i ntroDUCtion

All across the Imperium, massive campaigns are fought to control vital planets or annihilate hated enemies. These vast

conflicts are so momentous that they shape history itself, as armies clash for years or even decades to secure victory.

ApOcAlypSE WAR ZONES

Each Apocalypse War Zone is a self-contained supplement

to the Apocalypse rules, based on a famous campaign from

the history of the Warhammer 40,000 galaxy. Each War

Zone starts off with a detailed history that describes the

course of the campaign, the famous battles that were part

of it, and the combatants that waged the war.

Some of those campaigns have become synonymous with

war on a scale unimaginable; planets whose names have

become a litany of disaster – Armageddon, Medusa V,

Damnos, Skalathrax, Cadia, Terra itself – the list stretches

into the annals of the Imperium for ten thousand years

and more. Such campaigns turn the planets and planetary

systems were they are fought into ravaged War Zones, where

the only thing the battle-hardened inhabitants know is

death and destruction.

The background is followed by special rules, Strategic

Assets, missions and Apocalypse Formations, all of which

are based on the history and background of the War

Zone. You can use all of these things when you fight a

battle set in the War Zone, and with a little bit of common

sense they can also be used for Apocalypse battles set in

similar theatres of war. It’s worth noting that the War Zone

Apocalypse Formations can be used in any Apocalypse

battle that you fight, even those set elsewhere.

This book describes the Damnos War Zone. It features

not only the original Damnos Incident, in which the 2nd

Company of Ultramarines held back the arising forces of

the Necrons so the few survivors of its Imperial past could

evacuate, but also the titanic struggle for control of the

planet twenty-five years later, when five entire companies

of Ultramarines, under the command of Marneus Calgar

himself, returned to Damnos. There, they would engage

the combined might of the Sautekh and Nihilakh dynasties,

and the terrifying war machines the Necrons brought to

bear. The Ultramarines’ arrival in force and their vindictive

campaign would proclaim the Imperium’s total dominance

– provided they were able to overcome the many secrets

lurking beneath the snow-bound planet’s crust.

Last but not least, each Apocalypse War Zone includes

a gatefold that unfolds to show a ‘battle report’ of an

Apocalypse game set in that War Zone. We hope that this

will serve as an example of what can be achieved with

time and effort, and as an inspiration for the games of

Apocalypse you take part in yourself.
