Cimmeriac

The Cimmeriac were a little-known xenos race from the Eastern Fringe.

Facing the Tyranid invasion of Hive Fleet Jormungandr in the late 41st Millennium, they accepted the uneasy truce proposed by High Admiral Vortigern Hanroth to join his loose alliance of various fleets with their Shadowcruiser starships.

In 995.M41, during the subsequent Battle of Black Nebula, Hanroth and his unlikely allies shattered Hive Fleet Jormungandr.

Nevertheless, less than five Terran years later Hanroth himself would lead the obliteration of the Cimmeriac civilisation in the name of the Emperor, proving once again that despite all the HFY! Imperium and Chaos fans love to rub in the faces of Xenos players, in the end even the "good guys" of the humans are scumbags who are willing to kill those who fight beside them for their own gain.
