Horus Ascended

The Horus Ascended miniature represents the final form of Horus during the Horus Heresy.

This model is finely detailed and depicts Horus in his transformed state, towering over even his Primarch brothers. He’s a Primarch for your Traitor Sons of Horus army and in-game, he’s a force to be reckoned with.

His combat prowess is unmatched, and he can take on anything from hordes of heavy infantry to the largest war machines.

His signature armor and war gear are subtly altered by his immense power, and he stands atop a fully sculpted scenic base that depicts the unfathomable destruction he has unleashed upon the galaxy.

However, it’s important to note that this resin modelling kit is not a toy, but a collectible item that requires assembly and painting.

It’s perfect for expert Warhammer 40,000 hobbyists aged 15 years and over who love to collect and build amazing miniatures.
