When the world of Armageddon is attacked by orks, the Black
Templars Space Marine Chapter are amongst those sent to
liberate it. Chaplain Grimaldus and a band of Black Templars
are charged with the defence of Hive Helsreach from the
xenos invaders in one of many battlezones. But as the ork
numbers grow and the Space Marines dwindle, Grimaldus
faces a desperate last stand in an Imperial temple. Determined
to sell their lives dearly, will the Black Templars hold on long
enough to be reinforced, or will their sacrifice ultimately be in
vain?
