Goonhammer Open UK - Horus Heresy Doubles September 2024

In the later years of the Great Crusade, the warp began to grow dark and the gaps between civilised worlds slowly increased. 

Warp storms have covered the Holgothine Sector for the past three Solar decades, and this thriving sector has been cut off. No tithes have departed, no support arrives, and no news of the carnage of the galaxy wide civil war. Finally these raging tithes have becalmed, and the Astropathic signals have alerted the lords of Holgothine to the chilling news of wide and mass revolt. 

Lurking in the shadows of the warp can be found the browbeaten and well-weathered veterans of a hundred campaigns: Istvaan, Vandia, Prospero, Marinus, Exacris... Survivors, scavengers and raiders. And Holgothine is a ripe fruit on a low branch, ill defended and resource rich. Allies of opportunity band together to sack the sector for all it is worth.

Loyalists and traitors greedily eye the sector, alongside no shortage of bannerless pirates styling themselves as "Blackshields". No matter how shattered thy Legion may appear or how desperate thy countenance, the glut of armaments, vessels, recruits and technology can bring thy forces to their former glory, or render the brutal and mighty even more unassailable. 

And so battle commences and planets burn! There will be no peace until Horus or the Emperor are dead!

In The Eye of the Storm, this is not a great battle of Loyalists against Traitors, but instead a messy struggle between battered and wounded forces over precious resources. Broken armies join together in a tense doubles format. No allegiances. Every warrior fights for themselves!

This is not a significant enough conflict to draw the Emperor’s personal attention, and so his Talons are not present. This is about your stories, about the characters you all create, and the amazing deeds they go on to enact.

Further details including the latest pack can be found on the Goonhammer .
