The Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon boxed set includes the in-depth Operation Imperator lore book – find out what’s inside.
For the first time, all of the latest lore developments are contained in a dedicated book separate from the game rules – Operation Imperator. This 114-page guide to the current action beneath Armageddon’s ash-choked skies follows on from Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick, and sets up the ongoing conflict across the planet as reinforcements thunder down from the heavens.
While much of the rest of the box will be available separately at a later date, Operation Imperator will only be available in Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon. This is for the fans who want to join the first wave and jump into the lore of this war-torn world.
The book features details about some of the main Space Marines Chapters on Armageddon – including the Blood Angels, Salamanders, Crimson Fists, Ultramarines, Black Templars, and White Scars – and the Ork clans they’re fighting – the Goffs, Evil Sunz, Deathskulls, Bad Moons, Snakebites, and Blood Axes. There’s more on the heroes involved, including Commissar Yarrick, Ghazghkull Thraka, and Marneus Calgar – Operation Imperator was the Chapter Master’s idea!
Operation Imperator has sections that focus on each of the key war zones on Armageddon, and lists the forces involved. Can the combined might of the Salamanders, Storm Lords, Subjugators, and Black Templars defeat Waaagh! Skumloota and Waaagh! Drekknut in the battle for Hive Infernus? Find out in the book. Its pages are also packed with maps so you can plan out your next moves.
This is just one example of the maps of the pivotal hives – there are loads more like this. There is some glorious new artwork, too, which takes you right into the heart of the action. Check out this explosive image of the Orks attacking Hive Acheron.
The battles are brought to life with some jaw-dropping miniatures photography. Witness the combined forces of the Astra Militarum, Adepta Sororitas, and Blood Angels desperately fight to hold back the seemingly endless Ork tide at Hive Death Mire, and more.
This is a proper old-school Warhammer 40,000 campaign lore book, featuring more than 100 pages of lore on one of the most iconic war zones in the galaxy. If you want the most comprehensive exploration of Armageddon we’ve seen so far, get your hands on Operation Imperator.
With all the new art, miniatures photography, and lore, you’ll be inspired to join Operation Imperator (or a Waaagh!) and start fighting out the crucial battles for Armageddon on the tabletop. Take a look at everything else in the Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon boxed set to see what you’ll be fighting with.
