Description
The Horus Heresy : Battles in the Age of Darkness is a tabletop game for two or more players, where you command an army of Forge World and Citadel models which represent either those Loyalist forces who fight in the name of the Emperor, or the Traitors who have chosen to side with Warmaster Horus.[2]
