Beneath the sprues Games Workshop usually puts a thicker paper sheet, often designed with the cover artwork or something similar, to keep the sprues from punching the remaining material inside. Opening up the sturdy card board box, you are greeted by a wall of grey sprues, on top of which you'll find the translucent orange templates and red rulers. Besides the hardcover rulebook, there is a total of 40 (!) Space Marines in Mark VI Corvus armour, 10 Terminators in Cataphracti armour, a Redemptor Dreadnought and even a Land Raider Spartan, along with some gaming materials like templates, reference sheets, dice and sticks. It sets you up with everything you need to get started in a generous way. In the press pictures they are split between the loyal Imperial Fists and traitorous Sons of Horus. As this is covering a civil war, you can use all the miniatures for a single project if you like.

And just like these two, this kit doesn't need to a be a two-player starter set. This one is mostly about the unboxing and I'll go into detail in the upcoming posts on the kits themself.Īge of Darkness is the third plastic starter set for Horus Heresy (or at least heresy themed) after Betrayal at Calth and Prospero Burning. The content of the new starter set for Horus Heresy is a lot, so I'm going to split it across a few articles to not overload one article with too much information and pictures. Thanks to Games Workshop for providing me with a copy. With me already being in Horus Heresy mood through the audiobooks, I was really excited about the way they introduced 2.0 on Warhammer Fest, and they kept firing on all cylinders pumping content on all legions, integrating content creators and painters and really keeping it visible.Īnd with today, I can finally join in talking about the new Age of Darkness kit (RRP 225 EUR / 180 GBP), that is on pre-order since today and I received a bit earlier to have time to prepare my coverage. And it sets the tone for the entire narrative. This is how the first book of the Horus Heresy novels starts. I was there the day Horus slew the Emperor.
