Nach Jahrhunderten des Friedens versinkt das Imperium in Panik, als die Welten der Menschheit überall von Orks bedroht werden. Angriffsmonde der Orks stürzen sich in einer unerbittlichen Flut der Zerstörung auf Planet nach Planet und verheeren diese mit Gravitationswaffen von unaufhaltsamer Macht. Auf Terra sind die Hohen Senatoren vom Ausmaß der Bedrohung wie gelähmt und versäumen es daher, angemessene Maßnahmen zu ergreifen. Ganze Orden der Space Marines sind verschollen oder ausgelöscht worden. Wer hat jetzt noch den Willen und die Macht, um zur Verteidigung des Imperiums die Waffen zu ergreifen?

Die blutrünstigen World Eaters zerstören die Galaxis und bedrohen die Friedhofswelt Certus Minor. Die Space Marines der Excoriators sind zahlenmäßig unterlegen und erleiden schwere Verluste. In der Verzweiflung erscheinen düstere Geisterkrieger, die den Feinden des Imperiums entgegentreten.

Alle Versuche des Imperiums, der Bedrohung durch die Orks zu begegnen, scheinen zum Scheitern verurteilt zu sein. Es ist nur noch eine Frage der Zeit, bis die Grünhäute den Sieg davontragen und die Menschheit vom Antlitz der Galaxis gefegt wird. Doch es gibt noch Hoffnung: Der Orden der Imperial Fists ist neu erstanden und einige Schwestern der Stille haben überlebt. Mit der Unterstützung der militärischen Macht und den technischen Errungenschaften des Adeptus Mechanicus brechen die Space Marines ein letztes Mal zur Heimatwelt der Orks auf. Dieses Mal wird es keinen Rückzug geben, keine Kapitulation. Sie müssen siegen ... oder bei dem Versuch sterben.

But news has a way of spreading. Calvin and his brothers are in the fight of their lives. As a matter of fact, they're fighting for life itself.
