The Warp is always loudest when Chaos is near, and right now, the Warp was screaming. The sudden barrage of sound and energy had knocked even the Farseer to his knees, for not even she had sensed their coming. As the skies darkened, reality tore itself open and there, through crackling portals of blood red light came the servants of the Dark Gods to ravage what was left of this once beautiful fringe world.

The Farseer righted herself, aided by her Warlock Conclave. She studied the legion of corrupt Mon’ Keigh as they burst into the realm, not as individuals clad in red armour, but almost like some massive beast writhing on its belly. It had many arms, this creature, and each arm was tipped with razor-sharp claws and pincers, even teeth. It crawled and clawed its way across the landscape, churning the earth beneath it as it moved and leaving it scorched and burned.

The Farseer and her Alaitoc force’s work was almost complete. The Red Corsairs would not reach them before they were done and had departed this place, but she knew, to leave the tide to burn through the planet unchecked was to invite doom for the entire sector. She could not stand aside and let this place burn. She would have to stand before the beast and bring it to its knees, or die trying.

With a quick series of commands, she rallied her Windriders and assembled the force’s strongest warriors. They would form the vanguard. They would go in first, whilst the rest of the force prepared a deadly ambush. The servants of Chaos were strong and well armored, but they were also slow and ill prepared to deal with what was about to hit them.

Not even the Farseer could predict, however, just how cunning and brutal the Red Corsairs could be.
