The siege of Vraks continues

The fall of Vraks to the renegade army of Apostate-Cardinal Xaphan meant the loss of a vital Armoury world. A link in the long supply chain that kept the Imperial Guard regiments stationed around the Eye of Terror ready for war had been broken ­ with direst consequences should a new Black Crusade be launched from within.

To retake Vraks would require hard fighting in a long attritional war, but the Imperium calculated that with sufficient forces, they could grind down the defenders and retake the Fortress of Vraks, the nerve centre of the planet, in twelve years of siege warfare.

The Imperial Guard regiments chosen to prosecute this brutal trench war were those recruited from Krieg. The Death Korps of Krieg were men born to fight for the Emperor. Unflinchingly loyal and willing to sacrifice themselves
without question for victory, the Death Korps' guns would bludgeon the enemy into submission.

Meanwhile, the Vraksian renegades were preparing for the Imperium's attack, holding very strong defensive positions and, with the Armoury world's seemingly inexhaustible stores to plunder, they were very well equipped for the battle.

In ten years of constant war, the renegades have fought bitterly, inflicting millions of casualties on the Death Korps but gradually, remorselessly, they have been pushed back. The noose has tightened around the Fortress of Vraks and the Apostate-Cardinal is trapped in his lair, the sound of the Imperium's guns growing ever closer. And for a brief time it seemed that the end was in sight and that the renegades' strength was at last exhausted and
soon they must break. But it was not so reinforcements were on their way. The slaughter must continue and cruel gods could drink their fill of blood.
