Review: Horus Heresy: Saturnine
Time to unbox the hottest release of the year: the new Saturnine box for Horus Heresy. The set includes a weighty new hardcover rulebook, a bucketload of sprues, and introduces the reimagined Saturnine Terminators, who bring a hefty (and controversial new silhouette to the 31st Millennium.

It captures your imagination and you immediately want to be a part of it, you want to learn more… then you see it… the Eldar Ulthwe Dreadnought.
