"Oaths, brotherhood, loyalty... Lies!"
– Endryd Haar, Blackshield

The Orphans of War have arrived, fighting for your their own goals and pledging no alliance to either Horus nor the Emperor. Are you ready to lead your warband?

New Faction: Orphans of War
The Heresy's brutality and far reach across the galaxy left many Space Marines stranded without a Primarch, a Legion or a cause to believe in, outside of the grand schemes of Horus or the Emperor. These Orphans of War became the galaxy's boogeymen: some fought the Legions on their own terms; others ruled over petty kingdoms; others became nothing more than pirates.

New Event: 'Monsters and Martyrs'
Isstvan III and V are but ash and Horus has set his plan in motion. In the wake of his Heresy, both Loyalist and Traitors begin to find something new... Space Marines with no Legion, renegades, exiles and abandoned warriors who have formed warbands across the galaxy to fight for their own goals.

Three collectable Warlords lead the sail the stars in their own desperate missions:

● Atesh Tarsa: A survivor of Isstvan V and an apothecary who found a new home aboard the Iron Hands vessel Sisypheum. Cut off from his Legion, he now saves the lives of his new brothers in and out of combat.
● Endryd Haar: A former World Eater who never got the Butcher's Nails. He massacred both Loyalists and Traitors on his way to Terra pursuing a personal quest to kill Horus himself.
● Ulrach Branthan: Captain of the Sisypheum, one of the few vessels that escaped Isstvan V. Branthan didn't escape the Drop Site Massacre without being fatally wounded, and only being bound to an ancient artefact called The Iron Heart was keeping him alive afterwards.

How to Get Orphans of War Cards
You can collect the Orphans of War faction's cards in several ways:
● Each reward crate in the 'Monsters and Martyrs' event has at least 1 Orphans of War card.
● Orphans of War crates in the shop have at least 3 Orphans of War cards, 1 of them rare of better.
● A constructed deck in the shop, with Atesh Tarsa as warlord and an exclusive card back. Any duplicates you receive are converted into gems.
● Cards for sale with gems in the Daily Shop.
● VIP subscribers will find 1 guaranteed Orphans of War card in their Daily Mission crate during the duration of the 'Monsters and Martyrs' event.

The Orphans of War are now live. Lead your own warband!

"If you have any last words, speak now."
– Constantin Valdor, the Emperor's Spear

The Primarchs return! Several balance changes aim to bring some of the least popular primarchs back to the front lines:
- Horus: Increased Initiative to High
- Fulgrim: Increased Initiative to High
- Ferrus Manus: Increased Initiative to Medium
- Corax: Reckoning grants Stealth for one turn
- Emperor's Spear: Reduced cost of ability from 2 to 1.
- Valdor's Reckoning: Reduced cost from 16 to 15
- Perturabo's Whispers of Chaos: Reduce cost when any friendly troop dies during your turn (instead of only Iron Warriors)

Adapt and prevail!

"All we have is scorched earth and uncertainty."
– Atesh Tarsa

"The chains are broken!"
– Endryd Haar

Faction reveal! What would drive you if you were cut off from your Legion? Introducing the Orphans of War, the third faction joining the Calth expansion!

Featuring heroes from the Shattered Legions and Blackshields, these independent Astartes warbands roam the stars fighting for their own goals. While lacking the resources and scale of a full Legion, these warbands can pose a significant threat with their varied weaponry and tactics, and their bitter desire to exact vengeance against those who caused their fallen state.

The Orphans of War are coming to the game this Friday, November 8th. Stay tuned for the upcoming card reveals!

"We shall be judged by results, not by intentions."
– Captain Ulrach Branthan

Keep your transmission channels open!

"I've shown you how it's done."
– Marius Gage

Marius Gage is available in a starter deck, featuring an amazing Ultramarines card back, only today!

We march for Macragge!

"For courage and honour!"
– Remus Ventanus

Remus Ventanus arrives to punish Word Bearers and Daemons alike. The Sons of Lorgar put forth the abominable Mutant Astartes, soulless and thirsting for blood.

This patch also brings the following fixes:
- Aeonid Thiel’s ability will now correctly create a Theoretical when targeting units with Shield.
- Ingenuus Squad can now target itself with its ability.
- Mantle of Ultramar played by Canis Vertex will no longer buff Titan Weapons.
- Several translation fixes.

"And they say I'm mad!"
– Konrad Curze, The Dark King

Spooky! The Night Lords have taken over the shop today, and they bring a treat: Konrad Curze's alternate art, The Dark King!

Don't miss this new chance to get him as part of a complete deck, with a scary collector's card back to help you dress up for the occasion!

"Ours is the better way"
– Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines, XIII Legion

The Horus Heresy: Legions continues its fourth major content expansion, The Battle of Calth. The Ultramarines come forward today with courage and honour. Are you ready to fight for the Imperium?

New Legion: Ultramarines
Hailing from the distant Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, the XIII Legion is the most numerous of the Legiones Astartes. They pride themselves in their martial discipline that looks not for mastery of any field, but for total adaptability to respond to changing situations.

New Event: 'Betrayal at Calth'
The Ultramarines muster at Calth by order of Horus, unaware of the impending betrayal by the Word Bearers, sent to cripple them so that they cannot join their Loyalist brothers in the fight against the Warmaster. Take part in one of the defining episodes of the Horus Heresy!

Three collectable Warlords lead the hosts of Ultramar in the bloody fight against the traitors:

● Aeonid Thiel: Bearing a red helmet as a mark of Censure for running theoreticals on how to fight against Astartes, Sergeant Thiel's stratagems turned out to be crucial for the survival of the Legion during their first taste of betrayal.
● Marius Gage: The First Chapter Master of the Ultramarines lost his hand to a Daemon during the opening attack on Calth. He would go on to command the Legion's flagship, The Macragge's Honour, into an epic pursuit in the warp.
● Roboute Guilliman: The Primarch of the XIII Legion, one of the most loyal sons of the Emperor. His military prowess was matched by his superior statesmanship, with which he built the vast Real of Ultramar for the Imperium.

New Trait: Courage
The Ultramarines proved to be able to make a historic comeback at Calth. This has been distilled in a new trait, Courage: if the opponent controls more units than you when you play a card with Courage, it will trigger an additional effect to help you turn the tide of battle–– or at least, delay the inevitable making the traitors pay for it!

How to get Ultramarines Cards
You can collect the XIII Legion's cards in several ways:
● Each reward crate in the 'Betrayal at Calth' event has at least 1 Ultramarines card.
● Ultramarines crates in the shop have at least 3 Ultramarines cards, 1 of them rare of better.
● A constructed deck in the shop, with Aeonid Thiel as warlord and an exclusive card back. Any duplicates you receive are converted into gems.
● Cards for sale with gems in the Daily Shop.
● VIP subscribers will find 1 guaranteed Ultramarines card in their Daily Mission crate during the duration of the 'Betrayal at Calth' event.

The Ultramarines are now live. We march for Macragge!

"Ours is the better way."
