Buckle up grim dark buttercups because next week the Horus Heresy is back for sure. Come see the first pictures that confirm more Calth is on the way!
You saw the teaser here first last week, and it was a stumper for sure. Would Horus Heresy really be returning?
Here’s the innocuous rumor from Sad Panda for you to ponder again with the above teaser:
There is no Betrayal at Calth expansion (not counting White Dwarf material and possibly something digital).
There is a separate HH-based game, but it was written before Calth hit the shelves. It is no more an expansion to Calth than Overkill is an expansion to Execution Force. It simply shares the same setting/time period.
Fast forward to today, the heavens have parted and the Age of Darkness is back!

With full rules too? WOW We could have not asked for a better start to the hobby summer!
Here’s the pricing that we’ve been seeing as well, but no word yet on the dollar equivalent!

Hi Folks,
Haven’t seen this posted anywhere so I thought I’d share. Plastic Heresy marines are up for pre order on July the 9th. These are the sprues from BaC repackaged in individual boxes as was rumoured some time ago.
Mark IV Space Marines £ 30.00 / € 39.00
Cataphractii Terminators £ 40.00 / € 52.00
Contemptor Dreadnought 35.00 / € 46.00
Space Marines Heroes £ 30.00 / € 39.00
Obviously if this is true, at those prices converted over, the Betrayal at Calth box is a steal now. Best part is, GW still has the Heresy box sets listed for order on their site as of this writing for the low price of $150 MSRP!
The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth $150
Inside the box, you’ll find:
– A Captain in Terminator Armour and a Dark Apostle
– A Contemptor Dreadnought, armed with a choice of multi-melta or twin assault cannon
– Five Cataphractii Terminators, with weapon options including combi bolters, power fists, lightning claws, chain fists, power swords, heavy flamers and grenade harnesses
– Thirty Legion Tactical Space Marines in MK4 armour, with a huge selection of weapons and custom features, including bolters, missile launchers, heavy bolters, chainswords, power swords, power fists, plasma pistols, lightning claw blades, combi flamer, melta and plasma guns, a melta bomb and a set of combat blades! These miniatures also include ammo packs, holstered bolt pistols and a selection of frag and krak grenades.
– Four double-sided boards, beautifully printed on thick card stock, representing the caverns under Calth where the desperate struggle between the Ultramarines and Word Bearers took place
– A forty-eight page book, featuring an introduction to the battle on Calth, comprehensive rules and scenarios for playing the game, an overview of the Word Bearers and Ultramarines legions and a showcase of the included miniatures
– Forty-two command and reference cards, used to introduce effects and events into the game
– Twelve dice and an array of markers used in-game
The included miniatures can be painted to represent any Space Marine chapter with any weapon combination you like – you’re not bound by the game at all! This is truly an exciting box game – get involved in the cataclysmic events that almost destroyed the Imperium and set the galaxy on its course of decay.
What say ye, is one of the best deals of all time from Games Workshop, about to get even sweeter?
