The Great Crusade 6th & 7th October - Spiky Club Reading

[stalker johnson]

Mighty heroes will battle for the right to rule the galaxy! The vast armies of the Emperor of Earth set forth to conquer the galaxy in a Great Crusade. The dawn of a new age of supremacy for humanity beckons, the Emperor of Mankind has unleashed his Primarchs and, the pinnacle of the Emperor’s genetic experimentation, the Legions of the Adeptus Astartes - the Space Marines. With such forces arrayed against it, the myriad alien races will surely fall before the conquering might of the Emperor's armies - it is Mankind's Destiny to rule the stars.

 

But the races of the galaxy will not go quietly into the long night. From the super dense core stars, the mightiest Ork Waaaargh the galaxy has ever seen rolls forth as the warp storms die away and with a roar that shatters planets, they set forth to wipe all other races from the face of history.

 

From the shattered remains of their Fallen Empire, the Eldar set out across the stars and remind the lesser races why it is that their kind ruled the galaxy since before mankind's ancestors crawled out of the primordial slime. The Craftworlds reach out to another through the webway, and the blood of Khaine cries out for more blood. War calls.

 

On lightless worlds circling dead stars long forgotten, an ancient evil stirs and looks out across the galaxy it once ruled when even the Eldar were but a glimmer in the minds of the Old Ones. In the dry, dusty tombs of the Necrontyr... The Master wakes.
