"This raises my war-spirit." – Lord Gunn, Shield-Bearer of Russ
The collectable cosmetics for the Space Wolves have now been added to the game, include a card back, several badges and war cries, and the warlords chat lines.
They will now start appearing in Cosmetics and reward crates, and in the Daily Shop.
Horus used the Isstvan III campaign to purge the traitor legions of those who weren't likely to follow him in his betrayal.
The Traitor forces prevailed in the 'Battle of Isstvan III' event, unlocking this badge in the game. Get it in the shop today, or in Cosmetics and reward crates going forward!
PS: This patch fixes an error in Leman Russ' Reckoning card, which was incorrectly treated as a Tactic for some effects
"Only in Death does Duty end" – Inscription on the Sagittarus.
For the first time, The Horus Heresy: Legions will expand its focus from Legiones Astartes to include a new faction: The Legio Custodes.
The Custodians, defenders of the Imperial Palace and the Emperor himself, were part of the Prospero offensive, and their individual might is superior to that of a Space Marine.
They will be joining the game after the Thousand Sons, in an introductory event set during the Battle of Prospero.
The Space Wolves are landing today, May 10th! You will be able to obtain the new cards and warlords in several different ways:
Event prizes: take part in the new timed event, ‘The Night of the Wolf’! Not only will you be able to play as the Space Wolves in the event, you will also get at least one guaranteed Space Wolves card in each reward crate.
Legion crates in the shop, which provide 5 cards out of which at least 3 are Space Wolves, and at least 1 of them is Rare or better.
A constructed deck in the shop, featuring Ohthere Wyrdmake as warlord, an exclusive card back, and a full deck of 30 cards including 20 Space Wolves cards. If you already own any of the cards in the deck, any spare duplicates will be converted into gems as normal.
Each day, there will be at least 1 card for sale in the Daily Shop which you can purchase using gems.
For the duration of ‘The Night of the Wolf’ event, the improved Daily Mission crates for VIP subscribers will also include at least 1 guaranteed Space Wolves card.
The Space Wolves will first become available in the shop two hours before the end of the current event and the start of ‘The Night of the Wolf’. The daily rotation will take place at that same time, two hours later than usual.
The Prospero expansion is about to begin, and it brings more than just new cards. Take a look at the new features and improvements included in the latest update, available to download now:
Share Match Replays and Decks with your Lodge A much requested feature is finally here! Use the new 'Share' button in the Battle Log to share replays in your Lodge chat. In addition, you can now share decks with your Lodge, either to show your deck-building skills or to ask for advice. Use the eye icon from the Deck editing menu to see your full deck, and then the new 'share' button to send it to your Lodge chat. Please note that, if you make further changes to the deck after sharing it, other Lodge members who press the link will see the most up to date version.
Improved Collection View See which cards you own from each faction in a single view in your Collection, to make it easier to take a screenshot and share it when asking for deck-building advice. From your Collection, press the new list icon at the top right of the screen to activate this view.
Warlord Chats in Collection You can now listen to all Warlord chats from the Collection. Go to any Warlord and find the chat icon to listen to their 6 combat chats, even if you haven't collected them all yet.
Improved Match Replays Controls Review your match replays with improved controls: -> 'Pause' will now stop any actions queued from pressing the 'Next' button. -> Advancing with 'Next' will now speed up some animations to move forward faster.
Support for 4:3 screen ratio The game now supports an increased range of screen formats, in full screen or windowed mode, up to 4:3 screen ratio.
"A novel strategy!" – Lord Commander Thaddeus Fayle
As the May season gets underway, a few warlords have received changes to rebalance the competitive landscape: ● Nathaniel Garro: No longer starts with an extra card in hand. ● Thaddeus Fayle: Starts with 1 more Energy. Relentless ability is no longer conditional and will create an Imperial Army Infantry in hand every turn. ● Ingethel: Ability cost reduced from 2 to 1. ● Sevatar: Initiative increased from Medium to High. ● Malcharion: Gains 'Battle Honour: Draw a card'. ● Barban Falk: Gains 'Start with an extra card' and ability cost reduced from 2 to 1.
Only today, you will receive 100 extra gems from the Daily Mission crate. You can use them to buy one of the many warlords in the Shop this Sunday, and try out a new legion.
Despite the overwhelming superiority of the traitor forces, the surviving loyalist continue their hopeless resistance, trying to delay Horus' plans and get back at their erstwhile brothers for their treason.
Tarvitz and Ehrlen provide some temporary relief, while "Little Horus" Aximand and Fabius Bile lead a new offensive on the last pockets of resistance. The end is near.
"If only there was another way..." – Captain Horus "Little Horus" Aximand, Sons of Horus
Two event warlords have received changes: ● Akshub no longer starts with an extra card. ● Julius Kaesoron now has High initative, and heals 2 with his Battle Honour ability
Furthermore, the end of the event has been brought forward one day, to 9th May, to accommodate the arrival of the eager Space Wolves on that day.
"When we next howl, the universe will shake from it." – Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves
