The battle has been hard fought, but it was over quicker than we expected as a new tyranid menace makes itself known to the Mardannon sector!
The sounds of death and metal have plunged the world of Tangrus III's surface into the sort of war it has not known in over a decade, since the orks themselves invaded the planet and took it as their own. Now known as Nokk, the world has been ravaged and taken for everything it's worth. Even as the orks fought among themselves over the spoils of the defeated Imperials, other invaders nestled into the remote and wild places near the edge of the Imperial development.
The dread tyranids arrived on the beleaguered world sometime during the ork invasion, presumably brought by the orks own ramshackle hulks that crashed into the surface. Only now, years later, does the threat become apparent. For years, the orks fought amongst themselves and even hunted tyranid beasts thinking they were an indigenous meat-beast.
They were wrong.
The ork tribes on Nokk have long had a special agreement with the Alpha Legion, but the inhabitants of the world were unprepared for the alien onslaught that was about to occur - largely from their own world. As tyranids swelled up from the hinterlands, finally ready to overcome the flesh-things and call to the Hive Mind - another hidden alien threat appeared. The Necrons rose up from the ground and made war upon the living.
War was joined by all parties. Now, the shadow of the tyranids is upon all the factions of Nokk, as they broke the terrible might the Black Skull Goffs wielded upon the world by consuming much of their northern territory, all the way to Black Skull City. They appeared from all directions, swarming out of the hinterlands - casting much speculation as to the true size of the swarm.
Thus far, the Alpha Legion hasn't been able to muster much of their forces, and tyranids are turning back their small bands quite easily. Even with unexpected help from Eldar forces on the surface, it might not be enough to stop the killer swarm - a splinter of Hive Fleet Mahnunnah!
This is the final map of Nokk transmitted from Alpha Legion ships in high orbit.
