The fires of a new war consume the galaxy as Abaddon the Despoiler unleashes his monstrous Arks of Omen—colossal, weaponized space hulks engineered to harvest ancient artifacts across the stars. As these floating fortresses breach Imperial space, the nature of warfare undergoes a brutal shift. Battles are no longer fought on open plains, but within the claustrophobic, lethal, and metal-clanging corridors of starships.
Arks of Omen: Abaddon is the definitive gateway to playing Boarding Actions—a fast-paced, high-intensity game mode for Warhammer 40,000. This 88-page hardback book strips away heavy vehicles and long-range artillery, forcing you to assemble specialized infantry patrols to hunt down enemy forces through tight corridors, locked hatchways, and lethal blind corners.
