Editing Betrayal at Calth

'''Betrayal at Calth''' is a [[Horus Heresy]]-themed board game released by [[Games Workshop]] on November 11, 2015.

The main premise of the game is that you and another goon are playing as [[Word Bearers]] and [[Ultramarines]] fighting in come close-quarters.  However, this isn't set up like a typical wargame, allaying any fears that GW is trying to horn in on the semblance of balance FW gave. 

This is all well and good, but the real reason people picked it up is because of its contents: It's the first of hopefully many HH sets that can now be bought as plastic as opposed to the more delicate [[Forge World]] resin.  A single box contains the following models:
* A Terminator Captain
* A Chaplain
* 14 Mark IV Marines, with a large array of guns to arm them with
* 5 Terminators, also armed with some guns as well as chainfists.
* A Contmptor Dreadnought, able to take either a twin-linked assault cannon or multi-melta.

Also on top of that, each of the non-character sets can be customized with the FW stuff (A notion FW itself has caught on by packaging marine conversion kits for each Legion) and become combined as a small army at a cost considerably less than buying the same contents as resin.
