Скачать или смотреть Second War For Armageddon: Ghazghkull's Invasion. Explained | Warhammer 40k

In this deep dive, we peer into the origins, legacy, and lasting mystery of the Second War for Armageddon, one of the Imperium’s most defining conflicts in the late forty-first millennium. This campaign became the benchmark for Imperial responses to xenos invasion, a brutal clash that tested the resolve of humanity against the vast tide of Ork aggression under the leadership of Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. Its significance lies not only in the immense scale of the war, but also in the political, military, and psychological consequences that would shape the Imperium for centuries to come.

The origins of the conflict began with the first great Ork assaults on Armageddon, a world already ravaged by Chaos incursion decades prior. By the time Ghazghkull led his Waaagh! to the planet, Armageddon had transformed into both a strategic stronghold and a symbolic fortress of Imperial will. The defenders, led by Commissar Yarrick and the Steel Legion of Armageddon, embodied the grim endurance of the Astra Militarum. The campaign highlighted the resilience of Imperial doctrine, the adaptability of human defenders, and the growing cult of personality around both Yarrick and Ghazghkull, whose rivalry would fuel further conflicts. Chapter 1 examines the culture of the Ork horde, the structure of the Steel Legion, and the Imperial commanders whose names would become etched into legend.

Administratum and Mechanicus records preserve the official accounts of the war. Countless battalions were deployed, Titan Legions marched, and Space Marines of multiple Chapters committed their forces to the defense of the planet. The bloodshed at Hades Hive, the naval blockade in Armageddon’s orbit, and the logistical weight of sustaining such a massive campaign are documented with precision. The Adeptus Mechanicus, though strained by the demands of war, ensured the Titans of the Collegia Titanica and the defenses of the Hive Cities remained operational. Records also detail the aftermath, including the mass resettlement and quarantining of survivors, measures that reshaped the Administratum’s approach to planetary defense and refugee control across the Segmentum. Chapter 2 focuses on these documents, showing how the Imperium catalogued and managed the war both during and after the fighting.

Inquisition archives reveal what official reports could not. The Ordo Xenos noted with alarm the scale of Ork coordination under Ghazghkull, raising questions about his strategic genius and the evolving threat of Waaagh! organization. Suppressed records describe Inquisitorial interventions in population control, purges of suspected heretics within the refugee masses, and disputes between the Ordo Xenos and Ordo Hereticus over how to manage post-war Armageddon. Even among Inquisitors, debates persisted over whether Ghazghkull was an anomaly or a sign of a new stage in Ork evolution. Chapter 3 explores these hidden insights, offering a perspective that official Administratum records deliberately concealed.
