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 from the massed ranks of the Solar Auxilia and the war machines of the Legio Titanicus. Build your army from a range of spectacular miniatures, and clash with fellow players in wargames of staggering tactical depth.
