At its height, the Imperium of Mankind spanned countless worlds, a young empire poised to dominate the galaxy. But just as victory seemed certain, betrayal struck. Horus Lupercal, the Emperor’s favoured son and commander of his armies, turned traitor. Once-unified Space Marine Legions are now locked in a bitter civil war, pitting brother against brother. This is the *Horus Heresy*—a cataclysmic war where genetically enhanced warriors wage apocalyptic battles across the stars. The question is: where will your allegiance lie?

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy is a tabletop miniatures wargame that lets you command massive forces in epic confrontations. Choose a side—Loyalist or Traitor—from iconic Legions like the noble Dark Angels or the secretive Alpha Legion, or field armies like the Solar Auxilia or titanic engines of the Legio Titanicus. Build your force from an array of breathtaking models and engage in strategic warfare with other players.
