More characters

  • Lord Bale — Chaos commander · A Chaos Space Marine leader on Tartarus.

Quick notes

  • Follow Gabriels Blood Ravens. Gabriel Angelos is the campaign commander, supported by Librarian Isador Akios.
  • Recognize the four forces. The Orks, Eldar, Chaos and Blood Ravens pursue different goals on Tartarus.
  • Keep later campaigns separate. Winter Assault tells a different campaign story, while Dark Crusade and Soulstorm use territorial campaign structures.
  • Use the directory as a spoiler-light reference. The summaries identify allegiances and roles without explaining every late betrayal or ending.
Useful tip

The summaries identify allegiances and roles without explaining every late betrayal or ending. Mission-specific objectives remain the best guide to what must be done next.
