Product Information

Bitterly disappointed by the outcome of the Council of Nikaea, Magnus secretly raged against the Emperor and what he saw as his father's unjust ruling. The Emperor had made his feelings crystal clear: Magnus was to cease all use of sorcery and psychic powers on pain of death. The Emperor had censured Magnus publicly for such activity and had warned him in no uncertain terms that he would be destroyed if he were to disobey the Edicts of Nikaea. Yet Magnus had no intention of giving up the promised power and knowledge of the Warp and continued to study the Immaterium and its secrets. He met with his senior Librarians and persuaded them to collude with his plan to secretly continue their studies of the occult and sorcery.

This would allow these gifted battle-brothers to be of use to their Legion without presenting any danger to their fellows or to the civilians of the Imperium. Magnus and a number of other primarchs created a program for the training and development of psyker Astartes that supplemented the traditional process for creating a new Space Marine. Worse still, my first game didn't cast the system in a particularly good light. In the very first round, I selected a power for my traitors, but the first willpower card the Space Wolves drew immediately cancelled the entire phase. It was incredibly disappointing. Then, in the second round, my first power failed, and for the second power I pulled the "Warp Flood" card, which means the power automatically succeeds, but then the psychic phase immediately ends. The same "Warp Flood" card prematurely ended the third and fourth rounds as well. The Battle of Prospero, also referred to as the First Battle of Prospero, the Scouring of Prospero, the Desolation of Prospero, the Burning of Prospero and the Fall of Prospero, was the name given by later Imperial scholars to the sanctioned Imperial military reprisal against the Thousand Sons Legion's homeworld of Prospero near the start of the Horus Heresy in 004.M31.

Overseer Boros Kurn, Commander of the 16 th Independent Assault Battalion, XVI Legion, the Sons of Horus - Emissary of the Warmaster. It's really hard to review because Betrayal at Calthalready exists. They're different games. I don't think there is a single rule that carries over from one game to the other. But they feel so damned similar - like spiritual twins - and that makes it really hard to consider Burning of Prosperoon its own merits. Now, that may sound a bit convoluted when you see it written out, but in practice, it's rather elegant. Once you have played a single round, you are going to know exactly what you are doing, and from then on there is really only one additional wrinkle in the rules to remember: Critical hits. Any dice that scores a six or higher is a critical hit. If you don't cancel that hit, it inflicts two wounds, which is enough to kill a basic space marine outright, and enough to put a serious dent in a terminator or custodian. Great Company The Slaughter-fire Heralds — 9,500, primarily Reconnaissance and infiltration marines

Magnus was enraged by Ahriman's audacious spell and what it had done to his sons, but was secretly pleased with the level of sorcerous knowledge the Legion had attained through their metamorphosis. Confronting the cabal who had carried out the Rubric, Magnus nearly slew Ahriman in his rage, but Tzeentch intervened personally, sparing Ahriman's life, for he had proven to be a useful pawn and a living exemplar of the power of change. Prospero Spireguard Lucretia Elunnirai — Commander of the Prospero Spireguard [8a] Sokhem Vithara — Captain, 15th Assault Infantry Mechanicum Magos Tacitus Proctor — Zhao-Arkhad Princeps Calvar Ibranum of the Legio Xestobiax A few of the cards have special actions, such as giving you the choice to boost the chances of activating or cancelling a psychic power (usually in exchange for a potential loss elsewhere), but it really is a very simple system that keeps the action fast-paced and brutal. All told well over thirty million lives were lost in the prosecution of the Emperor's justice on Prospero, the vast majority of these deaths being those citizens of the Imperium on the planet at the time of the Imperial Censure Fleet's arrival. Official records place the number of survivors from Prospero's civilian population at zero, and while in actuality there were certainly some thousands at large in the galaxy or who potentially escaped with one of the few bands of Thousand Sons to leave the planet alive, as a people the Prosperine branch of Mankind was now extinct. Legio Mortis - Twelve Battle Titans of the "Death's Heads," forming two full maniples and one demi-maniple, including the Warlord-class Aeterna Virtus as its command element.In fact, in some cases there is no difference between the weapons at all. You can arm a veteran sergeant with a power sword, lightning claw, power fist, thunder hammer, or two chainswords. Doesn't matter. He's always going to roll a D8 in combat.

Games Workshop are always saying that in the far future, there is only war. And that's an issue I never really considered when I was thinking about my tapestry of interwoven games on a timeline of the Imperium. I was thinking about how different Betrayal at Calth was to Deathwatch: Overkill. I hadn't considered the fact that, in a lot of cases, these board games could end up being two-player squad-based games about rival factions having a tussle.
