Forge World's Best Sellers: Horus Heresy & 40k (2024)

Wonder what Forge Worlds’ best sellers are looking like nowadays? Today we will be seeing what’s made it to the top since last month.

With Forge World pumping out resin minis, they’ve got the highest quality features. Here’s what’s climbed to the top of the charts over in the last month!

Constantin Valdor-£60

Constantin Valdor sits at the right hand of the Emperor as perhaps His most trusted companion and guardian, a watchman of inviolable purpose and all but unmatched fighting skill. Such in fact is Valdor’s martial power and superhuman physical and mental abilities that there are those, even within the Imperial Court, who have in whispers called him ‘Primarch’ in all but name. This is no doubt a disingenuous claim, as for all his power Valdor was made and trained to serve a different and far more focused purpose, that of Lord Commander of the Custodian Guard, and to Valdor the petty concerns of conquest and glory, dominion and victory are as nothing when compared to his own sworn duty.

Primarch Rogal Dorn-£75

A being of thunderous zeal and stone made manifest, is how many described the Primarch of the VIIth Legion. The zeal was the fire of a son who believed in his father’s dream for the Imperium without reservation and without question. To Rogal Dorn there was no higher purpose to the existence of the Legiones Astartes than the unification of Mankind, and the illumination of the Imperium’s ideals. This idealism drove Dorn and his Legion ever onwards, never compromising, never stinting in any aspect of duty. The stone in his soul was his ability to bear whatever his father needed of him, an unyielding nature, which made him both a master of defence in war, and an indomitable fighter on the attack.

Legion Fellblade-£180

Based upon the same STC data as the Baneblade and Deathhammer super-heavy tanks, which are a mainstay of the vast brigades of the Imperial Army, the Fellblade is a more advanced variant that first saw widespread service with the Legiones Astartes in the last decades of the Great Crusade.

It is most noted for its use of Mechanicum atomantic arc-reactor technology and a reinforced metaplas alloy chassis superior even to that of the Baneblade, alongside an advanced accelerator cannon as its primary armament. These systems are all fruits of Dark Age technologies rediscovered and restored to humanity shortly before the nightmare of the Horus Heresy.

Thunderhark Gunship-£450

The Thunderhawk Gunship fulfils a number of different strategic and tactical roles. Its primary mission is that of a drop ship but its utility does not end with the deployment of its lethal cargo of Space Marines, for it is a formidable heavy weapons platform in its own right. Equipped with a dorsal-mounted turbolaser, the Thunderhawk is able to engage targets as large as a Scout Titan or super-heavy tank as well as enemy fortifications. In addition to its main weaponry, the Thunderhawk mounts numerous heavy bolters with which it can scour a landing zone clear of enemy troops in a storm of mass reactive shells. An additional payload of wing-mounted missiles allows the gunship to operate in direct support of the squads it delivers into battle.

A frankly excessive amount of firepower strapped to an incredibly striking piece of Space Marines technology, this is the Thunderhawk Gunship; a Lords of War choice for a Legiones Astartes army list in games of The Horus Heresy and a Adeptus Astartes Strike Craft in Warhammer 40,000. Its brutalist, angular silhouette is broken up by a huge variety of weapons – the turbolaser mounted almost dead-centre is just the beginning, with 2 lascannon, 6 sets of missile pylons and numerous heavy bolters dotted about the wings and hull.

MKIC Deimos Pattern Rhino-£38

The ubiquitous Rhino Armoured Personnel Carrier is a mainstay of the Space Marine Chapters, and has been in continuous use for over ten thousand years. There are many patterns and designs of this robust vehicle, and the MkIc Deimos Pattern Rhino is amongst one of the oldest variants, first issued en-masse to the Space Marine Legions of the Great Crusade.

This pattern is armed with two turret-mounted bolters, slaved to the target-logis systems of the Rhino’s machine spirit, rather than the pintle-mounted storm bolter seen on the later MkIIc design. The MkIc Deimos Pattern Rhino is a complete resin and plastic kit that contains a standard Games Workshop Rhino kit as well as sufficient resin conversion components to construct the MkIc Deimos Pattern variant. The converted headlights shown in some images are not included in this kit. The rules for the Rhino can be found in Codex: Space Marines.

