The Ork Empire on the Rise
A new era of war and conquest has dawned on the galaxy, as the great Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka launches a campaign of unprecedented scale. The largest Ork Waaagh! in eight thousand years, it threatens to engulf the stars in a tide of bloodlust and destruction.
The Visionary Warlord
Ghazghkull’s visions of a united Ork empire have driven him to abandon his invasion of Armageddon and seek out a new destiny. With a ragtag flotilla of warships, he sets out into the unknown, guided by the deranged Ork mystics known as Warpheads. Their interpretations of his visions lead him to a shocking revelation: the whole galaxy must echo with the roar of the Ork.
The Pursuit Begins
As Ghazghkull departs Armageddon, he is pursued by the heroes of the Imperium, including Commissar Yarrick and High Marshal Helbrecht of the Black Templars. Determined to prevent another catastrophic escape, they lead every available warship in a desperate chase across the galaxy.
Cornered and Desperate
Trapped in the Haunted Gulf, Ghazghkull’s fleet turns at bay, ready for a last stand against their pursuers. The void erupts in a blaze of lance beams and broadsides, but the Ork ships are vastly outnumbered. Just as all seems lost, Kill Wrecka, Ghazghkull’s command ship, disappears in a blaze of green energy, leaving behind a spatial anomaly that will change the course of history.
The Great Rift
As the anomaly expands into a Warp Storm, it joins with others to form the Great Rift, a catastrophic tear in the fabric of space-time. Ghazghkull, meanwhile, finds himself revitalized and rededicated to his vision of a united Ork empire.
The Octarian War
Emerging from the Warp in the midst of the Octarian Empire, Ghazghkull sets his sights on the Ork ruler of Octarius, Zog Steeltoof. With his forces arrayed against the Tyranids, Ghazghkull sees an opportunity for a good fight and leads the charge against the alien horde.
Psychic Awakening
As the Great Waaagh! gains momentum, Ghazghkull clashes with the Space Wolves during the Psychic Awakening, dueling Ragnar Blackmane in the Battle of Krongar. Though wounded, Ghazghkull endures, thanks to rapid surgery by Grotsnik, and emerges stronger than ever.
Consequences of the Great Waaagh!
The effects of the Great Waaagh! are felt across the galaxy, as a wave of Madboyz psychic energy ripples through the Immaterium, drawing Orks to Ghazghkull’s banner. Conflicting reports of Ghazghkull’s location cause chaos within the Imperium, as the Orks use Warp Storms to navigate the galaxy and wreak havoc on a massive scale.
