Deep beneath a mining planet, an ancient enemy slumbers, waiting for the time to awaken and reclaim what is theirs. When the necrons rise, the world descends into a cauldron of war and the remorseless foes decimate the human defenders. Salvation comes in an unlikely form - the Death Korps of Kreig, a force designed for the most brutal of conflicts and as unfeeling as the Necrons themselves. When the two powers go to war, casualties are high and the magnitude of the destruction is unimaginable. Can the most shadowy of Imperial Guard regiments triumph, and what will the price of victory be?
