JoyToy has launched pre-orders for a new range of 1/18-scale tactical legionary action figures inspired by Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, a move that gives collectors and conversion-minded hobbyists a fresh batch of ready-made legionnaires to add to displays and projects. The line covers multiple legions, including Thousand Sons, Sons of Horus, Alpha Legion, Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Imperial Fists and Blood Angels, offering familiar visual hooks for fans of the era.

Each articulated figure measures roughly 12.2 cm tall and is molded from ABS and PVC. Standard issue contents for a single figure include bolter weapons, a selection of interchangeable hands, grenades, scrolls, holsters and a display stand. Individual figures are listed at $34.99 each, and JoyToy also offers a boxed set that bundles seven legionaries for a higher price. Product images released by JoyToy show sculpted iconography and legion-specific armor treatments, giving a good sense of how these pieces will look on shelf or in a diorama.

This release matters because it expands the choices available beyond traditional 28mm miniatures, filling a niche for collectors who prefer larger, articulated figures that are ready to pose and display straight out of the box. The 1/18 scale makes these figures easier to handle for photographers, painters who like to add detailed highlights, and modders planning kitbashes with other action-figure parts. The inclusion of multiple accessories and interchangeable hands increases conversion potential without needing to trim or graft parts from other kits.

Pre-orders opened on January 21, 2026, and JoyToy expects to begin shipping in February 2026. That short lead time means early buyers will see these figures on shelves and in community photos quickly, so check stock and shipping updates if you want to lock in specific legions or the seven-figure boxed set. The pricing positions single figures as impulse purchases for display cases or conversion sprees, while the boxed set will appeal to collectors aiming for a small force or a multi-legion display.

Expect community reaction to focus on sculpt fidelity, paint quality for those who keep figures factory-finished, and how well parts mix for conversions. If you plan to buy, decide whether to pick singles to chase favored legions or take the boxed set for a quicker way to gather multiple troops. With shipping due in February, images, reviews and tabletop-staging ideas should appear across hobby feeds soon, giving plenty of material to compare before committing to a full purchase.
