The Doom of Magma City.[2]

The Doom of Magma City was a battle fought between the Mechanicum, Dark Mechanicum, and their supporting Titan Legions on the world of Mars.[1]

Background

Magma City was one of the last Loyalist strongholds on Mars, a bastion of high technology defended by the survivors of the Death of Innocence. High-Adept Koriel Zeth, sovereign of Magma City, fought a desperate defence against overwhelming odds, battling Traitor titans and the warped creations of the Dark Mechanicum.[1]

Rather than surrender, Zeth chose to trigger a cataclysm which flooded the city in lava, destroying Loyalist and Traitor alike.[1]

Diorama

There is also a diorama of the same name exhibited at Warhammer World.[1]

From the first concept the Warhammer World Studio team wanted to sit this diorama on a lower display base, giving a more top down view of the battle. Look to either side of the road for the wreckage of the workers' habs, and right of the road, by the Warlord titan, where one of their underground transport hubs is being defended by the Mechanicum.[1]
