SQUATS

When humans first began to explore the galaxy some of the earliest colonies were settled on the worlds towards the galactic core. At that time the mineral resources of the galactic centre were a rich prize, and thousands of specially adapted mining spacecraft set off to harvest the vast wealth of these inner planets The galactic core is characterised by extremely ancient suns which are dim in comparison with the stars of the spiral arms. Around these ancient stars orbit huge, rocky worlds, rich in minerals but in all other respects barren and lifeless. With very low...

THE BLOOD SLAUGHTERER
DAEMONIC ROBOT OF KHORNE
Amongst the greatest of Khorne’s weapons are the part magical, part technological Daemon Engines. Daemon Engines are literally daemonic machine creatures mace of iron and brass. Covered with heavy armour of black steel and marked with brass skull runes of Khorne, Daemon Engines are deadly, hulking monstrosities bristling with weapons. Their advance is almost unstoppable as they clank forward on rattling tracks or spiked wheels.
The Blood Slaughterer is a deadly opponent as it hurtles across the battlefield on its iron bound wheels, spraying...

STORMBOYZ
Stormboyz are a terrifying phenomenon in Ork society, which is worrying the more traditional Ork warriors. Stormboyz are young Orks full of militaristic fervour. They take great pride in their equipment, even to the extent of polishing their boots! They believe in strict organisation, obedience, discipline, and military prowess. Now, these are all respectable virtues among Orks — except for organisation, obedience, and discipline. Consequently, many traditional Orks think the Stormboyz take themselves too seriously, and often accuse them of “spoilin' da fun.” In Ork society...

BACKGROUND

The Genestealers are a race of aliens who seek to conquer the universe. They travel in huge, ancient, nearly derelict vessels, commonly known as space hulks, until they find a suitable planet to ‘colonize.’ victim of the Stealer truly suffers a fate worse than death. Injected with the Stealer’s egg, the victim becomes an unknowing carrier of the Stealer’s DNA pattern, and his children are born as Genestealers. These creatures, in turn, infect other humans, until the entire planet is taken over. The Emperor of Human Space has recently become aware of the Stealers’...

THE SHARE OUT
The share-out after a battle is one of the Orks’ favourite kustoms. It is presided over by the Warboss himself, aided by his retainers and a corps of Gretchin scribes to see to it that everybody gets a fair share (and that the Warboss gets the best stuff). Death Skull warbands have their own variation of this kustom, which is described later on. The most important items of booty are the really noisy and ‘shooty’ weapons, which the Orks like best.
Generally, Orks only bother with the weapons listed above, but Death Skull warbands can loot any abandoned weapons...

CHAOS AT KADAVAH
“Take no prisoners! Spare no lives!” The cry went up from the army of lost souls. Lesser daemons shimmered into being at the call of their masters. Great rune-encrusted cannons took up position on the crest of the hill. The ornate daemon-headed snouts of their muzzles swivelled to bear on the enemy positions as their crews chanted the loading stanzas of the Antilleryman’s Lament. Beastmen and monstrous Trolls formed up in ranks, confident that the power of their dark gods would protect them from incoming fire. The human cultists chattered excitedly among themselves. The...

SPACE MARINE
During the journey, the Chaplain had already inducted the Necromundan boys into proper worship, with a strong emphasis on adoration of Rogal Dorn, whose own gene-seed – bred on from generation to generation of Imperial Fists within their implanted progenoid glands – would kindle the neophyte cadets into Marines, true Marines of the Chapter. A Chapter of the First Founding. The Chapter which had loyally defended the Imperial Palace on Earth against the berserk, corrupted fury of the Horus Rebellion. The Chaplain had displayed a holorama of the Column of Glory, that tower...
