This art is of The Fall of Damnos.
The Fall of Damnos was a catastrophic event in Warhammer 40,000, marking the destruction of an Imperial colony by the relentless Necron forces. Damnos, an ice-covered world in the Ultramar Segmentum, had thrived under the Imperium until its inhabitants unknowingly disturbed ancient Necrons during mining operations. Led by Overlord The Undying, these Necron legions rose from their tomb beneath the ice, unleashing terrifyingly advanced technology and an unyielding wave of warriors who could reanimate after every defeat. In response, the Ultramarines’ Second Company, under Captain Cato Sicarius, was deployed to halt the Necron onslaught.
Despite the Ultramarines’ tactical prowess and heroism, the Necron forces were unstoppable, utilizing their resurrection protocols and overwhelming firepower to gradually reclaim the planet. Facing mounting casualties and the unrelenting Necron advance, Sicarius had no choice but to order a full retreat, leaving Damnos to fall into Necron hands. The Fall of Damnos stands as a bitter defeat for the Ultramarines and a stark reminder of the ancient and terrifying power the Necrons possess, capable of reclaiming entire worlds lost to time.
