Defend humanity’s final flickering light in the dark frontier of the Gilead System with Warhammer 40,000: Wrath & Glory - Vow of Absolution. While the Imperium of Man fractures under the cataclysmic opening of the Great Rift, the Space Marines of the Absolvers Chapter stand resolute. Bound by ancient, unbreakable oaths, these elite Adeptus Astartes find themselves cut off from Terra’s light, their numbers steadily dwindling against a relentless tide of heretics, xenos, and the warp.
From the teeming, militarized halls of Castle Grigori on Gilead Primus—where young Aspirants are brutally trained to replenish the Chapter's losses—to the scarred, ancient hull of the Battle Barge Vow of Absolution holding the line within the Reach, the Absolvers are all that stand between survival and absolute damnation. Whether your campaign demands high-stakes military strikes against brutal Ork warbands, tense tactical standoffs with the enigmatic Aeldari, or the tragic tragedy of hunting down your own Traitorous fallen brethren, this essential sourcebook immerses your players in the cold, grimdark reality of Space Marine warfare.
