Humanity’s greatest champion has become its deadliest enemy. Now Warmaster Horus leads an army against Earth in a da g attack on the Emperor himself. In this terrible battle for Earth, loyal Space Marines must fight their former brothers, Traitor Space Marines corrupted by the foul touch of Chaos. Horus was the finest military commander of his age. The Emperor granted him the title of Warmaster, a high honour even in an age when brave deeds were ‘commonplace. But the Imperium’s greatest hero was to become its deadliest enemy. From the depths of the warp the Gods of Chaos whispered to Horus and the other leaders of the Space Marines, disturbing their dreams with promises of power, appealing to their pride and their martial virtue. No single individual was wholly resistant to these temptations. The character of each was sorely tested and in time some of them started to bend towards Chaos, unaware that their loyalties were changing. At first, the traitors believed themselves to be acting in the best interests of humanity bbut as they led their Space Marines against the Emperor their good intentions fell away and Chaos started to saturate their souls. So it was that Warmaster Horus, greatest and most trusted of the Emperor's servants, led the rebellion and. plunged the fledgling Imperium into a maelstrom of terror known as the Horus Heresy. Throughout the galaxy the forces of Chaos became stronger as humans were seduced by the values represented by the Chaos Powers and even fell to their worship. Eight Space ‘Marine Chapters ~ almost half of the Legiones Astartes ~ joined the Traitors. The fate of the Imperium hung in the balance. Horus knew that ina long, drawn out campaign he would lose, eventually being ground down by the superior numbers on the Imperial side. He decided to risk almost everything on a desperate gamble; if he could capture Earth and eliminate the Emperor the Imperium would be deprived of its heart and soul, and would fall into his hands easily. But he had to strike quickly, before the Emperor got over the shock of his betrayal and was able to organise his sattered forees. Gathering together a huge army, Horus struck towards Earth. The Lunar bases, the bastion of Earth's defences, fell t0 Horus after a hard fight, and the ebel fleet moved into Earth orbit. Horus’s drop ships fell like rai isgorging company after company of Traitor Marines. ‘The Traitors lai siege to the Imperial Palace and slowly
