Description
The Imperium encompasses countless worlds, a newly founded empire already on the brink of ultimate success. At the height of this golden age of conquest, the galaxy finds itself plunged into a Dark Age. Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of the Emperor's armies, turns against his genetic father, and the eighteen Space Marine Legions, once united in a Great Crusade to unite all of Mankind under the Imperial banner, are torn apart by betrayal. This is the Horus Heresy, the bloodiest conflict Humanity has ever known. A civil war of galactic proportions, where superhuman warriors in advanced armor turn their devastating weapons against those they called their brothers. To whom will you pledge your allegiance?
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy is a miniatures game that pits powerful armies against each other in apocalyptic tabletop battles. Choose your favorite faction, Loyalist or Traitor, from the knightly Dark Angels to the duplicitous Alpha Legion, or from the serried ranks of the Solar Auxilia and the war machines of the Legio Titanicus. Assemble your own army from a range of spectacular miniatures, and clash with your fellow players in games of great tactical depth.
