by EverAdmin4“The death of this planet gives life to the Omnissiah’s wrath.”
– Xel-Oreka
Every planet a field test, every battle a demonstration of their destructive prowess. The Mechanicum’s commitment to their craft is absolute, a fact that burns ever fiercer when their ingenuity is given free rein. When the Dark Mechanicum rose from the forges of Mars, the last barriers the Cult Mechanicus faced in their research ultimately disappeared, and the pursuit of knowledge was rewritten in fire and blood.
Among their most fanatical adepts stand the Myrmidon Destructors, who surrender their bodies to become living weapon platforms and enter the battlefield carrying the most destructive of weaponry. Now, Xel-Oreka, Myrmidon Destructor of Sarum, joins the battle as a new Dark Mechanicum Warlord, ready to showcase his aptitude in the science of slaughter. Keep reading to discover how to unlock the newest Warlord to enter the battlefield in Warhammer The Horus Heresy: Legions!
The Redjak Ravager
The isolated Forge World of Sarum was once invaded by a horde of Orks during the Great Crusade. To their aid came the 13th expeditionary fleet, led personally by Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters. Sarum’s own order of tech-adepts, the Redjak cult, bore witness to the brutal campaign that the Primarch launched and pledged their undying loyalty to the XIIth Legion.
Xel-Oreka took direct part in the Golgothan Slaughter, wanting to study and replicate the Legion’s brutality. When the Horus Heresy erupted, Sarum willingly declared for the Traitors’ cause and continued to supply and arm the World Eaters exclusively. Xel-Oreka would also go on to fight alongside the XIIth Legion, pushing his research to further extremes as the World Eaters furthered their servitude to a new master.
How to unlock the new Warlord
Xel-Oreka will be available as a reward in both tracks of this month’s Battle Pass. The regular Reward Track features Xel-Oreka as its ultimate reward. Complete daily and seasonal missions to earn a wealth of rewards on your path to recruit him, including in-game currency, cards for your selected Preferred Army, and new Dark Mechanicum-themed cosmetics!
Get the most out of your Battle Pass by purchasing the Premium Pass! The Premium Pass unlocks an additional reward track, featuring Xel-Oreka as its very first reward, allowing you to play with him immediately! The Premium Reward Track also includes other high-value rewards such as Legendary Cards, exclusive cosmetics, and a new themed card back.
Upgrade your battle pass for exclusive perks
A Premium Pass lasts until the end of your account’s active reward track at the moment of purchase. Owners of a Premium Pass will have access to the following perks:
- ADDITIONAL reward track, including amazing rewards such as Xel-Oreka, Legendary cards and exclusive cosmetics!
- Guaranteed Veteran Status for the duration of the Battle Pass
- One additional mission every day
Purchasing the Premium Pass also retroactively unlocks the rewards from the previous levels, so if a player has reached, for example, level 25 in their Battle Pass and then purchases the Premium Pass, they will immediately gain access to the additional Premium track rewards for the previous 25 levels.
After this Battle Pass ends, Xel-Oreka will also start featuring in in-game shops and have a chance to appear inside Dark Mechanicum and Crusade crates. Will you follow the path of ultimate devastation?
The Horus Heresy: Legions is available on Steam, iOS and Android.
