10 Warhammer 40k Stories That Would Make INCREDIBLE Movies
4. The Devastation Of Baal
A world under siege, allies and enemies turned friends coming to its aid, giant battles against a faceless and remorseless enemy. These are the things that blockbusters are made of and these are things that happened during the devastation of Baal.
The Tyranid hive fleet approaching Baal was so large it blocked out the stars in space, even with the losses it had taken from preemptive strikes sent against it by the Blood Angel Commander of Baal, Dante. He called for reinforcements from the Blood Angels' successor chapters and was soon answered by reinforcement arriving from across the galaxy. Even the excommunicated Knights of Blood answered the call for help from their home world.
After hard fighting, when all seemed lost, Roboute Guilliman arrived in the skies above Baal to aid his brothers during their darkest hours. Much more difficult fighting lay ahead but when victory was won the Space Marines went to reclaim Baal's moons. On one moon they found no survivors but did find an imposssibly large pile of skulls arranged in the sigil of one of their most ancient nemeses; the Khornate Bloodthirster Ka'Bandha. Can you say sequel?!
