Imperial Armour Volume Twelve: The Fall of Orpheus

0/5 ( ratings)

At the dark reaches of the galaxy an ancient horror awakes. On the edge of the Segmentum Tempestus, the Orpheus Sector has stood as a bulwark against the outer darkness for millennia. Forged in war and preserved by the blood of the Imperium's soldiers, it has stood against the privations of the Orks from without and the treachery of Chaos from within, but the terror that rises to engulf it is beyond anything it has faced before.

From their cold tombs deep beneath dead and forbidden worlds, the Necron Overlords of the ancient Maynarkh Dynasty, tainted by madness and hungry for war, have risen and with them stand the undying machine legions and fearsome war engines of a lost age. Their goal is the conquest of the Orpheus Sector and the extermination of the human vermin that now infest their former domains there. Already, hundreds of worlds have fallen and villions have died before their seemingly unstoppable onslaught, but the Imperium has nto been slow to react and a vast Crusade force has been rallied to battle for the Orpheus Sector's heartlands.

The fate of an entire Imperial sector hangs on a knife-edge, but can even the superhuman warriors of the Minotaurs Chapter and the relentless armies of the Death Korps of Krieg stand before the nightmare that has come to Orpheus?
