- Bring the Horus Heresy to life by leading your Legiones Astartes into battle
- Includes a 336-page rulebook, packed with lore and rules for this updated edition
An age of darkness has fallen across the galaxy. Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of the Emperor's armies, has turned against his genetic father, plunging the Imperium into bloody war. Of the eighteen great Space Marine Legions, the finest soldiers of mankind, half have sided with the treacherous Warmaster, while the rest stand firm with the Emperor. It is a war of brother against brother, Space Marine against Space Marine, in which the might of the Imperium's vast armies has been turned upon itself in a cataclysm of fire and blood.
In Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, you lead mighty armies of superhuman warriors against each other in apocalyptic tabletop battles. Choose your preferred Legion, from the knightly Dark Angels to the duplicitous Alpha Legion, build your own army from an assortment of spectacular Citadel and Forge World miniatures, and engage other players in games of impressive tactical depth. The history of the Horus Heresy is the cornerstone of the rich history of Warhammer 40,000, and this game set is the perfect first step into the epic conflicts that reshaped the galaxy.
The titanic game set Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness contains a veritable treasure trove of content, from a massive rulebook that explains the setting and stories of the Horus Heresy, and also includes magnificent photographs and artwork, and all the basic rules needed to play. The box also contains 54 Citadel miniatures – including a massive Spartan Assault Tank and a host of Tactical Marines in Mark VI "Corvus" armour – from which you can build two opposing armies and play straight out of the box, or build a formidable Legion force for yourself. You also get all the game accessories and rules reference material you need to immerse yourself in the worlds of the Age of Darkness.
