Cover In the Strife-Torn Scarus Sector, a World Falls into Darkness…
When the sector authorities realise that world of Vrax had fallen silent, no one could imagine the terrible war that would eventually follow. Vrax, a fortified Munitorium supply depot and storehouse for millions of tons of arms laid by against the eternal threat from the Eye of Terror, has succumbed to the megalomaniacal ambitions of one man; the treacherous and heretic Cardinal Xaphan. Its population isolated and led astray by Xaphan’s lies, its people are slowly corrupted and duped into the service of Chaos. In the gruelling war that follows the task of re-taking the world for the Imperium is given to the grim and relentless soldiers of the Death Korps of Krieg, but as the bloody siege develops other secretive and sinister forces gather, and soon the mysterious and dreaded Dark Angels appear with an agenda of their own…
The Siege of Vraks: Part 1 comprises an exhaustive and detailed narrative of the opening stages of the brutal war on Vraks, accompanied by many full-colour and black-and-white illustrations and maps, all finished to high standard you’ve come to expect from us. You`ll find included detailed background features for the forces that contest the rebel world; the Death Korps of Krieg, the Vraxian Renegade Militia and the Dark Angels intervention force including unit organisation charts, vehicle schematics and full colour layouts for each (not to mention some fantastic colour plates by the iconic artist Karl Kopinski). To help you fight your own war for Vrax the book includes two complete army lists; The Death Korps of Krieg Siege Regiment list and the Renegades & Heretics army list, along with all the new rules you’ll need (including those for the Marcharius Heavy Tank, Thudd Gun, Heavy Mortar, Gorgon Assault Carrier, Death Riders, Leman Russ Annihilator, Centaur Carrier, Ogyrn Berserkers and more.) The book also contains seven historical re-fight scenarios and appendices featuring up-to-date rules for using Forge World super-heavy vehicles and flyers in your battles.
Also with the book we`ve included a full-colour double-sided poster map A0 in size (that`s 33.1 inches [841mm] by 46.8 inches [1189mm] or 1m2!) One side is a detailed map of the Vrax siege battle zone illustrated by our own Paul Rudge, while the other features pages from the book detailing the Death Korps Siege Regiment`s organisation, uniforms and wargear. We`ve also made this poster available separately (supplied unfolded in special protective tube packaging), for those of you who`d like an extra one (or two) for your wall.

All-in-all Volume Five I think is our most exciting and jam-packed publication to date, and remember that the epic story of the struggle for Vrax will continue in Imperial Armour Volume Six as the bitter conflict escalates and the forces of Chaos show their true hand…
