Editing Octarius War (section)

Since then, the dumpster fire keeps growing. [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka|Ghazghkull]] rallied the Orks and repulsed most of the Tyranids from the system and is currently getting them ready for what he's planning as the biggest, baddest [[WAAAGH]] in history. The Tyranids, realizing that it's a lost cause, have broken off from Octarius and attacking nearby worlds instead. At the end of the conflict, Kryptmann did two things. At best he bought the Imperium some time as the Tyranids are reeling from the conflict and the Orks are still gearing up, so there's still time to prepare for them. At worst, he just replaced the Tyranids with the Orks, as now the Orks are getting organized for a WAAAGH that could very well eclipse the devastation of the Tyranids once it gets started.

Now this brings up the question of 'Why not blow the planets around the war to shit? Why not just carpet-bomb the Octarius system with Cyclonic Torpedoes and Virus Bombs? Considering Ghazghkull managed to largely eliminate the nids in Octarius, that would mean he brought a naval fleet powerful enough to rival a Tyranid Hive fleet, something the Imperium struggles to scrape up in the best of times. So if an [[Exterminatus]] fleet were to try and purge Octarius itself, they'd have to contend with splinter fleets and their Shadow of the Warp interference AND the bulk of a massive WAAAGH-ready naval fleet at the same time. This would take resources the Imperium currently can't afford to spare given how Chaos is currently banging on their battle-worn doors and Papa Smurf is too busy doing everything to keep them from breaking it down.

Basically, it's a lose, lose, lose situation for the Imperium. The only solution seems to revolve around buying time and cordoning off as much territory as possible---Whatever spews forth will essentially be warp tainted Ork/Tyranid Hybrids led by Ghazzy... Seems like they have started fucking off to nearby planets after the Great Rift was formed. Though most likely nothing will come of it, since GW decided to [[Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition|advance the plot a couple hundred years]] and the only way they can resolve the whole kerfuffle without fucking over [[Space Marine|their most]] [[Imperium of Man|popular factions]] is to quietly sweep it under the rug (having the Rift eat it would serve the purpose well).

At a Warhammer reveal event the second 9th Edition Warzone series, Warzone: Octarius, was revealed. The plot follows Imperial Guard, Inquisition, and Deathwatch in Ocatrius. Kryptman's "genius" plan has led to a new threat where the Orks and Tyranids could spill out their cage fight outside the cage. As such Imperial Forces are trying to contain the threat which could fuck up so much shit. Also involved is the 9E Kill Team, which had its first boxset set in Octarius, [[Awesome|where plastic Kriegers with shovels fought against a band of Kommandos dressed like full-on Ramborks.]]

The Black Templars are also en route to try and help fix the situation, and if the rumors are true, the Imperial Guard will be deploying there in significant numbers as well in their Codex.
