Warhammer 40,000: World Ablaze – A Warhammer 40,000 Anthology (Hardcover)

The galaxy burns brightest where the Orks tread. World Ablaze is a brand-new Black Library hardcover anthology collecting eleven all-new short stories centred on the apocalyptic conflict of Armageddon — the smog-choked hive world that has endured more relentless slaughter than perhaps any other planet in the Imperium. A stunning addition to any Warhammer 40,000 library and the perfect companion to the Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick release wave.

In a galaxy riven by endless conflict, vast hordes of Orks are drawn to Armageddon's wastelands and deadly jungles like moths to a flame, in search of the battle to end all battles. They are challenged by the indomitable soldiers of the Steel Legion and the Ork Hunters, who die in droves to deny their enemies ground. But mere humans are not sufficient to halt the green tide — the Space Marines of the Ultramarines, Black Templars, Salamanders, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, and Crimson Fists join the fight, purging the ferocious xenos with bolter and blade.
