Lox and the Emperor sought Aeldari help and wraithbone to produce materials for restoring the human Webway. Cegorach arrived with Eldrad and Mortarion, and the chapter ended with the first batch of Webway-like material emerging from Lox's machine.

• The Emperor explained that he had built the human Webway by reassembling salvaged materials and reinforcing them with psychic power, then said he would not let the project be delayed again.

Vect led them into a Haemonculus Coven experimental zone, where they faced its grotesque guardians and the chapter ended with the battle underway.

• Jaghatai Khan struggled to sense the Heart of Plague through Commorragh's shifting labyrinth, so Lion used Vect's communicator to summon their guide.
• Asdrubael Vect led the primarchs and Astartes through Commorragh, repeatedly steering them into Drukhari strongholds, where they destroyed thirteen powerful kabals.

As the Astartes came under attack from Vect’s allies, Chagatai urged the surrounded forces to concentrate on breaking through toward the artifact.

• Jaghatai Khan, the White Scars, and the Dark Angels destroyed the research base’s defenses while advancing toward the Heart of Pestilence.

• Chagatai identified the Heart of Plague’s location and ordered the surrounded forces to concentrate their attack and break through.

Lion’s force was caught between Vect’s Drukhari allies and a growing host of Nurgle’s followers, while Fabius Bile arrived seeking the Haemonculi’s knowledge. The battle in Commorragh became a five-way free-for-all as the Webway ruptured further.

• Vect revealed that the Wych Cults and Incubi had joined the ambush, and Lion sent Garrad and the Dark Angels’ Inner Circle to attack Drazhar while the other Primarchs deployed their elite troops.
• Garrad’s warriors fought Drazhar, who wounded Garrad and killed an Inner Circle Dark Angel, while Vect watched and explained Drazhar’s origins as Arhra, a former Phoenix Lord.
• The Heart of Pestilence strengthened the Haemonculi’s monsters, and Jaghatai sensed that its power had drawn the Warp’s attention as the Webway tears widened.
• Ku'gath, Typhus, and a host of Nurgle’s daemons and Death Guard emerged through the ruptured Webway to seize the Heart of Pestilence.
• Fabius Bile and the fallen Emperor’s Children arrived after the Slaanesh daemons were driven back, and Bile ordered them to capture the Haemonculi alive and hunt the Dark Eldar.

Lion El'Jonson and the other Primarchs held back while Nurgle's forces tied down the Dark Eldar, but Lucius and the Emperor's Children then stormed Vekt's defenses and entered the Haemonculi experimental base. Lion finally prepared to attack, intent on killing the traitors and taking Commorragh for humanity.

• Lion El'Jonson, Jaghatai Khan, and Russ let Nurgle's daemon host and the Death Guard fight the Dark Eldar while the Space Marines held their position and waited for the Emperor's Children to reveal themselves.
• Ku'gath and Typhus led Nurgle's forces into a grinding battle against the Dark Eldar, whose forces struggled against the daemons' resilience and plague-ridden attacks.

• Vekt sent bioweapons to stop the Emperor's Children, while Lion El'Jonson prepared to attack and destroy the traitors.

Lucius fought his way into the Haemonculi experimental base, where he battled Candice and Drazhar while Fabius Bile entered to seize the covens’ research.

• Bile declared that he aimed to create Astartes capable of reproducing before pursuing his larger goal of creating female primarchs, shocking Lucius, Candice, and Drazhar.

Fabius Bile forced Master Heliopolis to surrender the Haemonculi covens and their knowledge as Commorragh’s defenses collapsed. Lion El'Jonson, Leman Russ, and Jaghatai Khan then killed Ku'gath, leaving the unstable Heart of Pestilence exposed.

• Fabius Bile offered Heliopolis a place in his research enterprise and warned that the Primarchs and the Emperor threatened Commorragh, while Candice and Drazhar tried to stop the Haemonculus master from accepting.
• When the experimental base began to collapse and human forces closed in, Heliopolis ordered the Haemonculi to cease resistance and surrender; Bile sent Lucius to escort them and their data cores out.
• Vect ordered the surviving Black Heart warriors, Wyches, and Incubi to retreat with him, while the Nurgle daemon host and Death Guard surged toward the Heart of Pestilence.
• Leman Russ charged Ku'gath, Jaghatai Khan wounded the Great Unclean One with the White Tiger Dao, and Lion El'Jonson joined the assault as their forces battered it.
• Lion El'Jonson decapitated Ku'gath, whose body exploded and devastated the experimental base; the Heart of Pestilence remained flickering nearby.

Typhus’s self-destruction drove the Heart of Pestilence to the brink of detonation, but the Emperor arrived and sealed it before Commorragh could be destroyed. After his forces conquered the city, the Emperor declared Commorragh humanity’s territory and ordered Dorn and Perturabo to turn it into an Imperial fortress.

• The Emperor erased signs of Dark Eldar rule, named Commorragh humanity’s rightful territory, and assigned Dorn and Perturabo to fortify it.

Asdrubael Vect escaped Commorragh with a small band of Dark Eldar just before the Emperor’s psychic assault and Slaanesh’s feast destroyed nearly all who remained. After humanity secured the ruined city, the Emperor proposed an audacious raid on Nurgle’s Plague Garden to rescue Isha, leaving the story poised for an attack on a Chaos God’s domain.

• Asdrubael Vect ordered his followers to flee Commorragh and gathered Drazhar, Kandis, and two other Archons aboard his escape ark.
• The Emperor’s psychic light devastated Commorragh, and Slaanesh devoured the souls of nearly all the Dark Eldar still inside.
• Vect’s group pledged to follow him, and Vect chose to seek the Biel-Tan Craftworld while considering ways to protect their souls.
• The Emperor declined to pursue the fleeing Dark Eldar, while Rogal Dorn began organizing the restoration of Commorragh.
