The factory world of Metalica is the glowing forge of war material production in the Charadon sector.
Under the orders of Abdaddon the Destroyer, Typhus leads a massive invasion of the Heartland of Charadon to lay siege to Metalica and poison it with Nurgle's plagues. Fighting under his vile banner are not only the forces of the Death Guard, but also warbands of the Black Legion, Word Bearers, Alpha Legion, and countless others. Marching alongside them are the Chaos Knights, endless waves of mutants, cultists, demons and even the massive monstrosities of the Legio Morbidus.
But this horde is opposed by an imperial alliance made up of the armies of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Adeptus Astartes, the Astra Militarum and many others. These powerful forces struggle for control of the Lirac and Obolis subsectors, unleashing their deadliest weapons in a war that threatens to destroy the very worlds they fight for.
