GW Reveals New Fluff On the Escalating Cadian Conflict

By Rob Baer | May 6th, 2017 | Categories: Tabletop Gaming News, Warhammer 40k

Cadia may have broke, but the Guard never did. Checkout the new knowledge bombs from GW today on the escalating Cadian conflict.

Games Workshop just dropped the latest fluff installment on the events that happened after the fall of Cadia:

The planet’s stubborn defence also bought the Imperium precious time to entrench forces on neighbouring worlds and systems; siege works were dug, artillery emplaced, and weapons raised to the sky to await the coming onslaught.

Abaddon was successful though, and following the fall of Cadia (and possibly, because of it) a great warp rift rent the galaxy in half, allowing the forces of Chaos to launch their attacks across the entire length of the Imperium.

Poised around the Eye sits a force of Space Marines rivalling that of the Legions of old, entire Knight Households, and of course, the orphans of Cadia themselves – more than 200 regiments of Astra Militarum shock troops eager for vengeance.

Cadia may have broken; the Guard, have not.

Cool new background on the latest from the Cadian Sector. Check back tomorrow as they promised to tease; “how the biggest models in the game will work”.
