He presented a glorious sight, clad in golden Artificer Armour, his wild red hair ablaze with psychic energy. His flesh burned with the touch of immense power, greater than anything it had ever contained before. His bladed staff threw off blinding arcs of lightning that destroyed armoured vehicles in thunderous explosions. Magnus swept his one good eye across the horrified Space Wolves, and all who met his gaze died in an instant as they were driven to madness by the stygian depths of infinite Chaos they saw there. Only Leman Russ and his Fenrisian Wolf companions stood unfazed by the sorcerous power of Magnus, a gleam of anticipation in the Wolf King’s eyes, as though he relished the idea of the coming conflict with his brother. But then, I would think that, wouldn't I? I love Betrayal at Calth. I've had more time playing with it, I have more content for it (from White Dwarf magazines), and I enjoy it more. I think it does everything Burning of Prospero does, but just a bit better, and without the need for any house rules. So of course I'm going to think Burning of Prosperodoesn't need to exist.Oh, hi there. Come on in. Sit down. You've just caught me thumbing through some of the old paperwork in my filing cabinet... Legion Veteran Tactical Space Marines in MkIII ‘Iron’ Power Armour – these are split into a 10-man Loyalist force and a 20-man Traitor force.

And then there's that horrible pinning rule to consider; and a weapon system that strips off all the colour and character with a blow torch. However, every game that isn't a reimagining or expansion deserves to be considered in its own right, so that's what I'm going to try to do from here on out. So, let's not think about Betrayal at Calthfor a minute. Let's talk about all the things Burning of Prospero does right. He also pointed out that the Imperium was already completely reliant on the use of psykers such as astropaths and Navigators for interstellar communication and transportation as evidence to help his cause. Recovered records of the XV Legion show that no information regarding the Imperial Censure Fleet, or even of the Emperor's displeasure, was ever disseminated to the Legion. As the combined armada of Leman Russ and Constantin Valdor drew ever closer to the world of Prospero, the Thousand Sons busied themselves with mundane maintenance and their own esoteric training, oblivious to any threat. No attempt was made by the XV Legion or the various regiments of the Prosperine Spireguard to fortify any of the key defensive positions within the city of Tizca, the only large-scale urban settlement on Prospero to survive the Age of Strife. In several cases, there were even reported disappearances of key Legion and civilian personnel who appeared to have stumbled across information related to the fleet's approach and then were silenced, with the evidence at hand suggesting the use of potent memory-altering telepathy to quell any unrest at the sudden disappearances, a feat few even a Legion such as the Thousand Sons were capable of. The Flesh-Change was much feared amongst the Thousand Sons, as the spiral of degenerative mutation ultimately reduced a proud Thousand Sons Astartes into a mindless mutant abomination similar to a Chaos Spawn. The majority of those Thousand Sons afflicted by the Flesh-Change were put into stasis by the Legion in the hope that someday in the future a cure would be found that could reverse the onset of these crippling mutations.The Warmaster Horus was being treated for the mortal wound he had sustained fighting alongside his Luna Wolves Legion against the Renegade Imperial Planetary Governor Eugen Temba on the Feral World of Davin within the Temple of the Serpent Lodge. Unbeknownst to anyone else in his Legion, the Warmaster's healing had been prearranged by First Chaplain Erebus of the Word Bearers so that the Chaos Cultists of the Serpent Lodge could transport Horus' soul into the Warp where he was seduced by the Ruinous Powers into betraying and challenging the Emperor for control of the galaxy. Magnus, meditating on Prospero, peered into the Warp with his one good eye and foresaw the pact with Chaos that the dying Warmaster had made to save his life. He also foresaw the epic events that were yet to unfold in the galaxy and could prove dire to the survival of the Imperium -- Horus' betrayal, the deaths of some of his Primarch brothers and the actions of those who would betray their oaths to the Emperor. The only fate the vision did not reveal was Magnus' own. Veteran Tactical Squad, Legion (Compulsory) [125pts] Selections: 4x Bolt Pistol, 4x Bolter, 4x Chainswords/Combat Blades, 4x Veteran Space Marines, Legion It's an epic moment in Games Workshop's timeline, and a defining moment in the shattering of the space marine chapters into loyalist and traitor factions. In fact, throughout the rulebook, the Space Wolves are defined as "loyalists" and the Thousand Sons are defined as "traitors;" but those designations are unfair, and I can only imagine there are some pretty intense debates among the hardcore Games Workshop fans about it.

This great conclave, later known to Imperial historitors as the Council of Nikaea, consisted of the primarchs as well as Imperial officials drawn from all the various adepta of the Imperium. From His throne upon a high dais, the Emperor presided over the proceedings on Nikaea in an ancient amphitheatre as each side in the debate made their presentations to Him. After the Emperor arrived on Prospero, Magnus was reunited with his genetic progeny amongst the XV th Legion of the Space Marines. Great Company Tra (Three), "The Eagle's Keepers", commanded by Jarl Ogvai Ogvai Helmschrot. 9,800 Space Marines, mostly close assault infantry and support armour (noted in extemporaneous data as being proportionally high in Initiate-status Legiones Astartes). Fellowship, commanded by Hathor Maat - 8,200 Space Marines, reinforced from recent campaigns to near full strength.Charonid Sentinels, Third Fane - A full detachment of the dour, heavily augmented watchmen of the outer Sol System, replete with their full panoply of otherwise proscribed weaponry. The Third Fane numbered slightly more than 2,000 men-under-arms. They are sorely misguided if they think the Warp has the power to overcome my Will. My vengeance shall haunt them across all of time and they shall never know peace. They have earned themselves only eternal damnation." Yes, I know they're part of the same series, so all these similarities make sense. I applaud the decision to have a sense of consistency and coherency across a product line. But I'm not finished yet, so stop interrupting. Great Company Fyf (Five), "The Blood-ice Storm", commanded by Jarl Amlodhi Skarssen. 10,000 Space Marines, comprising a mixed infantry force with light support armour, assigned while on Fenris for resupply. Being those units that were assembled on the Throneworld of Terra to prosecute the Writ of Censure issued by the Emperor's hand in 004.M31 and decreeing that Magnus the Red, Lord of Prospero and the XV Legion of the Legio Astartes, be brought in disgrace to Terra, there to face the judgement of his father for violation of the Edicts of Nikaea.

Oh my it looks like Greigor is a separate sprue, along with Ahriman, giving GW the option of selling them separately later on down the road!

Fellowship, commanded by Khalophis - 4,000 Space Marines. It is believed that a full half of the Sixth's active strength was deployed to the sectors around Zhao-Arkhad in the galactic south. 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.
