Cover Description
The Imperial Palace is breached! While the Emperor tries to hold mystic wards in place, a desperate battle takes place in the twisting, arcane dimension known as the webway...
The webway – a bizarre alien landscape created by the eldar in ages long past; a network of otherworldly tunnels that burrow through time and space. When the wards protecting the webway are accidentally breached by the primarch Magnus, hordes of daemons are able to exploit this weakness to attack the heart of Terra directly. While the Emperor himself tries to hold the wards in place, a desperate battle takes place in the webway itself – a battle that requires very special combatants – among them the Psi-Titan Borealis Thoon.
Synopsis
During the War in the Webway, a major daemonic incursion threatens the Webway Project beneath the Imperial Palace. To contain the breach, the Imperium deploys the Psi-Titan Borealis Thoon of the Ordo Sinister, a highly secretive and cataclysmic Titan powered by psykers commanded by the pariah princeps Hydragyrum.
Operating alone in the Lychway, a large spiral-like complex, Borealis Thoon confronts successive waves of warp entities. Using its unique null-based and psychic weaponry, the Psi-Titan annihilates vast numbers of daemons and forces the incursion into a controlled killing ground. As the battle intensifies, Hydragyrum burns out and replaces the bound psykers powering the Titan to maintain its combat effectiveness, like batteries inside a tool. At the final stages of the skirmish, a powerful unknown greater daemon manifests itself, inflicting severe damage on the Imperial forces before being destroyed by a final null discharge from the Titan that collapses the daemonic assault.[1]
