Today is a big day for collectors who respect the Word Bearers Legion from Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, backstabbing, betrayals, and Chaos. JoyToy has opened pre-orders for the figure of the first Chaplain Erebus.
Thanks to a 12% discount, this 1/18 scale collectible can now be purchased for $76.56 (6434 rubles).
The figure's height is 12.5 cm, and its width is 8.1 cm. The set for the famous arch-heretic includes a plasma pistol, interchangeable hands, a stand, a backpack, and the Crozius Maleficum — an eternally burning staff adorned with the defiled remnants of Imperial doctrine, and a symbol of Erebus's power.
The new product is likely to be shipped in December 2026, but JoyToy employees may well release the figure earlier.
Erebus is rightfully considered the chief architect of the Horus Heresy, having unleashed the most destructive civil war in human history. The universal hatred of fans for him is due to the fact that his character has no noble or tragic traits that would justify his betrayal.

While other "villains" fell due to severe psychological trauma, Erebus destroyed humanity's hopes for a bright future solely for personal power and ambition. People are deeply outraged by his phenomenal cowardice, because despite all his arrogance, he instantly flees with the help of magic as soon as he encounters a superior opponent. The final trigger for universal contempt was his treacherous murder of Argel Tal.
