Description

The Age of Darkness Rulebook is the essential core manual for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy — the standalone specialist game system set during the galaxy-spanning civil war that nearly destroyed the Imperium of Mankind. Released in 2022 alongside the landmark relaunch of the Horus Heresy as a full boxed game system, this 336-page hardcover contains everything needed to play battles between the Space Marine Legions of the 31st Millennium. Inside, players will find the complete core rules for mass battles, covering all game phases, army building, and the unique mechanics that define Legiones Astartes warfare — from the Reaction system to the Primarch rules. Extensive lore sections cover the dramatic betrayal of Warmaster Horus and the bloody civil war that followed, drawing on the full depth of Black Library's acclaimed Horus Heresy novel series. Visual sections showcase fully painted Legion armies and scenes from the Heresy era, making the book as much a collector's art piece as a gaming reference. Used in conjunction with the Liber Astartes and Liber Hereticus army books, the Age of Darkness Rulebook forms the complete rules foundation for the Horus Heresy game.

Collectible Value

Released as the centrepiece of the 2022 Horus Heresy relaunch — one of Games Workshop's most significant specialist game launches in decades — the Age of Darkness Rulebook is a foundational volume for a game with a large and dedicated collector base. As a large-format 336-page hardcover produced for a specialist system, it holds strong secondary market value and is an essential reference for any Horus Heresy collection.
