Legiones Astartes (Beta 1.2)

The galaxy is in flames. The Emperor of Mankind’s vision for humanity is in ruins.
His fa-
voured son, the Warmaster Horus Lupercal, has rebelled against his father and embraced Chaos.
Their armies - the Legiones Astartes, eighteen mighty Space Marine Legions - are locked in a bru-
tal civil war. Fully half have sided with the Warmaster, whilst the rest remain loyal to the Emper-
or. Pre-eminent amongst them, the leaders of the Legions are the primarchs - the crowning
achievement of the Emperor’s genetic science. Thrust into battle against their brothers, victory is
uncertain for either side.
Worlds are burning. At Isstvan V, Horus dealt a vicious blow and three loyal Legions were
all but destroyed. War was begun, a conflict that will engulf all mankind in fire. Treachery and
betrayal have usurped honour and nobility. Assassins lurk in every shadow. Armies are gather-
ing. All must choose a side or die.
Horus musters his armada, Terra itself the object of his wrath. Seated upon the Golden
Throne, the Emperor waits for his wayward son to return. Meanwhile Malcador the Sigillite, the
Regent of Terra and right hand of the Emperor, is gathering men and women of inquisitive na-
ture, hunters who might seek the witch, the traitor, the mutant, the xenos. Amongst them are the
Knights Errant, a fledgling order of loyal Space Marines drawn from Legions on both sides of the
war.
The Imperium is in anarchy. On a million worlds, governments have cast their lot for one side
or the other. Even still, ambitious officials plot to turn their worlds to a new cause and rebels rise
up in defiance of the choice their lords have made. There is no longer any peace among the stars.
No world will be spared.
The screams of the innocent, the pleas of the righteous resound to the cruel laughter of Dark
Gods. Suffering and damnation await all should the Emperor fail and the war be lost. The age of
knowledge and enlightenment has ended.
The Age of Darkness has begun.

Heroic Sacrifice
Warmaster.
When a player is in a position to burn their final Fate
threshold to save their character’s life, they may choose
instead to burn the Fate point to make a Heroic Sacrifice.
The player declares at the start of their turn that they are
making a Heroic Sacrifice, which will last for a number of
turns equal to the character’s TB.
During this time, the character ignores all critical effects
(except those that render limbs or senses useless) and
gains one free Fate point each turn (even though a char-
acter with no Fate threshod cannot normally have Fate
points), which may be spent in the usual fashion, but is
lost at the end of the turn if not used.
At the end of the Heroic Sacrifice the character dies re-
gardless of any other factors and, having no Fate thresh-
old, cannot burn Fate to survive.
Provided the Heroic Sacrifice was neither in vain nor
compelled by the character’s Corruption, the player
should receive a suitable bonus for their next character to
honour their valiant last stand.

If the Child of the Emperor fails a Challenging (+0) WS or

making his next melee attack (if it was a WS test) or
ranged attack (if it was a BS test). He will attempt to hu-

tary glimpses of nightmare futures.
Mutation: Deathsight, Witch-Curse. If the Night Lord
has the Night Terrors Malignancy, he chooses either Pres-
cience or Foreboding as a free Psychic Power from the
Witch-Curse rather than following the usual rules (unless
he already has both).
Retribution for Sins

Rather than slay enemies outright, Night Lords will
attempt to capture them (particularly prominent figures)
to deliver their punishment over an extended period.
Fear of Punishment
The Night Lord is treated as having an Addiction to caus-
ing Fear, which functions in the same way as Addiction
to drugs. An enemy must fail the Fear test to satisfy his
craving, there is no penalty for Excessive Drug Use and
the Addiction cannot be overcome.
Sinful Nature
Whenever the Night Lord cannot satisfy his Addiction to
Fear with the terror of his enemies, he will make do with
causing Fear in civilians or his allies - by flaying them
alive if need be. Failure to feed his addiction causes him
to temporarily reduce his WP by d5 (cumulative if he
fails to cause Fear for more than one addiction interval).
This temporary WP damage cannot begin to heal until he
has satisfied his Addiction.
Fear Incarnate
The Night Lord’s Addiction is satisfied only by causing
victims to gain Insanity points by failing the Fear test by
3 or more DoF. He will go to ever more extreme lengths
to achieve this and considers allies and civilians a close
second-best as victims rather than a last resort.

Command tests targeting the Son of Horus suffer a -10

Decapitating Strike
The Son of Horus always seeks out the leader of the ene-
my, disengaging from lesser battles (but never fleeing) in
order to engage the most important, powerful or other-
wise most impressive enemy in sight. He will only hesi-
tate or wait for assistance (but never ask for it) if the ene-
my is obviously more powerful than he could hope to
best on his own.
First Among Equals

If the Son of Horus is disobeyed or upstaged by an ally, it
is liable to lead to hostility - especially if his ally claimed
the kill on an enemy leader. The Son of Horus will repri-
mand his ally severely, striking him if he fails a Challeng-
ing (+0) WP test.
Apex Killer
The Son of Horus will attempt to kill enemy leaders sin-
gle-handedly, no matter how powerful they are, making
a Heroic Sacrifice in an attempt to take the enemy with
him if he falls. An ally who disobeys an order or steals
his prize kill will be killed for his temerity.
