This amazing art is of the The Fall of Damnos.
The Fall of Damnos is a tale of tragedy and relentless warfare in Warhammer 40,000, where hope is consumed by the cold, unfeeling grip of ancient doom. Damnos, an icy world in the Ultramar Segmentum, was once a prosperous colony of the Imperium, its people thriving despite the harsh conditions. But beneath the frozen surface, deep within the planet’s crust, something far older and more terrifying than humanity stirred. The Necrons—deathless, mechanical horrors from a forgotten age—awoke from their eons-long slumber, and with them came the chilling inevitability of extinction.
The awakening of the Necron legions marked the beginning of Damnos’ end. As mining operations unwittingly disturbed their tombs, the Necrons rose, led by the cold and calculating Overlord The Undying. The world trembled as legions of metallic warriors emerged from the ice, their gauss weaponry stripping flesh and bone from the living with terrifying precision. The Imperium’s response was swift, and the Ultramarines’ 2nd Company, under the command of Captain Cato Sicarius, was deployed to face this unimaginable threat. What followed was a desperate struggle for survival, with the Ultramarines fighting valiantly to hold back the tide of reanimating Necrons, their forces battered by relentless waves of soulless, deathless enemies.
Despite the heroism of Sicarius and his Ultramarines, it became clear that Damnos was lost. The Necrons were an implacable foe, their bodies rising again after each defeat, their technology far beyond anything the Imperium could match. As the icy plains of Damnos became littered with the fallen, Sicarius was forced to make the bitter decision to retreat, leaving the world to its fate. Damnos fell, swallowed by the Necron legions, a chilling reminder of the unstoppable power of these ancient machines and the fragility of mankind’s empire. The Fall of Damnos is not just a defeat; it is a grim omen of the Necrons’ inevitable rise, and the Imperium’s darkest days yet to come.
