The warmonger returns from Malevolence as a way to add deep strike to any unit, and does it in a somewhat risky way. Here are a couple of my favorite highlights: Legion Warmonger Consul
Compared to first edition they’re often missing a bit of flavor, and at first glance mostly seem balanced to be a little worse than the core units.
Overall these feel like they were a bit of an afterthought produced in a rush after the main rulebooks. There are 38 characters, units, and vehicles that can be taken by specific legions, and a couple fortifications (including one from 10,000 years in the future, the Hammerfall Bunker). There are 31 different generic units that can be used by any legion, mostly different inducted Imperial Guard vehicles, but also a handful of no-longer-produced Marine kits, and the nullificators that were added in Malevolence. This big PDF (over 100 pages) covers all the previously missing units that can be taken by one of the Legions (except the ones needed for the Brethren of Iron rite of war). With this week’s release of two PDFs, GW has brought back rules for all these units, as well as the Exemplary Battle units being released towards the end of first edition. Some of the most notable were the good old castaferrum (box) dreadnought, various baneblade variants that the legions can take, and special characters that never got a specific model. The initial release of Horus Heresy 2 had some much-loved units missing from the already chunky Liber books, generally because there isn’t a specific model currently being produced for them.
