The Gathering Storm: The Story So Far

Collecting together two volumes of The Gathering Storm – Fall of Cadia and Fracture of Biel-Tan – this bundle is an excellent way to catch up on the galaxy-shaking events threatening to change the Warhammer 40,000 universe forever.

Fall of Cadia

Fall of Cadia is the first book in the Gathering Storm series. A 136-page hardback/softback, it introduces the Triumvirate of the Imperium – Celestine, the Living Saint, Tech-priest of Mars Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl, and Inquisitor Katarinya Greyfax of the Ordo Hereticus – and chronicles the bitter battle to protect Cadia from the grasp of Abaddon the Despoiler.

The Rules

Fall of Cadia contains a wealth of new rules content for Warhammer 40,000:

- full rules for fielding Saint Celestine, Belisarius Cawl and Inquisitor Greyfax with any army of the Imperium:

- Saint Celestine confers Act of Faith on nearby units

- Belisarius Cawl confers the Canticles of the Omnissiah on nearby units

- Inquisitor Greyfax brings 6 new Inquisition Tactical Objectives

- the Triumvirate of the Imperium – a formation bringing these three characters together;

- 6 new Ecclesiarchy Relics and 6 Arcana Mechanicum, usable by Adepta Sororitas and Cult Mechanicus forces;

- the Grand Convocation and Imperial Crusade detachments – combine Cult Mechanicus, Skitarii and Mechanicus Knights in one army, and Black Templars and Adepta Sororitas in another;

- Battlezone: Empyric Storms – rules for raging Warp Storm effects, some of which can be quite drastic: potentially removing invulnerable saves, or halving the effective range of psychic powers…

- 5 new Echoes of War missions.

Fracture of Biel-Tan

Fracture of Biel-Tan is the second book in the Gathering Storm series. A 136-page hardback/softback, it introduces the Triumvirate of Ynnead – The Visarch, Sword of Ynnead, Yvraine, Emissary of Ynnead and The Yncarne, Avatar of Ynnead – and chronicles the desperate battle to determine the future of the Eldar, and the uneasy alliance that will potentially dictate the fate of the galaxy.

The Rules
