Horus Heresy: The Martian Civil War - engl.

Campaigns of The Age of Darkness: The Martian Civil War

In the crucible of the Horus Heresy, Mars—the beating heart of the Imperium's technological might—was plunged into chaos and civil war. As the Warmaster's treachery spread across the galaxy, vast regions of Mars renounced their allegiance to the Emperor, throwing the planet into a brutal and unforgiving conflict. Factories that once tirelessly churned out weapons for the Emperor's legions were now under the control of traitorous forces, redirecting their lethal output towards Terra, the throneworld itself.

The Martian Civil War was not merely a war of steel and flesh; it was a war of ideology, where the sacred rites of the Machine God clashed with the heretical doctrines of corrupted Tech-priests. Amidst this turmoil, Loyalist forces launched desperate campaigns to reclaim Mars, facing not only the traitors but also the internecine strife of the Martian priesthood, whose internal conflicts only fueled the fires of war.

This dark and tumultuous period of the Horus Heresy is the focus of the latest supplement for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy—Campaigns of The Age of Darkness: The Martian Civil War. Within this 168-page hardback tome, you will find an in-depth exploration of the events that defined this unique and devastating conflict. The book provides rich background information, delving into the key battles and turning points that shaped the fate of Mars.

To bring this war to life on your tabletop, the supplement offers a wealth of new content, including core missions that reflect the strategic objectives of both Loyalist and Traitor forces, apex missions that recreate the most pivotal moments of the war, and relic hunt missions where players can seek out ancient and powerful artifacts amidst the ruins of the Martian landscape. An Onslaught campaign system ties these missions together, allowing players to experience the unfolding of the Martian Civil War in all its grim detail.

Additionally, the book introduces new units and Techno-heresy rules, giving players the tools to determine the fate of Mars themselves. These rules, combined with additional content from previously published Exemplary Battles in the Age of Darkness, provide a comprehensive toolkit for recreating the apocalyptic warfare that consumed the Red Planet.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran of the Horus Heresy or a newcomer to this dark era of Warhammer history, Campaigns of The Age of Darkness: The Martian Civil War offers an immersive and challenging experience, capturing the essence of one of the most critical and brutal conflicts of the Age of Darkness. The fate of Mars lies in your hands—will you reclaim it for the Emperor, or will you see it fall to darkness?
