As the flames of war spread through the Imperium, mankind’s champions will all be put to the ultimate test.ĬONTENTS THE FIRST HERETIC. He is a warrior without peer, a diplomat supreme. He is the Warmaster, the commander-in-chief of the Emperor’s military might, subjugator of a thousand thousand worlds and conqueror of the galaxy. Chief amongst the primarchs is Horus, called the Glorious, the Brightest Star, favourite of the Emperor, and like a son unto him. Organised into vast armies of tens of thousands called Legions, the Space Marines and their primarch leaders conquer the galaxy in the name of the Emperor. The Space Marines are the mightiest human warriors the galaxy has ever known, each capable of besting a hundred normal men or more in combat. They are unstoppable and magnificent, the pinnacle of the Emperor’s genetic experimentation. First and foremost amongst these are the primarchs, superheroic beings who have led the Emperor’s armies of Space Marines in victory after victory. Triumphs are raised on a million worlds to record the epic deeds of his most powerful and deadly warriors.
Gleaming citadels of marble and gold celebrate the many victories of the Emperor. The dawn of a new age of supremacy for humanity beckons. The vast armies of the Emperor of Earth have conquered the galaxy in a Great Crusade – the myriad alien races have been smashed by the Emperor’s elite warriors and wiped from the face of history. Mighty heroes battle for the right to rule the galaxy. It really could be considered one of those awesome “Father and Son first wargames.”Īnywho, I was excited, and just thought I would throw it out there.Original scan by Undead edited by fractalnoise v1.3 (2012.01) I full-on plan stocking this one and putting a copy near where we stock Risk and Axis and Allies. Sounds like a late August release, just post Gencon to take advantage of the buzz. They had a few shipped over as samples from the printers to promo here at Origins. They were smart and laid the box out so you could pretty much shelve if from any angle, from face-out, spine, or top.

24 detailed, fully assembled plastic mechs, clear concise starter rules, ok-ish maps, and a full on intro guide to the BT Universe, and a board game quality box. I have been following Battletech since I was a teenager, and there hasn’t yet been a better box set. I got a chance to look through Catalyst Game Labs first big product, and it is pretty darn awesome. Pendragon: The Role-Playing Game of Arthurian Britain WINNER: Command & Colors Ancients (GMT Games)

That alone strikes me as news at this point.
