Horus Heresy Zone Mortalis Rules

[Lord Marshal]

Bit cramped in here.

The PDF download includes a full rule set for running games of Zone Mortalis, as well as three missions designed to be run on square battlefields – perfect for the Zone Mortalis floor tile pack. It’s a great opportunity to rethink your army and try out some new unit types, as Bulky infantry get caught in confined spaces and quick assault troops bypass seemingly impenetrable firing lines. You can even kill people by shutting doors on them!It sounds like it’d be the perfect place for some close-range specialists.

 

Maybe with big shields, or something like that. Where have we seen those before…?

Bit sad/surprised not to see any ZM specific detachments included.

 

Guessing we'll see the full Breacher kit previewed tomorrow then.

 I was thinking the same. Maybe with the launch of the box GW give us a detachment with rules.

I think we'll see Valraks box of breachers, cataphractii and a leviathan.

Am I missing something here or am I just too stupid for Horus Heresy?

 

In step 3 for preparing the battlefield it says to use a 4' x 3' space, but then all of the deployment maps are 4x4 tiles so 4' x 4'?

Interesting the bulk of the rules distinctions are found in the terrain and missions, and not in the force selection or Firestorm and Shrapnel type rules. Guess that makes it easier to overlay onto different types of terrain, like city fights and whatnot.

I'm guessing it's a typo.

Nope, Reinforcement Points are gone.
