f all the dark legends spawned by the daemonic incursions that harrowed the Imperium during the Age of Darkness, that of Ka’bandha cast the darkest shadow across history. This bat-winged terror, clad in heavy bronze plate and capable of cleaving a dozen men in twain with each swing of its talons and hell-forged weapons, would herald the end for dozens of Imperial worlds, scouring them clean with fire and fury.

Arch-enemy of the IXth Legion, Ka'bandha is one of the most ferocious daemons ever encountered by humanity. Armed with an ornate daemonic axe and whip, he cut a bloody swathe through the sons of Sanguinius. From his hellish visage to his brutal bronze armour and vast wings, Ka'bandha is a paragon of atavistic fury – and a wonderful project for painters who want to create a stunning centrepiece for their Warhammer: The Horus Heresy forces. He can be assembled with a daemonic helm or a bare, snarling head. Underneath one of his mighty hooves sits a pile of rubble alongside an Astartes corpse, and a ruined Leviathan Dreadnought belonging to the Blood Angels Legion.
