Description

The Invasion Begins

The Nachmund Gauntlet—once the Imperium’s most vital and stable route across the Great Rift—has become a highway of war. What was once a lifeline for reinforcements from Holy Terra is now a dark passage for the relentless advance of the Traitor Legions. Abaddon the Despoiler’s forces have smashed their way through this critical corridor, spearheaded by his ruthless herald, Haarken Worldclaimer. Only the Sanctus Wall, a hastily fortified line of loyalist systems, remains to stem the tide—its defenses already compromised by treachery within. On the embattled world of Sangua Terra, grand plans of conquest and desperate last stands unfold, where bold heroism clashes with ultimate betrayal.

This 120-page hardcover is a Crusade expansion for Warhammer 40,000, immersing you in the gripping narrative of the battle for the Nachmund Gauntlet. Follow the brutal campaign as Haarken Worldclaimer enacts his ruthless strategies, and take part in the war with a wealth of new rules for narrative play, army progression, and custom campaigns.
