In the grim darkness of the distant future, there is only war.

On the distant planets of the Imperium of Mankind, in a galaxy torn by warp storms and unending conflict, the armies of Humanity fight for survival. With the Imperium already on the brink of annihilation, the hive fleets of the Tyranids emerge from the cold void between the stars. The Space Marines are the last line of defense standing between this ravenous alien threat and the shattered worlds of the Emperor's domain.
