Captain Demetrian Titus, back as Captain of the Ultramarines’ 2nd Company, prepares to reclaim the 500 Worlds—a daunting challenge. It won’t be easy; old enemies, like the Necrons, lurk in the shadows. But Titus thrives in chaos, eager for battle.
He isn’t alone. His team includes loyal allies such as Veteran Sergeant Metaurus, Ancient Gadriel, and key figures like Lucia Vestha, Astropath Dainal Kornelius, and Gaius Silva. Together, they represent the strength and determination of the Ultramarines.
Major Threats on the Horizon
One of the most notable threats is Nekrosor Ammentar, a horror that even the Necrons fear. It has been engineered for maximum destruction, learning to hunt and obliterate organic beings effectively. This entity leads forces that are now advancing into Ultramar territory.
Alongside it, the C’tan Shard of the Nightbringer serves as a weapon for the Necron dynasties. This fragment, armed with a scythe, can devastate multiple foes with a single strike. The engagement rule adjustments for these models will be detailed in the upcoming expansion.
- Key Allies: Captain Titus, Metaurus, Gadriel
- Major Enemies: Nekrosor Ammentar, C’tan Shard
- Upcoming Releases: Narrative expansion, new rules
