Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness

About this board game

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness is a tabletop battle game for 2–8 players, with games lasting about 180 minutes. Set during the galaxy-spanning civil war known as the Horus Heresy, it puts mighty armies of superhuman warriors against one another in apocalyptic conflicts.

Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of the Emperor’s armies, has turned against his gene-father. Half of the eighteen great Space Marine Legions have joined the traitorous Warmaster, while the rest remain loyal to the Emperor. Across the Imperium, brother fights brother as vast armies turn their weapons upon each other.

Choose a favoured Legion, from the knightly Dark Angels to the duplicitous Alpha Legion, then build your force from spectacular Citadel and Forge World miniatures. The game is designed for battles of staggering tactical depth, with players creating opposing armies and clashing across the worlds of the Age of Darkness.

• A massive rulebook covering the setting, stories, photography, art, and core rules
• 54 Citadel miniatures for two opposing forces or a larger Legion army
• A massive Spartan Assault Tank
• MKVI “Corvus Armour” Tactical Marines
• Game accessories and rules reference materials

The boxed set provides a substantial first step into the Horus Heresy, allowing players to begin with out-of-the-box forces or expand their own Legion collection. With its combination of detailed miniatures, rich setting material, and large-scale tabletop warfare, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness brings one of the defining conflicts of the Imperium to the gaming table.
