Opis
The Imperium stretches across countless worlds, a newborn empire on the
brink of ultimate victory. Yet at the peak of this golden age of conquest, the
galaxy has been plunged into an Age of Darkness. Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of
the Emperor’s armies, has turned against his gene-father, and the eighteen
Space Marine Legions, once united in a Great Crusade to consolidate all
Humanity beneath the Emperor’s banner, are riven by betrayal. This is the Horus
Heresy – the bloodiest conflict Humanity has ever known. Civil war on a galactic
scale, in which superhuman soldiers clad in advanced armour turn devastating
weapons upon those they called brothers. Where do your loyalties
lie?
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy is a miniatures wargame that pits mighty
armies against each other in apocalyptic tabletop battles. Choose your favoured
Loyalist or Traitor faction – from the knightly Dark Angels to the duplicitous
Alpha Legion – or from the massed ranks of the Solar Auxilia and the war
machines of the Legio Titanicus. Build your army from a range of spectacular
miniatures, and clash with fellow players in wargames of staggering tactical
depth.
