Lexicon

Here you can find all the references, FAQ's, Errata and other freely published documentation. The largest component of this section is the full unit reference table, which identifies the publication with the most up-to-date rules for every unit in the Horus Heresy, as well as weblinks to where you can purchase the kit from or suggestions for alternative kits in some cases.

## FAQ & Errata

Forgeworld releases their Errata and FAQ on their dedicated website, but sometimes it can be hard to know exactly where to look for the different documents for use in games and reference. By following this link here, all the current FAQ's can be found.

## Black Library Index

The Black Library Horus Heresy series of books (including the Primarch series and other related series) are a vast source of background knowledge and lore for anyone wishing to get to know their Legion a little better. However, it can be very confusing to work out which books are good to read for learning about which army. To aid with this, the table below includes the major Horus Heresy novels, the Primarch Series and the Siege of Terra series, and what Legion(s) are represented primarily in them.

***Please Note:** Anthologies and short stories may not all be included in this list.*

## Unit Rules & Model Index

There are a vast amount of rules and units in the Horus Heresy, and it can be a nightmare to find the most up-to-date rules for that unit in all the books that have been published. To help with this, the most up-to-date rules for each unit listed below have been identified and linked for ease of reference. The attached link will either take you to the Forgeworld website if it is a book, or an uploaded PDF if it is a freely published document.

In addition to the rules link, the purchasable model for that unit is also linked (if the model is available for purchase).

*\*No specific model exists for this unit, it is recommended to convert it from a similar kit or a kit with the desired look/parts you're after*

*\*\*Unit has significant changes to rules, wargear or options for in the latest FAQ, please ensure you use the errata specified with the publication listed*

*\*\*\*Unit currently has experimental rules in the latest FAQ, it is generally accepted that these rules are the newest and are official*

### Legiones Astartes

#### Shattered Legions & Blackshields

Because Shattered Legions are made up of multiple legions, their respective units can be found in each section listed above. The same applies to Blackshields, as they are often comprised of models from other legions. The rules for all units in these armies and unique characters can be found in Book 6 - Retribution however.

#### Alpha Legion

***Please Note:** See **all** tables above for the full list of available Alpha Legion units (excluding special characters)*

### Cults & Militia

In the Horus Heresy, the Cults & Militia force represents the era-equivalent of the Astra Militarum in essence. They are your basic humanoid infantry force that can throw tanks around and draw from abhuman auxiliaries such as Ogryns. Because of this, it is very easy to build a Cults & Militia army using the standard range of Astra Militarum or even Genestealer Cults models from Games Workshop and Forge World. To support this, the table below will give examples of different models that can be used to represent different units.

This is not an exhaustive or definitive list, but it is substantial and should allow you to field an army for Cults & Militia using Games Workshop or Forge World miniatures.

***Please Note:** Death Korps of Krieg and the Cadian Hazard forces available on Forgeworld have not been included, otherwise the lists would be extremely unwieldy.*

### Daemons of the Ruinstorm

The Daemons of the Ruinstorm occupy a unique position in the Horus Heresy, in that they have an absolutely enormous variety in what models you can field. They even have the rule "Perils of Infinite Variety" that essentially tells you the recommended base sizes of the respective models rather than what models to actually use. This can be extremely intimidating to someone wanting to get into Horus Heresy as a Daemons player, so the table below will give examples of different models that can be used to represent different units.

This is not an exhaustive or definitive list, but it is substantial and should allow you to field an army dedicated to one of the 4 main Chaos Gods using Games Workshop or Forge World miniatures.

### Mechanicum Taghmata

The Mechanicum have some interesting and bespoke units, but offer a lot of customization and choice in terms of models used. Some characters (such as Inar Satarael) don't have a dedicated model, but their statline and descriptions match other models in the Mechanicum range. To support this, if there are multiple models that can be used as a certain unit, then those options will be listed in the webstore link column as named options for ease of reference. These aren't "hard-and-fast" rules, more guidelines based on appropriate model usage, experience and information from the Black Library lore.

***Please Note:** The following table includes all units for Taghmata Omnissiah, Ordo Reductor and Legio Cybernetica armies*

### Panoply of War

In the Horus Heresy, the Panoply of War is a selection of super heavy vehicles available to several armies as a Lord of War selection.

***Please Note:** The rules for several of the older Forge World vehicles are no longer in circulation. These can be found in the Imperial Armour Apocalypse 2013, but due to it no longer being produced it'll be hard to get hold of. Battlescribe has the rules in a very up-to-date form so you can refer to them for use.*

### Talons of the Emperor

The model range for the Talons of the Emperor is extremely extensive as far as Custodes go, but there are several key kits missing for the Sisters of Silence. You can kit-bash the missing kits using various other kits from around the range, just look for grenade launchers from Cadian Shock Troopers for Seeker Cadres or various animals from Necromunda for the Pursuer Cadres. A lot of the kits used in Warhammer 40K found on Games Workshop can be used for Horus Heresy units (such as Custodian Wardens being perfectly acceptable Hetaeron Guard models, etc...)
