Imperial Armour Volume Seven - The Siege of Vraks Part Three

The Siege of Vraks concludes…

The fall of Vraks to the renegade army of Apostate-Cardinal Xaphan meant the loss of a vital Armoury world. To retake the planet would require hard fighting in a long war of attrition, but the Imperium calculated that they could grind down the defenders and retake the Fortress of Vraks in twelve years of siege warfare.

Eighteen years later and Vraks has not fallen. The Chaos forces have grown strong, reinforced by the Traitor legions of Khorne and Nurgle. They have fought the Imperium to a stalemate in a bitter war that seems to have no end.

But Vraks is a world about to explode into a terrible daemonic incursion. The Chaos gods have willed it, and so their daemon-servants and Daemon Engines are now pouring onto Vraks and threatening to overrun the beleaguered Krieg siege regiments. To avert disaster the daemon-fighting Ordo Malleus must step in, aided by loyal Space Marine Chapters and under the heroic leadership of Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex. They will fight alongside the Grey Knights, and together drive the daemons from Vraks and strive to re-capture the once impregnable Citadel of Vraks.

This book is heavily illustrated with over 55 colour and black & white pictures, 70 full colour vehicle profiles, 12 technical drawings, plus organisation charts and scenarios to add new depth to the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Also included are additions to the forces of Chaos, daemons and Daemon Engines, including the fearsome Chaos Reaver Titan and a complete Renegade and Heretic ‘Servants of Decay’ army list. You’ll find rules for the Nurgle master-sorcerer Necrosius and the cunning leader of the Skulltakers, the infamous Zhufor the Impaler. The Appendices section contains all the rules you need to use super-heavy vehicles and aircraft in your games. Also included in this book is a third Siege of Vraks poster.

For Warhammer 40,000 enthusiasts this book provides an overview of the
epic finale of the war on Vraks.
