FTW Games (the home of Spikey Bits) will be running one of the National Horus Heresy Weekender Events in January!
You and your army will fight on either the side of the steadfast Loyalists who follow the Emperor, or the Traitors fighting for Horus’ vision of a new order. The aim of this weekend is to experience an historic event at the dawn of the Imperium, reliving those heroic moments of sacrifice and mad ambition. This is your chance to play your part in the Horus Heresy; to choose your side and carve out your own piece of history that had previously gone untold. We already know that the traitors go on to ravage the Imperium, but how much more destruction was averted due to the efforts of the remaining loyalists? Who knows, maybe the Imperium in the 41st millennium would lie in utter ruin if the loyalists had not slowed down Horus’ machinations by fighting until their very last…?
Tickets to the event will be $40.00 – 100% of this cost will go towards providing prize support for the event. There will be prizes given to the winner of Best Painted Army, as well as to the top-scoring player from the Loyalist and Traitor sides, as well as lesser prizes for several other awards. So come on out and join the Loyalists or the Traitors, and decide the fate of the Galaxy!
