Battle for Armageddon, The

The war for Armageddon never ends. It is a planet ripped apart by battle and conflict, and teeters on the cusp of defeat. Her doughty defenders have stemmed the tide of invaders, but the cost has been high indeed. The brilliant Ork tactician, Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, has made it his mission to bring this once great planet to its knees. If he does this he knows he could launch a strike on Terra! He came close once before, he could still succeed in his monstrous plan. Armageddon is more than a strategic point on the map, it more than just a factory planet; Armageddon is a pure representation of the constant warfare that inflicts the Imperium. It has become a totem of supremacy for each side, and they will do anything to retain it. This lavish, full-color book details the history of Armageddon's three wars, told mostly from the points of view of those who were there, fighting and directing the battles. It includes dozens of maps, articles, pictures, pamphlets, posters and diagrams, to make up a comprehensive source book of information on this most fascinating and devastating conflict.
