At the very outset of the Horus Heresy, Mars – the cradle of Imperial industry and technology – turned its back on the Emperor, declaring its secession from Imperial rule. Like a coiled viper poised at the gates of Terra, Mars became a focal point of the Loyalist's greatest fears, as its forges and factories churned out countless machines of war to bolster the Traitor legions. Loyalist forces launched countless desperate raids throughout the civil war in an attempt to disrupt Mars’ war production, but in the end, the full might of the Red Planet would descend upon the Sol System, heralding a storm of destruction.
This Warhammer: The Horus Heresy expansion book delves deep into the brutal conflict on Mars, revealing the bitter and bloody struggle that took place on the forge world during the Age of Darkness. With thematic missions, a new campaign system, and rules for additional units, you can recreate these critical battles and bring the Martian Civil War to life on your tabletop.
