New Horus Heresy miniatures arrive with Angron Transfigured centrepiece

Fans got a heavy hit of hobby content when a new wave of Horus Heresy and wider Warhammer releases was revealed on January 11, 2026. The standout is Angron Transfigured, a single-pose resin centrepiece that depicts the Primarch of the World Eaters fully in Chaos corruption, mounted on a scenic display base and aimed at experienced painters and converters. Lotara Sarrin, Mistress of the Conqueror, arrived as a finely detailed resin support model that fits Horus Heresy World Eaters collections, while the Skitarii Battle Group appeared as an 18-model multi-part plastic boxed set built for modular use in games or dioramas.

Angron Transfigured is clearly designed to be a centerpiece showpiece. The single-pose format and scenic base mean the model will reward advanced prep and finishing work: wash and degrease resin, pin stress points before glue, and plan a multi-stage paint plan such as a zenithal prime for dramatic lighting then layers with glazes and oil streaks for gore and corruption. Lotara Sarrin offers a high-detail support option for those who want a striking commander in a smaller footprint; plan face and fabric work early, and use controlled washes to preserve the sculpt’s fine detail.

The Skitarii Battle Group gives players a flexible plastics toolkit. The set can be fielded as separate units or combined, and includes a Vultarax Stratos-automata plus a Battle-Pilgrym Marshal with head and weapon options, and a transfer sheet for markings. That flexibility makes the boxed set useful both for competitive lists and for conversion fodder. For painters, multi-part plastics are an opportunity to assemble sub-assemblies for easier airbrushing, and to paint components separately for cleaner highlights and edge work.

The reveal came alongside Journal Tactica supplements and related releases across Warhammer lines, including a Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game Shelob & Gollum set and its associated journal. Those supplemental materials will matter for players who want rules, scenarios, or background to slot new miniatures into games quickly.

Practical next steps: pre-order windows will prioritize collectors who want guaranteed stock; plan assembly and basing before painting to avoid masking issues; and map a color scheme that ties the piece to existing forces or a display narrative. For Angron, build a painting timetable and budget for specialty supplies like fine washes and metal pigments. For the Skitarii set, use the transfer sheet to tie squad markings together and consider magnetizing heavy pieces to ease transport.

These releases shift the hobby calendar toward big showpieces and modular skirmish-ready plastics. Expect a run of showcase builds, conversion threads, and tabletop adaptations as painters bring Angron, Lotara, and the Skitarii into collections and campaigns.
