Horus Heresy is an epic board game for two players set in the dark future of Games Workshop's pre-eminent Warhammer 40,000 universe. Each player commands vast legions in a pitched battle across the now war-torn surface of Terra, birthplace of the human race. The forces of the Imperium and Chaos will clash, rocking the very foundation of humanity. As the Imperial player you are the Emperor of Holy Terra himself, the last beacon of hope for the future of all mankind, who stands within the Imperial Palace surrounded by a cadre of his elite personal guard, the Adeptus Custodes. Awaiting your command are loyalist Imperial forces including three legions of loyal Space Marines, innumerable mass regiments of infantry and Imperial tank divisions rumbling across the landscape, defense laser batteries scanning the horizon for any hint of the forces of Chaos, and lumbering across the landscape – the last of the massive Imperial Titans, enormous walking temples of war, towering overhead and bristling with armament. You may choose instead to callously betray the Imperium of Man and personally lead the attack on Terra in the role of the Warmaster Horus, once the most trusted and loved scion of the Emperor, now turned entirely away from sanity and hope, twisted beyond recognition by the insidious taint of Chaos. Whether your allegiance is honorable or profane, Horus Heresy demands you bring every last shred of your tactical and strategic ability to the table. This is not a simplistic affair fought between a handful of skirmishing units, with individual combatants sprinting between areas of sparse cover across an open battlefield. This is war on an epic and unimaginable scale, the scope and significance of which has never been seen before or since! Can Horus succeed in this profane quest to crush the Imperium beneath his corrupted heel, drowning the galaxy in a flood of Chaos and destruction, or will the steadfast Holy Emperor of Mankind break the bloody siege, turning the tide of assault against the cruel machinations of the Dark Powers of the Warp? You will decide which direction the winds of fate will blow, for this is the moment of truth, and we hope to see you there! On the thirteenth day of Secundus, the bombardment began... In the greatest betrayal the universe has ever known, the Warmaster Horus - once humanity's greatest general, now corrupted by Chaos - has turned against the Emperor and hurled the Imperium of Man into ferocious civil war. The galactic conflict has risen to its climax. The Warmaster's ruinous legions have assaulted Holy Terra itself, the Emperor's seat. Here the fate of humanity hangs in the balance during the greatest military campaign ever seen. In the Horus Heresy board game, this legendary battle unfolds across the razed plains of Terra and in the frozen orbit above. Deadly fighting ranges from the Emperor's golden Inner Palace to Horus's flagship, the Vengeful Spirit. Taking the side of either traitor or loyalist, two players control either fearless Space Marine legions or deviant Chaos Space Marines, mighty Titans, Imperial Armies both loyal and traitorous, and a fearsome array of other units, including the Emperor and Horus themselves. An innovative order and initiative system forces each side to carefully consider the commands they issue to their troops. A dramatic, card driven combat system incorporates escalating damage, gives players the opportunity to allocate resources between attack and defense, and brings to bear the unique special powers of each unit type, from fortification-destroying Titans to the perverse daemons of Chaos. Brother fights brother, and the universe hangs in the balance! Horus Heresy includes over 120 detailed miniature models including 10 plastic terrain pieces, and more than 200 cards to bring this sweeping conflict to life on a stunning map of the war-torn Terra.
