Horus Heresy Board Game

Product Information

There is a whole sprue just full of the different weapon loadouts. I believe keen gamers use drilled holes and magnets to allow weapon swapping after the build is complete. I have not done this. Tanks – A – Lot

However, an unforeseen twist awaited them all: Horus’ brother, Magnus the Red, the Primarch of the Thousand Sons, had delved deep into the forbidden arts of sorcery and was determined not to let his brother succumb to the Warp’s temptations. The colossal cyclopean figure materialised within Horus’ hallucination, revealing the true identity of the chaplain and beseeching Horus not to yield to the snares of Chaos. Regrettably, Horus had already made up his mind, convinced that he alone deserved godhood, rather than the Emperor. He accepted the Chaos Gods’ offer to join their cause, in return for which they healed his grievous wound and bestowed upon him the formidable powers of the Warp. The pact between Horus and the Chaos Gods was straightforward: “Deliver us the Emperor, and we shall bestow upon you dominion over the galaxy.” Swaying The Legions Horus Heresy may self style itself the Age of Darkness but I feel this set ushers in an era of fun and entertainment. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed building my models and seeing them arrayed on the battlefield and I haven’t even started the joy of painting them all yet or adding the transfers. I treasure the book and find myself absently stroking it at times and I look forward to many battles against the Legions of the Heretics.There are 4 different head types and given that there are whole sprues of the various options and accessories you could build all your boxful of marines as 40 unique models. Terminators – They Can Go Around Killing People In the Signus Cluster, Sanguinius and the Blood Angelsfaced a perilous encounter with Daemonic forces led by Kyriss the Perverse and Ka’Bandha, narrowly escaping the clutches of corruption. Schism Of Mars (005-006.M31) The mouldings are all crisp and clear of flash. GW plastic is easy to work with for tidying up sprue marks etc. The level of detail is intense. Assembly is straightforward and the parts all fit together really well. I’ve built a lot of plastic kits: German, Japanese, American and these are the most satisfying. But that brings us to the game play. Even the best components in the world won’t matter if the game play is unengaging. Fortunately, that’s not the case with Horus Heresy. While the game play isn’t perfect, it’s still a very well thought out game. One of the problems though is the game is almost a little too complicated for it’s own good. I feel like the designer might have gone overboard in certain areas. An Age of Darkness has descended upon the galaxy. Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of the Emperor’s armies, has turned against his gene-father and sent the Imperium spiralling into bloody civil war. Of the eighteen great Space Marine Legions, finest of all humanity’s soldiers, fully half have sided with the traitorous Warmaster, while the remainder stand staunchly loyal to the Emperor. It is a war of brother against brother, Space Marine against Space Marine, which has seen the might of the Imperium’s vast armies turned upon itself in a cataclysm of fire and blood.

In his determined effort to alert the Emperor, Magnus directed a powerful psychic transmission that shattered the Imperial Palace’s psychic defences on Terra. This breach not only obliterated all the protective wards the Emperor had meticulously established but also resulted in the unintended destruction of the Emperor’s clandestine project: a physical gateway intended for the Emperor’s invasion of the Webway, where he would take the battle to the Aeldari.

The Horus Heresy is a tactical tabletop game where players battle it out using tactics of the various Space Marine Legions of the 31st Millennium.Renouncing his allegiance to the Emperor, Horus led his Legion into the dark embrace of the Chaos Gods. Horus’ strategic brilliance became evident as he successfully converted half of the Legions, along with numerous regiments from the Imperial Army and several Titan Legions, to his cause. In his eyes, the Emperor was revealed as a man unworthy of the admiration and loyalty of humanity.

During the arcane rituals, Horus’ consciousness was transported into the perilous realm of the Warp. There, Erebus, cunningly disguised as Hastur Sejanus, Horus’ closest confidant, unveiled a chilling vision of the future that would result from his actions: an Imperium characterised by repression, violence, and superstition, where the Emperor and some of the Primarchs (excluding Horus) were elevated to divine status by fervent and uninformed masses of humanity. In this fabricated reality, the Chaos Gods portrayed themselves as victims of the Emperor’s overwhelming psychic might, disinterested in material world domination.

Imperium Secundus faced continuous internal strife, primarily due to political clashes between Guillimanand Lion El’Jonson. Sanguinius, unable to mediate between the two, had visions revealing that the Emperor lived and Terra persisted. These revelations, coupled with the constant disagreements among the ruling triumvirate, led to the dissolution of Imperium Secundus. Although Sanguinius, Roboute Guilliman, and Lion El’Jonson attempted to breach the Ruinstorm and reach Terra, only Sanguinius and the Blood Angels succeeded.
