New Core Mission Pack Launches for Horus Heresy
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy is receiving a new Core Mission Pack alongside updated Primary Detachments for Legiones Astartes, as Warhammer Community reported.
Fantasy & Market Impact
- Vehicle and cavalry units can now score objectives, changing list-building strategies.
Feedback Shapes Three Primary Objectives
The upcoming missions build directly on the updated FAQ document released last month. The development team designed the pack to mirror the Age of Darkness Rulebook structure while integrating player feedback.
Players gain access to three distinct Primary Objective types. These allow victory points for controlling objective markers, holding battlefield sectors, or wiping out enemy units.
Escalation and Hammerblow Variants Change Objective Scoring
Two of the primary objectives support Escalation or Hammerblow variants. This gives players the choice to tally victory points at the end of every turn or wait until the battle concludes.
The team behind the game explained the different ways players can now experience the tabletop wargame. The new rules introduce expanded deployment maps and extend the total number of turns per match.
| Mission Element | Previous Standard | New Mission Pack Update |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Objectives | Single focus types | Three types (Markers, Sectors, Destruction) |
| Scoring Units | Infantry restricted | Vehicles and Cavalry included |
| Scoring Timing | End of battle fixed | Escalation or Hammerblow options |
Unusual Army Archetypes Open Up
Vehicle and cavalry units now hold the capacity to score objectives across these new scenarios. This rules adjustment lets collectors field non-traditional armored columns and cavalry formations without sacrificing board control.
