Nicknamed ‘Little Horus’ for his uncanny resemblance to the Warmaster, Horus Aximand was a high-ranking captain of the Sons of Horus and a member of Horus’ Mournival. Following the massacre of his former brethren on Isstvan III, Aximand was haunted by dreams of his former brother Garviel Loken and was noted to have privately harboured doubts about his decision to side with the Warmaster. Fighting at the vanguard of the Traitor forces, his every action sought to assuage his conflicted psyche. Despite being seriously wounded on several occasions, Horus Aximand commanded several notable actions during the Horus Heresy.

Following the betrayal of his brethren upon Isstvan III, Horus Aximand was wracked with guilt, seemingly haunted by the ghost of his former Mournival brother, Garviel Loken. Following his discovery that Loken still lived, their paths and blades would cross again before the conclusion of the conflict.
Aximand’s Controlling Player gains additional Victory Points if he kills Garviel Loken in a Challenge.Compact and deadly, pistols are ideal weapons in close quarters. They lack the sheer range of larger weapons, but can be brought to bear with impressive speed and are no less deadly than their larger counterparts.

Some weapons trade precision for indiscriminate destruction, high explosive impacts that can devastate a wide area. From artillery shells to high energy blasts, such weapons are popular tools of destruction on the battlefields of the Horus Heresy.
Attacks made with the Blast (X) Special Rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.Designed to be carefully attached to a target and blast precise holes in the thickest armour, these cumbersome devices are ill-suited to open war. However, when a vulnerable target can be isolated in battle, there are no better tools for piercing its protection.
Weapons with this Special Rule can only attack Vehicles and immobile Models.| Melee Weapon | |||||||

Infantry units include all types of foot soldiers. Infantry are fairly slow moving, but can cross almost any terrain and make the best use of cover to avoid enemy fire.
Infantry is the most basic Type, and is applied to most Models in the game. A Model with the Infantry Type uses the Core Rules without modification, gaining neither benefit nor penalty. Models with the Infantry Type may Embark and Disembark upon Models with the Transport Sub-Type.Designed to pierce the armour worn by heavy infantry, some weapons have gained a fearsome reputation on the battlefields of the Floras Heresy. While many such weapons are rare or temperamental in use, the sheer power of their attacks more than makes up for this.
With a Weapon that has the Breaching (X) Special Rule there is a chance that a Wound Test may result in the Wound ignoring Armour Saves.Whether by dint of superior skill or exemplary wargear, some warriors are better able to place strikes on enemy weak points. Such attacks can fell even the most powerful foes with a single well-placed shot.
Attacks made with the Critical Hit (X) Special Rule have a chance to automatically cause a wound and inflict 1 extra point of Damage.Some warriors are trained or equipped to make the most of the force of a charge. When they slam into enemy ranks, it is with the force of a thunderbolt.
On a successful Charge, a Model with the Impact (X) Special Rule temporarily increases a Characteristic by 1.| Ranged Weapon | |||||||
