AFTERWORD

The Horus Heresy Book Five- Tempest continues the story of the greatest war in the history of the Imperium, focusing on the pivotal
Battle of Calth. Here the Word Bearers' betrayal of the Ultramarines let loose the floodgates of destruction and for the first time in
the Horus Heresy unleashed the infernal powers of the Warp upon humanity. This battle also marked the opening of the 'Shadow
Crusade' against the Realm of Ultramar which was launched in order to serve not just the military objective of destroying the
Ultramarines, but the still greater mission of invoking a warp storm so vast and powerful that it would sunder the galaxy in two.

This book presents the story of the Bartle of Calth, expanding the many exciting accounts told in several of Black Library's Horus
Heresy novels and anthologies into a campaign that players can re-enact on the tabletop. The history and background of the XIII'h
Legiones Astartes -the Ultramarines- is provided, as well as rules for several of their unique units, wargear and characters,
including the Primarch Roboute Guilliman himself Furthermore, Tempest presents new rules for players of the Word Bearers
Legion as well as several new vehicles that can be included in any Space Marine army, Traitor and Loyalist alike.

Tempest also introduces a new element into games set in the Age of Darkness in the form of the Imperialis Militia. Players can now
muster the defenders of Calth or the teeming hordes of renegades and warp cultists in thrall to the Word Bearers. All players can use
this army list, drawing on its units as allies or fielding entire mortal armies in the ongoing wars of the Age of Darkness. Last, but by
no means least, are background and rules for the mighty Warlord Titan, a formidable model that Forge World's designers have been
chafing at the bit to create for a very long time. We think players will agree that the wait was more than worthwhile.

Finally, once again we must thank the ever-growing body of Horus Heresy players for their continued enthusiasm and feedback as
together we continue our adventures in the Age of Darkness.

The Forge World Studio

The Horus Heresy Book Five- Tempest is a supplement for Warham mer 4o,ooo dealing with war and battle in the dark age of the Horus Heresy, when. the fledgling

the Battle of Calth, the Ultramarines Legion and other forces involved in this cataclysmic and deadly betrayal. This book also includes a campaign system and new
and updated rules for the Ultramari.nes, the Word Bearers and Imperial Titans, as well as a new Imperialis Militia & Cults army list, and new units for the Legiones

Astartes Crusade army list and the forces ofthe Mechanicum.
