Enraged, Librarian Orion and Chaplain Diomedes swears vengeance on the Inquisitor for (seemingly) killing the Chapter Master. The Inquisitor orders the bombardment of the Vault despite Angelos being in the immediate vicinity of it, in an attempt to destroy it and cut off any access to the Spear. He destroys Wazmakka's cannon that was brought there to break open the vault.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Angelos has tracked Gorgutz's Warband all the way to the Vault, one of the many passageways to Acheron's true surface. Macha's strike group barely escapes with the aid of sympathizers within Kyre's ranks as well as a surprise attack from a detachment of Gorgutz's Orks.

While Kyre is preoccupied fighting Gorgutz's forces, Macha, Jain Zar, and a handful of Striking Scorpions raid Kyre's main base where the Spirit Stone of Farseer Taldeer is kept. Ronahn leads Gorgutz straight to Kyre's outposts and Gorgutz kills the Wraithlord Valador, another lieutenant of Kyre. Gabriel Angelos and a squad of Terminators rescue Chaplain Diomedes from the Eldar and Orks attacking him in the wreckage of Helios.įarseer Macha and Ronahn manage to have an audience with Gorgutz (after killing quite a bit of his Orks) and convince him to fight Kyre in an effort to derail Kyre from getting to the true surface of Acheron where the Spear is kept. Helios crashes on Acheron's surface when it emerges from the Warp. Gorgutz seizes the opportunity to crash his Kill Kroozer spaceship into another Starfort and overwhelms the defending Blood Ravens before landing on Acheron. Gorgutz wants the "SUPER pointy stikk" all for himself.įarseer Macha and her forces prepare to assault the Blood Ravens on Cyprus Ultima and nearly kill both Librarian Orion and Gabriel Angelos when a meteor shower interrupts the battle, heralding the arrival of the planet Acheron. Gorgutz forms a new Warband with them and begins preparations to travel to Acheron, which he heard about after battling the Eldar in the Kaurava system. With Gitstompa defeated, Gorgutz quickly subjugates Gitstompa's other subordinates, which include the Ork Weirdboy psyker Zapnoggin and the Big Mek Wazmakka. The Inquisitor is enraged at the damage done and Gabriel orders Chaplain Diomedes (returning from Dawn of War II: Retribution) to stay with his detachment on Helios to defend it and oversee repairs.īack on Cyprus Ultima, Gitstompa's cannon is sabotaged by Gorgutz, and it explodes just as he is about to engage Macha's forces, who overrun him. One detachment of Eldar forces assault the Imperial Starfort Helios where Blood Ravens Librarian Jonah Orion is studying an Eldar artifact, but Gabriel Angelos and his Space Marines arrive in time to rescue the Librarian, although at the cost of critically damaging the Starfort. Farseer Macha, however, does not trust Kyre at all, and secretly begins to build an insurgency with the aid of Ronahn and the Howling Banshee Phoenix Lord Jain Zar. In a trance, she prophecized that the Spear of Khaine would call forth the Wayfarers and would be united by the Storm Prince, Convinced that he is the Storm Prince destined to unite the fractured and nomadic Eldar, the power-hungry Autarch keeps her prisoner as a way to swell his own ranks of his Swordwind army. While in his custody, Taldeer unwittingly told Kyre of the prophecy surrounding the Spear of Khaine. He seized the Spirit Stone of Farseer Taldeer ( Dark Crusade) from her twin brother, the Eldar Ranger Ronahn when he was trying to transport it to her Craftworld of Ulthwe.

Kyre is obsessed with the Spear of Khaine, said to be able to kill enemies with a single blow. Kyre is using Cyprus Ultima as a staging ground to travel to the planet Acheron when it emerges from the alternate dimension of the Warp. Gitstompa uses the looted parts to build an enormous cannon capable of defeating the Eldar.Īutarch Kyre, the leader of the Biel-Tan warhost on Cyprus Ultima, summons Farseer Macha to aid him against the Orks on Cyprus Ultima. The Blood Ravens under Chapter Master Gabriel Angelos run the blockade to help Lady Solaria, but not before Varlock Keep is looted by Gitstompa's lieutenant (at the time) Gorgutz. For reasons unknown, the Imperial Inquisitor Holt has ordered the Imperial Navy to blockade the planet and denies Lady Solaria's Imperial Knight House Varlock any reinforcements planetside. The campaign begins on the Imperial Knight world of Cyprus Ultima, which is under siege from a massive Ork horde led by Warboss Gitstompa. The Seer, The Trickster, And The Brute (Eldar)Ī "catastrophic weapon," known as the Spear of Khaine, is discovered on the lost planet Acheron, and three forces converge on the planet – the Blood Ravens Space Marines under legendary commander Gabriel Angelos, the Eldar led by Farseer Macha (returning from the first game), and an Ork horde led by Warboss Gorgutz (his fourth appearance, after Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, and Soulstorm).
