The 30k supplement is based on “old” (pre-8th edition) 40k rules, and can be thought of as “7.5” edition in many ways. The 30k supplement focuses on wargames in this deep and detailed setting, and allows players to field large armies of varying factions, set against each other in exciting tabletop warfare. Xenos power was at its nadir, and nothing appeared to stand in the way of the Imperium – except, of course, itself. It was a time of legends, when the Emperor walked and fought among men, and His gene-sons – the Primarchs – led mighty Crusade fleets to conquer in the name of Mankind. The funeral bell had tolled for the Emperor of Humanity, and all His subjects could do was weep. This war is what led to the current timeline of 40k, and everything can be traced back to it.īy the end of the struggle, trillions were dead. However, this article winds the clock back on all this by 10,000 years and focuses instead on introducing the 31st Millennium – the setting for the popular 40k supplement by Forge World, The Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness (or “ The Horus Heresy ”/” 30k ”).ģ0k tells the tale of the eponymous Horus Heresy, an epic civil war which ripped apart the mighty Imperium of Man at the height of its power and murdered the Emperor’s dream in its crib – His secular Imperial Truth replaced instead by a grim parody in the form of the Imperial Cult and the holy Ecclesiarchy. War is everywhere, grim and eternal, and the centre cannot hold. Mankind is, as ever, beset on all sides by enemies both fair and foul, from Aeldari to Tyranids. It’s a game we all know and love, in a familiar and rich setting – albeit one forever changed with the shattering of Cadia, the eruption of the Cicatrix Maledictum, and the advent of the Indomitus Crusade. If you’re reading this website, you will undoubtedly be familiar with Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe (otherwise commonly known as “ 40k ”).
