After Bonecrusher’s Orks wiped out Leviathan’s Tyranid tendril in Octarius, an even larger Tyranid fleet began gathering for revenge. As Bonecrusher prepared the sector for war, Liu Zhipeng proposed a three-layer defensive strategy and began outlining its first two lines.

Liu Zhipeng’s salvage tactic turned the battle on Orkutar into a chaotic stalemate as Orks and Tyranids fought over battlefield wreckage. After Grakka “Face-Rippa” arrived to take command of the front, Liu planned to lead an assault into the Tyranid rear and kill its synapse leaders.

• Tyranid raiders attacked Orks trying to salvage corpses and wreckage, sparking scattered fights over valuable remains.

• A Gretchin operator reported that Grakka had landed with Choppa Boyz, and Liu decided to hand him the frontline meat grinder.
• Liu Zhipeng told Grakka that he planned to take elite Boyz into the Tyranid rear to kill their leaders, and asked Grakka to hold the front.

• Git and Gurlo collapsed a cavern with explosives, burying hundreds of Genestealers and several Tyranid Warriors.
• Grakka pursued the leaderless Tyranids until a Gretchin warned him that huge bugs had surfaced near the mushroom beer warehouse.

Liu Zhipeng and the Tunnel Rat Boyz lured the Broodlord away from its guards and collapsed a cavern on it, killing the Broodlord and nearby Genestealers. Liu escaped the collapse and returned to the squad’s rendezvous point.

• Digger Serpents broke into the Orks’ rear lines, but the Orks fought back and destroyed them after their Tyranid commanders had been buried by Liu Zhipeng and the Tunnel Rat Boyz.

• The cavern collapsed, crushing the Broodlord, its nest, and the nearby Genestealers, while Liu escaped and rejoined the Tunnel Rat Boyz.

Liu Zhipeng and his Tunnel Rat Boyz killed Tyranid Synapse Creatures underground, helping Face-Rippa Grakka crush the confused swarm on the surface. Their success led them to a silent underground volcano, where Liu sensed a trap and ordered an immediate retreat.

• Liu kicked a caged Squig into the cavern, noticed its cries made no echo, and roared for the team to retreat.

Liu Zhipeng’s Ork squad was ambushed by Lictors in the volcanic ruins, and Gurlo sacrificed himself with a massive explosion to open an escape route. As the survivors charged through, the Tyrant emerged from the darkness and stopped them with its psychic presence.

• Lictors revealed themselves and launched a surprise attack on Liu Zhipeng’s squad, killing and maiming the Orks in a one-sided massacre.
• Liu Zhipeng ordered Big Bomb B Gurlo to blast a way out of the encirclement.
• Gurlo charged into the Lictors with his explosives and detonated them, tearing open a gap and triggering a cave-in.
• Liu Zhipeng carried Git “Keen-Ear” and led fewer than thirty surviving Orks toward the escape route.
• The Tyrant emerged from the darkness and its psychic pressure slowed the fleeing Orks.

• After three days of surgery, Liu’s consciousness left his broken body and waited in the void for the system to reincarnate him.
• A powerful WAAAGH! voice seized Liu’s soul and drew him into a green ocean, where he witnessed Gork and Mork wrestling.

Gork and Mork sent Liu Zhipeng to Cadia to provoke a spectacular fight, empowering his soul with WAAAGH! energy before he returned to his body. Grotsnik’s surgery transformed Toothy Big Chomper into a half-Ork, half-machine, part-Tyranid monstrosity, who rebooted with his consciousness intact.

• Gork and Mork called the battle at Octarius boring and showed Liu Zhipeng the standoff around Cadia.
