In many ways, humankind is among the worst of all the warring factions. Demons, Orks, and aliens of all varieties abound. It’s grim, there are no good guys, and there are these fellas called Space Marines who carry machine guns that shoot rockets, and people deify them like gods. So, now may be the best time ever to dip your toes (or dive headlong) into the vast, complex, intimidating sci-fi universe. Games Workshop, Warhammer 40K’s creator, is also finally taking steps to change parts of the franchise’s lore that have attracted hate groups in its community.

The Horus Heresy Age of Darkness game line is off and running. That means every Emperor’s Children player should take a glance at adding a little Upgrade Pack bling to your army!
