Deep beneath the frozen ice plains of the dead planet Scythos lies the prison tomb of Lord High Anarch Tyrannus Necra – The Black Son. Guarded for centuries by a cadre of the most holy Adeptus Astartes, none but the purest can touch the desecrated ground lest they be consumed by the latent taint of Chaos. Imperial Astropaths lost contact with Scythos ten days ago and since then the shadow of Chaos has consumed the planet. The Archenemy of Mankind is seeking to rescue the dead bones of his greatest son.
You are the First Platoon of the infamous Spartan Seventh – the best Seek & Destroy regiment in the Imperial Guard. Your mission is to land on Scythos, re-establish contact with the prison tomb and ensure that the corpse of the Lord High Anarch is kept out of the hands of the advancing Chaos horde.
