Urban Conquest: The Hivesprawls of Vigilus

Urban Conquest: The Hivesprawls of Vigilus

Warhammer 40,000: Urban Conquest is available to pre-order this weekend – a campaign box designed to help you fight exciting interconnected battles across war-torn urban environments. With the war on Vigilus dominating recent events in the 41st Millennium, we thought we’d take a look at the lore regarding the many hivesprawls and metropolitan districts that can be found across the embattled sentinel world.

Serving as the lair of the Patriarch known as Grandsire Wurm, Dirkden Hivesprawl has unwittingly been the spiritual home of the Pauper Princes Genestealer Cult on Vigilus for some time, and it swiftly fell under their sway at the outset of the fighting. Dirkden has also been relentlessly assailed by the Orks of the Speedwaaagh!, but it was ultimately the prevalence of cultists within its walls, combined with their control of the hivesprawl’s Bastion force fields, that forced the Vigilite forces to grudgingly abandon the hivesprawl’s defence. However, it surely won’t be long before the Imperium attempts to reclaim that which was theirs.

After a swift, well-organised strike by the Pauper Princes, Oteck Hivesprawl soon became another of their strongholds, though it would not remain so for long. A strike force of Space Wolves, led by Haldor Icepelt, combined their acute senses with Fenrisian fieldcraft to track the cultists underground and ultimately drove them from the Greigan Hollow. Though the insidious plot of the Pauper Princes to corrupt the hivesprawl’s drinking water with their genetic taint was thwarted, vicious street fighting throughout Oteck continues apace.

As the seat of the Planetary Governor and Aquilarian Council, Hyperia Hivesprawl enjoyed the greatest concentration of Imperial military strength in the early stages of the war. Entire regiments of the Vigilant Guard and resident orders of the Adepta Sororitas secured positions around the Governor’s Palace at Saint’s Haven. This gathering of might did little to deter the Saim-Hann warhost of Spiritseer Qelanaris, however, who sought to assail the Aquilarian Palace directly in order to resolve a personal vendetta. Only the timely intervention of Lieutenant Eothrus of the Ultramarines 2nd Company prevented the wholesale massacre of the Vigilite leadership.

As the heart of the Adeptus Mechanicus presence on Vigilus, Megaborealis saw fierce fighting between the invading Ork Speedwaaagh! and the servants of the Machine God. The sudden ferocity of the initial greenskin attack, combined with natural cover provided by an ill-fated storm of dust and pollution, robbed the Skitarii forces of their defensive advantage. The Orks tore deep into the hivesprawl before their impetus was finally stymied. To make matters worse, Genestealer Cultists infiltrated a Titan hanger and detonated a vortex missile, crippling or destroying all of the God-Machines that were being mustered for the hivesprawl’s defence!

Astra Militarum and reinforcements continue to pour into this crucial region, alongside Tempestus Scion drop teams aboard entire wings of Valkyries and Vendetta Gunships, but the hivesprawl is becoming increasingly overrun each day.

Dontoria has been beset by enemies from without and sickness from within. Through plague spread by an infiltrating detachment of Death Guard, and a Gellerpox Infection believed to have originated from the Litmus Dock, the hivesprawl’s population has been cruelly decimated in spite of the extensive quarantine measures hastily put in place. The hivesprawl is all but ready to fall…

Of all of Vigilus’ hivesprawls and false continents, that which has best weathered the storm is Mortwald. So formidable were the defences of the Deinos Trench Network that they held against repeated waves of Ork attacks despite the unexpected collapse of the Bastion force fields. Now reinforced by the Imperial Fists 5th Company, and a host drawn from a number of Knightly households, Mortwald stands as a beacon of resistance in a world at war.

If you’ve been enjoying taking part in the ongoing war for Vigilus, be sure to pre-order Warhammer 40,000: Urban Conquest this weekend and arrange your own campaign for one of the planet’s embattled hivesprawls. Will your force finally be able to break the defences of Mortwald when all others have failed? Can you fight your way through Dirkden and slay Grandsire Wurm in his own lair? These stories and more can be yours to tell!

Тезисно о "Расколе Бьел-Тана" со стрима Warhammer TV

- The book starts in Commoragh - a shard of Ynnead is there, Yvraine finds it. 
- If there is too much psychic activity there - Slaanesh comes for you. So they are scared. 
- Yvraine flees the city, gets saved by the Visarch - we don't know how he is.

