The Age of the Dark Imperium is one of the major time periods of the Imperium of Man. It was preceded by the Time of Ending, starting in M42. As of Warhammer 40,000 8th edition, it is the "present day" of the setting.
Despite the Imperium being cut in half by the biggest Warp Storm the galaxy has ever seen, the Imperium has rallied around the resurrected Roboute Guilliman, now back in his old role as Lord Commander of the Imperium. While the Primarch has managed to fix a substantial deal of the damage caused to the Imperium by the Great Rift, even he knows that the worst is yet to come.
Indomitus Crusade
Big G's first military campaign after crowning himself the Lord Commander of the Imperium. The Indomitus crusade was aimed at shifting the Imperium into the offensive after the damage done by the 13th Black Crusade by going into the stranded "Dark Imperium" and try to liberate as many besieged Imperial worlds as possible, while exterminatusing those unable to be taken. Additionally, the other objective is simply to kick chaos out of their lawn and try to re-establish some form of order, so Guilliman can salvage what's left of it.
Aiding him here are whatever Imperial forces he could muster, dozens of space marine chapters, and the Primaris Marines, Daddy Cawl's pet project.
At the end of the crusade; Chaos' momentum has effectively been destabilized and halted, but the damage has been done; hundreds of Imperial worlds have either been destroyed or corrupted beyond measure and while Chaos' advance has been stunted; they're still causing trouble for the Imperials. Overall Guilliman stopped the Imperium from bleeding to death, but now he has to contend with a nasty infection from the wound. Still, you can nurse a sick man back to health, but you can't do anything anymore once he's dead.
In the confusion, Nurgle's armies led by Mortarion invades Ultramar, so Robby now has to go back and defend his home system.
Ultima Founding
Cawl's Primaris marines are used to reinforce a number of marine chapters to get them back into optimal fighting strength, while some new chapters comprised entirely of Primaris marines are also founded.
The Emperor's finest are gearing up for some dark times ahead.
Plague Wars
Nurgle's offensive into Ultramar. Using the Scourge Stars as a staging area; Mortarion led Nurgle armies in a bloody campaign to annex Ultramar into Nurgle's realm. The home team is led by none other than Grandpappy Smurf himself (also a reason he had to cut the Indomitus Crusade short).
The war was decided in The Battle for Konor, which saw Mortarion being pushed back, but at a great cost; dozens of worlds either destroyed or corrupted beyond salvation. Morty would have probably went in for another go, but because most of his forces were sent on his campaign; the other chaos gods decided to invade the Scourge Stars for shits and giggles, so he was forced to retreat and deal with their shit.
