Warhammer 40,000 Crusade: Nachmund Gauntlet (German)

The Invasion Begins

The Nachmund Gauntlet is the largest and most stable of the known routes through the Great Rift. Once a lifeline bringing reinforcements to peoples cut off from Holy Terra, it is now a channel through which the destructive treachery of the Traitor Legions can flow from Imperium Nihilus. The forces of Abaddon the Despoiler, with his herald – Haarken Worldclaimer – at their spearhead, have carved a path through the Nachmund Gauntlet. Only the hastily defended Sanctus Wall of loyal systems holds, weakened by heretical agents. On the fortified world of Sangua Terra, grand strategies of conquest and defiance intertwine with bold heroism and vilest treachery.

This 120-page hardback book is a Crusade expansion for Warhammer 40,000. It captures the rich narrative of the battle for the Nachmund Gauntlet as Haarken Worldclaimer unveils his grand strategies of conquest and defiance. The book also includes the rules for narrative play, building and upgrading a Crusade army between battles, and running your own campaigns.
