Get ready for the latest chapter in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, as the new Hammer and Bolter animation Return to Cadia lands on Warhammer TV next week.
This new episode explores the aftermath of one of the most significant events in the history of the Imperium—the fall of Cadia, the iconic fortress world that stood as a symbol of defiance against Chaos.
The Fall of Cadia: A Devastating Blow to the Imperium
The loss of Cadia was nothing short of catastrophic for the Imperium. Not only did it break the morale of countless Imperial forces, but it also had dire military consequences. With Cadia’s fall, the forces of Chaos were unleashed, able to surge across the galaxy and bring their wrath upon the Imperium’s worlds. But even worse, the destruction of Cadia’s pylons was one of the critical events that led to the creation of the Cicatrix Maledictum, a Great Rift that split the galaxy in two.
This tear in the fabric of reality plunged vast swathes of the Imperium into darkness, leaving countless worlds vulnerable to Chaos and xenos threats. Cadia, once a bastion of hope and strength, was now a broken ruin, its landscape warped and haunted by the remnants of Chaos—mutants, traitors, and daemons.
The Pilgrimage: A Journey to the Remains of Cadia
Despite the devastation, war is never done with Cadia. While the planet itself remains beyond the Imperium’s grasp, there are still small footholds in the systems surrounding the former fortress world. These territories may not hold the strategic value Cadia once had, but they offer the Imperium a chance at morale-boosting victories during a time of crushing defeat.
In the new episode, Return to Cadia, the story centers on a pilgrimage by the Cadian XXV Regiment to a shrine built inside an asteroid. This asteroid holds ruins from one of Cadia’s great fortress Kasrs, and it serves as a memorial to the brave soldiers who died defending Cadia. As the Cadian soldiers make their way to this sacred site, they reflect on the sacrifices made and the enduring spirit of those who fought on Cadia’s behalf.
