Synopsis + source
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 [[daemon]]s 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]] [[Ordo Sinister|Borealis Thoon]].
==Synopsis==
During the War in the Webway, a major [[daemon|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 [[psyker]]s commanded by the [[blank|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.{{Fn|1}}
