Horus Heresy new missions and Legiones Astartes detachments!

I wanted to write about this Warhammer Community article yesterday, but...life. Work. Reached home around 11pm last night, and I was half-dead from exhaustion. Client meetings, night classes, and I would have posted this earlier tonight, but I was bogged down from grading (after a day of client meetings). So I'm kind of weary and way behind on this...sorry.

Anyway, we have new core missions for the Horus Heresy, yay! Long story short, vehicles and cavalry can now score Objectives. My tanks and Knights can now score Objectives. Awesome.

We also have new primary detachments for the Legiones Astartes. This brings back the old Rites of War from 1st edition (and maybe 2nd edition), where you can bring Terminators and Veterans-only armies in Pride of the Legion or spam Dreadnoughts in Fury of the Ancients. Do take note you're subject to restrictions, e.g. you can only take specific auxiliary detachments with them, such as tanks with Dreadnoughts, but no Lords of War or Terminators. But if you don't mind the restrictions, you can bring entire armored formations (we have a tank-only primary detachment where you can bring decurions as your command options) or Sky-Hunter phalanx with jet-bikes. There's also an Orbital Assaults formation, so you can rain down drop pods, which the Codex Astartes call the Steel Rain maneuver...wait, Guilliman hasn't finished penning the Codex Astartes at this point of time yet, has he?

Anyway, go download the new documents here. My only gripe is that it's all Legiones Astartes now, and we have no new Primary Detachments for Mechanicum, Solar Auxilia or Knights. Oh, well. I guess we don't need them, technically? Not for Solar Auxilia and Knights, anyway. But Mechanicum could use new primary detachments for their various High Tech Arcana. Right now, they're all Apex detachments. Then again, if they come with restrictions, they won't be very useful either. Oh, well.
