Incoming - The Horus Heresy

What is it?

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness launches the new edition of the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy game.

Set 10,000 years before the events of Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy is set amidst the turmoil and strife of the Imperium of Mankind’s great galactic civil war, as the eponymous traitor and Warmaster, Horus Lupercal turned brother against brother as he betrayed his father, The Emperor of Mankind, to watch the galaxy burn.

The Age of Darkness boxed set contains everything that you need in order to dive right in with the new Horus Heresy game, including; 54 plastic Miniatures, a 336-page hardback rulebook, dice, templates, measuring sticks, transfers and reference sheets.

The 54 miniatures in the set are comprised of 44 all-new miniatures, as well as 10 existing miniatures. Together, these are: 1x Legion Praetor with Power Sword; 1x Legion Praetor with Power Axe; 40x MKVI Space Marine Legionaries in Power Armour; 1x Contemptor Dreadnought; 1x Spartan Assault Tank, and; 10x (pre-existing) Cataphractii Terminators. The boxed set also includes an introductory army list, allowing you to get playing games of The Horus Heresy straight away with no additional purchases necessary.

It should also be mentioned that nearly all the new models have rules allowing them to be used in games of Warhammer 40,000.
