Gav Thorpe recounts the opening movements of the invasion as Archaon’s generals pursue separate paths towards Middenheim. Feytor spreads disease, Styrkaar devastates settlements and Melekh seeks a northern approach. Garagrim’s Slayers march into the wastes while Ungrim prepares to face Crom in Peak Pass. Grimgor forces a river crossing, and the Imperial Engineers bring experimental weapons to Castle Lenkster as the defenders organise their response.

Distinctive flesh colours emphasise the Elves’ inhuman appearance, and mortal Chaos Warriors broaden the cult’s ranks.
