The MKVI Assault Squad has a new design Warhawk Jump Pack along with a redesigned torso rig and harness for the flight unit.
A combat shield is shown, the first time a generic heresy kit will feature this gear.
The MKIIIs appear to be compatible with Support and Heavy weapons.
The Deredeo Dreadnought is also to be converted to a plastic kit - can't wait to see this 👍
And yes, that's a plastic model in the picture - the Anvilus Autocannons have been reverted to the original design, removing the support bracket add to counter barrel warping.
Two new Astartes officers have been revealed: Vheren Ashurhaddon of the Sons of Horus and Lord-castellan Evander Garrius of the Imperial Fists.
I like both of these, and the tie-in with the upcoming Siege of Cthonia campaign feels like a good formula for future game development.
Cerastus Knight-Lancer: in plastic!
This is a brilliant design, and to see it come in plastic will be a dream come true for many collectors and gamers. The resin original is a superb model, but the cost and medium are a barrier for many.
More Cerastus in plastic in future?
All of these new models have been tied together in a new Horus Heresy road map for 23-24.
Great to see this @warhammer it makes such a difference to know the development path of our favourite game of demi-god rebellion 👏
Mystery army is very tantalising - Ruinstorm Daemons?
Oh and finally.... Epic is making a return!
I feel this is going to be big, in a tiny sort of way.
Overall a great set of heresy reveals and I'm very excited for to see these over the coming year 🙂

As stated in the CEO summary, another record year for GW Plc in terms of sales and profitability.
As in investor prospect, GW is growing its dividend payouts year on year. Share price remains strong, 2nd only the block-busting 2020-21 period.
Impressive stuff.

The core product line identity focus remains, as per the past 3 or so years, upon Warhammer 40,000, The Horus Heresy, Age of Sigmar and Warhammer: The Old World.
Lots of stated ambition here with the promise of lots more plastic heresy kits and big plans for WH: TOW.
It's come to my attention that you recently appeared on a podcast with Arch. I read your YouTube post and it's clear you've come under a lot of criticism as a consequence.
Here's a bit of background to help you understand this harsh reaction.
In June 2020, the contents of Arch's Discord server were leaked.
To say this was a hive of bigotry is an understatement.
Arch has never apologised for anything he said, or allowed to be said there.
