Games Workshop 60010101002" Burning of Prospero Action Figure

Product Information

And everything looks beautiful (obviously), and the rules are super-streamlined and easy to learn, and the scenarios are fun and varied, and the asymmetric forces create interesting dynamics, and the combat system is clean and effective, and... and... dammit. Keeping true to Games Workshop's design ethos, the game is light on rules, but offers some decent tactical decisions offset by plenty of dice rolling. It has a really meaty theme, and beautiful miniatures that come with superb building instructions and go together well. There are hardly any tokens or fiddly exceptions to the main rules set, so when you are playing you actually feel like you are playing, rather than working at playing. It is... you know... a Games Workshop game, with all the triumphs and tribulations that entails. Great Company The Slaughter-fire Heralds — 9,500, primarily Reconnaissance and infiltration marines

Veteran Tactical Squad, Legion (Compulsory) [110pts] Selections: 4x Bolt Pistol, 4x Bolter, 4x Chainswords/Combat Blades, 4x Veteran Space Marines, Legion, Vexilla, Legion Ahriman soon found out that other senior members of the Thousand Sons had survived the Wolves' assault, including such Veterans as Amon, Hathor Maat and Sobek. But it soon became clear that a number of his fellow Thousand Sons had succumbed to the Flesh-Change during the height of the battle, including the Lore-Keeper of the Corvidae Cult. Dozens of Thousand Sons Battle-Brothers had to be put down due to the sudden return of rampant mutation. All told, only 1,242 Thousand Sons Astartes had survived the razing of Prospero. Kasper Ansbach Hawser - Skjald of the Space Wolves Legion's 3 rd Company and a secret, deep-cover member of the ' Hidden Ones' (the Scout Auxilia) of the Thousand Sons Legion. Great Company The Serpents of the Battle-Moon — 7,800, primarily infantry support and heavy weapons Rapier units With no response from the ground, the Imperial armada moved into high orbital anchor above Prospero and assumed a geostationary assault pattern. Thousands of weapons were trained on the planet below: energy weapons, mass-drivers and kinetic bombardment cannons. The starships drifted sedately like grand liners in a regatta among the stars. Leman Russ' flagship, the Battle Barge Hrafnkel, opened the orbital assault, its massive weapons systems etching lines of icy light into the surface of Prospero. Moments later, the rest of the Imperial fleet opened fire.The Space Wolves utterly devastated Prospero, razing the capital city of Tizca; Thousand Sons Legion suffered loss of nine-tenths of their Legion strength and survivors teleported to the Planet of the Sorcerers in the Eye of Terror by the Chaos God Tzeentch; Magnus the Red and the XV th Legion swear to serve Tzeentch and join with Horus in overthrowing the Emperor of Mankind

Zhao-Arkhad Taghmata - The defence forces of the autonomous Zhao-Arkhad collective of Prospero were present within their enclave in the wilderness of Prospero as part of a treaty for the supply of the Legion. They consisted mainly of various combat-automata and other mechanised units, numbering perhaps 8,000 warriors and automata. Almost none of these were present within the city of Tizca and dwelt within the subterranean Geller Barrier-screened fane. Selections: 4x Bolt Pistol, 4x Execution Blade, 4x Frag, Krak, and Psyk-Out Grenades, 4x Vratine Armour

Northern Palatine Guard - This Imperial Army regiment, under the command of Colonel Katon Aphea, was deployed on the edges of the burning port of Old Tizca, which occupied the high parapets of the overlooking libraries and galleries of the Nephrate District. The Northern Palatine Guard were overran by Leman Russ and his Space Wolves in less than two solar minutes. Primarchs such as Leman Russ felt that Librarians were no better than witches. Corvus Corax and Rogal Dorn also refused to commit their Legions to fight alongside other Legions that made use of Librarians. Mortarion in particular accused his brother Magnus of using the forbidden arts of sorcery. rd Ydranian Seekers Regiment - Light infantry from the Ydran Cluster, notably a sector of Human-occupied space devastated by rogue psykers prior to Imperial Compliance at the hands of the Death Guard. Organised into three cohorts of 4,000 soldiers each and believed equipped with a variety of non-standard psi-warding technologies -- the effectiveness of which was deemed dubious by the Mechanicum.

A reaper autocannon shouldn't have exactly the same profile as a heavy bolter. A combi-bolter shouldn't function in the same way as a plasma gun. The Emperor of Mankind proved furious with Magnus the Red's psychic intrusion into the Imperial Palace.

Tyrian Exo-guard, Cohorts Siris, Asag, Rabisu, Asakku, Kur, Edimmu, Siduri and Atra - Each cohort consisting of 600 void-armoured Exo-guard and 100 helot auxiliaries. th Cthonian Headhunters Regiment - Slightly less than 9,000 assault infantry raised on Cthonia, infamous within the Imperialis Auxilia for their savage and belligerent temperament and tendency to mutilate the dead for trophies. The effects of the Burning of Prospero were far-reaching. Magnus himself managed to transport 1,242 surviving Thousand Sons to the Planet of the Sorcerers (the sum of the digits in 1,242 happens to be 9, the holy number of Tzeentch), where they would later join Horus in the Siege of Terra. Magnus became a being of aetheric energy and servant to Tzeentch, but was shattered in the process. [1i]
