A deadly plague, spread by music, sweeps the embattled planet, and the forces of Typhus, an ancient horror and the Herald of Nurgle, land to lay waste to the survivors. Can the desperate Imperial defenders hold out against the dark forces of the Plague Lord, or will they fall to the Carrion Anthem?
