Imperial Armour III’Imperial Armour Volume Three – The Taros Campaign’
In our last newsletter we gave you a few pieces of information about ‘Imperial Armour Volume Three – The Taros Campaign’ and I said I hoped to be able to show you more and give you the release date in the next issue. Here it is folks! ‘Imperial Armour Volume Three – The Taros Campaign’ is available to pre-order right now, both online and over the phone. This huge 320 page hardback, our biggest book to date, is released from Monday August 15th and orders will be sent out that week. As an added bonus, the first 250 copies pre-ordered will be signed by the authors, Warwick Kinrade and Tony Cottrell. So let’s tell you a bit more about the book shall we? After Abaddon’s Black Crusade has ravaged Cadia forge world Stygies VIII is required to increase production. After checking Imperial archives to find mining planets with large reserves the planet of Taros is listed. Auditor-Prime Dree is despatched to Taros to investigate the quantity and quality of resources available and to increase production, but after several meetings with planetary officials he finds many ore deposits had been mined out. Dree gathers all the information he has gathered and deduces that Taros has been over-producing for years and that all the additional ore had been directed to the capital city whereupon it disappeared. Whilst on a routine anti-pirate sweep near the Damocles Gulf, an Imperial Navy patrol find a Tau Way Station and several Tau transport vessels. The Navy patrol intercepts the transports and attacks the Way Station. The transports are not carrying any cargo but investigation shows their last port of call was Taros. When this information is added to Auditor-Prime Dree’s report it is obvious that the Planetary Governor of Taros has consorted with aliens and is guilty of heresy. A strike force is hastily raised and the initial assault to remove the Planetary Governor and re-establish strict control over this vital system is lead by elements of the Avenging Sons Space Marine Chapter. After a successful Drop Pod assault they discover that the Governor has already been ‘removed’ by the Tau who are already occupying the planet in force… The bloody battles of the Taros Campaign follow swiftly. Want to see a bit more of the book? The link below will take you to a series of web pages where you will be able to see 9 page spreads from various sections of the book. Enjoy.
