Beneath a sickly, bone-white sky, an infinite plain of dust and strange metallic wreckage stretches to a blurred horizon. The air thrums with dissonance—the binary cant of Adeptus Mechanicus priests, the roaring challenges of Orks, the oppressive silence of ranked Necron warriors. Space Marines in the bright yellow of the Imperial Fists and the deep green of the Salamanders stand like statues of wrath, scanning the throng. Elegant Eldar, predatory Dark Eldar, shimmering daemons, a menagerie of minor xenos, and towering, ancient gods of the Old Ones—all are present, all are disoriented. You emerge into this chaos. As one, their attention pivots. The weight of their collective suspicion and unanswered questions presses down on you like a physical force.
