Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness: Saturnine

The galaxy burns! Warmaster Horus has betrayed the Emperor and plunged the Imperium into civil war! An Age of Darkness has dawned across the galaxy. A war in which brother fights brother, Space Marine against Space Marine, in which the might of the Imperium's colossal armies is turned against itself. A cataclysm of fire and blood.

In Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, mighty armies of superhuman warriors clash in apocalyptic battles. Choose your favourite legion, from the chivalrous Dark Angels to the two-faced Alpha Legion, build your own army with a selection of spectacular miniatures, and compete against others in wargames of immense strategic depth. The story of the Horus Heresy is the cornerstone of the rich history of Warhammer 40,000, and this set is the ideal first step to get involved in the epic conflicts that reshaped the galaxy.

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Saturnine is a true treasure trove, filled with a rulebook explaining the history and background of the civil war that shook the galaxy, and in which you'll find beautiful photographs and artwork as well as the core rules to play the game. The set also includes 50 plastic miniatures, including an impressive Saturnine Dreadnought and plenty of Space Marines in Mark II 'Crusade' power armour, with which you can build two opposing forces and start playing right away. Alternatively, the miniatures also provide a good starting point for a large Legion force. In addition, you get game accessories and reference materials to fully immerse yourself in the worlds of the Age of Darkness. Whether you prefer building, painting, or narrative or balanced games: this set supports you on your journey into the 31st Millennium.

This set contains 50 multi-part plastic miniatures:
- 1x Saturnine Praetor
- 1x Centurion in Mark II power armour
- 1x Saturnine Dreadnought
- 1x Arachnae Quad-Accelerant Array
- 6x Saturnine Terminators
- 40x Legionaries in Mark II power armour
- 36x Disintegrator weapon upgrades

These miniatures are easy to customise. The Centurion can be built with one of two heads, and the Praetor can be armed with a dangerous axe or a brutal hammer. Plus, there are cosmetic options such as different heads and shoulder pads.

The intimidating Saturnine Dreadnought can be built with photon blasters or concussion resonators as secondary weapons. It also has cosmetic options, such as different heads and armour plates.

The Saturnine Terminators have six plasma bombardments, six heavy twin disintegrators, and six disruptor fists, as well as optional particle shredders, so you have the right weapon for every target.

The Space Marine Legionaries in Mark II power armour include parts for optional Sergeants, Legionaries with Nuncio-Vox, Augurium Scanners, and Vexillum. The Sergeants can be equipped with one of three heads and various weapon options. The Bolter Legionaries can optionally be equipped with bayonets or chain bayonets, and the heads and accessories (including grenades, pistol holsters, and pouches) can be exchanged between the miniatures. This set also contains a set of Disintegrator weapons so you can promote your infantry to Veteran Tactical Squads armed with these devastating weapons.

These miniatures have no Legion-specific markings and can be used in any Space Marine force, whether they are loyal to the Emperor or have joined Horus's rebellion.
