The First War for Armageddon: Daemons and Secrets
The First War for Armageddon began when forces of Chaos under the Daemon Primarch Angron descended upon one of the Imperium of Man’s most important industrial worlds. This episode explores the desperate defense of Armageddon against daemons, World Eaters, and other corrupted forces whose presence transformed the conflict into more than a conventional planetary invasion. Listeners will learn how the Space Wolves, Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, and other forces contributed to defeating Angron and containing the daemonic assault. The episode also examines the disturbing aftermath, when Imperial authorities attempted to suppress knowledge of Chaos and the Grey Knights among surviving soldiers and civilians. Those measures brought the Inquisition into conflict with the Space Wolves and created consequences far beyond the battlefield victory itself. In Warhammer 40,000, the First War for Armageddon demonstrates that the Imperium can defeat Chaos militarily while still committing extraordinary acts in the name of preventing knowledge from spreading.
