Battle Brothers Miniature Wargaming Presents:
Crusade for the Nachmund Gauntlet
A Warhammer 40,000 Escalation League
Introduction: The Nachmund Gauntlet is currently one of the few safe passages between the Imperium Nihlus and Terra. If this passage were to fall the Imperium truly would be cut in two from the Cicatrix Maledictum.
Brave Armies of the Imperium stand ready to guard the gauntlet from all external assault. Can the Imperium hold the gauntlet or will another faction supplant them as masters of the Nachmund Gauntlet.
Tyranids, Orks, T’au, Eldar, Necrons, and the Forces of Chaos all will assault the gauntlet in a mad drive for its resources and strategic importance. Who will rise to the challenge?
