Warhammer: The Horus Heresy is a miniatures wargame that pits mighty armies against each other in apocalyptic tabletop battles. Choose your favoured Loyalist or Traitor faction – from the knightly Dark Angels to the duplicitous Alpha Legion – or rally the massed ranks of the Solar Auxilia and unleash the devastating war machines of the Legio Titanicus. Build your force from an array of detailed miniatures and engage in battles of immense tactical depth.

This 352-page hardback rulebook contains:

  • Basic principles: The complete Core Rules for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, providing everything you need to get started.
  • Advanced principles: Rules covering Tactical Statuses, Reactions, Psychic Abilities, Vehicle operation, and Battlefield Terrain interaction for deeper strategic play.
  • Rules of battle: A breakdown of the game phases and how to execute a turn effectively.
  • Battles in the Age of Darkness: Guidelines for army building, force organisation, and battlefield setup.
  • Core Mission Pack: Includes three mission scenarios, three deployment maps, and a range of Secondary Objectives to challenge your tactical skills.
  • Armouries of the Age of Darkness: Special rules for key weapons, wargear, and an in-depth look at the six Psychic Disciplines used in the game.

Sebastian N. ★★★★★

I finally got to try out the infantry combat rules with my Dar Legion, and the way it handles unit cohesion feels much more tactical than other systems I've played. The reaction fire mechanic caught me off guard in a good way—it really forces you to think about your advance.

Carter ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by the weight of this book—it feels substantial and durable, like it can survive a few drops on the tabletop. The lore sections are detailed enough to get me excited about building a Traitor force for the first time.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The rulebook layout makes it easy to flip between army lists and scenarios during a game, and I’ve already used the crusade force organization chart to build my first list. The hardcover feels sturdy enough for heavy table use.
