The latest expansion for Warhammer 40,000 Crusade, Nachmund Gauntlet, brings players into the heat of battle as the forces of Chaos, led by Haarken Worldclaimer, wage an assault on the vital planet of Sangua Terra.
This new narrative campaign thrusts the Imperium’s defenders into a desperate struggle to protect the last safe route through the Great Rift and prevent Chaos from gaining a foothold at the heart of the galaxy.
Background and Story: The Nachmund Gauntlet provides a detailed narrative of Worldclaimer’s invasion, with over 40 pages of background lore, stunning artwork, and tactical diagrams showcasing the heroic defense of the Sangua Terran War. With the Sanctus Wall—a mighty bastion spanning four systems—standing as the last line of defense, the Imperium’s forces, including Canoness Superior Junith Eruita and Living Saint Celestine, must hold their ground against the oncoming Chaos tide. The battle for this stronghold is crucial for the Imperium’s survival, as the fall of Sangua Terra could lead to catastrophic consequences for the galaxy.
New Campaign Rules and Mechanics: In this supplement, players are split into three factions vying for control of critical sites on Sangua Terra, from Praefectus Bastion to Accrandor Spaceport. Victory points are earned by securing key locations, with the faction controlling the most at the end of the campaign claiming dominance over the region. The rules introduce Epic Hero units with Mighty Champions abilities, granting them immense power. Tactical Reserves and Surgical Deep Strikes add layers of strategy, allowing players to decide when reinforcements will arrive and perform high-risk tactical maneuvers to disrupt the enemy’s lines.
Surgical Deep Strikes: Players can perform deep strikes with daring units, but the danger is high. The more enemies present near the drop zone, the greater the risk of mortal wounds or battle-shock tests, forcing players to think strategically before executing these dangerous maneuvers.
Pre-order Details: The Nachmund Gauntlet expansion will be available for pre-order this Saturday, so prepare for a campaign that brings exciting new gameplay dynamics to Warhammer 40,000 Crusade, including unique missions, Battle Traits, and Crusade Relics.
This update is a must for anyone looking to expand their Crusade experience with tactical depth, narrative-driven missions, and the epic struggle for the survival of the Imperium.
