Der mächtige Nekromant Nagash ist nach seiner Niederlage gegen die Priesterkönige auf dem Schlachtfeld gezwungen, in die Berge von Nehekhara zu fliehen. Dort gewinnt er langsam seine Stärke wieder und verbündet sich mit den Skaven - mutierten Rattenmenschen, die unter der Erde leben. Unter seinem neuen Lager, dem Krüppelgrat, entdeckt der Nekromant etwas Dunkles und Mächtiges - Warpstein. Dieses von den Skaven begehrte magische Gestein könnte Nagash unbesiegbar machen.

It wasn’t long ago that liberal icons, including the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, were against the idea of overhauling the court for political gain. But now, in the Biden era, more and more powerful Democrats are getting behind the cause, claiming the high court is broken and actively dismantling our democracy. Even Joe Biden—who once called court-packing a “bonehead idea”—gave in to the progressive wing of his party, appointing a committee to examine “reforms” to the court after being sworn in as president.

Als sich die Kunde von Horus' Verrat in der Galaxis verbreitet, müssen die Space-Marine-Legionen entscheiden, auf wessen Seite sie sich stellen - auf die des Imperators oder des aufständischen Kriegsherrn.
