Crucible of Fire
When the last survivors of a shattered Astra Militarum unit take refuge in a vital manufactorum, they have no idea that they have just become the target of an Ork warband. Crucible of Fire tells the story of a desperate defence in which Lieutenant Kallisto Rytsar must make use of everyone still capable of fighting.

After his unit suffers devastating losses, Lieutenant Kallisto Rytsar takes command of a group of surviving Astra Militarum tanks and their crews. Together, they seek refuge in a manufactorum of vital importance to the Imperial war effort, hoping to hold out until reinforcements arrive. However, the same facility has been targeted by a large Ork warband led by an ambitious commander intent on plundering it. The defenders face attacks from every direction, forcing Rytsar to arm the manufactorum's workers and wounded as well.