Fire Raptor Gunship-£110

The Fire Raptor Gunship is a specialised variant of the Storm Eagle known to have its origins in the Imperium’s dim and distant past. The vehicle is configured to maximise ammunition stowage in order to feed the voracious appetite of its numerous weapons and this is achieved by sacrificing the Storm Eagle’s transport capacity.

The secrets of the Fire Raptors construction were lost sometime after the Horus Heresy but Fire Raptors are now being fielded in increasing numbers across the countless war zones of the 41st Millennium, suggesting that an as-yet unidentified Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World or Adeptus Astartes Chapter Forge has come into possession of a complete STC imprint.

The Fire Raptor Gunship, is a complete resin and plastic kit armed with twin-linked avenger bolt cannon, wing-mounted hellstrike missiles and two ball turrets sporting either quad heavy bolters or twin-linked autocannon.

Mars Pattern Warhound Titan (Body Only)-£290

extremely detailed model of the Mars Pattern Warhound Titan. This model stands approximately 250mm/10.5 inches high depending on how the legs are constructed.

Rules for this model and it’s associated weapons can be found in the Games Workshop Apocalypse rulebook.

WEAPON ARMS NOT INCLUDED – THESE ARE SOLD SEPARATELY.

Legion Sicaran Battle Tank-£79

One of the most advanced armoured units in the arsenal of the Great Crusade, the Sicaran Battle Tank was the exclusive province of the Space Marine Legions. The Sicaran utilises component technologies from various STC patterns to create a high-speed ‘destroyer’ tank to complement the more commonplace Predator and Land Raider designs.

The primary armament of the main Sicaran variant is the sophisticated Herakles pattern accelerator autocannon, a superior rapid-firing and highly accurate weapon. It fires shells at far higher velocities than a standard autocannon, enabling it to successfully track and engage swift moving targets and pinpoint vulnerabilities in enemy armour with lethal precision.

The Sicaran Battle Tank is a complete resin kit. The rules for this model can be found in the Horus Heresy Book 2: Massacre.

Storm Eagle-£105

A formidable gunship, the Storm Eagle mounts fearsome firepower for a vehicle of its size and is capable of transporting twenty Space Marines directly into the thick of an assault. The exact provenance of the Storm Eagle is unknown, but it bears clear similarities to the Stormravens employed by the Blood Angels and Grey Knights. Certain sources place the principal manufacture of the Storm Eagle upon Tigrus and Anvilus IX, both primary-grade Forge Worlds that suffered catastrophic damage during the Horus Heresy. In recent decades the number of Storm Eagles in active service has begun to increase, especially amongst those Chapters known to have favourable relations with the Adeptus Mechanicus. This has lead some observers to believe that production has been restored at an as yet unknown location.

The Storm Eagle is a complete resin and plastic kit which is packed with incredible design work, including a fully detailed interior. This kit is compatible with our range of chapter-specific Rhino doors which are sold separately. Salamanders rhino doors shown in some images are not included.

Leviathan Dreadnought with Cyclonic Melta Lance and Siege Claw-£72

Created in limited numbers in the latter days of the Great Crusade, the Leviathan pattern Siege Dreadnought was developed in secret on Terra, away from the pervasive oculars of the Mechanicum. Its massive frame incorporates hybridised technologies, some dating back into the dim past of humanity. Towering over later Imperial walker patterns, this heavily armoured dreadnought is savagely powerful.

This Leviathan pattern Siege Dreadnought is equipped with a Cyclonic Melta Lance and a Siege Claw with built in melta-gun, a devastating pairing of powerful short ranged and close combat weaponry uniquely developed for the Leviathan.

The Leviathan pattern Siege Dreadnought is a multi-part resin kit. It includes optional torso mounted heavy flamers and volkite calivers, an optional Phosphex discharger and an 80mm round base.

