The latest free rules for the new edition of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness are now here. The plucky, rag-tag forces of the Imperialis Militia are ready to join the battle. Quinn from the Horus Heresy team is here to explain more.

Quinn: The defining feature of the Imperialis Militia across previous editions of the Horus Heresy has always been the Provenances of War, a set of selectable archetypes which help theme the army and shape unit construction. With the newest version of the list, we’ve tried to make this element as permissive and accessible as possible – all Provenances are cross-compatible, and while you can only pick one as standard, all it takes to get access to a second is including a Force Commander in your army, who can even be taken in allied detachments with the Special Assignment prime benefit.

 

Typically, Provenances add a passive benefit to your units and unlock access to optional upgrades to theme your model collection, helping players counteract some of the inherent vulnerabilities of the Militia list.

 

The list itself is still a grab-bag of options designed to appeal to kitbashers, even including new units to better account for the selection of civilian Imperial vehicles that are now available as miniatures. It makes use of the full range – if you’ve ever wanted to make an abhuman army using Necromundan Squats miniatures, this is the list for you!

While remaining a hobbyist’s army at heart, the Militia list is still intended to be fun and rewarding to play with, even if it lacks some of the competitive edge of other armies – after all, asking levied conscripts to fight Space Marines is a tall order… 

 

In addition to the Provenances of War letting you really lean into a specific playstyle or cover vulnerabilities, the Irregulars special rule lets most Militia units score objectives for reduced Victory points even when they’re Pinned, Stunned, or Suppressed. This represents the ‘forlorn hope’ role of such forces during the Age of Darkness, acting to delay or distract hosts that far outmatched them in power, and it comes in very handy when most of your models lack the Leadership and Cool Characteristics of a trained soldier.

 

Thanks, Quinn. You can download the list below, and we’ll be back with another free army list soon.
