“You will witness how you send your warriors to their deaths.”
– Itzameni Yaxint

When the Horus Heresy tore the Imperium asunder, the great Knight Houses were forced to choose where their oaths truly lay. In the case of House Malinax, however, their allegiance was decided by where their oaths did not lie, and they knelt to the Warmaster’s promises of steel and glory.

Now, one of Malinax’s most formidable scions takes to the battlefield. Itzameni Yaxint joins Warhammer The Horus Heresy: Legions as a new Pilot in this month’s Knight Houses Battle Pass. Will you bind your will to the throne mechanicum and blast your way to victory? Keep reading to learn how to unlock her.


Scion of Malinax

Despite garnering a magnificent record during the waning years of the Great Crusade, the isolation of its homeworld and the uneasy alliance through which the Forge World of Xana II was incorporated into the Imperium ensured that House Malinax gained a sinister reputation.

In their years of isolation since the civil war’s outbreak, the forges of Xana had not been idle, and evidence began to amass that a vast and well-guarded stockpile of munitions and war machines had been built up in the system. House Malinax would go on to serve at the whims of the Lords of Xana, and willingly follow them into damnation after Rogal Dorn declared the Forge World Traitoris Perditia. Some looked at this outcome with dread, but others, such as Itzameni Yaxint, saw this as only a new opportunity to earn new glories in battle.


How to unlock the new Warlord

Itzameni Yaxint will be available as a reward in both tracks of this month’s Battle Pass. The regular Reward Track features Itzameni Yaxint 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 Knight Houses-themed cosmetics!

Get the most out of your Battle Pass by purchasing the Premium Pass! The Premium Pass unlocks an additional reward track, featuring Itzameni Yaxint 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 Itzameni YaxintLegendary 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, Itzameni Yaxint will also start featuring in in-game shops and have a chance to appear inside Knight Houses and Crusade crates. Will you uphold your oaths with iron resolve, or embrace the ruthless ambition of House Malinax? Sit on the Throne Mechanicum. Bind with the machine. Make the battlefield remember your legacy.
