THE SHORT VERSION

Blake Spence and volunteers build an Isstvan V battlefield for the Heresy Weekender. Fortified ruins form the position against which the loyalists attack. Large painted Legion collections populate the display and reveal only part of the studio’s available forces. The team plans a later battle on the terrain, which is not yet included in this feature.

Betrayer

Jes praises the novel’s mirrored relationships between Angron and Lorgar, and Khârn and Argel Tal. Angron’s enslavement and the Butcher’s Nails make the World Eaters’ violence tragic rather than uncomplicated. Lorgar’s apparent concern for his brother adds uncertainty to his larger schemes. Large battles and consequential revelations grow from those relationships rather than replacing them.

The Horus Heresy Book Two: Massacre

The second campaign book recounts the betrayal at Isstvan V and the forces involved. Artwork and uniform guides accompany the account of three shattered loyalist Legions. New rules and scenarios extend Betrayal’s foundation. Mechanicum organisations and their machines receive additional attention alongside the Marines.

The Horus Heresy: Massacre

Alan Bligh explores the three disastrous hours on Isstvan V through the rivalries that bring the armies together. Ferrus Manus and Fulgrim’s broken bond helps explain the loyalists’ vulnerability. Four more Legions receive detailed histories, units and personalities, while previous forces continue to develop. The account also follows how the Heresy divides the wider Imperium and its military alliances.
