User blog comment:Ynot0207/Horus Heresy Series v. Anthony Reynolds (Dark Apostle, Disciple, Creed)/@comment-2058084-20100517154207

I'm Sorry Ynot0207 that Anthony Reynolds ruined the series for you. But for those of us who have been around WH40k long enough to read the fluff in our space marine Codexes, the outcome of the series has never been in doubt. I for one started playing the game when it was in the first addition under the rogue trader rules. Basicaly you could say that I'm a veteran of the great crusade/horus heresy era. My first introduction to Space Marines came from the original epic game called Space Marines. That game was set during the Horus Heresy Space Marines were legions and not Chapters. Infact I couldn't even imagine how a thousand space marines could conquer a planet when the devastation I witnessed in a single game of Space Marine saw whole companies destroyed in a single turn. Also from around this same time, GW came out with a board game called the Horus Heresy that has a detailed history of the attack on earth, the finial battle between the emperor and his number one son Horus. If you are afraid of spoiling the story don't ever get copy of that game the fluff is very specific. The thing that i'm finding cool about the horus heresy series is that it reminds me of when I first started playing the game. It reminds me of the mega-battles of epic perportions, when Space Marines were countless, and Titans ruled the battle field. Personally I wish Games-workshop would invest sometime into creating a WH30K game and let us players relive the great crusade again.
