by EverAdmin4It’s time for the Crusade to truly begin! Next Friday, the Neutral cards of the expansion join the battlefields of Warhammer the Horus Heresy: Legions, bringing new cards into the lines of every faction in the game.
Watch the upcoming card reveal videos by your favourite content creators to find out more about the upcoming batch of neutral cards before they join the game on Friday 26th of December.
This batch of content from the Crusade expansion will include support for the Imperial Army, Mechanicum and Chaos factions. These cards bring a new incarnation of elements from a faction that’s leaving Standard play, as well as new tools for existing archetypes. However, with this release, there will also be some changes in the collection.
As announced earlier during the expansion release, the Defenders of Caliban will become Legacy-exclusive, and there will be many Mechanicum cards that will become Dark Mechanicum cards to better fit their theme.

There is one further balance change coming next Friday. The Insurgent Leader’s description is changing to: ‘Change description to: ‘Cultist. Resolution: If a friendly Cultist died this turn, put in play a random Cultist’.
