Journal Tactica: Zone Mortalis

Journal Tactica: Zone Mortalis is a softcover gaming supplement for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. It contains the Age of Darkness Zone Mortalis Core Rules and the Clearance Protocol Mission Pack, giving players new ways to fight brutal close-quarters battles during the Horus Heresy.

These rules are designed for recreating conflicts fought within the cramped interiors of hives, hab-zones, corridors, chambers, and fortified complexes across the Imperium. If you want to add claustrophobic battlefields, new missions, and specialist unit profiles to your games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, this supplement provides everything needed to bring Zone Mortalis warfare to the tabletop.

Zone Mortalis Battles In The Age Of Darkness

Zone Mortalis games focus on enclosed environments where movement, terrain, doorways, and confined spaces create a very different battlefield experience. This supplement introduces rules for the unique terrain and conditions found in these deadly battle zones, helping you stage tense, tactical engagements between loyalist and traitor forces.

The included Clearance Protocol Mission Pack adds six new missions, along with new objectives and maps, giving Horus Heresy players more variety when building narrative or matched play battles around close-quarters warfare.
