Warhammer 40,000: Crusade - Nachmund Gauntlet

The Invasion Begins

The Nachmund Gauntlet stands as the largest and most stable route through the Great Rift. Once a vital lifeline for reinforcements traveling from Holy Terra, it has now become a gateway for the relentless advance of the Traitor Legions spilling from the Imperium Nihilus. The warbands of Abaddon the Despoiler have torn through this passage, led by his infamous herald – Haarken Worldclaimer. The only defense against their onslaught is the Sanctus Wall, a chain of loyalist systems hastily fortified and already infiltrated by heretical forces. On the war-torn world of Sangua Terra, the clash of grand strategies and brutal warfare intertwines with acts of heroism and ruthless betrayal.

This 120-page hardcover book is a Crusade expansion for Warhammer 40,000, chronicling the battle for the Nachmund Gauntlet as Haarken Worldclaimer enacts his dark designs. It contains the rules for immersive narrative play, allowing you to build and evolve a Crusade army, and run your own campaigns.
