Full wording ▾

An armoured assault by the crusaders of the Emperor is terrifying to behold. The doomed enemy are pummelled by heavy weapons fire and deafened by the roar of engine spirits in the moments before the strike falls, their comrades crushed by heavy treads. When the assault ramps slam down and the Black Templars storm forth, what little cohesion their foes retain melts away before the crusaders’ holy wrath.
