The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth is a stand-alone miniature wargame released by Games Workshop. Closely related to Warhammer 40,000, it covers the events of the Battle of Calth during the Horus Heresy. Emphasising fast-paced squad-based combat during six missions, it allows players to choose their side and command a force of miniatures during one of the iconic battles of the Horus Heresy.[1]

Description
It is the 31st Millennium. The galaxy is aflame.[1]
Enlightenment and knowledge are sundered; the Age of Darkness has begun in earnest. The Emperor’s glorious vision for humanity lies in ruins as his favoured son, Horus, has rejected his father’s light and embraced the corrupting tendrils of Chaos. Civil war has broken out amongst the Space Marines — once brothers, fighting side by side as the galaxy’s protectors, they are now a force divided. Some remain loyal to the Emperor, others have sided with the Warmaster. Nothing is certain, everything is at stake, and the Imperium is split down the middle...[1]
