Warhammer 40.000: Wake the Dead

Vorwort

The proud Aeldari of Saim-Hann once sought to assist Humanity in the defence of Vigilus — a world beset on all sides by unceasing, brutal conflict — but an act of xenophobic slaughter by soldiers of the Imperium has turned ally to foe, and the warriors of the Wild Host have sworn a blood oath to exact vengeance. No one can prevent them — no one except, perhaps, the Ultramarines. These superhuman, gene-forged warriors are humanity's greatest champions, peerless masters of strategy who have defended the Imperium for millennia. With bolt and blade, they assert the sovereignty of Vigilus.

Warhammer 40,000: Wake the Dead is a boxed set containing two armies split across the forces of the Ultramarines — the iconic Space Marines Chapter who have defended humanity for thousands of years — and the Wild Host of Saim-Hann, hot-blooded, daredevil warriors whose skill cannot be understated. You can use these miniatures to act out the scenarios described in the Wake the Dead book — four connected missions that recreate the violence on Vigilus — and use them to expand your games of Warhammer 40,000, with rules included for the Primaris Lieutenant and Craftworlds Spiritseer exclusive to this set!

- War Zone Vigilus: a brief history of this embattled world – a vital supplier of materiel for the Imperium – and the events leading to the bitter clashes that dominate the surface;

- Craftworlds: a primer on the Asuryani of the Craftworlds, a race desperately fighting to preserve its culture and punish its foes;
