Protecting the Great Gun: Defending Volkus from Tyranid Invasion in Kill Team: Typhon

In the grimdark future of Warhammer 40,000, the battle for survival is never-ending. On the fortress world of Volkus, chaos reigns as multiple factions vie for control. The T’au Empire is making its move, Orks are planning to steal the coveted Massif Ballistus, and Chaos cults run wild. Amidst this turmoil, a new and terrifying threat looms: the Tyranid invasion. The latest expansion for Kill Team, Typhon, introduces an epic new chapter where players must defend the great weapon on Volkus from the ravenous hive fleets of the Tyranids.

The Setting: Volkus in Crisis

Volkus, a world of monumental significance to the Imperium, is on the verge of utter collapse. The planet's strategic position has made it a target for various factions, but nothing compares to the new threat from the Tyranids. The planet’s massive gun, known as the Great Gun, is pivotal in the ongoing war against the enemies of the Imperium. Its colossal power has made it the focus of attention for many enemies, and it’s now up to a brave few to protect it.

With planetary forces already stretched thin and fervent pilgrims scattered across the world, there’s little standing between the Tyranid menace and the Great Gun. Enter the Adeptus Mechanicus, the tech-priests of Mars, who, alongside their mechanical legions of servitors, must hold the line against the deadly ravenous Tyranid forces.

A New Foe: The Raveners and Their Alien Cunning

The Kill Team: Typhon expansion introduces an all-new faction: the Raveners, terrifying Tyranid creatures that burrow beneath the ground, ready to strike when least expected. These deadly aliens are far more than mindless beasts—they possess cunning intelligence and the ability to adapt to any situation, making them a deadly threat for even the most seasoned commanders.

The Raveners are not just mindless predators. They have been bestowed with an element of self-preservation and strategic thinking, making them far more challenging to defeat. In Kill Team: Typhon, players will be tasked with defending the Great Gun from these intelligent, relentless aliens, who will stop at nothing to ensure the Imperium's downfall.

The Role of the Adeptus Mechanicus and Servitors

As the ravenous Tyranids begin their invasion, the Adeptus Mechanicus are the last line of defense standing between them and the Great Gun. Armed with advanced weaponry and driven by an unshakable sense of duty, these tech-priests and their servitors will fight to the bitter end to protect the world of Volkus and its most important weapon.

The Adeptus Mechanicus, with their vast knowledge of technology and battlefield tactics, are well-equipped to face the Tyranid threat. Their servitors—mechanized beings that serve as both laborers and warriors—will also play a key role in holding back the Tyranid swarm. Together, they form a formidable force against the Tyranid’s insidious advance.

New Relics Beneath the Sands: Uncovering Secrets in the Darkness

While the battle rages on above ground, strange relics have begun to emerge from beneath the sands of Volkus. These relics, uncovered by tectonic quakes that follow the Day of Firing, could hold the key to turning the tide of the war. But these ancient secrets are not unguarded. Alien horrors lie in wait, and explorers brave enough to delve into the darkness below must be prepared for what they may encounter.

These relics could grant powerful new abilities to those who uncover them—but the cost may be higher than anyone can imagine. Will the Adeptus Mechanicus and their allies be able to harness these secrets in time to repel the Tyranid invasion, or will the horrors lurking beneath Volkus prove too much to overcome?
