The Battle of Molech: The Preceptory LineA Horus Heresy narrative event at JustPlay Liverpool

Date: Saturday 5 December 2026

Time: 10:00am-6:00pm

Ticket price: £25

Allegiance: Loyalist or Traitor

Army size: 3,000 points, plus up to 5 Battlefield Asset Points

Please purchase the ticket for your preferred allegiance.

The Setting

Molech is an Imperial world like any other: colonised during the Dark Age of Technology and reclaimed from Old Night by the Emperor himself.

Guarded by honourable Knightly Houses, hosts of Solar Auxilia and representatives from at least four Legions, there is no more formidable fortress world in the Segmentum.

But something stirs beneath its gilded facade: a warp-borne secret, the gateway to everything the Emperor required and the Warmaster desires...

The fleet has shattered. The Traitors have landed. Rumours persist of corrupt, empyreal entities running rampant. All that stands between them and the mass of Imperial citizenry is the thinly guarded Preceptory Line.

The Speartip thrust is about to strike.

Event Format

This is a one-day narrative event comprising two bespoke, story-driven missions, pitching the Traitor Legions and their allies against the Loyalist defenders.

The missions favour a combination of armour and infantry, representing the Warmaster's Speartip assault forces and the Defenders of Molech. Line remains important but will not be a key multiplier. As Molech is a Knight World, special rules and conditions concerning Knights will also apply.

This is not a competitive event. Armies should be built with narrative character rather than maximum competitive efficiency.

Initial games will be played against randomly selected opponents from the opposing allegiance. Results and army composition will influence subsequent match-ups. Every game will affect the final round and help determine which allegiance wins the day.

There are no individual awards for scoring the most Victory Points. However, unusual achievements and memorable moments may be rewarded.

Players must bring:

A 3,000-point army matching the allegiance on their ticket

Up to 5 Battlefield Asset Points
