Recaps

Lynn built the Hokage Clan into a major power through the Waaagh GP, battlefield victories, and alliances with Sith. The arc left Sith’s coalition preparing to confront Tyranids secretly deployed by Rena while Lynn judged it still too weak to challenge the Deathskulls Clan.

• Toothy refused Awu’s demand to return Awen’s territory and wealth, and Daidai’s purple-clad Orks killed Awu and routed its forces.
• Lynn and Toothy seized the ranch, made Toothy chief, and expanded the Hokage Clan while Lynn established the Waaagh GP to attract Orks and build influence.
• Luna’s fleet attacked Carl II, but Chandler’s mecha forced her to retreat, and Lynn began exploiting the clans’ rivalries instead of attempting a direct assault.
• At the Elf Gork Rally, Sasuke won for the Hokage Clan despite sabotage and attacks by rival racers, and Lynn used the victory to replace the Evil Sunz in frontline command and build an assault-boat force.
• Toothy led Hokage assault boats in a raid on Imperial supply frigates, helping drive back the Imperial Fleet and increasing the clan’s prestige.
• Lynn arranged for Toothy to win Sith’s trust, then recruited the Blood Axe and Evil Sunz Clans into Sith’s camp through a campaign against the Imperium and a race followed by a night attack.
• Lynn refused Rena’s offer to unleash the entire Tyranid swarm, but later ordered small-scale raids, and Rena sent Bio-ships to seed Carl II with Tyranids.
• Toothy presented Sith with a plan for the Hokage, Blood Axe, and Evil Sunz Clans to clear the Tyranids and intercept incoming spores.

Sith’s growing ambition turned Carl II into a civil war, which Luna exploited before Rena Dahan revealed the Tyranid plot and killed Sith and Chandler. Lynn’s forces took control as the Waaagh! Field faded, while Toothy fled to Dorito and Ragnar received a warning about the Hokage Clan.

• Sith drove the Tyranids from Carl II, gained power and influence from the growing Waaagh! Field, and began seeking a war that could make him ruler.
• Lynn steered Sith toward the Bad Moons Clan, and Sith used rumors of betrayal as a pretext to purge it, drawing Chandler and the other clans into open conflict.
• Luna’s Imperial forces invaded while the Orks fought, but Rena Dahan stopped Luna’s escape and struck down Seven-Smasha, who awakened as a human aboard the Obsidian Pinnacle.
• Luna escaped after redirecting her Destined Death orb into Seven-Smasha, while Carl II descended into civil war and Sith discovered that Rena’s power could suppress his Psychic Power.
• Rena revealed her Tyranid nature to Sith and killed him as he tried to destroy Carl II, then Lynn’s Purification Crusade forces arrived and attacked the Orks.
• Rena slowed Chandler’s spinning Gargant Mech with the Whip of the Tyranids, dragged Chandler from its cockpit, and beheaded him, causing the Waaagh! Field to dissipate.
• Lynn ordered the purge of Carl II while Rena concealed the Tyranids across the station, and Toothy led the surviving Hokage Clan toward Dorito.
• Sith’s green-lit form crashed into Ragnar’s starch-jelly pot with a warning about the Hokage Clan, and the fading Waaagh! Field left Carl II’s Ork clans broken into scattered gangs.

Lynn returned to Brevis as the Imperial Tithe fleet arrived and faced demands that could starve the planet, while Orks mobilized against Carl II. As he prepared to manipulate the Imperial fleet into helping against the Orks, Dominic Ventria set out to find the Dragon of Frost, nearing the Tyranids’ hidden base.

• Lynn left Gus in command of Carl II’s defenses and returned to Brevis, where he warned Rena not to act against humanity without his permission.
• Luna returned to Brevis hoping to exploit the Tithe fleet’s arrival, while Lynn announced his victory on Carl II and rallied the planet’s guilds, scavengers, and nobles to help meet the levy.
• Dominic Ventria arrived aboard the Gemstone with Ralfa and demanded nearly two centuries of unpaid Tithes, including food, supplies, soldiers, and one thousand psykers.
• Lynn refused the impossible demands, showed Dominic records of Brevis’s recent victories and hardships, and learned that Ralfa sensed both a Tyranid-like presence and a holy presence within him.
• Dominic agreed to investigate Brevis before imposing the Tithe, while Lynn planned to stage Genestealer attacks and spread word of an approaching Tyranid fleet to draw the Imperial forces into the coming Ork conflict.
• Toothy reached Dorito and persuaded Ragnar’s forces to take him in, after which Ragnar mustered a huge fleet and sailed toward Carl II.
• Lynn learned that hundreds of millions of Orks were heading for Carl II, while Dominic reviewed reports of Lynn’s rule and decided to support him, though he remained curious about the Dragon of Frost.
• Dominic led an expedition into the ice fields to find the Dragon, and Lynn sent Sorine to watch over him and steer him away from the Tyranids’ hidden base.
• After a tribesman directed Dominic to Twin Peaks Mountain, Sorine agreed to delay his party so Rena could move experimental subjects and materials.
• Dominic’s party defeated an Ork cavalry force, but Ralfa sensed they were being watched, and a herd of more than a thousand ice-plain bison charged toward them.

Dominic and Lynn joined forces to defend Carl II from Ragnar’s Ork fleet, but Ragnar’s empowered assault reached the Gemstone and broke through its defenses. As zombies rose across Dorito, Ragnar fought his way toward the bridge, where Ralfa and the defenders faced his newly transformed strength.

• Dominic and Ralfa uncovered a Tyranid hatching site beneath Twin Peaks Mountain, then Dominic left it undisturbed and sailed for Carl II with the Tithe fleet.
• Lynn gathered his forces to reinforce Carl II, and he and Dominic discussed Ragnar’s Orks before the fleets reached the planet.
• Dominic and Gus used asteroid fortresses, hidden capital ships, and coordinated fire to inflict heavy losses on Ragnar’s advancing fleet.
• Ragnar bargained with the Stew God by giving it one-third of his supreme stew, then charged the Gemstone aboard the empowered Anna, whose pot swallowed the fleet’s attacks.
• The Anna rammed the Gemstone, and Orks boarded the ship while Lynn left the Pinnacle Black Obsidian to help Dominic hold the line.
• Zombies rose across Dorito and overwhelmed Ork tribes as Ragnar’s wrecking ball brigade fought through the Gemstone’s defensive lines.
• Ragnar’s forces broke through the ship’s defenses, and he led the surviving wrecking balls into a hall defended by Stormblades, Sisters of Silence, and Ventria Guard.
• Ralfa’s Stormblades destroyed much of the brigade, but Ragnar reached a Stormblade and smashed its driving compartment as his body transformed and Ralfa prepared to face him.
