Looks like Daemons may be coming to games of Horus Heresy Betrayal at Calth. This week’s White Dwarf may have a very interesting mission, come see.

The new Betrayal at Calth Mission for Horus Heresy that is in White Dwarf #99 features playing with Daemons.
Well that would expand the new board game quite a bit depending on how it plays. We also heard yesterday that it looks like B@C may be getting some attention from the new Specialist Games Studio in 2016:
Other existing lines and previous “recent successful boardgames” will be folded into Specialist Games purview and added into the rotation with the above four.
Betrayal at Calth is really an exciting proposition for the studio IMHO because it gives them a “third” product line to work on, and release expansions for (Heresy Squad boxes *cough*). Plus at face value it’s a fast dynamic game that can perhaps complete with other games out there like X-Wing or other smaller skirmish based miniature games.
And it’s Space Marines, so in theory, it will sell.
Checkout our ideas for UP-scaling Betrayal at Calth to 500 and 1000 points games and lets us know what you think about this level of grim dark gaming. It is too little, too much, or just right for 30min to an hour to kill?
Are big things coming for this small game?
