On a shattered planet, amid endless darkness and wails, the modified planetary fragments that had emerged from the realm of Chaos filled the broken continental masses with Chaos's minions.
There were mountains of spines and twisted flesh, beneath layers upon layers of mechanical technology concealing countless daemons lured and beguiled into service.

The human Imperium possessed at least a million planets.
But now, only half of those planets remained temporarily in humanity's hands. The other half were confined to the Imperium's dark side, a dark side where they could not see what was truly happening.
Unit after unit, horde after horde of daemons emerged from Chaos's Great Rift.
