Veteran Tactical Squad, Legion (Compulsory) [110pts] Selections: 4x Bolt Pistol, 4x Bolter, 4x Chainswords/Combat Blades, 4x Veteran Space Marines, Legion, Vexilla, Legion Magnus was enraged by Ahriman's audacious spell and what it had done to his sons, but was secretly pleased with the level of sorcerous knowledge the Legion had attained through their metamorphosis. Confronting the cabal who had carried out the Rubric, Magnus nearly slew Ahriman in his rage, but Tzeentch intervened personally, sparing Ahriman's life, for he had proven to be a useful pawn and a living exemplar of the power of change. However, there were those primarchs who raised their voices in dissent, arguing amongst themselves and with the Emperor that Librarians should not be permitted within the ranks of the Astartes. th and 42 nd Sarcosan Voltigeurs - Recent arrivals on Terra in the wake of the Dark Angels campaign to bring their homeworld to Imperial Compliance. Each regiment comprised approximately 3,000 light infantry with a small detachment of Terranic Overseers. Games Workshop are always saying that in the far future, there is only war. And that's an issue I never really considered when I was thinking about my tapestry of interwoven games on a timeline of the Imperium. I was thinking about how different Betrayal at Calth was to Deathwatch: Overkill. I hadn't considered the fact that, in a lot of cases, these board games could end up being two-player squad-based games about rival factions having a tussle.

However, there were those primarchs such as Leman Russ of the Space Wolves, Mortarion of the Death Guard and Corvus Corax of the Raven Guard who could never bring themselves to fully trust Magnus and his Thousand Sons because of their own strong feelings against the use of sorcery and psykers in general. This would allow these gifted battle-brothers to be of use to their Legion without presenting any danger to their fellows or to the civilians of the Imperium. Magnus and a number of other primarchs created a program for the training and development of psyker Astartes that supplemented the traditional process for creating a new Space Marine.A few of the cards have special actions, such as giving you the choice to boost the chances of activating or cancelling a psychic power (usually in exchange for a potential loss elsewhere), but it really is a very simple system that keeps the action fast-paced and brutal. Great Company Dekk-Tra (Thirteen), "The Corpse-renders", commanded by Jarl Jorin Bloodhowl. 600 Space Marines, comprising pursuit units and light assault infantry. Constantin Valdor, Captain-General of the Legio Custodes - Granted the Emperor's Seal and the right to mete High Justice within His realms. rd Ydranian Seekers Regiment - Light infantry from the Ydran Cluster, notably a sector of Human-occupied space devastated by rogue psykers prior to Imperial Compliance at the hands of the Death Guard. Organised into three cohorts of 4,000 soldiers each and believed equipped with a variety of non-standard psi-warding technologies -- the effectiveness of which was deemed dubious by the Mechanicum.

Sydonian Taghmata Elements Ekriss, Norne and Ifrem Taghma - A small force of Mechanicum warriors, attached to the Censure Host as observers and to affect the inspection and potential dismantling of any Mechanicum assets or prohibited technology present on Prospero. (Note that the inclusion of this force seems to have been in response to a late and direct request from the Fabricator-General of Mars.

High Marshal Markas Rhone, Commander of the 3 rd Terranic Auxilia and senior officer of the Excertus Imperialis. After the psychic phase, there is a movement phase, and this is where the game gets a little... peculiar. The players roll for initiative (Space Wolves break ties), with the winner moving all of his or her units first. Models are moved individually, not by squad, and there are basic rules to govern that movement: Models only move orthogonally, and you cannot have more than four marines in a single space (custodians and terminators count as two). Marines from opposing factions can never be in the same space. This great conclave, later known to Imperial historitors as the Council of Nikaea, consisted of the primarchs as well as Imperial officials drawn from all the various adepta of the Imperium. From His throne upon a high dais, the Emperor presided over the proceedings on Nikaea in an ancient amphitheatre as each side in the debate made their presentations to Him. Looking for some input on list building just from the models that come with the Burning of Prospero boxed game. I've got them mostly painted and plan to enjoy the game itself with some friends and with another group that will teach me the basis of the rules of Horus Heresy. The only thing is I've been building a list in battlescribe and was looking for some input to get two even legal lists of 1,000 points. Since I paid for the whole sprue, I'm gonna use the whole sprue so I have nearly the all modeled magnetized barring some exceptions(see SoS). The list is not defined to be efficient but the intent was to pad things out neatly into 1k pts so nearly all infantry.

As the evidence of Magnus' continued practice of sorcery became apparent, the Emperor barely contained His wrath as he pronounced judgement on the primarch of the Thousand Sons, for He had entrusted His son years before to obey His bidding and foreswear the use of such occult practices because of the dangers inherent to the Warp. Throughout the Great Crusade, the psychic talents of the Thousand Sons proved useful innumerable times as the XV th Legion fought bravely in multiple campaigns, leaving few in doubt of their achievements. Being a roster of those military formations and notable leaders to have stood in defence of Prospero during the assault of the Imperial Censure Host in 004.M31. All those here named are declared Traitoris Extremis for the base act of raising arms against the rightfully empowered agents of the Emperor of Mankind, and all rights of sanctuary or redress under Imperial law are forfeit. Troubled by the revelations of Horus' betrayal and the coming galactic civil war, Magnus risked further censure from his father by employing the use of a daemonic spell to warn the Emperor. Why Magnus chose to warn his father in this fashion is not clear, for surely he knew the Emperor would recognise the taint of Chaos on this forbidden sorcery. Nevertheless, the cabal of Thousand Sons Sorcerers joined their Primarch to cast this mighty spell, projecting the potent conjuration towards Terra through time and space. Magnus' spell breached the protective wards and hexes around the Imperial Palace and penetrated the subterranean levels of the Palace's dungeon deep within the earth. The spell lanced directly into the Emperor's brain, instantaneously filling him with the knowledge of the dark precognitive vision of Magnus and of the details of Horus' corruption by the Dark Gods. The spell also disrupted the wards surrounding the Emperor's secret construction of a new extension into the Webway from Terra and led to the deaths of hundreds of Adeptus Mechanicus Tech-priests and Servitors who were suddenly exposed to the perils of the Warp. Keeping true to Games Workshop's design ethos, the game is light on rules, but offers some decent tactical decisions offset by plenty of dice rolling. It has a really meaty theme, and beautiful miniatures that come with superb building instructions and go together well. There are hardly any tokens or fiddly exceptions to the main rules set, so when you are playing you actually feel like you are playing, rather than working at playing. It is... you know... a Games Workshop game, with all the triumphs and tribulations that entails.As the Space Wolves drew first blood, Prospero’s military responded. The citizen militias of Tizca rose in defence of their city, gathering what arms they could and taking up firing positions on rooftops and at windows. No one was fool enough to think they would be anything more than irritants to the Space Wolves, but to let the invaders simply walk into Tizca without a fight was as abhorrent as it was unthinkable.
