Da Big Dakka

by Mike Brooks

Published 21 November 2024
Ufthak Blackhawk faces the Drukhari in the teeming flesh pits of their dark city of Commorragh as he finds himself challenged to gladiatorial combat against the masters of pain.

Out of options, Ufthak leads his Waaagh! through the mysterious webway, to a place where kunnin’, sneakin’, and thinkin’ are the name of the game. A place with little truck for muscle and brawn – Commorragh, the Dark City.

Here, where kabals and haemonculus covens pump psychic viscera into the warp, Ufthak is thrown into gladiatorial combat and soon finds himself up against an archon who will stop at nothing to prove she deserves to rule the Dark City – even if it means bringing Commorragh down around her.

But the Drukhari are about to discover that while orks may be simple, very little about them is ever straightforward.

The Drukhari city of Commorragh is without question one of the worst places in the universe – giving even the warp a run for its money – and those who thrive in its dark and treacherous streets are brought up on a diet of murder, intrigue, and more murder. This urban hellscape is what created Lelith Hesperax – the deadliest gladiator in the galaxy, and the slayer of countless souls on the grim blood sands of the Dark City’s arenas.

In the darkest corners of the webway lies the city of Commorragh. Home to the sadistic drukhari, millions are butchered upon its arenas’ sands to slake their terrible thirst for blood.

Greatest of these butchers is Lelith Hesperax, the Queen of Knives, deadliest gladiator in the galaxy. But she has abandoned the Dark City to walk alongside the nomadic death cultists of the Ynnead, and in her absence rise pretenders to her blood-soaked crown.

When a blade strikes at Lelith from the shadows, she is dragged back to Commorragh and into the murderous games of the Living Muse himself – Asdrubael Vect. As his schemes coil around her, the Queen of Knives finds herself ensnared once more in Vect’s terrible web, and this time her blades may not be enough to free her…

This collection of novels and short stories from across the front lines of the Astra Militarum includes the novels Death World, by Steve Lyons, in which the iconic Catachan Jungle Fighters must fight a xenos threat on Rogar III; a crucially important general must be rescued from the t’au in Kasrkin by Edoardo Albert; and a sanctioned psyker must fight both prophecy and betrayal in Witchbringer by Steven B Fischer.

For the Imperial forces, every hour will be a hopeless fight for survival. But the man in the saviour pod is Arcadian Leontus – Lord Commander of the Segmentum Solar, peerless tactician and mastermind of countless victories.
