Editing Indomitus Crusade

Indomitus Crusade.


<blockquote>
" ''To the Space Marine Chapters bloodied and besieged in the dark Imperium, we bring reinforcement. To the Chapters lost in valiant duty or driven to destruction, we offer rebirth. To the enemies of my father's empire, we bring death.

" ''With these words I, Roboute Guilliman, Lord Commander of the Imperium, son of the Emperor of Mankind declare the Indomitus Crusade. Traitors, mutants, daemons. Heed to the coming of my armies and the ruin we promise to your miserable kind.''"

" ''This galaxy is ours!''"

Roboute Guilliman, Lord Commander of the Imperium, son of the Emperor of Mankind.


The Indomitus Crusade is the Imperium's latest major military campaign, in response to the 13th Black Crusade, its successful destruction of Cadia and the fracturing of the galaxy in two pieces. After the combined effords of Archmagos Cawl, Saint Celestine and the Ynnari to bring the Primarch Roboute Guilliman back from stasis, he reaches Terra and takes full control of the Imperium to try and get shit done. To do this, he declares a massive crusade to push back the forces of Chaos, unveiling his brand new and very marketable Primris Marines, to spearhead his attack against Chaos, even if noone really trusts these new guys. The Indomitus Crusade lasted around a century and managed to stabilize the Imperium, but the 13th Black Crusade is technically still going on. Also, this event is the first major step into the 42 Millenium (even though technically could not be the case because calendars are fucked in this grimdark future), Ciaphas Cain's novels notwithstanding. 


This event is specially remarkable because this is the biggest advance of the 40K storyline in decades, and making people really afraid of this being another Age of Sigmar. For now, those fears have been pushed aside, the galaxy is still there (although split in two). It also brought forth the 8th Ed Codex, which focuses a lot on the battle of the Imperium vs Chaos (so nothing has changed that much, I suppose).
