Warhammer 40k - Sanctus Reach Short Story - Death Mask by Cavan Scott

SANCTUS REACH
The Red Waaagh! descends on the world of Alaric Prime, intent on plunging the sector into war. The beleaguered Imperial forces of the planet prepare to sell their lives dearly to drive back the alien tide.

THE STORY
As the Red Waaagh! rages through the Sanctus Reach, the defenders of Ghul Jensen prepare for the inevitable onslaught. But an enemy lurks within that may doom their defence before it ever starts. In the spires of Hive Vinter, a cult has sprung up, worshipping the greenskins and their savage deities. If the traitorous denizens of the hive can link up with the main ork advance, Ghul Jensen will be doomed. There is only one answer, one way to end the threat with a single blow: the death of the cult’s leader at the hands of an Imperial Assassin.
