    "Across the Warp the mightiest of Psykers and Warp-Predators noticed what occurred. Far away on the Bucephalus, the Master of Mankind let a small smile slip. The Angel had taken to the skies once again. Upon some distant Craftworld a prodigy ended his meditation with a shock. Feeling the future change in a storm of golden fire and silver wings. A green-skinned behemoth took a moment to pause as it throttled a rival and sniffed the air. Some ancient bestial instinct told him a fight was coming. The Chaos Gods paused the clash within the Warp, only to peer into the Materium and observe the one they coveted above all."
  • The Last Stand of Khazrik Hold against Ork WAAAGH!
    • The Squats have been pushed to their last world and the Orks are coming with a ship that is the sized of a small planet. What do they do? Use a planet-sized cannon that launches the molten adamantium core of the planet upon the ship, stopping it dead on its tracks.
