortress, the Rogal Dorn brings the uncompromising resilience and devastating artillery of its namesake directly to the front line.

Flamespyre Phoenix

These Flamespyre Phoenix models were in the displays at Warhammer World.

Attuned to the Wind of Fire, the Flamespyre Phoenix is a majestic avatar of destruction and rebirth that roosts among the fiery peaks of the Annulii Mountains. As it cuts through the sky, its fiery plumage leaves a searing trail of embers in its wake. In battle, this magnificent beast swoops over enemy regiments, unleashing a torrential ribbon of magical flame known as the Wake of Fire. Should a foe manage to strike the creature down, its death is merely a prelude to rebirth; its corpse exploding in a fiery burst before rising anew from the ashes to continue the slaughter.

As with many Warhammer models, you have a choice you can either make the kit as a Frostheart Phoenix or Flamespyre Phoenix. They can be made with a High Elf Lord rider.

Grand Cathay Iron Hail Gunners

These Grand Cathay Iron Hail Gunners were on display at Warhammer World.

Grand Cathay Iron Hail Gunners

The Iron Hail Gunners provide brutal, short-range firepower to the armies of Cathay. Armed with the iron hail gun, a heavy, large-bore blunderbuss, they excel at shredding tightly packed enemy formations. While their weapon lacks the extreme range of traditional bows or long-barrelled rifles, it more than compensates with sheer stopping power. At close quarters, a coordinated volley from these gunners causes catastrophic casualties, making them the ultimate counter to massed infantry and aggressive charges.

Imperial Fists Deimos Pattern Rhino

Imperial Fists Deimos Pattern Rhino

The Deimos Pattern Rhino is an iconic and reliable armoured personnel carrier used extensively by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. For the Imperial Fists, a Legion renowned for its expertise in siegecraft and fortified defence, the Deimos Pattern Rhino is a fundamental part of their armoured columns.

Imperial Fists Deimos Pattern Rhino

Its robust design, based on ancient Standard Template Construct (STC) technology, makes it well-suited for the relentless, grinding warfare that defines the Imperial Fists’ combat doctrine. The Rhino can transport a full 10-man squad of Legionaries, shielding them with its thick armour as it carries them swiftly across the battlefield. While the vehicle is primarily a transport, it can be equipped with various pintle-mounted weapons, such as a heavy bolter, multi-melta, or a havoc launcher, adding to the Imperial Fists’ already formidable firepower.

Krondys Son of Dracothion

This model of Krondys Son of Dracothion was at Warhammer World.

Krondys Son of Dracothion

Long before the great drake Dracothion rescued Sigmar from the void, the majestic Draconith empire was utterly shattered by the cataclysmic fury of Kragnos. The God of Earthquakes laid waste to their grand cities one by one, leaving only a tragic remnant of their proud species alive. Unable to slay the immortal beast, the dragon princes Krondys and Karazai turned to the enigmatic Lord Kroak in a desperate bid to seal their nemesis beneath a mountain. There Kragnos remained entombed for aeons—until the magical shockwave of the Necroquake ruptured his prison. Now, with the Earthshaker unleashed once more, the Draconith princes have bound their fate to Sigmar through the sacred Pact Draconis, leading a fierce new generation of dragons to war in defence of the Mortal Realms.

Imperial Fists Scimitar-pattern Jetbikes

Imperial Fists Scimitar-pattern Jetbikes

Serving as the premier high-speed shock assets of the Legiones Astartes during the devastating Age of Darkness, Scimitar-pattern Jetbikes are masterpieces of forgotten technology. Reengineered from highly complex, pre-Imperium STC designs, these sleek machines are essentially compact, low-altitude aircraft integrated with powerful grav-impellor engines. The anti-gravity plates allow the Scimitar to completely ignore treacherous terrain, skimming over shattered warzones to deliver fully armoured Space Marines into the heart of combat at breathtaking, near-supersonic speeds. Typically organised into Sky-hunter squadrons, these jetbikes carry devastating heavy weaponry mounted directly into their streamlined nose cowlings—such as heavy bolters, plasma cannons, or multi-meltas—allowing them to shred enemy formations on the fly. By combining the unstoppable durability of Legion power armour with unmatched aerodynamic agility, the Scimitar Jetbike ensures that the warlords of the Horus Heresy can seize the initiative and strike the decisive blow before the enemy even registers the roar of their thrusters.
