Others supported Horus and took his side. This led to envy from some of his brothers, who thought that they deserved the position of Warmaster. He left the Crusade in the hands of the Primarchs and promoted Primarch Horus of the Lunar Wolves Legion to the new position of “Warmaster”, thus raising him above the other Primarchs. Each Primarch commanded a Space Marines Legion which was enhanced with their genetic material, so each legion had the characteristics, qualities, philosophy, and nature of their respective Primarch.In the 31st century, in the midst of the Great Crusade, the Emperor suddenly declared that he intended to return to Terra. The Emperor of Mankind created 20 immortal superhuman beings as his “sons”, called the “ Primarchs“. Worlds which failed or refused to comply were eradicated, including their often human inhabitants. With a vast Imperial Army and 20 Legions of genetically enhanced trans-human warrior-monks called Adeptus Astartes (better known as Space Marines), the Empire of Mankind sought to subjugate and unite all inhabited words, purging them of their own “heathen” beliefs, and converting them to the Imperial Truth. In this time, mankind was still united and on the Great Crusade with the ultimate goal of conquering and “illuminating” the entire galaxy. It took place 10,000 years before the events portrayed in the Warhammer 40k system. The “Horus Heresy” was the key event and is the back story of the Warhammer 40k universe. The Imperium of Man, ruled by an autocratic God-Emperor, is at constant war with various alien (“xenos”) races and the forces of Chaos which consist of corrupted former Imperial troops and Chaos demons, ruled by the four Gods of Chaos Khorne, Nurgle, Slaneesh, and Tzeench. In this universe, “There Is Only War” (the 40k catchphrase). Warhammer 40k takes place in a dystopic science-fantasy universe in the early 41st century.

The other big announcement of the evening was a massive new expansion for one of Games Workshop’s most vibrant lines, a system called Necromunda.

The presenters from Games Workshop indicated it’s less of a full reboot of the game, and more of a refinement. Diehard fans shouldn’t get too worried about that, however. It will also include a revised core rulebook, which will also be sold separately. The new boxed set will feature multipart plastic miniatures, hopefully bringing down the price and making things a bit easier to build. The Horus Heresy miniatures game was first published in 2012, and consists of multiple campaign books along with an entire line of miniatures - many of them quite expensive, as they’re cast in hard resin.


would eventually become the Sons of Horus.