Spartan Assault Tank-£110

An armoured transport of truly massive proportions, the Spartan is a heavy assault tank previously all but unknown outside of the revered Space Marine Chapters and the secretive Adeptus Mechanicus. The Spartan is a huge armoured conveyer whose purpose is to carry a large body of troops into the very heart of an enemy’s battle lines, weathering weapons fire that would be the death of any lesser vehicle.

Its design bears clear connections with that of the mighty Land Raider, and its genius is such that the greater proportion of its interior space is given over to a transport capacity greater than any other Imperial vehicle save the super-heavy Gorgons – being capable of carrying twenty-five power armoured Space Marines into battle. It is, however, considerably faster on the battlefield thanks to potent reactor-driven motive drives, and it boasts an equally potent armament in the form of sponson-mounted quad lascannon batteries and secondary heavy bolters.

The Spartan can also be upgraded with our range of Land Raider doors.

The Spartan Assault Tank is an enormous multi-part resin kit that features a detailed interior.

Primarch Magnus the Red-£80

Magnus the Red was unique among the Primarchs. Above all his brothers, Magnus the Red was the most numinous, a psyker of prodigious power. His very essence boiled with psychic potential, to the extent that his physical form seemed likely to be more a matter of will, and those who fell under his cyclopean gaze would feel their thoughts and substance to be no more opaque than glass, their innermost secrets laid open beneath the Crimson King’s stare. In battle, Magnus the Red fought like a mythical god; fire wreathed him and followed in his wake like a burning cloak.

Possessed of a supreme intelligence and a hunger for knowledge, Magnus saw himself and his Legion as creators of the future. Others might think of themselves as working for the betterment of Mankind, even of being bearers of the Imperium’s ideals, however Magnus saw another path. To him the Great Crusade, and each step on its bloody path, was a step from the darkness of ignorance into the light of reason and knowledge.

Magnus scowls beneath gloriously ornate armour, featuring a cape, crest and shoulder horns along with the shining plates and pauldrons. His right hand is given over to the summoning of warpfire, and his left brandishes the Blade of Ahn-Nunurta – as to be expected for a model supplied with such a detailed base, the model itself is a riot of detail ripe for the eager painter to pick out. The diorama base is a shining example of the psychic might of Magnus, depicting the Primarch standing atop a rocky outcrop surrounded by the billowing warpfire he summons to annihilate those who stand between him and glory.

A detailed construction guide is included – to keep the gaming base removable, care is required with glue, and there is a spare cape clasp in the kit (it’s an especially delicate piece!) Should you wish to add another layer of base this model can be placed, along with Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves, in the Magnus & Leman Russ Diorama Base (sold separately.)

This 47-part resin kit contains all the components needed to assemble this appropriately spectacular Magnus The Red miniature. It comes with two bases – one 40mm gaming base with minimal (yet still impressive) detail, and a 60mm diorama base.

Rules for Magnus The Red are available in The Horus Heresy Book Seven – Inferno.

The colossal Mars pattern Warlord Titan is among the most ancient and feared of the Imperium’s war machines. Forged on the Red Planet itself, it is worshipped and venerated as the Omnissiah’s will incarnate, and each god-engine is encased in layered armour and powerful void shielding, and armed with weapons that are capable of reducing armies to ash.

The rules for using the Warlord Battle Titan can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Five – Tempest and the Horus Heresy: Mechanicum – Taghmata Army List.

This multi-part resin kit includes components to build the legs and torso of a Mars Pattern Warlord Titan. The model features two ardex-defensor mauler bolt cannon turrets and two twin-linked ardex-defensor lascannon turrets. A numbered certificate for the Warlord Titan is also included with this kit.

The Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness Rulebook-£40

The Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness is a tabletop game for two or more players, in which you command an army of Forge World and Citadel miniatures representing either those Loyalist forces who fight in the name of the Emperor or the Traitors who have chosen to side with Warmaster Horus. This 216-page hardback book provides you with all of the core rules and diagrams you will need to recreate and fight the wars of the Horus Heresy.

With the recent release of Rogal Dorn and the Custodes codex, It shouldn’tbe a surprise that Dorn and the head Custode himself are in the best sellers section. This section changes because of what YOU all want, and It’s a nice way to see what’s trending.

Will you be picking any of these minis up?
