Fellowship, commanded by Hathor Maat - 8,200 Space Marines, reinforced from recent campaigns to near full strength. The minority of Thousand Sons Astartes who did possess psychic abilities and so did not succumb to the Rubric soon found their psychic abilities increased to a tremendous degree by the power of the spell. The ritual also accomplished its goal, halting the dreaded mutations, both in the surviving sorcerers and their undead brethren.

The Thousand Sons' line could not hold against the unbridled savagery of Leman Russ, as their final stand was made in the shadow of the Pyramid of Photep. Shards of crystalline glass floated on the waters surrounding Magnus the Red’s lair. The surviving populace of Tizca, who had escaped the initial wrath of the invaders, sheltered within. And everything looks beautiful (obviously), and the rules are super-streamlined and easy to learn, and the scenarios are fun and varied, and the asymmetric forces create interesting dynamics, and the combat system is clean and effective, and... and... dammit. Legio Mortis - Twelve Battle Titans of the "Death's Heads," forming two full maniples and one demi-maniple, including the Warlord-class Aeterna Virtus as its command element.

Great Company Dekk-Tra (Thirteen), "The Corpse-renders", commanded by Jarl Jorin Bloodhowl. 600 Space Marines, comprising pursuit units and light assault infantry. Being those units that were assembled on the Throneworld of Terra to prosecute the Writ of Censure issued by the Emperor's hand in 004.M31 and decreeing that Magnus the Red, Lord of Prospero and the XV Legion of the Legio Astartes, be brought in disgrace to Terra, there to face the judgement of his father for violation of the Edicts of Nikaea. At the Council of Nikea the Emperor had personally declared that the deployment of Librarians and the use of psychic powers by any and all members of the Legiones Astartes was from that point on forbidden. He further threatened that any who transgressed against this announcement would be declared his enemy and suffer extreme retributive punishment. This judgement rested heavily on the shoulders of the Thousand Sons Space Marine Legion and their Primarch, Magnus the Red, who not only possessed and advocated the use of psychic powers themselves, but had felt personally unfairly judged and rejected by the Emperor at the Council, perceiving the whole affair as more of a rigged "Trial of Magnus" than anything else. [1a] The Flesh-Change was much feared amongst the Thousand Sons, as the spiral of degenerative mutation ultimately reduced a proud Thousand Sons Astartes into a mindless mutant abomination similar to a Chaos Spawn. The majority of those Thousand Sons afflicted by the Flesh-Change were put into stasis by the Legion in the hope that someday in the future a cure would be found that could reverse the onset of these crippling mutations.

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.

Trust me when I say I've been wrestling with this opinion for a while now. I've postponed and rewritten this review several times already; but the end result is always the same. Surely I am not the only person excited at the prospect of being able to lay out a row of Games Workshop games that accurately charts the timeline of the Imperium, highlighting the historic moments that shaped the setting I love so much." It doesn't help that Games Workshop have done everything possible to make the two games feel so similar. Both games have the "Horus Heresy" branding. Both games have three-word names beginning with "B." Both games have the same tag line: "A miniatures game of desperate battle in the 31st Millennium." They have almost identical box art. They have the same graphic design in the rules book. They...

Like their gene-father, the Thousand Sons had inherited powerful psychic talents, as their gene-seed organs possessed their primarch's own psychically-potent genes. However, the Legion's gene-seed was also genetically unstable, and often produced unwanted mutations known as the "Flesh-Change" by the Legionaries.The Battle of Prospero, also referred to as the First Battle of Prospero, the Scouring of Prospero, the Desolation of Prospero, the Burning of Prospero and the Fall of Prospero, was the name given by later Imperial scholars to the sanctioned Imperial military reprisal against the Thousand Sons Legion's homeworld of Prospero near the start of the Horus Heresy in 004.M31. Yes, I know they're part of the same series, so all these similarities make sense. I applaud the decision to have a sense of consistency and coherency across a product line. But I'm not finished yet, so stop interrupting. The Chamber Occidentalis of the Ordo Sinister - Five Psi-Titans of the Ordo Sinister, all Warlord-class Psi-Titan machines.

Fellowship, commanded by Baleq Uthizzar - 6,200 Space Marines, reduced in strength after recent campaigns and with some companies operating on campaign. Great Company The Serpents of the Battle-Moon — 7,800, primarily infantry support and heavy weapons Rapier units 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. Great Company For-twa (Eight), "The Slaughter-fire Heralds", commanded by unknown Jarl. 9,500 Space Marines, comprising principally reconnaissance and infiltration units (ref. "Pale Hunter" tactical formation sub-type). Fellowship, commanded by Magistus Amon, Equerry to the Crimson King, commander of the Hidden Ones - 7,900 Space Marines, reduced in strength after recent campaigns and with some companies still active that were beyond recall range.The Censure Host fared only somewhat better, taking combined casualties of perhaps 49,000 in total and a far greater toll of munitions and machinery either destroyed or abandoned on Prospero. Driven by the cold rage of their Primarch Leman Russ to engage in some of the bloodiest fighting of the campaign, the Space Wolves suffered the heaviest casualties, with some 25,000 listed as killed in combat, and several thousand more besides, mostly of the Thirteenth Great Company simply listed as missing. The figure constituted a substantial amount of the Space Wolves' total strength and by the formal outbreak of the Horus Heresy, a mere handful of solar months later, they'd had little chance to replenish their numbers. Bjorn became a Wolf Guard AFTER Prospero, during the Heresy. Yes Geigor came out of nowhere, but because he came out of nowhere TO US, he could be anything in-universe and therefore could lead a battleforce. Which Bjorn couldn't since he was just a random battle-brother that we happened to know about. 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. But, in some ways, that feels like an acceptable sacrifice to maintain a streamlined, coherent dice system. And in general, it works really well. And it works well because you have to make it work well. It's a system that front-loads the decisions, and it lays those decisions out on the table for your opponent to see.
