LEGIONES ASTARTES: AGE OF DARKNESS (ENG)

The Age of Darkness has dawned in the galaxy. Horus Lupercal, commander of the Emperor's forces, has turned against his father and led the Empire into a bloody civil war. Of the eighteen magnificent legions of Space Marines, humanity's finest soldiers, half have sided with the treacherous Warmaster, while the rest are loyal to the Emperor. It is a war of brother against brother, with the might of the Empire's vast armies turned against each other in a cataclysm of fire and blood.

In Warhammer: Heresy of Horus, you will face off against mighty armies of superhuman warriors in apocalyptic tabletop battles. Choose your favourite Legion, from the chivalrous Dark Angels to the hypocritical Alpha Legion, build your own army from an array of spectacular Citadel and Forge World figures, and face off against other players in war games of stunning tactical depth. The story of the Horus Heresy is the foundation of Warhammer 40,000's rich history, and this boxed game is the perfect first step to joining the epic conflicts that reshaped the galaxy.
