  THE HORUS HERESY
  
  It is a time of legend.
  
  Mighty heroes battle for the right to rule the galaxy. The vast armies of the
  Emperor of Earth have conquered the galaxy in a Great Crusade – the myriad
  alien races have been smashed by the Emperor’s elite warriors and wiped from
  the face of history.
  
  The dawn of a new age of supremacy for humanity beckons.
  
  Gleaming citadels of marble and gold celebrate the many victories of the
  Emperor. Triumphs are raised on a million worlds to record the epic deeds of
  his most powerful and deadly warriors.
  
  First and foremost amongst these are the primarchs, superheroic beings who
  have led the Emperor’s armies of Space Marines in victory after victory. They
  are unstoppable and magnificent, the pinnacle of the Emperor’s genetic
  experimentation. The Space Marines are the mightiest human warriors the galaxy
  has ever known, each capable of besting a hundred normal men or more in
  combat.
