The Space Marine Legions of the 31st Millenium field a diverse and formidable range of genetically-enhanced warriors and advanced war machines; superior to any other military force in the galaxy. As an Age of Darkness falls across the stars and the fires of rebellion rage out of control; the armies that were used to forge the Imperium turn upon each other in an apocalyptic civil war – the Horus Heresy.
Of the eighteen Space Marine Legions; fully half have betrayed their oaths. Defiant servants of the Warmaster; these Space Marines gather strength to overthrow the Emperor and claim the Throneworld of Terra. In the turmoil of the Horus Heresy; the Traitor armies unleash powers and ambitions beyond mortal reckoning; waging bitter war against their former brothers – those that still cling to their oaths and stand by the Emperor. By the determination and fury of these rebellious warriors will the fate of the Imperium; and that of humanity itself; be decided.
