Horus Heresy Narrative 2025: The Seizing of Tempus Repono

This event is set to encourage a new army setup for existing players or build of a first army for
new players. Force Organization restrictions will be based on two different army lists based on
the outcome of the games played. As the games progress, the restrictions will lessen and will
open up to new and interesting builds from the original list.
Everything that hits the table must be fully assembled, WYSIWYG and painted. Painting
standards are 50% of the army to be fully painted for the model. Conversions of all types are
encouraged.

The Abyss was the largest ship that the Word Bearers utilized in their fleet. Another ship, a

each with their want to bring it to their side during the Horus Heresy.

1 Praetor

“The ship, while being boarded, has had none of its plasma generators running. Meteors and
small satellites have ripped through the ship, creating holes which the Praetors of both factions
have boarded through.”
Max 2 troops (Except the compulsory troops) for this starting mission.
“I have been interred into this armor for far too long. My lungs burn from the lactic bath and
chemicals that fill my lungs.” Max 1 Contemptor, Derodeo, or Leviathan Dreadnought for this

Narrative Points
Narrative points are collected via game outcomes and are tallied to the Loyalists or Traitors.
Additional points are awarded as follows:
Wearing any Heresy themed gear (Shirts or hats)
Mugs or Cups with stickers on them.
Submitting lore after the first event.
Attention!
Lists will be submitted by 1 February 2024. All late list submissions will deduct Narrative points
from the event. Also, tailor lists toward a narrative style, not tournament. Your list should not be
the most optimized you can possibly make it.
Any list submissions on the day of the event will be met with two units (rolled at random) being
forced into reserves and must walk on the deployment edge of the deploying members field to
signify the commander not being prepared for battle. (If a unit rolled is already in reserve it will
arrive one turn later after a successful reserve roll, to include drop pod units)
