The Horus Heresy: Legions

The Horus Heresy: Legions is a digital collectible card game set during the galaxy-spanning civil war that nearly destroyed the Imperium. Players build decks representing the various Space Marine Legions, both loyalist and traitor, competing in strategic card battles. The CCG format proves surprisingly fitting for representing the tactical genius of Primarchs and their legions.

Each Legion has distinctive card designs reflecting their combat doctrines. The Imperial Fists excel at defense, the World Eaters at aggression, and the Alpha Legion at deception. Warlord choices further customize strategies, with famous characters from Horus Heresy novels appearing as powerful leader cards. The deep lore integration satisfies fans while remaining accessible to newcomers.

The economic model allows free play with optional purchases for faster collection building. Regular expansions introduce new cards and mechanics, keeping the meta evolving. Competitive seasons provide structure for dedicated players, while casual modes support experimentation.

The visual presentation draws from Horus Heresy artwork, with cards featuring illustrations from novels and game books. The atmosphere captures the tragic grandeur of the setting, with brothers turned against brothers in the defining conflict of the 41st millennium. Legions succeeds as both a CCG and a Horus Heresy experience.
