The Invasion Begins
The Nachmund Gauntlet is the largest and safest known route through the Great Rift. Once a lifeline through which reinforcements were sent to those cut off from Holy Terra, it is now a channel through which the destructive malevolence of the Traitor Legions pours from the Imperium Nihilus. The forces of Abaddon the Despoiler have fought their way through the Nachmund Gauntlet, with his herald, Haarken Worldclaimer, at the spearhead. Only the hastily defended Sanctus Wall of loyal systems stood ready to resist, already weakened by heretical agents. On the fortress world of Sangua Terra, brave heroism and grim betrayal entwine around the grand strategists of conquest and resistance.
This 120-page hardcover book is a Crusade expansion for Warhammer 40,000. It covers the detailed history of the battle for the Nachmund Gauntlet, where Haarken Worldclaimer reveals his grand strategies of conquest and resistance. The book also contains the rules for narrative games, how to build and improve a Crusade army between battles, and how to play your own campaigns.
