Synopsis

A Warhammer 40,000 story Toa, a Shellmaker who serves the Empra happily, has a chance encounter with an Angel, and her entire worldview changes. Is her entire existence a lie? READ IT BECAUSE Take a look at the 41st Millennium through a very different lens – from the primitive people who are used as labour by the Imperium. THE STORY Everyone in the Imperium does their part to further the great war machine that keeps mankind safe – whether they know it or not. On a feral world, Toa works hard to make shells for the Empra in the sky – across her world, rivet makers and others do their jobs as well. When Toa encounters an Angel in the wilds of her world, her entire existence is turned upside down – with drastic consequences. This story is also available in Inferno! Volume 3.
