The Blood Ravens find an altar dedicated to Chaos, confirming Gabriel's suspicions, and resolve to destroy the traitors, unknowing that Isador is already under the influence of Sindri Myr, the Chaos Sorcerer of the Alpha Legion.Īfter a pitched battle with the forces of the Alpha Legion (including traitorous Imperial Guard regiments who have been corrupted by Chaos), Gabriel and Isador confront Toth in the ruins of an Imperial Temple. On further investigation, it is revealed that the Eldar are also operating on the planet. Toth then implies that Gabriel's actions on Cyrene have clouded his judgement, making him 'see Chaos where it doesn't exist'. Toth orders a complete evacuation of the planet, but Gabriel refuses, stating his desire to investigate the possible threat of Chaos. Soon after this, they are joined by an Inquisitor, Mordecai Toth, who orders them to leave the planet, warning that a Warp Storm- a great space-based storm that would make all travel impossible -is approaching the planet and will consume the planet in 3 days time. After the extermination of the Orks, scouts reveal to Gabriel that Chaos forces are operating on the planet.
However, Gabriel tells him not to mention it again, stating that his homeworld was his responsibility. Isador, sensing that the Captain's mind is troubled, realises why, and tells him that there was nothing he could have done to save his home planet of Cyrene. Several clans are featured in the campaign, as is the hulking Ork Warboss, Orkamungus. The tech tree for Orks differs from the other races in that it depends on the amount of Orks currently in the army and the number of erected WAAAGH!! banners. In large enough numbers, they gain morale immunity. While generally lacking in sophisticated technology, they are physically powerful, using brute force and crude weapons that well complement their tendency to attack in massive hordes.
