The Silent King and his Necron legions have broadened the Nephilim Anomaly, erecting ominous noctilith pylons on numerous worlds. Entire systems have disappeared under this anti-psychic cover, but the Necrons’ attempts to disconnect realspace from the warp have met resistance. A new Imperial armada, led by the resourceful Archmagos Cawl, has penetrated deep into the Nephilim Anomaly. Their objective, however, remains unclear: to dismantle the formidable noctilith technology of their adversaries, or to extract and utilize it?
