GLOBAL
DESTRUCTION
DESTRUCTION
GLOBAL
The bitter tale of invasion, desperation and heroism that unfolded during the War of Beasts was only the
beginning. There was an even greater threat to Vigilus, the Nachmund Gauntlet and the Imperium Nihilus as a
whole – that of the Warmaster Abaddon, and the dread legions of Chaos that marched at his command.
The Cicatrix Maledictum forever
changed the Imperium of Man, and
as it tore open across the length
of the galaxy, a thousand new
wars began. In the Segmentum
Obscurus, the populous but arid
planet Vigilus became a point of
crucial strategic importance. That
world lay at the northern end of the
Nachmund Gauntlet, one of the few
stable corridors across the Great
Rift. Through its haunted reaches,
spacecraft could cross from the
heartlands of the Imperium Sanctus
to the desperate and anarchic
Imperium Nihilus and back again
with at least some chance of
arriving at their destination intact.
Yet as the Great Rift opened it
disgorged an invasion fleet of
Orks that fell upon Vigilus like an
avalanche. The sudden influx of
greenskins triggered an insurrection
of Genestealer Cultists that had long
dwelt beneath the planet’s surface.
Even before the Noctis Aeterna cut
Vigilus off from the Astronomican,
its every continent was riven by
war. The name of the Vigilus System
was soon on the lips of the High
Lords of Terra themselves. The
Lord Commander of the Imperium,
the Primarch Roboute Guilliman,
swore that the planet would endure,
and sent the Chapter Master of the
Ultramarines, Marneus Calgar, to
ensure his word was true. Yet the
most awful danger to the planet
only revealed itself when warriors
of the Black Legion were sighted
amongst the planet’s spires. They
were the harbingers of Abaddon the
Despoiler himself, who approached
the beleaguered planet at the head
of a crusading force mighty enough
to conquer the entire system if
necessary. Here, on this most vital
linchpin, the forces of the Imperium
were to be tested as never before.
IN THIS BOOK
This book is the second of a two-
part series set in the Vigilus System.
It contains an overview of the war
for Vigilus thus far, from the initial
Ork invasion and the subsequent
Genestealer Cult uprising, to the
diabolical campaign of an even
more terrifying foe – the Warmaster
of Chaos, Abaddon the Despoiler.
Inside you will find:
• The history of the War of
Nightmares on Vigilus.
• Rules for playing an epic
campaign set on Vigilus,
or another planet in the
Imperium Nihilus.
• Battlezone and war zone rules that
represent the perilous environs of
this planet.
• Datasheets, Detachments, special
rules and Stratagems for the
Chaos forces that took part in this
great struggle.
A WORLD OF ARIDITY AND STRIFE
Vigilus was a world hostile to human life, though
long ago the Imperium colonised it nonetheless. It
had no oceans or seas, its only major bodies of water
being immense fortified reservoirs that were jealously
defended by those who possessed them. The planet
was riven by earthquakes, in part due to the mining
operations undertaken by the Adeptus Mechanicus
controlling the industrial realm known as
Megaborealis – these were so extensive they brought
the planet to the brink of civil war more than once,
and still the Tech-Priests would not say what it was
they sought with such desperate intensity. Because of
this, the planet’s settlements were built wide as well as
tall, the sky-scraping, mountainous hive cities joined
by thousands of miles of industrial manufactorums
and Sectors Mechanicus. Each hivesprawl, as they
were known, supplied something vital to its fellows
and imported critical resources in its turn. These
artificial continents were once protected by the
planet’s principal export, the Bastion-class force
field, a crackling perimeter defence that was as much
psy-tech as it was conventional barrier. In the early
stages of the War of Beasts, when the Orks landed
their colossal ships in the planet’s wastes, these
barriers kept them at bay. Yet when the warp storms
of the Noctis Aeterna disrupted the psy-barriers,
the greenskins gleefully invaded the hivesprawls, in
turn spurring the Genestealer Cultists to rise from
within. The Imperial counter-attacks did serious
damage to the Ork scrap cities in the wastelands and
purged many a nest of xenos cultists with fire, even
rooting out the dreaded infections of Chaos in places.
Ultimately, however, the Imperium reacted too late to
save the hivesprawls from being seized in a hundred
theatres of war. The Vigilus Senate was forced to
concede swathes of the planet to its conquerors and
instead concentrate on fighting a rearguard action in
order to have any chance of saving the planet.