- The Craftworlds are coming together. Eldar don't talk literally - the fracture is both the way what happens and what factions come out. 
- Craftworlds weren't always one ship. Bigger than anything the imperium has, bigger than the Rock. Made up of different ships that are all stuck together. 
- Biel-Tans infinity matrix has a fracture - there is a split. 
- It's the kickstart Ynnead needs to get born. All the Eldar souls who are locked up there birth the new god. All the "parts" of Biel-Tan split up. It's basically a fleet now, instead of a craftworld. 
- The Avatar is in the center of all the souls of eldar of Biel-Tan who died in the last 10k years. He is the proof that the prophecy of Ynnead is real. A beacon of hopes for all Eldar. They can now fight against Slaanesh. 
- The Avatar is the mirror of Slaanesh - they are siblings. His power comes from Eldar souls - hence he looks quite Slaaneshi. They are made of the same stuff.

- Lots of interplay between the different Eldar factions in the book. 
- When it's desperate, Eldar of all kind will fight against a common vow. Other times, they fight against each other, even Craftworlds vs Craftworlds.
- Now, the Eldar god of the dead is summoned - some see this as a hope for their race. 
- These make up a new faction - basically the Eldar who believe in Ynnead. They have now a red colour scheme (like the Visarch, he is their leader). These are the Ynnari. Lead by the prophetess and the Visarch. 
- Lots of wyches and Incubii.

- Some Eldar (of all kind) are very against this - especially the Haemoncolus Covens. They see this as "they steal our jobs". If there is a god of the dead - no slaves and stuff, so they are not happy. 
- Clashes between the Haemoncolus Covens and the Ynnari.

- Part II is not a sequel - it happens at the same time of 'Fall of Cadia'. 
- It ends at the same point as the first book.

- Rules to make the Ynnari. You can mix different Eldar races into one army now. They loose their army rules but gain instead a new special rule. 
- Basically - when your eldar units die, your own units become more powerful.

- Ynnari are a whole new faction of the Eldar. 
- Aeldari is the name for all Eldar. 
- If you already got an army, you can decide to play it as Ynnari, but not all units can be taken. Most of the stuff can be used though.

-Повествование начинается в Комморе, Ивраина находит там осколок Иннеад.
- Все на палеве - слаанеш лезет в гости.
-Ивраина бежит из Комморы, ее спасает Визарх.

-Сходка искусственых миров. Точно не говорится что там за раскол и какие фракции представлены.
-Я так понял они сходятся буквально - объеденяются в неведанную по размерам фигню, больше чем любое сооружение/корабль/планета империума.
-У Бельетана в круге бесконечности прорвало.
-Это рождается Иннеад. Все души заключенные там формируют сущность нового бога. Бельетан разваливается на много мелких корабликов, превращаясь во флот.
-Аватар это концентрация душ эльдар Бельэтана умерших за последние 10к лет. Пророчество об Иннеад начинает сбыватся. Новая наджеда для эльдар - они теперь готовы поборотся со Слаанеш.
-Аватар это отражение Слаанеш - они близнецы, сделанные из душ эльдар по одним и тем же принципам(зохаванье).

-Происходит много взаимодействий между разными фракциями Эльдар.
-Как приспичивает они все вместье бьются против общего врага. В другое время режут друг друга, даже крафтворлдовцы крафтворловцев.
-Лишь некоторые видят новую надежду в Боге Мертвых.
-Они и есть новая фракция - эльдары верующие в Иннеад - Иннари. У них красная цветовая схема, как у Визарха(Он и провидица их лидеры). 
-Там очень много вичек и Инкубов.

-Некоторые эльдары(всех фракций) категорически против такого поворота событий, особенно ковены гомункулов. Они чувствуют что новый бог лишает их работы и фана.
-Зарубы между ковенами и Иннари.

-Вторая часть не сиквел - время действия происходит во время Падения Кадии.
-Заканчивается примерно в то же время что и первая книга.

-В книге содержатся правила по набору новой фракции. Можно мешать эльдар разных фракций вместе, при этом они теряют армивайд правила но получают новые.
-Когда иннари умирают, другие их юниты становятся сильнее.

-Иннари это целая новая фракция эльдар
-Аэльдари это название всех эльдар вообще.
-Можно играть своей существующей армией как армией Иннари, но не все юниты могут быть взяты туда.
