Welcome to the Horus Heresy; where you will lead your forces in the battles that will decide its fate.
This event is for the tabletop game, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy 3rd Edition (This is NOT a Warhammer: 40,000 event.)
The event will deploy Loyalists against Traitors on balanced, yet thematic battlefields; inspired by the lore of the Horus Heresy.
EVENT OVERVIEW
There will be two factions: Loyalists, and Traitors.
⁃ If the sides are not equal in the number of attending players, before beginning the 1st battles of the event, we will ask for volunteers to join one side or another to balance the numbers between the two factions.
Each battle will consist of four players, 2 Loyalists vs 2 Traitors.
⁃ The players will be paired up at random; this will help introduce more Horus Heresy players to each other and help build a stronger community.
⁃ Also, team games are the most fun!
At the end of the event, the faction (Loyalists or Traitors) with the most victories will be proclaimed the winner!
EVENT DETAILS
⁃ The event welcomes both beginners, as well as experienced players of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.
⁃ Each player can field up to a 1250pt army.
⁃ Each player will play in 2 games during the event.
⁃ Important to note, this is an event to have fun and connect with other people who share a mutual interest in The Horus Heresy Tabletop Wargame, not a competitive tournament.

House Rules
⁃ After playing over a dozen games of Horus Heresy 3rd edition, myself, and a group of similarly experienced players have compiled this list of House Rules (the majority of which are to add in missing Wargear options to a number of units that had those options in 2nd edition, so players can still field them; the rest are to update a small selection of Core Rules to improve gameplay-flow and balance. We have play-tested all of the House Rules we chose to include and strongly believe the game benefits from the addition of them. A link to a PDF containing them can be found in the Discussions Tab of this event page.
Painted Models
