Warhammer 40K Crusade - Nachmund Gauntlet (Inbunden) [WH40K]

The Invasion Begins

The Nachmund Gauntlet is the largest and most stable of the known routes across the Great Rift. Once a lifeline to deliver reinforcements to those cut off from Holy Terra, it is now a channel through which the destructive treachery of the Traitor Legions can flow from the Imperium Nihilus. The forces of Abaddon the Despoiler have bludgeoned their way through the Nachmund Gauntlet, with his herald – Haarken Worldclaimer – at their speartip. Only the hastily defended Sanctus Wall of loyal systems stand poised to resist, already weakened by heretical agents. On the fortified world of Sangua Terra, grand strategies of conquest and defiance are entwined with bold heroism and darkest betrayal.

This 120-page hardback book is a Crusade expansion for Warhammer 40,000. It captures the rich narrative of the battle for the Nachmund Gauntlet as Haarken Worldclaimer unveils his grand strategies of conquest and defiance. The book also includes the rules to play narrative games, build and upgrade a Crusade army between battles, and run your own campaigns.
