Games Workshop 60010101001" Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth (Eng)

Product Information

Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines Legion, prior to the teleportation assault on the Zetsun Verid Fleet Yard High above Calth, in the master control room of the Zetsun Verid Fleet Yard, Roboute Guilliman confronted Kor Phaeron. Instead of fighting the Primarch in honourable combat, the Word Bearers' First Captain resorted to using the sorcerous abilities granted him by the Chaos Gods, slamming the Primarch of the XIII th Legion against the chamber wall with a column of wretched, living darkness that burst forth from the palm of his right hand. Then the angel took up the censer and filled it with fire of the altar and cast it down to the land; and there followed earthquake, thunder, lightning and death." The forces of Chaos, acting through the Warmaster Horus, are making their move on the Emperor of Mankind. On the planet Calth, the Word Bearers – once loyal to the Emperor, now twisted by resentment and evil – chase down their former brothers, the Ultramarines. This two player game sets out scenarios that tell the story of this dark betrayal on Calth.

Cataphractii Terminators – weapon options include combi bolters, power fists, lightning claws, chain fists, power swords, heavy flamers and grenade harnesses

The Betrayal at Calth

Once the price reduction happens on Friday, no one else will ever get access to this armor ever again. Period. It will never be for sale, you cannot buy it as DLC, it will never be given out to anyone else for any reason. This armor marks you as an early adopter of our game and we honestly can't thank you enough. The surface of Calth was no longer a safe environment for human habitation or any form of organic life, nor was it possible to evacuate the planet's remaining population in time. Therefore, Captain Ventanus sent out a warning over the planetary Vox and data network to all citizens, soldiers of the Imperial Army, Astartes of the XIII th Legion, and any other loyal servant of the Imperium, to move with all haste to the subterranean arcology or arcology system closest to them. For some of you, that's maybe already a dealbreaker. But listen – don't dismiss the process of assembling your miniatures until you've given it a try. I find it a really calming experience, a bit of a chill-out, as I play some music and carefully assemble each little guy. And the game comes with a lot of options in the building process too – you can choose, to an extent, which weapons to glue onto your miniatures. Assembling on your own means you can pose the miniatures how you wish too. A raised arm here, a lean there, a head turned this way or that. It's an enjoyable process, I think, and never really feels like work. Low Ammo: Whenever a unit makes a Shoot action, halve the Firepower of each model’s Ranged Weapon (rounding up). Note that this does not affect Critical Effects – for example, a Plasma Gun’s critical effect still adds 4 dice to the roll. Please note these pictures were sent to US via an anonymous source.

Finally, the Word Bearers player sets up his Legion Veteran Tactical Squad anywhere in the Word Bearers Deployment Zone, and sets up Sor Gharax in the Access Way hex. There were many portents of the tragedy soon to unfold upon Calth. Given the extraordinary thoroughness with which the XIII th Legion maintained its readiness, it might have been considered tragic, or incompetent, that so few were heeded. The first signs of the Word Bearers betrayal was the minor interruption in Vox traffic around Calth that was attributed to solar distortion -- the void was known to forever creak and whisper around the audible and electromagnetic ranges. Soon there were various reports of a voice chanting over Calthian Vox-links in Calth space. This eerie chanting soon interfered with the main orbital data-feed between the orbital installations and the surface of Calth for several seconds. An hour later, there were two more bursts of such interference, the source of which remained undetermined. Calth Communications Control reported an hour later that there were "a series of malfunction events" and warned that further communication disruptions might be expected during the day until the problem was identified. An hour after that, on the night side of Calth, the first of the bad dreams began.

VR Mode: The “human-scale” view of Space Marine combat gives the player the feeling of being on the battlefield in a world first VR game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. As a result of the devastation wrought by the Word Bearers during the Calth Atrocity upon the Veridia System's sun, future generations of Calth's people were required to live deep underground in massive subterranean hive cities to escape their world's radiation-scorched, airless surface.

tide of assault nor blunt the zealous fury of the Legiones Astartes Word Bearers. Valiant troopers died by the thousand, and at last the Word Bearers' intent in boarding specific orbital defence platforms was revealed as the same scene was enacted upon the bridges of scores of defence platforms. Those commanders taken alive were forced to bear witness to the destruction heaped upon the world whose defence they were sworn to. Compelled to watch by the vice-like grip of a Word Bearers Dark Apostle or other senior officer, the last sight these men and women saw served as a vital component in the vast There are, however, a couple of things that frustrated me as a board game player: One of the cool elements of the game is the ability of players to customize their forces before every battle, choosing which heavy weapons to arm their men with and how to equip their sergeants. But, the models need to be assembled with glue, making them impossible to change after they have been put together (though experienced modelers can get around this using magnets or pins or some other clever devise, that will be beyond the skills of most novices). As a result, you either have to buy extra models, or use models that don’t actually carry the weapons they supposedly have. The other problem is that once you assemble the mighty (and mighty big) dreadnought model, it will no longer fit in the box. If they had only made the box a quarter of an inch deeper, this wouldn’t have been an issue. Neither of these issues really affects the enjoyment of the game, but they are annoying.Five Cataphractii Terminators, with weapon options including combi bolters, power fists, lightning claws, chain fists, power swords, heavy flamers, and grenade harnesses Ultramarines rally to defend Macragge's Honour from the Daemonic forces unleashed by the Word Bearers When the Horus Heresy ended and Roboute Guilliman initiated the Second Founding and the Reformation of the Imperium as its first Lord Commander, he would get his wish, and the Imperium would once more make use of psychic powers against the forces of Chaos despite the inherent dangers.
