A bit of a thread revival, but I'd be happy for a POD release for more combat cards for each faction. In my games, I've found that the cards recycle way too quickly.

With the Horus Heresy books still being released, I did wonder whether there might be any game tie-ins with those books. The Istvaan V massacre springs to mind, plus a host of other things that happened in the first 5 books. Even something based on the Dark Angels world of Caliban.

On reflection though, this seems unlikely. Most of the battles that I read about in the books tend either to go to whichever side had the Astartes, or if both sides had Astartes it's usually one-sided in favour of Horus. Nice bit of fluff, but I doubt it makes for a good game to stick rigidly to it and design the scenario so that one side finds it easier to win. The battle for Terra is probably the only part of the Horus Heresy where there was any uncertainty in to who was going to win - and probably the only part of the Horus Heresy that deserves a game.

That being said, I haven't actually read all the books yet; I got a bit tired of them after Fallen Angels due to the cataclysmic end of the world that seems to happen in all of them.

I'm so keeping my fingers crossed for that one (with the only difference of keeping the 3D terrain). It adds a certain UMPH to the whole game experience.

Some decks, like the hero decks, do recycle very quickly. The combat deck is ok but could also use a bit more variety. They could have a new rule where you could have a choice of what cards to include in your decks so as to not go past a certain limit. I think that would add another strategic layer to the game as well as allowing for new cards. Scenarios could be added. As for the figures, the most glaring omission, the Sons of Horus, should be one of the things they could address. Which brings me to a question I'm sure has been asked before: why were they not included in the first place?

All of this, of course, in the assumption that the game is popular enough to merit an expansion.

One thing that springs to mind would be an expansion for the combat/ hero decks.

Unfortunately, the combat cards' special abilities rely far too heavily on the color-coded 'devoted' units to include an undivided legion like the Sons of Horus (which, i guess has been the reason for their omission in the first place).

All things said, HH seems quite complete without an expansion, as opposed to Descent, for example.

I would love an expansion for this. Or just another 40k game made with these mechanics

 I'd personally like to see a "First War for Armageddon" expansion.

Space Wolves, Imperial Army and Grey Knights vs World Eaters, Cultists, Traitors, Mutants and Daemons.

I'd also like to see a miniatures expansion like the recent Arkham Horror one, with models for each of the heroes. 

IMHO some hero figures would be really cool especially considering the resources available at GW

As for me an expansion could be smallish.

I am using my "40K Planetary Empires" tiles, 2 sets, as well as my "Warhammer Mighty Empires" tiles, 2 sets as well.

This allows me to expand my game board and turn it into any planet I like, or want it to be.

At least 192 hex tiles worth so far. Well 204 including the Hive City tiles I have.

I held off for awhile but I'm going to do it, I'm hooking some of the "Space-Port" tiles together.

Then flipping them over and filling them. So I can then secure the fortifications & the "Emperor's Palace" to them.

All I need for an expansion is the other Space Marine Chapters to get a set of "Legion Designator Discs" so they can be fielded.

A miniature of each of the Primarchs. Maybe some "Space Marine Landraiders" as well as some "Imp Walkers." And different "Titans" Please.

Things that would look cool on the board.

Cards to work with the new units & leaders. Some rules for invading Hives etc.

A Scenerio Book for the pivital invasions and battles in the book series to round out the box.

Say the first expansion covers the first 10 books. The second expansion covers the next 10 books.

Maybe even an expansion to cover the audio books?

What do you guys think?

The Corrupted One

I wonder if there ever would be a better theme ( after the siege of Terra ) for a Horus Heresy expansion or even a stand-alone game than the "Iron Cage incident" .

Look it up .

It was another golden page in the History of the Iron Warriors Legion .
