The Horus Heresy
The Horus Heresy is a Warhammer tabletop game set during the legendary civil war that tore the Imperium apart ten thousand years before the events of Warhammer 40,000. It focuses on the Space Marine Legions of the Great Crusade era, when brother fought brother and the future of humanity was decided in some of the most important battles in Warhammer lore.
This category can include The Horus Heresy miniatures, rulebooks, army boxes, characters, vehicles, upgrade kits, Legion-specific units and related hobby products, depending on current availability. It is a useful place to start if you want to build a Legion army or expand an existing collection with infantry, tanks, dreadnoughts and narrative centrepiece models.
On the tabletop, The Horus Heresy offers a different feeling from modern Warhammer 40,000. Armies often focus on Legion identity, larger formations, iconic vehicles and a more historical-campaign style of play. It is a strong choice for players who enjoy deep lore, narrative battles, detailed army building and the drama of Loyalist versus Traitor Legions.
For painting and collecting, The Horus Heresy is excellent for hobbyists who enjoy Legion colour schemes, weathered armour, battle damage, transfers, heraldry and large military-style armies. Whether you choose a Loyalist force, a Traitor Legion or a project built around a specific campaign, the range gives plenty of space for both clean display painting and grim battlefield realism.
At Geek Shelter, we recommend The Horus Heresy for players in Israel who want a Warhammer project with strong narrative depth, iconic Space Marine Legions and a more classic military sci-fi atmosphere. If you like the history of the Imperium, Primarchs, Legion warfare and dramatic campaigns, this category is a good starting point.
Good for:
- Players who enjoy deep Warhammer lore and narrative battles
- Fans of Space Marine Legions, Primarchs, Loyalists and Traitors
- Hobbyists who like Legion colour schemes, weathering, transfers and battle damage
- Warhammer players looking for a more historical and campaign-driven setting
