WARHAMMER: THE HORUS HERESY

LEGIONS IMPERIALIS RULEBOOK

V1.1
T hese documents collect amendments to the rules and present our responses to players’ frequently asked questions.
As they’re revised regularly, each of these documents has a version number; where a version number has a letter,
e.g., 1.1a, this means it has had a local amendment, only in that language, to clarify a translation issue or other minor
correction. When a document is revised, the version number will be incremented and newly updated entries will be
highlighted in blue, while entirely new additions will be highlighted in magenta.
