Horus Heresy Roundup

Okay so maybe som “Space Hulk” sort of tile system, with Battle of Phall boarding action theme?.  Sounds like one side gets the 30 Mk IVs defending their ship and the other side gets the Terminator/Cataphractii boarding party (brutal)?.  Skys the limit for potential fun. I’m sure the majority of folks will be getting this for the minis, and perhaps NOT the game itself?

~ Things keep moving closer and closer… I wonder if Star Wars is affecting Games Workshop’s decisions any?
