The galaxy is engulfed in flames! Warmaster Horus has turned against the Emperor, igniting a brutal civil war within the Imperium. A dark era has fallen across the stars, where brother fights brother and Space Marine clashes with Space Marine. The formidable forces of the Imperium now face devastation from within, locked in a devastating conflict of fire and bloodshed.

In Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, command powerful armies of enhanced warriors in epic tabletop confrontations. Select your preferred Legion—whether the noble Dark Angels or the secretive Alpha Legion—assemble your force from an impressive collection of miniatures, and engage opponents in deeply strategic wargames.

The Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Saturnine boxed set offers an extensive collection of content, featuring a comprehensive rulebook that explores the lore and history of the galaxy-shattering civil war, alongside stunning artwork and photography. Inside, you'll find 50 plastic miniatures, including a formidable Saturnine Dreadnought and numerous MKII "Crusade" armoured Space Marines, enabling you to assemble two opposing armies for immediate play or start crafting your own Legion force. The set also includes game accessories and reference materials to fully engage you in the Age of Darkness.
