Witness the Imperium's foremost military strategist almost single-handedly attempt to repel an Ork Waaagh! and discover how the Astra Militarum fights when outgunned and outnumbered.

THE STORY

The world of Fortuna Minoris has been overrun by Orks and its inhabitants enslaved to build weapons for the greenskins. For the Imperial forces, a seemingly hopeless battle for survival begins.

But the man in the life-pod is Arcadian Leontus, the Lord Solar, a brilliant tactician and the genius behind countless victories. Even without his armies, Leontus doesn't just want to survive this war. He wants to win it.
