Grombrindal calls on players to join the struggle over a planet whose destruction is already certain. The approaching warp storm supplies a common deadline, but each army can still win glory or achieve its own purpose before the end. He also introduces the new Gotrek and Felix collector’s models as a celebration of characters whose adventures have earned a particularly dramatic treatment.

The campaign connects games played at home, in clubs and at organised events through a shared account of Medusa V’s final weeks. Its industrial importance derives from the swift warp route of Van Grothe’s Rapidity, but that same phenomenon is now producing the storm that will kill the planet. Players report results for their factions and pursue objectives across varied battlefields, with the outcome determining who secures their aims before the deadline rather than whether the world survives.

Adam Troke and Graham McNeill defend the Imperial officials against Andy Hoare’s Death Guard and Mat Ward’s Black Legion. Prepared firing positions wreck the initial Chaos artillery, but a destroyed Chimera slows the rescue and Grulgor kills the Ultramarines Librarian before the Terminators tear down the Daemon Prince. Sicarius ultimately fights through the airborne attackers to deliver the Governor to the shuttle. Leaving the aides behind secures an Imperial victory of 500 to 250 points, while the players reflect on objective discipline, resilient cityfighting infantry and the equipment that might have stopped the escape.
