Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy - Core Rulebook (1st Ed)

Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy - Core Rulebook (1st Ed)

The Dark Heresy Core Rulebook, published in 2008, contains the core rules for the Dark Heresy Roleplay Game together with background lore, particularly focusing on the Calixis Sector in Segmentum Obscurus. The 1st edition of Dark Hersey (published by Black Industries/Black Library rather than Fantasy Flight who published most of the supplements) is a 395 page full colour hardback book. Character's play the part of a member of an Inquisitors retinue taking instructions from their patron Inquisitor who may be from one of the various Inquisitorial factions. A note of editions: There are two editions of Dark Hersey Roleplay which have some significant differences. The first is generally viewed as more restrictive particularly in character progression but is thought to have richer background. Most of the Dark Hersey supplements are for the 1st edition, however many gamers port them over to the 2nd. The second edition is generally thought to have a better rule system however some gamers still prefer the depth and complexity of the first. You may want to research which edition is most likely to suit you before making a purchase.

You will tread where others fear, venturing to distant planets, ancient space hulks and the unsavoury depths of the under-hive.

You will never know fame nor reward, yet if you stand resolute your deeds will be whispered to the God-Emperor of Mankind and your name will be revered for millennia.
