VIRAL ONSLAUGHT

Author: Farseer Tyross

Type: Story

"When the virus was unleashed, thousands of our citizens were turned to walking corpses within minutes. We knew that when the Nurgle drop pods started hitting the planet's surface that our planet was doomed! Within hours, the Nurgle followers were surrounded by a shifting mass of green skinned walking dead. Our defense forces were helpless to their onslaught. Within days our capital fell to these traitors, weeks flew past as the Guard stationed there fought long and hard day and night to fend off their attacks. But even the most stubbornly contested posts were overrun eventually. Our continual communications for help heralded yet fouler things. In response, the Demon Angels Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes answered the call, and sent a full four companies in a hope to stem the Traitors. However, it was not apparent until they made planetfall that them too had been infected by the virus. Even with their god-like strength, the Demon Angels were cast down into damnation as they transformed into yet more plague marines. All but three Companies of Marines commited suicide as the oinslaught of the changes begun. I do not know the fate of those that were effected by the virus. Even I fear for as I send this, my body has begun the transformation."
