Having clashed with Calgar's army numerous times, the Hive Mind had learnt much from Calgar and the tactics that he employed. Having identified the Chapter Master as the main threat to the Tyranid advance, the Hive Mind created and despatched the deadly Tyranid bioform later classified in Imperial records as the Swarmlord. The Swarmlord was the monster who led the final assaults on Tyran and Thandros, honing strategies of encirclement and misdirection against their human opponents. In Codex: Tyranids (5th Edition), the Battle Barge Caesar is described as being destroyed over Macragge during the battle [1a]; however, in the novel The Chapter's Due by Graham McNeill, the Caesar is still operational and serves as Calgar's flagship on his way to confront the Daemon Prince M'kar over Talassar, where it is critically damaged by the Bloodborn fleet and crashes in the planet's ocean. [6] The Battle for Macragge’s essence lies in its iconic last stand. The Studio Team captured the evolving nature of the battle, from the initial fortress defense to the final stand against annihilation. The asymmetric mission design encapsulates the narrative’s essence while maintaining gameplay balance. Richly emotional and inspiring, last stands are a storytelling treasure, and this mission aims to honor that sentiment.

The Warhammer 40,000 universe entered a bold new era with the release of Dark Imperium in 2017. The Great Rift had torn open across the galaxy, all but dividing the Imperium in two. Meanwhile, the Avenging Son had been reborn and returned to Terra, even as his own realm of Ultramar was beset by the foetid forces of his brother Mortarion – the latter being the very setting for the narrative of this incredible boxed set. Oh, and did we mention the emergence of the Primaris Space Marines? With Space Marines being the bread & butter of 40k forces, and with recent complaints of GW’s ongoing price inflations – This is a fantastic way of getting hands-on with a larger force for a little less. Ok, let’s get on with it.

Chapter Approved: Arks of Omen: Grand Tournament Mission Pack

Contents: Adrax Agatone, 20 Intercessors, 3 Eradicators, 3 Aggressors, 2 (?) Salamanders Upgrade Sprue Responsibility for this undertaking fell to Chaplain Ortan Cassius, whose hatred for the Tyranids and all they had done to the worlds of Mankind knew no bounds. Cassius petitioned Marneus Calgar for the authorisation to raise a new body of Ultramarines drawn from the ranks of those Astartes who had survived the First Tyrannic War. Only those Space Marines who had been tested like he had could truly understand the threat posed by the Tyranids. Marneus Calgar eventually acceded to the Chaplain's request. With the Chapter Master's sanction given, for the first time in the Chapter's history, the dictates of the Codex Astartes were re-written. Contents: Marneus Calgar and Victrix Honor Guard, Chief Librarian Tigurius, 3 Bladeguard Veterans, 10 Intercessors, 10 Hellblasters, 2 (?) Ultramarines Upgrade Sprues
