Slaanesh's daemonic host and the Emperor's Legion of the Damned advanced toward Khorne's newly built forge. Before long, the Warp echoed with the clanging of shattering metal and Khorne's furious roars.

Another ordinary day in the Warp.

Within his palace where he wove the web of fate, Tzeentch released an eyeball. Through the refraction and magnification of countless crystals, he could clearly watch the battle between the Emperor-Slaanesh alliance and Khorne.
