Opis
The Horus Heresy spans innumerable desperate battles and bitter grudges –
many shrouded in mystery, or the subject of grim and terrible rumours. The
champions who fight these far-flung battles are unlike any in the galaxy’s
history, warriors armed with inimicable strategies and esoteric weaponry, locked
into struggles across sprawling arcologies, towering citadels, and
claustrophobic tunnels.
In this book, you will find five accounts of
battles from the Age of Darkness, along with the campaign and missions rules to
recreate them – or similar struggles – on the tabletop in games of Warhammer:
The Horus Heresy.
You’ll also find new and updated profiles for five
notable Legiones Astartes units unique to Legions that fought in these battles
– the Night Lords, Iron Warriors, World Eaters, Ultramarines, and Salamanders –
as well as expanded rules for the Emperor’s Children Traitor Legion, and
complete rules for their ascended Daemon Primarch, Fulgrim
Transfigured.
