A Warhammer 40,000 omnibus

It’s a collection of brutal stories of war, heroism and honour, starring Space Marines and other Imperial soldiers battling the greenskinned invaders for the fate of Armageddon.DESCRIPTION
In the bleak 41st Millennium, the planet Armageddon is on the cusp of annihilation. The strategically vital hive world has captured the attention of infamous ork warlord Ghazghkull Thraka, and when the Astra Militarum and whole Titan Legions prove unable to halt the invasion, it is feared that both the planet and the wider sector will be lost to the greenskins. But the Imperium refuses to succumb and unleashes the Space Marines – genetically engineered warriors who thirst for naught but blood and victory. But can even this alliance of mankind’s greatest warriors hope to turn the tide against Ghazghkull and his endless ork horde?

The wits of the skyvessels’ captains – and their knowledge of the obscure tenets of the Kharadron code – will be tested, and only the most knowledgable, determined and, perhaps, willing to cheat will see victory…Written by C L Werner
