Forge World Newsletter #320
Hi there,
To survive the devastating firepower that is unleashed in The Horus Heresy Book I: Betrayal, your Legiones Astartes army is going to need some serious armour to protect it, and this week we can bring you exactly that with the release of the Cataphractii Pattern Terminators and Weapons sets. As well bringing you details of these formidable warriors, we also have a reminder of our presence at Games Day Italy and Games Day France this month for those of you attending these events.

As well bringing you details of these formidable warriors, we also have a reminder of our presence at Games Day Italy and Games Day France this month for those of you attending these events.
Cataphractii Pattern Terminators and Weapon Sets
The Cataphractii pattern was amongst the first Tactical Dreadnought armour patterns issued to the Legiones Astartes as they fought their way across the galaxy during the time of the Great Crusade . Its slab-like ceramite pauldrons housed additional shield generators, enabling its wearer to withstand far heavier enemy fire than its contemporaries, but this unparalleled protection came at a price as its bulky nature slowed the wearer dangerously, leading to its declining use in some Legions by the outbreak of the Heresy.
Designed by Will Hayes, the iconic Cataphractii Pattern Terminators set contains five detailed multi-part resin models plus an optional bare head and a grenade harness.
Will has also designed three weapons sets to be used with the Cataphractii Pattern Terminators. The Cataphractii Power Fist set comprises five combi-bolters, a power sword, four power fists and a chainfist, while the Cataphractii Power Axe set comprises five power axes, a power sword and five combi-bolters.
The third set is the Cataphractii Special Weapons set, comprising two sets of lightning claws, two thunder hammers, a power sword, a power maul, a chainfist, a plasma blaster, a twin-linked autocannon and a heavy flamer.
While you can use these sets to represent Terminator armour in games of Warhammer 40,000, rules for fielding squads of Cataphractii Pattern Terminators can be found in the Space Marine Legion army list in The Horus Heresy Book I: Betrayal. All of the above kits are available to pre-order now for despatch on Friday 2nd November.
